PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,
The year is far from over but already investors have witnessed some remarkable events. The bad news came in the form of global market tremors that followed February’s single-day freefall in Chinese stocks. There was also fallout following a downturn in the U.S. sub-prime mortgage industry.
But there have also been many positive developments as well. Here at home, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board appears confident about the future and, so far this year, we have seen several record-setting days in the markets. The news has been even better for international markets. Some analysts believe valuations remain more attractive in Europe and in emerging markets than those in the U.S. and are predicting continued growth in a number of countries including France, Germany and Japan.
What do we make of these contrasting signals? When friends and colleagues in the industry voice concerns about such seemingly divergent signposts, I remind them that
such events underscore the importance of a well-diversified investment strategy. Study after study shows that a portfolio allocated across a diverse group of asset classes and investment sectors can help provide an investor with solid footing for the long-term, despite the short-term commotions.
We at ING Funds remain committed to providing our clients with a diverse and comprehensive line-up of innovative investment products, including a range of global and international investment solutions and retirement products — all designed for the long-term. Whatever your investing goals, we look forward to continuing to serve you.
Sincerely,

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2007
In our last annual report, we described global equities markets recovering after a pullback due to interest rate concerns. The first half of the current fiscal year also saw investors knocked off balance, but this time it was a distant market generally closed to them that caused the scare. The China stock market had practically doubled in 2006 and the long expected correction eventually came on February 27, 2007 when the Shanghai Composite Index fell 9%. The effect on sentiment was to shake relative risk strategies worldwide. Yet, by the end of April much of the effect had faded and reversed itself as investors’ attention reverted to local issues. The Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM(1) (“MSCI World IndexSM”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends (“MSCI” for regions discussed below) gained 9.7% for the half year. And the China market ended 26% higher than on February 26, 2007.
In currencies the dollar suffered from expectations that European interest rates would rise faster than those in the U.S., losing 6.5% against the euro, which reached a new all time high on April 27, 2007, and 4.65% against the pound. The yen however was buffeted by the “carry trade”: speculators borrow in yen at tiny interest rates and buy higher yielding securities in other currencies, often leveraged, riskily betting that the yen will not strengthen. Thus, the dollar gained 2.2% against the yen.
U.S. equities, represented by the Standard and Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index(2) (“S&P 500® Index”), entered the new fiscal year against a backdrop of a stable federal funds rate since June 2006 and a slowing economy dragged by a slumping housing market. By the end of December 2006, this was showing some signs of bottoming out with unexpectedly good new and existing home sales figures reported in the last few days of 2006, along with rebounding consumer confidence. Early reports in 2007, sustained this view and estimated fourth quarter 2006 gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was an impressive 3.5%.
However, from February it soon became apparent that the improvement in housing figures had only reflected the mild weather of early winter. New housing starts, sales and prices were now falling. GDP growth was sharply revised down below 3%. To make matters worse the country’s largest sub-prime mortgage lenders were reporting major losses.
Despite all this and a 3.5% drop in reaction to events in China, the S&P 500® Index held up well. Fourth quarter 2006 earnings figures showed a 14th straight double digit average increase, while the next merger or acquisition to revive investors’ spirits never seemed far away. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”), removed its tightening bias on March 21, 2007. By that time, the consensus was that sub-prime distress would be unlikely to spread to the broad economy. April was the best month for the market since 2003, even as the initial estimate of first quarter 2007 GDP growth was a slim 1.3%. For the half year, the S&P 500® Index returned 8.6% including dividends and ended just 3% below its record set more than seven years earlier.
Investors in international equities also enjoyed good to excellent returns based on MSCI indices. In Japan the economic recovery was losing impetus as our fiscal year started. Growth was only coming from exports and capital spending. Consumers were not participating despite the lowest unemployment rate, 4% since 1998 and prices that were barely rising. Yet business confidence remained high and profits healthy. And when a rebound in GDP growth at the fastest quarterly rate in three years was announced, supported at last by the consumer, it seemed the corner had been turned. The MSCI index was up over 13% for the fiscal year when the China market dropped. Most of that gain was erased over the next few days, before a succession of mixed economic reports, including the first year over year increase in land prices for 16 years, but also the resumption of consumer price deflation, allowed only partial retracement. For the six-month period, the MSCI Japan® Index(3) advanced 6.9%.
European ex UK markets at first bore some similarity. The Eurozone’s GDP growth was running out of steam and the third quarter’s annualized rate fell to 2%. Other headwinds in the form of a strengthening euro, a hawkish European Central Bank that raised rates twice and the rise in German sales tax should have dampened sentiment. Yet business confidence stayed buoyant and cheered by extensive merger and acquisition activity, markets in this region proved the most resilient of the major groupings in the face of China’s sharp fall. While a 10% gain almost vanished within days, the environment for stocks had improved due unexpectedly to the fastest GDP growth in years and the lowest unemployment for the Eurozone since records began. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(4) raced to a 13.6% return for the half year.
2
MARKET PERSPECTIVE: SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2007
In the UK, the MSCI UK® Index(5) was more subdued, rising 7.8% over the six months. The price of housing continued to power ahead with average prices up more than 10% in 2006. This and a robust service sector appear to have raised the UK’s growth trajectory with fourth quarter 2006 GDP 3% higher than a year earlier and first quarter 2007 2.9% higher. The problem has been an acceleration of inflation to 3.1%, the highest in ten years, two interest rate increases by the Bank of England to 5.25% and the certainty of more to come if inflation does not subside. Again however, it was widespread, large-scale mergers and acquisitions energizing a market that clawed back all of its 6% loss after February 27, 2007 and more.

ING GLOBAL EQUITY DIVIDEND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Global Equity Dividend Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund is managed by Nicolas Simar, Head of Value/ High Dividend and Moudy El Khodr, Senior Investment Manager Equities both of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 11.60% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM(1) (“MSCI World IndexSM”), which returned 11.87% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: In the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, the markets experienced increased levels of volatility. The Fund benefited by posting respectable returns, both absolute and relative to its benchmark. The last few months of 2006 were slightly positive, with mixed economic data being the main catalyst for stock market moves. In November, economic news was slightly weak. However, positive economic news in December paved the way for a strong start to 2007. Throughout the period, various events caused the markets to vacillate wildly. These included intense merger and acquisition activity, speculation on future U.S. interest rate movements, a sell-off in China, and better-than-expected company earnings’ reports. Oil prices also experienced increased levels of volatility, which impacted the energy and utilities sectors. China became the center of attention in February as rumors circulated that the country’s government might implement a capital gains tax, which caused investors to flee equities markets, particularly emerging markets. The financials sector was particularly impacted by worries over the U.S. sub-prime mortgage market and the uncertainty surrounding the direction of interest rates. Heightened merger and acquisition activity included Dutch bank ABN Amro being the subject of a bidding war between Barclays, and a consortium including Royal Bank of Scotland, Fortis and Santander. In addition, U.S. utility company TXU became a private equity takeover target. This activity served to boost interest in equities in the later part of the period.

(as a percent of net assets)
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The Fund’s holdings in the financials sector outperformed significantly over the period. Despite some worries around February and March relating to sub-prime lending, the sector surged ahead. This came as U.S. brokers, who were assumed to have significant exposure to the U.S. sub-prime market, posted strong results. The ABN Amro takeover battle also helped financials in Europe. Our underweight positions in healthcare and information technology helped as the two sectors underperformed. Information technology experienced a turbulent period in February and March when the sector was negatively impacted by a flight to safety.
In contrast, underweight positions in industrials and materials acted as a drag as both sectors outperformed. The sectors experienced positive earnings results on the back of higher commodity prices and increased merger and acquisition activity. Sentiment was boosted in these sectors by reorganization and bid speculation in companies like Temple Inland (paper and packaging) and industrials Deutsche Post.
We took profits by selling our entire position in Public Service Enterprises, a U.S. utilities company, which performed well during the period. In financials, our position in ABN Amro Holdings NV also helped. Telecommunications services company Magyar Telekom, the Hungarian fixed-line operator, performed well after Deutsche Telekom, the majority owner of Magyar Telekom, confirmed it would not sell its stake to a Russian company. The market viewed this move positively. Also, in general the Fund benefited from its zero weight in Japan.
In contrast, consumer discretionary company DSG International, a UK consumer electronics retailer, reported a loss in second-half earnings related to its Italian operations and declining domestic sales. A position in Washington Mutual, the U.S. retail bank, also hurt the Fund. Concerns surrounding the U.S. housing market weighed on the stock even though the company reported improved profitability for 2006.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our outlook for the Fund remains positive as investments in defensive companies may deliver downside protection as these companies, in our view, are less dependent on the cyclical economic environment and offer stable, high-dividend yields. We believe these positions may outperformance versus global equities, especially if we experience downward pressures and profit taking by investors. If the equity markets move sideways, we believe stock selection and our consistent, disciplined strategy will add value. In our opinion, this should result in positive absolute returns and outperformance relative to global equities. Only in the case of a strong rally, will it be difficult to outperform global equities. If the rally is broadly driven, investments in financials and industrials are also expected

to perform well. However, a rally driven by growth stocks (especially IT or healthcare) we believe will be the most difficult environment for the strategy. Nevertheless, we do not believe that absolute returns will be negative under this scenario. Regardless, the strategy will continue to look for sectors or individual stocks and exploit temporary undervaluations when they occur.

ING GLOBAL NATURAL RESOURCES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Global Natural Resources Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to attain long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by James A. Vail, CFA, Portfolio Manager and Anthony Socci, Vice President and Portfolio Manager both of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 14.24% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) (“S&P 500® Index”) and the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index(2) which returned 8.60% and 14.64%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The last six months have produced attractive returns in the natural resources space after fears of a global economic slowdown failed to materialize. The energy sector rose significantly in March and April as colder weather in the U.S. pushed natural gas prices higher. The materials sector saw a significant surge in base metal prices, led by nickel which was up by more than 60%. Additionally, prices for copper, tin, lead and zinc rose significantly during this period. This strength reflects continued global economic expansion, lower inventory levels, and recurrent supply concerns.
During this period, the Fund benefited from favorable stock selection in the materials and utility sectors. In materials, the

decision to overweight steel was the largest positive contributor. Strength in this industry reflected stronger-than-expected product prices and tighter export fees on Chinese steel. Our decision to not own Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining in the gold sub-sector also helped returns. In the utility sector, our investment in Mirant Corp. continued to benefit from rising power prices, exposure to regions with supply constraints and recent news that it may be a takeover candidate.
In contrast, weak stock selection in energy detracted from performance. Our investment in Evergreen Energy continued to experience negative investor sentiment toward its proprietary coal process. Other detractors were Hercules Offshore and Diamond Offshore Drilling, both reflecting concerns over natural gas inventories. Finally, our decision to underweight ConocoPhillips and Chevron Corp. hurt the portfolio as both companies continued to generate strong profits.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to believe that we are in the midst of an extended positive natural resource cycle, fueled by healthy demand and a lack of a meaningful response from the supply side. We believe, a lack of investment across the board will continue to support higher prices. Additionally, given the inability of new supplies to come on stream rapidly, we believe prices will remain high going forward. As recently as the first week in April, analysts increased earnings estimates to reflect higher-than-expected commodity prices. We believe this trend should continue. In our opinion, the stocks in the broadly defined natural resource

ING GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager, Steven D. Burton, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager and Joseph P. Smith, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, each of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 13.74% compared to the Standard & Poor’s/ Citigroup World Property Index(1) (“S&P/ Citigroup World Property Index”), which returned 15.84% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Overall performance for the six months ended April 30, 2007, was driven by the Asia-Pacific and European regions. Asian property stocks garnered the best performance by major region of the world with a total return of 25.3% (in USD), driven by Singapore’s total return of 52.7%. In our opinion, Singapore continues to show signs of economic expansion. Japan, 2007’s surprise story, generated a total return of 24.8%, as fundamentals continue to improve.
The European region followed with a total return of 17.5%, led by Continental Europe, where returns were consistently positive across all major property markets. The U.K. market saw all of the large-capitalization property companies convert to a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure in January. This positive event; however, was offset by a surprise rate increase by the Bank of England that knocked the wind out of the U.K. property stocks, which are down close to 7%

year-to-date. North America total return was 7.1%, as the U.S. markets, which opened 2007 on a strong note, sold off in recent months.
Thematically, some of the more significant events among world property stocks over the past six months have been: 1) the conversion of over $50 billion of listed property companies to the REIT structure in the U.K. in January 2007; 2) continued mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) activity, especially in the U.S., culminating with the Equity Office privatization deal, the largest ever in the REIT market, which closed in early February; 3) improving fundamentals in all major markets as the global economy, especially in Pacific Rim countries; 4) continued syndicate activity with the formation of new property companies worldwide; and 5) the approval of the REIT structure in Germany.
Stock selection in the Hong Kong and Singapore markets were positive contributors to relative performance for the period, while stock selection in the U.S. and Germany detracted slightly from performance. Overweights in Tokyo-focused companies Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. and Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. were positive contributors to the relative performance of the Fund. Property sector and stock selection within the retail and office sectors were additive to relative performance and security selection within the apartment and diversified sectors were a slight drag on relative performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund, while maintaining a core of higher dividend yielding, defensively positioned stocks, is in our opinion, positioned to take advantage of the higher growth countries and sectors which will likely respond better to sustained economic recovery. The Fund has decreased its exposure to U.S. property stocks during the past six

months, maintained a slight underweight in continental Europe and added exposure to the recovering economies of the Asia-Pacific region, particularly Japan and Singapore which are exhibiting improving property fundamentals and economic growth. Through an average 3% dividend yield plus 5-10% prospective annual earnings growth, global property stocks, we believe, continue to be well-positioned to conservatively deliver attractive total returns over the next several years.

ING GLOBAL VALUE CHOICE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Global Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by David B. Iben, CFA, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC(1) (“Tradewinds”) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 14.46% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World IndexSM(2) (“MSCI All Country World IndexSM”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM(3) (“MSCI World IndexSM”), which returned 12.50% and 11.87%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, global equity markets continued their upward momentum, despite a dramatic, but temporary reversal, when a plunge in China’s stock exchanges in late February triggered downturns across markets worldwide.
During the period, the Fund’s exposure in the industrials sector paced the Fund’s positive performance. Agco Corp., a manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment, was the Fund’s single largest contributor to performance as the agricultural industry continued to work its way out of a cyclical bottom. Railroad operator Union Pacific Corp’s stock price appreciated over the period after the company announced in late January its best year ever, achieving all-time records for operating revenue, operating income and net income. The company also announced a share repurchase and increased the quarterly dividend on the company’s common stock. Consumer staples holding Tyson Foods, Inc. is the world’s largest protein provider and supplies beef, chicken, and pork to the global marketplace and we believe that the company has the potential to benefit from increased foreign demand. The Fund’s Tyson Foods, Inc. holding was one of the largest individual contributors to performance.
The Fund’s information technology holdings hindered performance the most. In

particular, Korean-based Samsung SDI Co., Ltd., one of the world’s largest cathode ray tube and plasma display panel manufacturers, suffered during the period due to increased competition and price deterioration of its products. We continue to believe, however, that
the company is a quality franchise, with a strong balance sheet and dominant market share. Canada’s Barrick Gold Corp. shares experienced volatility throughout the period, but ended the period as a detractor from performance. The company, like many others in the industry, is being challenged by rising operating and labor costs. We continue to believe that long-term worldwide demand for many basic materials will outpace long-term supply. Barrick Gold Corp. is the world’s largest gold producer and remains one of the Fund’s largest holdings.
While the Fund’s investments represented numerous countries from around the world, U.S. investments contributed the most to performance while the Fund’s South Korean holdings detracted the most from performance. The Fund remains heavily overweighted in materials and heavily underweighted in financial sector stocks.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Although today’s markets offer a challenging environment, we continue to look for buying opportunities created by investor over-reaction to such things as inclement weather, lower than expected earnings announcements, unfavorable court rulings and regulatory changes, political risk, etc. Tradewinds seeks to invest the Fund in companies that we feel trade below their intrinsic value and in our opinion are mispriced by the market. Tradewinds favors strong business franchises with significant barriers to entry that have the potential to create value over the long-term. We continue to believe the Fund is well positioned in food, agriculture, commodities, and basic materials companies worldwide and continue to diligently search the world for investment opportunities.

ING DISCIPLINED INTERNATIONAL SMALLCAP FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Disciplined International SmallCap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Omar Aguilar, Ph.D., Portfolio Manager and Vincent Costa, CFA, Portfolio Manager, both of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Fund’s inception on December 20, 2006 through April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 13.00% compared to the Standard and Poor’s Citigroup Extended Market Index World Ex. U.S.(1) (“S&P/ Citigroup EMI World Ex. U.S.”), which returned 11.65%, for the period from January 1, 2007 through April 30, 2007.
Portfolio Specifics: Security selection drove returns over the period. Selection in financials and materials particularly helped performance. Sector allocation materially benefited returns during the period; particularly due to overweight positions in consumer discretionary and utilities.
Notable stock performers in financials included Astroc Mediterraneo, a Spanish real estate company and Kyobo Securities, a Korean financial services company. Both rose over the period. Positions in bwin Interactive Entertainment, an Austria-based provider of online gaming entertainment and Italian motorcycles manufacturer Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., which gained due to improved operational income, also helped. Another significant contributor came from a position in International Power, a utilities company which gained during the period due to positive earnings news.

In contrast, Jessops PLC, a photographic products and services retailer, acted as a drag as the company fell on profit warnings. While Bodycote International, gained during the period, increased levels of volatility during the period meant the position acted as a net detractor to returns.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our research builds structured portfolios of stocks with fundamental characteristics that we believe will translate into a performance advantage over the benchmark. Our analysis positions the Fund to capitalize on what we believe are high-quality companies with superior business momentum, growing earnings and attractive valuations.
At the end of the period, the Fund was overweight energy and underweight industrials and consumer discretionary.

ING EMERGING COUNTRIES FUND
PORTFOLIOS MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Emerging Countries Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (“Brandes”), the Sub-Adviser. Brandes’ Emerging Markets Investment Committee is responsible for making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund. Alphonse Chan, CFA, Portfolio Manager, Christopher Garrett, CFA, Institutional Portfolio Manager, Douglas Edman, CFA, Director — Investments, Gerardo Zamorano, CFA, Senior Analyst, Greg Rippel, CFA, Senior Analyst, and Steven Leonard, CFA, Senior Analyst, are the six voting members of Brandes’ Emerging Markets Investment Committee.
Performance: For the six month period ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 22.32% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets IndexSM(1) (“MSCI EM IndexSM”), which returned 20.27% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Gains for positions in the diversified telecommunication services, chemicals, and wireless telecommunication services industries generally advanced. Holdings from the industries registering advances in the period included Brasil Telecom Participacoes SA ADR (Brazil — diversified telecommunication services), Sinopec Yizheng Chemical (China — chemicals), and Partner Communications (Israel — wireless telecommunication services). Among the Fund holdings experiencing price declines during the six month period were Taro

Pharmaceuticals Industries (Israel — pharmaceuticals) and Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd (Taiwan — wireless telecommunication services).
On a country level, price advances for the Fund’s holdings based in Brazil, China, and South Korea made positive contributions to returns. Top performers from these countries included Vivo Participações (Brazil — wireless telecommunication services), Brilliance China Auto Holdings (China — automobiles), and LG Chemical (South Korea — chemicals).
Relative to the index, the Fund benefited from an underweight exposure to the oil, gas & consumable fuels industry and an overweight exposure to the diversified telecommunication services industry. The Fund’s stock selection in the automobiles industry also helped performance relative to the MSCI EM IndexSM. Conversely, stock selection in the wireless telecommunication services industry has a modest negative impact on relative performance. Industry exposures are the result of our individual security selection — not top-down industry forecasts.
During the period, we sold select positions as their market prices advanced toward our estimates of their intrinsic values, including Manila Electric (Philippines — electric utilities), Posco (South Korea — metals & mining), and DBS Group Holdings (Singapore — commercial banking). We purchased shares of companies at prices that we consider attractive, including Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL (Thailand — food products), Koor Industries Ltd. (Israel — industrials), and Bangkok Bank PCL (Thailand — commercial banking).

ING FOREIGN FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Foreign Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is managed by Rudolph-Riad Younes, CFA, Senior Vice President and Head of International Equity and Richard Pell, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, both of Julius Baer Investment Management LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 17.70% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World ex-US IndexSM(1) (“MSCI All Country World ex US IndexSM”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(2) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”) which returned 15.89% and 15.46%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the review period, we continued to favor Central and Eastern European investments which benefited performance results. In particular, Poland, Russia and Hungary were positive contributors. OTP Bank Nyrt (Hungary), PKO Bank Polski and Bank Polska Kasa Opieki (Poland) were all top relative contributors to results and largely explained the positive contribution of financials over the period. Within Russia, although positions held in Gazprom ADRs and OJSC Rosneft GDRs detracted from results, our exposure to Sberbank RF and UES Russia GDRs more than made up for this weakness. In other emerging markets, warrants on Bharti Televentures (India) had a positive contribution whereas Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (S. Korea) detracted from results.
Our decision to underweight Japanese equities was supportive to results, although stock selection reduced this positive impact. In the United Kingdom, stock selection as well as our underweight to this market contributed to results. In Asia ex-Japan, stock selection had a negative impact on results. Positions held in Melco International Development and Shun TAK Holdings

Ltd. (Hong Kong), both of which are involved in the fast growing real estate market in Macau, experienced profit taking over the period. In the dollar bloc markets, we were negatively impacted in the materials sector. In particular, our overweighted position in Newcrest Mining Ltd. (Australia) which lagged the Index, was a detractor to results. However, our underweight as well as stock selection in Canada helped results.
Our focus on laggard economies in Europe and those industries poised to benefit from economic improvement supported results in markets such as Germany, France and Italy. The position held in Commerzbank AG (Germany) further contributed to results within financials. The healthcare sector was also a positive contributor due to stock selection. Fresenius AG (Germany), the world’s biggest provider of kidney dialysis was a top contributor in this sector. Within energy, our underweight as well as stock selection supported results.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, Continental European markets remain attractive amid a wave of structural change in the corporate environment. We believe globalization is finally being perceived as a real threat to companies, particularly in France, Germany & Italy, and companies are coming to grips with improving productivity. Germany in particular, is interesting where, we believe the backdrop is improving, and we are focusing on banking, retailing and real estate related companies. In our opinion, valuations in Continental Europe are not demanding and we anticipate corporate earnings to advance more quickly in Europe than in other developed markets.
In our opinion, companies in the United Kingdom have improved corporate profitability, a process which we believe may be coming to an end. Also, we believe the consumer has likely reached a point where it will be difficult to rely on them to continue to spend more and keep the economy moving, and we remain underweight.
Within Japan, corporate governance remains a concern and we continue to find valuations extended, and we prefer opportunities in Continental Europe. In our opinion, the market is also vulnerable to global imbalances, particularly in the U.S.

ING GREATER CHINA FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Greater China Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Nick Toovey, CFA, Bratin Sanyal, Oscar Leung Kin Fai, CFA and Michael Hon Lung Chiu, CFA, all of ING Investment Management Asia/ Pacific (Hong Kong) Limited — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 18.19% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Countries Golden Dragon Index(1), which returned 16.89% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund benefited from its overweight in China as the country outperformed. However, its equity markets suffered a short-term correction in February led by concerns over macroeconomic controls as well as government measures related to the domestic ’A’-share market. These concerns were short-lived and the market subsequently rebounded.
China reported a strong set of macroeconomic figures including gross domestic product (“GDP”) which grew at 10.4% and 11.1% year over year for the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, respectively. As a result, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, continued to raise interest rates and increase the reserve ratio of the commercial banks in order to dampen lending growth. Despite these measures, companies in China reported positive results in their 2006 and first-quarter 2007 financial reports. Currency appreciation was another positive factor as the Chinese Renminbi appreciated 2.2%, during the period.
In Hong Kong, GDP growth remained high at 7.0% year over year for the fourth quarter 2006. Local politics in Taiwan remained deadlocked. Concerns over U.S. economic growth also hurt the performance of the information

technology sector, which underperformed the broader market. GDP growth in Taiwan slowed to 4.02% year over year for the fourth quarter 2006 due to a decline in consumer confidence.
Thanks to the strong performance of the domestic Chinese ’A’-share market, our overweight position there contributed positively to the Fund. In particular, overweight positions in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and China Merchants Bank were major contributors to the portfolio. Overweight positions in Hong Kong property companies, including Hang Lung Group Ltd., also performed well. Consumer stocks in China performed favorably as a group, including our position in China Resources Enterprises, which successfully turned its business around.
In contrast, our position in Chinese property company SPG Land Holdings Ltd. acted as a drag as it underperformed. The Fund was also hurt by underweight positions in China Steel Corp. and Formosa Plastics, which performed well during the period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Chinese domestic ’A’-share market has stabilized, and has even reached new highs since the correction in February. In our view, corporate earnings growth is on track and earnings revisions are positive. The continuous appreciation of Renminbi and an increase in the Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor quota is also likely, we believe, to help Hong Kong-listed Chinese shares. The correction in February was not unexpected and valuations of some Chinese stocks have started to look attractive again. The recently announced strong GDP numbers may provide a further catalyst. As a result, we have become more positive about the Chinese market.

In Hong Kong, sales volume for the domestic property market are picking up, while asset prices remain stable. Interest rates are at relatively low levels and in our opinion, companies with good corporate results are likely to outperform. In Taiwan, the continuing political struggle between ruling President Chen’s government and opposition parties continues to weigh on domestic sentiment. Nevertheless, we believe the longer-term outlook for Taiwan remains positive once its political deadlock is resolved. However, we have an underweight exposure as we believe global economic headwinds do not favor the country.

ING INDEX PLUS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Index Plus International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to outperform the total return performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(1) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”) while maintaining a market level of risk. The Fund is managed by Carl Ghielen, Portfolio Manager and Martin Jansen, Portfolio Manager, both of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 15.40% compared to the MSCI EAFE® Index, which returned 15.46% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund is designed to add value to the MSCI EAFE® benchmark through bottom-up security selection on the basis of customized sector models while maintaining approximate benchmark weights of regions/countries, sectors and industries represented in the benchmark. The active risk is substantially controlled by the relatively large number of securities in the portfolio (between 340 and 430). As a first step, the best ranked 200 stocks are selected for inclusion across countries, sectors and industries. To ensure that appropriate index weights and an index-like profile are maintained, an additional 140-230 of the next most attractive securities are added. The Fund is rebalanced monthly to maintain the desired tilt to stocks ranking well in the individual sectors and industries represented in the benchmark.
Country Allocation
as of April 30, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The Fund performed in line with its benchmark for the period under review. Security selection was especially strong in Europe (ex-United Kingdom) and Developed Asia (ex-Japan). Stock selection added modest value in the UK and Japan. By design, the Fund’s sector and regional weights approximate that of the benchmark; consequently no value was added through sector allocation or regional allocation. The predictive power of the individual factors included in each of the international sector models for a particular reporting period substantially determines the impact of stock selection in each sector.
For this period, our holdings in materials benefited returns due largely to the predictive strength of the Fund’s price to earnings factors. In industrials and consumer discretionary cash flow factors helped, while health care benefited from price momentum and price reversal. Return on invested capital benefited performance in energy. Stock selection in information technology, telecommunication services and utilities benefited performance. The only sector that acted as a drag was financials, where price to earnings factors were unsuccessful.
Current Strategy and Outlook: By design, the Fund maintains approximate benchmark weights of the regions, economic sectors, and industries constituting the MSCI EAFE® and is expected to track the benchmark relatively closely. Stock selection is driven by in-sector/industry ranking models. Portfolio construction and risk control are utilized to ensure the characteristics of the Fund are in an acceptable band around the benchmark. Our most attractive ranking stocks may have individual overweight positions of up to 1%, while for risk control purposes the maximum allowable underweight position per security is 0.50%. In this context, the Fund currently has a modest tilt towards lower-valuation and smaller-capitalization stocks and has a modest focus on stocks linked primarily to local economies. The current portfolio of stocks generates an historic earnings growth, dividend yield, and return on equity similar to the benchmark, but has less leverage.

ING INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING International Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Thomas R.H. Tibbles, CFA, Barry A. Lockhart, CFA, Trevor Graham, CFA, and Patrick Tan all of Hansberger Global Investors, Inc. (“HGI”) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 14.70% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World ex US IndexSM(1) (“MSCI All Country World ex US IndexSM”), which returned 15.89% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The past six months provided favorable returns for international equity investors. All sectors and regions provided positive absolute returns for the MSCI All Country World ex US Index. Pacific ex Japan and Emerging Markets lead the way regionally and from a sector perspective, the industrials, materials, consumer staples and utilities sectors were the strongest performing sectors on an absolute basis.
HGI’s growth strategy invests in companies that are industry leaders which have the ability to generate sustainable earnings growth. Our analytical resources are dedicated to those companies that have demonstrated sustainable competitive advantages in their industries. For the period under review, smaller capitalization and lower quality names out-performed, and the Fund trailed these more speculative situations that do not meet our strict investment criteria. The Fund’s overweight to information technology also had a negative impact on performance since the broad sector under-performed the benchmark and our holdings within the sector under-performed within the sector. From a relative perspective the consumer discretionary and materials sectors joined information technology and financials as the largest under-performers relative to the benchmark for the period while industrials and energy were the top relative performing sectors for the Fund. The out-performance in industrials and energy was driven by strong stock selection in these sectors.
Country Allocation
as of April 30, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The Fund’s leading contributors to performance for the period came primarily from the industrials, consumer discretionary, energy and telecommunication services sectors. The best performing stocks were: Denmark based wind turbine producer Vestas Wind Systems A/S (industrials); Japan based ceramics products producer NGK Insulators Ltd. (industrials); UK based recruitment consultancy firm Michael Page International PLC; and Hong Kong based retailer, Esprit Holdings Ltd. The greatest detractors to performance came from Japan, due to volatile Asian markets during the period. The worst performing stocks for the period under review were: Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (financials); followed by Nitto Denko Corp. (materials) and Nidec Corp. (information technology).
Current Strategy and Outlook: International equity markets, in our opinion, appear to be transitioning from favoring value style investing to rewarding more of a growth style. After seven years during which Value outperformed Growth, returns to growth investing have now surpassed those of Value during the last six months as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex US IndexSM style indexes.
With the global economy seemingly decelerating in aggregate, we believe it would not be unusual for the market to increasingly reward companies that have steady growth prospects going forward and accord a premium valuation to these forms over companies whose earnings may be downgraded more significantly with a slowing economy. For this reason, we are optimistic about the profile of companies held in the Fund which emphasizes quality, secular growth in earnings.
We believe one long term risk to global capital markets is the growing current account imbalances between nations. Diffusing these imbalances may cause

economic or capital market disruptions. We believe another risk to capital markets would be if carry trades were to unwind rapidly. In our opinion, the Fund continues to be structured favorably in the event that risk premiums widen in global equity markets in the future. The Fund remains slightly underweight in the basic materials and industrials sectors. This allows the Fund to be opportunistic in these areas in the event that prices in high quality companies become attractive through out the year. Within the broader interest rate sensitive areas, such as financials and utilities, the Fund is also positioned with a relative underweight versus the benchmark. The largest relative overweight positions in the Fund are in the consumer discretionary, information technology and healthcare sectors all of which are the result of a collection of very company specific growth profiles. In general, the Fund remains fully invested in equities of reasonably priced, high quality companies that have demonstrated their ability to create their own opportunities for growth over the long term.

ING INTERNATIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING International Growth Opportunities Fund(1) (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital through investment in equity securities and equity equivalents of companies outside the U.S. The Fund is managed by Uri Landesman, Senior Vice President and Head of International Equity of ING Investment Management Co. — Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 12.75% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East Growth IndexSM(2) (“MSCI EAFE Growth IndexSM”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(3) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”) which returned 15.81% and 15.46%, respectively for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The first four months, beginning in November 2006, saw healthy growth in international markets. Tightening global liquidity, however, and a regulatory scare initiated by the Chinese government as part of an attempt to cool its overheated domestic market led to a sharp global sell-off in equities in late February and early March. However, the positive momentum stemming from the prior months regained steam, spurred on by robust merger and acquisitions activity, which ultimately resulted in several international markets reaching newfound highs.
Positive performance was mainly attributable to an overweight position and stock selection in industrials. Selection in financials benefited returns. An underweight in energy and financials helped bolster returns. An underweight position in Japan and selection in Europe also proved to be effective.

(as a percent of net assets)

In contrast, security selection and an overweight position in information technology hurt performance. Furthermore, selection combined with an underweight position in utilities and an overweight in non-benchmark emerging markets and selection in developed Asia also hurt returns.
On an individual security basis, Capita Group PLC, a British human resources company, saw its shares appreciate on rising net income and increased sales. Sandvik AB, a Swedish manufacturer of industrial cutting tools, announced rising first-quarter profits and its stock reacted positively. Net Servicos de Comunicacao SA, Brazilian cable TV and broadband provider, also rose after it reported increased growth in TV subscriptions.
In contrast, OAO Gazprom ADR, a Russian oil company, saw its shares decline after being downgraded by analysts and on the back of media reports regarding inefficiency. Seven & I Holdings Co., Ltd., a Japanese holdings company, responsible for managing convenient stores, reacted negatively after missing its profits target. Yahoo! Japan Corp., the internet search engine, declined amid stiffening competition from Google.
Current Strategy and Outlook: With abating inflationary pressures, the outlook for international markets has improved in recent months. Consequently, we remain overweight emerging markets as the outlook, in our view, remains robust. We continue to maintain an underweight position in utilities and telecommunication services and we are overweight in information technology and consumer staples. One major risk factor that may occur in the future includes a potential slowdown of global growth, stemming from central banks further tightening, which could result, in our opinion, in reduced global liquidity.

Asian property stocks garnered the best performance with a total return of 25.3% (in USD), driven by Singapore’s total return of 52.7%. In our opinion, Singapore continues to show signs of economic expansion. Japan, 2007’s surprise story, generated a total return of 24.8%, as fundamentals continue to improve.
The European region followed with a total return of 17.5%, led by Continental Europe where returns were consistently positive across all major property markets. The U.K. market saw all of the large-capitalization property companies convert to a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure in January. This positive event; however, was offset by a surprise rate increase by the Bank of England that knocked the wind out of the U.K. property stocks, which are down close to 7% year-to-date.

Thematically, some of the more significant events among world property stocks over the past six months have been: 1) the conversion of all of the large-capitalization property companies to the REIT structure in the U.K. in January 2007; 2) improving fundamentals in all major markets as the global economy continues to expand, especially in Pacific Rim countries; 3) continued
syndicate activity with the formation of new property companies worldwide; and 4) the approval of the REIT structure in Germany.
While overweights in Tokyo-focused companies Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. and Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. were positive contributors to the relative performance of the Fund, the Fund’s underweight to J-REITS offset some of the positive impact to performance. J-REITs, which trade at significant premiums to their underlying asset valuations, continue to be strong performers as Japanese investors are bidding up prices to buy these securities, which offer a higher rate of yield than available in the Japanese market. The Fund’s overweight allocation to the U.K. market detracted from relative performance, as the U.K. market returned 8.0% for the past six months. U.K. property stocks are attractively valued and earnings, along with other fundamental valuation measures, are and will, in our opinion, continue to improve.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, international property companies have provided strong absolute and relative returns when compared to broad equities over the past several years. We believe valuation disparities continue to provide investment opportunities to an investor with a global scope. We believe international property stocks continue to be well-positioned to conservatively deliver attractive total returns over the next several years.

ING INTERNATIONAL SMALLCAP FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING International SmallCap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by two sub-advisers — Acadian Asset Management, Inc. (“Acadian”) and Batterymarch Financial Management, Inc. (“Batterymarch”). Each manages a portion of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the sub-adviser. John R. Chisholm, CFA, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Investment Officer and Matthew J. Cohen, CFA, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Managers both of Acadian. Charles F. Lovejoy, CFA, Director and Senior Portfolio Manager and Christopher W. Floyd, CFA, Portfolio Manager both of Batterymarch.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 27.66% compared to the S&P/Citigroup Extended Market Index World Ex. U.S.(1) (“S&P/Citigroup EMI World Ex. U.S.”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East Small Cap Index(2) (“MSCI EAFE SmallCap Index”), which returned 20.74% and 18.66%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Acadian — The following investments helped the Fund’s performance for the six month period ended April 30, 2007: Germany: German stock selection was a key source of value added, and was enhanced by the market overweighting. Capital equipment selections were particularly successful, including SGL Carbon AG, MTU Aero Engines Holdings AG and Duetz AG. Japan: Japanese stock selection contributed meaningfully to active return, although the net gain was partially reduced by value lost from an overweighting in this market. Key holdings in Japan included materials companies Yamato Kogyo Co., Ltd. and Pacific Metals Co., Ltd., which benefited from firm global demand and persistently high prices. Korea: Stock selection in Korea, combined with an overweighted country allocation, was another major source of positive return. Materials selections such as LG Chemical, Hanwha Chemical and LG Petrochemical rose notably as Chinese manufacturers boosted imports from these ethylene producers. Canada: Canadian stock selection added substantial value, modestly reduced by a small market overweighting. Metal and mining companies surged as copper and nickel prices reached record levels during the period. These included LionOre, Aur Resources and Inmet. Spain: Stock selection and a market underweighting generated positive active return, in Spain. The top performer was telecom Avanzit. Iberia Airlines was another key holding contributing value added, as the stock rose on takeover speculation.
Country Allocation
as of April 30, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The following investments detracted from the Fund’s performance for the review period: Turkey: The active allocation to Turkey was costly. Exposure to home furnishings manufacturer Park Elektrik was a significant source of value detracted. France: An unsuccessful underweighting in France offset a small amount of value added from stock selection, and resulted in a net negative return. The Fund did not have exposure to such benchmark contributors as equipment manufacturer Alstom, tire maker Michelin and hotel Accor.
Batterymarch — Our investment process emphasizes stock selection, which was the primary source of relative outperformance for the review period. Stock selection was particularly strong in continental Europe, with selection adding the most value in the industrials, materials and consumer discretionary sectors. Greek holdings Sidenor Metal, a steel manufacturer buoyed by the possibility of consolidation, and Jumbo, a retail distributor of children’s toys, are two examples of major contributors to performance. Stock selection was also strong in the Australia, New Zealand and Canada region.
Our weakest area for stock selection during the period was in the financials ex banks sector in Japan where the Fund was hurt by holdings in Es-Con Japan Ltd, a Japanese condominium developer impacted by fears that its golf course redevelopment project in Fukuoka was not financially viable.
In keeping with our investment process and philosophy which emphasizes bottom up stock selection and risk control, overall region and sector allocations had little impact on relative Fund performance. The cash position did have a negative impact, given the positive return of the benchmark.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Acadian — Country and sector weightings are driven by bottom-up stock selection. The Fund is currently overweighted in Japan, Australia and Korea, with active allocations to Turkey and Taiwan. Significant underweightings include the U.K., France, Spain and Italy. The sector focus is on materials, technology and durables stocks.
Our bottom-up process continues to favor Europe over Asia, as fundamentals remain solid, with healthy employment figures and recovering domestic demand helping key economies maintain moderate growth, in our view. Additionally, we believe that valuations are reasonable relative to other developed markets. We are most positive with respect to the outlook for Finland, the Netherlands and Ireland. In our opinion, New Zealand’s forecast is the most positive in the Asia-Pacific. Canada is also modestly positive in our framework.
Our short-term forecasts call for mixed results across the emerging markets. Latin America leads our rankings, driven by the region’s positive correlation to commodity prices. The EMEA region is mixed, with Russia and Turkey leading the region and central European markets negatively ranked. Asian markets’ forecasts cover a wide range from positive to negative. We view Thailand and Taiwan as most attractive, but are less favorable on China and India.

Batterymarch — In our opinion, the continental European economy is set for decent growth in 2007 despite an expected slowdown in export demand. The economic picture in the UK is solid but in our view more mixed, and is expected to slow, along with the rest of the developed world, into 2007 and 2008.
For Japan, barring major moves in currency, earnings growth of nearly 10% is expected for the year ended March 2008, but we believe companies have been overly cautious in the past five years: Some commentators expect the leading economic indicators to bottom in the summer of 2007.

ING INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING International Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (“Brandes”), the Sub-Adviser. Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee is responsible for making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund. Glenn R. Carlson, CFA, Chief Executive Officer, Brent V. Woods, CFA, Managing Director — Investments, Amelia Maccoun Morris, CFA, Director — Investments, Brent Fredberg, Senior Analyst, W. James Brown, CFA, Director — Investments and Keith Colestock, CFA, Director — Investments, comprise the voting members of Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 15.36% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(1) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 15.46% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Gains for holdings in the food & staples retailing, diversified telecommunication services, and food products industries had the most positive impact on the Fund’s performance for the six month period ended April 30, 2007. Some of the top performing positions within these industries included William Morrison Supermarkets (United Kingdom — food & staples retailing), Telefónica (Spain — diversified telecommunication services), and Nestlé (Switzerland — food products). Outside of these industries, other positions posting positive results included DaimlerChysler (Germany — automobiles) and ABM Amro

(Netherlands — commercial banking). However, weakening share prices for the Fund’s positions in the consumer finance industry, including Aiful (Japan) and Takefuji (Japan), dampened gains. Also detracting from performance relative to the MSCI EAFE® Index was stock selection in the diversified telecommunication services industry combined with a larger weighting than the index.
Among countries, advances for holdings based in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany proved most favorable to returns. Within these regions, some of the strongest performers included J Sainsbury PLC (United Kingdom — food & staples
retailing), Akzo Nobel NV (Netherlands — chemicals), and Deutsche Telekom AG (Germany — diversified telecommunication services). Select holdings in Japan declined in the six month period, including Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (commercial banking) and Millea Holdings, Inc. (insurance).
Relative to the index, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the commercial banking and automobiles industries, an overweight exposure to the food & staples retailing industry, and a lack of exposure to the oil, gas & consumable fuels industry. Conversely, the Fund’s stock selection in the electric utilities industry and underweight exposure to the metals & mining industry detracted from performance relative to the index.
Note that the Fund’s industry exposure is a result of a focus on fundamentals and valuations of individual companies. We invest in firms that we believe offer a “margin of safety” — companies selling at a price below our estimate of fair value. This often involves investing in unpopular firms and industries. In our opinion, industry exposures are substantially driven by stock selection, and not by any “industry allocation” decision. We believe quality businesses with margins of safety attractive to us represent compelling opportunities for long-term gains.
Current Strategy and Outlook: While we monitor short-term events in international markets, our investment philosophy focuses on company-by-company analysis. We take a long-term perspective and believe that none

ING INTERNATIONAL VALUE CHOICE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING International Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Paul J. Hechmer, Managing Director and International Portfolio Manager of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC(1) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 8.99% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia, Far East® Index(2) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 15.46% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund generated positive absolute returns for the six month period ending April 30, 2007. Returns, however, fell short of the MSCI EAFE® Index return.
While the Fund’s overall sector allocations created from bottom-up stock selection, generally aided returns, individual securities led the Fund to lag the broad EAFE market on a relative basis. The largest detractor from a sector perspective was telecom services. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation and KT Corp, one of the Fund’s larger sector positions, both came under pressure and failed to keep up with the overall benchmark telecom average. Overall, we still have high conviction in both these companies. Whilst two of the four companies in the information technology sector posted positive returns, they failed to keep pace with the information technology benchmark average. This was primarily led by a weakness in NEC Electronics Corp., a leading Japanese semiconductor manufacturer, who indicated that its restructuring efforts will extend beyond their initially indicated time frame.
From a relative performance perspective, the Fund’s positions in energy companies were the best performing sector; exposure in such companies as

Nippon Oil Corp., added to the Fund during the period, and Technip SA helped boost overall performance. And, as in the past, the materials sector and the Fund’s respective holdings generated strong positive returns with some of the Fund’s largest performance contributors coming from this area, including Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd., Rio Tinto PLC and Stora Enso OYJ. Also part of the materials sector, Barrick Gold was the largest detractor from performance, with its weakness in price over the six month period and its significant weighting in the portfolio. For the period, the largest net contributor to results was Premiere AG. The stock rallied significantly on positive news that the company retained rights to broadcast live soccer.
Healthcare was the worst performing sector in the benchmark, and an underweight positioning to this area of the market was additive to relative returns.
The overall market rally continued to be focused on European securities and those companies where there is heightened takeover speculation or mergers and acquisitions activity. The Fund’s general underweight to Europe and thus its underweighting to the euro and the sterling accounted for about 2% of the relative underperformance, as both currencies continued to appreciate over the six month period; however, good stock selection in France, Germany and the UK somewhat offset this underweight. Regionally, the Fund’s overweight to Asia and Canada detracted from an allocation perspective. Within the emerging markets, exposure to South Korea was a large detractor; however, positive stock selection in South Africa helped mitigate the shortfall in relative underperformance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: International markets continued their impressive run over the most recent period, although stock market volatility increased towards the latter portion of the period. The majority of investors, in our opinion, still appear to believe that current earnings levels and earnings growth will be sustainable over the long term and are therefore willing to continue to push share prices across the globe higher. We believe that certain markets offer pockets of opportunity, in particular in the materials and telecommunications sectors and to a growing extent in the energy sector, in addition to other individual stock opportunities that fit our criteria. Our focus is unchanged on providing superior risk adjusted returns over the long term.

ING INTERNATIONAL VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING International Value Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Nicolas Simar, Senior Investment Manager Equities and Head of the Value Team and Frederic Degembe, Investment Manager Equities, both of ING Investment Management Advisor, B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Fund’s inception on February 28, 2007 through April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 4.00% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia, Far East® Value Index(1) (“MSCI EAFE® Value Index”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia, Far East® Index(2) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 6.55% and to 7.10%, respectively, for the period from March 1, 2007 through April 30, 2007.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund was launched on February 28, 2007. During the two-month period ending April 30, 2007, rumors about potential merger and acquisition activity, created a higher volatility environment. But such rumors combined with positive guidance and increased liquidity served to drive markets higher. Our value positioning, however, did not benefit as the markets clearly favored growth stocks and cyclical sectors including industrials, materials and consumer discretionary. As a result, we ended the period below our benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Value Index.
The energy sector performed strongly after a very difficult 2006 and the Fund particularly benefited from its positioning in integrated oil companies. These companies outperformed the market during the

period and also provide a defensive position should the markets decline. Consumer staples also did well thanks to improving fundamentals, although some companies’ higher raw materials costs put pressure on margins. Our underweight in financials benefited returns as banks and insurance companies lagged.
In contrast, the outperformance of industrials and materials hurt during the period. Due to its value positioning, the Fund was not positioned to benefit from this rise. Telecommunications services’ poor performance also detracted from results.
Turning to stock selection, we benefited from an overweight in Nikko Cordial Corp. (Japan). Citigroup made an offer for the company at a premium to our purchase price. Santos Ltd., the Australian oil company also performed well. Positions in Volvo AB, which benefited from improved performance in the truck market, and National Bank of Greece SA also helped returns. Other companies that helped included Telstra Corp., Ltd, an Australian telecommunications company, industrial company; Arcelor Mittal, which has seen its competitive position improve; and insurer Aegon NV, which in our view has been undervalued by the market.
In contrast, Fund performance suffered due to our holdings in Japan, as positions in Tohoku Electric Power Co. Inc., Resona Holdings, Inc. and SBI Holding underperformed.
Current Strategy and Outlook: If companies’ earnings forecasts are accurate, we believe that markets overall are not particularly expensive. However, as we go further in the cycle, the quality of earnings in some areas has declined. We question whether companies will be able to maintain their all-time high margins and still deliver strong earnings growth or will go through a period where companies report disappointing numbers. The conjunction of higher interest rates, declining real estate markets, weakened consumer spending, higher commodity costs, unfavorable foreign exchange markets and corporate margin pressure, in

ING RUSSIA FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Russia Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of Russian companies. The Fund is managed by Samuel Oubadia, Portfolio Manager, Bernard Mignon and Jan-Wim Derks all of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 20.52% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets IndexSM(1) (“MSCI EM IndexSM”) and the Russian Trading System Index(2) (“RTS Index”), which returned 20.11% and 19.95%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Russian market performed well over the six-month period despite the fact that energy stocks, which make up the bulk of the Russian universe, were largely unchanged. Nevertheless, a number of the market’s large capitalization stocks outperformed. These included companies operating in the banking and utilities sectors. One of the underlying themes over the period was the strong performance of stocks whose fortunes were tied to the growth in personal consumption. This is hardly surprising given that real disposable per-capita income has increased, on average, by more than 14% per annum in the past four years. The biggest beneficiaries of this trend were telecommunication, retailers, and food and beverage stocks.
Throughout the period, the Fund was overweight in telecommunication services. This benefited the Fund as both the mobile and fixed-line companies saw significant gains in their share price. Russia’s mobile operators also performed well. After several quarters of declining average revenue per user (“ARPU”), the trend began to reverse. Moreover, the
Industry Allocation

ARPU figures also exceeded analysts’ estimates. The fixed-line operators also surprised market participants as several begun to restructure their organizations sooner than anticipated. This led to financial results that were better than expected.
On an individual security basis, Sberbank RF was one of the better-performing stocks during the period. Sberbank RF is Russia’s largest bank as measured by assets and total loans. Its share price gained more than 76% as commercial lending continued to grow at a very strong pace. Consumer and mortgage lending are still in their early stages in Russia. As the bank with Russia’s largest retail network, Sberbank RF stands to capture a large portion of the market for retail loans. Sberbank RF was one of the Fund’s largest positions.
In contrast, Efes Breweries International NV GDR (“EBI”) did not perform well. The brewer operates in a number of markets in Central Europe including Russia, Kazakhstan, Serbia and Moldova. EBI’s share price fell more than 13% over the period. EBI’s shares were held back due to a $300 million rights issue that was used to finance a major acquisition and capacity expansion. An over proliferation of brands also caused concern among investors. Given that Russia is one of the fastest growing beer markets in Europe, the Fund held an overweight position in the company.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Since the start of 2007, the Russian equity market (as represented by the RTS Index) has not changed markedly. However, we believe this is somewhat misleading. In our view, most Russian indexes, which are dominated by the energy sector, are flat or have even lost ground. Nevertheless, there are still several stocks outside the energy sector that have produced double-digit returns. As such, the Fund is likely to continue to increase its exposure to companies operating in sectors such as banking and consumer non-cyclical at the expense of energy and basic materials.

ING EMERGING MARKETS FIXED INCOME FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return. The Fund is managed by Gorky Urquieta, Senior Investment Manager and Daniel Eustaquio(1), Senior Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 6.49% compared to the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified(2) (“JPMorgan EMB Index Global Diversified Index”), which returned 5.09% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the period, sovereign spreads tightened 0.24% to 1.78%, while the index’s yield declined 0.17% to 6.51% as U.S. Treasury yields dipped slightly. The last two months of 2006 were positive for the asset class as large inflows came from investors positioning themselves for the coming year. Nevertheless, the start of 2007 proved less promising than in previous years. Risk aversion hit global markets in late February and the riskiest markets sold off the most. This occurred after several events shook investor confidence. First, Chinese authorities announced measures to restrict speculative stock investment which sent the domestic index to a 9% one-day loss. Second, investors reacted nervously to the news and proceeded to unwind carry trades by selling positions in emerging markets to repay Japanese yen denominated loans. Third, former Chairman Alan Greenspan declared that the U.S. economy stood a one in three chance of being in recession by 2008. Lastly, concerns relating to sub-prime lending and weak durable goods orders contributed to the flight to quality for U.S. Treasuries. The reaction in emerging market debt (“EMD”) was quite impressive as the index spread widened just 0.20% at its most extreme. The Fund’s lower average credit quality, relative to the benchmark, helped performance during the period.
Overweight positions in Brazil (0.07%), the Ivory Coast (0.09%), and Uruguay (0.06%) along with an underweight in Lebanon (0.07%) were the most important contributors to Fund performance. A zero exposure to Malaysia also benefited returns.

In contrast, allocations to Argentina, Russia and Kazakhstan acted as a drag. In Argentina, sovereigns produced a - -0.12% return, with most of the underperformance coming in the last month of the period. An overweight in Russia, which underperformed, dragged down performance by 0.07%. Finally, an overweight position in Kazakhstan, an off-index allocation, hurt returns by 0.05%.
On a security selection basis, the main contributors to the Fund’s performance over the period came from Argentina (0.33%), Brazil (0.19%), Mexico (0.12%) and Turkey (0.12%). In Argentina, our position in gross domestic product warrants and issues from the Province of Buenos Aires were the main positive drivers. In Brazil, our local currency allocation allowed us to profit on falling rates in the domestic market, where our focus on the long end of the yield curve was beneficial as spreads compressed 0.23%. Finally, falling interest rates in Mexico helped the Fund. In contrast, selection in Nigeria reduced returns by 0.06% for the period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In general, we are positive about the prospects for EMD. One negative, however, is that spreads have tightened to record lows, and we consider EMD spreads on the expensive side. However, we believe positive emerging market fundamentals, credit rating upgrades, global environment and supportive emerging market technicals outweigh the potential impact of pricey spreads. Emerging market fundamentals remain very positive with strong economic growth, just below 6%. In our view, this favorable environment is aided by an overall surplus in many countries current accounts, a declining external indebtedness ratio and an increase in responsible fiscal policies. As such, we believe many countries’ economies will be capable of absorbing external shocks if and when they occur. Crude oil prices, a key ingredient of many of these developing economies, continue to be broadly supportive even after the correction from their highs in early August. Any slowdown in global economic growth is likely to be moderate, helped by healthy growth rates in Europe and Asia. Inflation risks are expected to remain well contained and liquidity is still very supportive. In Europe, the market is bracing for more tightening as economic activity continues to surprise on the upside. In the U.S., the economy is showing weaker numbers, but it is still expected to recover in the second half of this year. Technical market conditions are still supportive as investors have returned to the asset class even after the end of February sell-off. The new issuance outlook for 2007 continues to be supportive as payments due from coupons and amortizations are expected to exceed new sovereign issuance by some $14 billion. Taking in to consideration new inflows, this outlook becomes even more constructive.

ING GLOBAL BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Global Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by James B. Kauffmann, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 3.31% compared to the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Index(1), which returned 3.54% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Economic uncertainty continued to be a dominant theme over the period, causing large swings in investors’ expectations of future interest rates. However, considering the significant movement in yields over the period, the 10-year Treasury still ended the period down 0.03% from where it began. A stronger-than-expected fourth quarter 2006 report saw the economy grow by 2.5%, with a preliminary estimate of 1.3% for the first quarter of 2007. Core inflation fell from 2.8% to 2.4%, thus alleviating some pressure on the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) to take action to contain inflation. While a strong employment market has boosted sentiment around future consumer spending and the health of the economy, gas prices, which have surged 33% over the past six months, we believe will likely begin to weigh on the consumer in the near term.
On March 21, 2007, the Fed slightly changed its policy statement and removed its reference to a “tightening bias.” However, the Fed continued to indicate that their “predominant policy concern remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected.” At the end of the period, the Fed funds futures market suggested a market consensus of at least one easing in 2007. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke also sought to calm investors’ fears earlier in the period after a one-day free fall in Chinese stocks in late February. Combined with headlines about impaired American sub-prime mortgages, most major stock markets declined sharply. Since then, global equity markets have recovered all of their losses and continued to show, in our opinion, impressive strength.
Europe continued to exhibit strong growth. In particular, Germany posted the strongest year-over-year gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth of the G7 countries. Growth in Germany has exceeded 3.5% and is running 2% above estimates. UK growth and inflation figures came in higher than expected.
Global tightening continued as the European Central Bank increased rates from 3.50% to 3.75% due to inflationary concerns. The Bank of England increased rates by 0.25% to 5.25%.

As expected, the Bank of Japan increased its overnight call rate to 0.50%. The U.S. and Canadian central banks left rates unchanged during the period. Global long-term interest rates moved higher, primarily due to stronger growth and inflation expectations. Germany, UK, and Canadian 10-year government rates
increased 0.38%, 0.53%, and 0.13%, respectively, while Japan saw rates decline by 0.10%. Changes in the shape of the yield curve were very modest over the period. Yield curves in Germany and Canada flattened slightly as maturities on the shorter end underperformed longer-dated maturities. The U.S., UK, and Japan experienced steeper curves, with the U.S. leading the way as two-year yields declined 0.12% more than 10-year yields. Over the period, the U.S. dollar declined significantly against the British pound and euro declining 5% and 7%, respectively. At the same time, the yen continued to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, as investors’ risk appetite and the carry trade continued to expand.
During the period, the Fund was underweight the U.S. dollar as we chose to spread our allocation across the Norwegian krone, British pound, Mexican peso, Argentinean peso, and the New Zealand dollar. The Fund’s position in the New Zealand dollar was the biggest contributor to returns as the currency appreciated more than 10%. Most currencies appreciated against the U.S. dollar index which declined approximately 4.5% over the period. The Fund’s interest rate strategy also benefited returns. The Fund maintained a similar U.S. interest rate exposure to the index but was shorter in the UK and the eurozone. This enhanced returns as rates increased in these regions, reflecting their strong economic fundamentals. The Fund remained underweight higher-risk corporate bonds. This detracted slightly from performance as these securities provided superior returns relative to similar maturity Treasuries.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, global macroeconomic performance continues to be characterized by low volatility. The theme of U.S. economic underperformance relative to the rest of the world, in particular Europe, also continued. We believe market participants continue to expect the Fed to lower interest rates by the end of the year. Pricing in the U.S. Fed funds market suggests a single 0.25% easing, while further interest rate hikes are expected in Europe and Asia. We continue to believe that the Fed will not be in a position to lower interest rates this year. The drag from housing is likely to dissipate, the inventory cycle appears to be turning, and employment conditions remain favorable making a significant downturn in growth unlikely, in our view. Inflation remains outside of the Fed’s stated comfort zone, although it has moderated recently. However, with strong global growth putting upward pressure on energy and commodity prices, it is difficult to see much relief in the pricing of goods. The most significant question for global investors continues to be: can global growth remain robust while U.S. growth continues to slow? The U.S. comprises 30% of world GDP, with the U.S. consumer accounts for 20%. We continue to believe the global economy can decouple from a U.S. slowdown but not a recession.
In this environment, we will continue to position the Fund with the expectation of low volatility. Focus will remain on areas where we believe growth will be stronger than the U.S. We expect growth outperformance in Europe and thus will continue to overweight currency allocations while minimizing interest rate exposure. The currency revaluation process will likely continue in

China and we will remain overweight Asian currencies that stand to benefit from this process. We will also maintain exposure to the so called “commodity” countries. These are countries, such as Australia and Canada, which benefit from exporting commodities at elevated prices.

ING DIVERSIFIED INTERNATIONAL FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT
ING Diversified International Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term growth of capital. The Fund invests in a combination of other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) according to target allocations determined by the Investment Adviser. The Fund is managed by ING Investments, LLC, under the guidance of an Investment Review Committee(1).
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s current target allocations (expressed as a percentage of its net assets) among the international equities sub-classes are set out below. As these are Target Allocations, the actual allocations of the Fund’s assets are likely to differ from the percentages shown due to cash flows and the changing composition of the Underlying Funds over time.
Assets will be allocated among the Underlying Funds and markets based on judgments made by ING Investments, LLC. The performance of the Fund reflects the performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests and the relative success of asset allocation among the international equities sub-classes.
There is a risk that the Fund may from time to time allocate assets

to one or more Underlying Funds or international equities sub-classes that under perform.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 15.99% compared to the 15.89% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World ex US IndexSM (“MSCI All Country World ex US IndexSM”) for the same period. The Fund’s small margin of out performance to the benchmark can be attributed to the following.
| |
a. | The Underlying Funds on balance slightly exceeded their respective benchmarks. ING Foreign Fund and ING International SmallCap Fund significantly out performed, but this was mostly offset by under performance in ING International Value Choice Fund. |
| |
b. | Asset allocation had a beneficial effect on performance because the Fund’s Target Allocations at the beginning of the period included a lower allocation to Canadian stocks than the MSCI All Country World ex US IndexSM, and this region materially under performed international stocks in general. Conversely the Fund’s Target Allocations involve heavier weightings than the MSCI All Country World ex US IndexSM in the small cap and real estate sub-sectors, which were relatively strong. |
| |
c. | The effect of asset allocation changes during the period, measured in terms of the resulting changes in allocations to the Underlying Funds, detracted from performance by a little more than the gain in a. above. |
Current Strategy and Outlook: We adopted a new strategic neutral allocation on March 1, which gave greater emphasis to the specialty International Growth and International Value styles within International Core, which was reduced as a result. The new strategic neutral allocation also entrenched and increased the allocation to
International Real Estate, to which the Fund had introduced exposure last October. The strategic neutral allocation to Emerging Markets was reduced to make way for this.
On a tactical basis however we wished to remain over weight large caps at the expense of small caps, maintaining a bias towards International Growth at the expense of International Value and to
remain underweight Real Estate. We also wished to go over weight in Emerging Markets.
Thus the net impact in March of implementing the new strategic neutral allocations adjusted by our tactical positioning, to achieve the Target Allocations shown in Portfolio Specifics above, required only small additions to International Growth, International Value and Emerging Markets, financed out of International Core.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007. The Funds’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. The ING Funds included in this report are comprised of ING Mutual Funds (“IMF”) and ING Mayflower Trust (“IMT”) (each a “Registrant” and collectively, the “Registrants”); both are organized as open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).
IMF is a Delaware statutory trust organized December 18, 1992 with nineteen separate series, all of which are included in this report, (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “IMF Funds”): ING Global Equity Dividend Fund (“Global Equity Dividend”), ING Global Natural Resources Fund (“Global Natural Resources”), ING Global Real Estate Fund (“Global Real Estate”), ING Global Value Choice Fund (“Global Value Choice”), ING Disciplined International SmallCap Fund (“Disciplined International SmallCap”), ING Emerging Countries Fund (“Emerging Countries”), ING Foreign Fund (“Foreign”), ING Greater China Fund (“Greater China”), ING Index Plus International Equity Fund (“Index Plus International Equity”), ING International Capital Appreciation Fund (“International Capital Appreciation”), ING International Growth Opportunities Fund (“International Growth Opportunities”), ING International Real Estate Fund (“International Real Estate”), ING International SmallCap Fund (“International SmallCap”), ING International Value Choice Fund (“International Value Choice”), ING International Value Opportunities Fund (“International Value Opportunities”), ING Russia Fund (“Russia”), ING Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund (“Emerging Markets Fixed Income”), ING Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond”) and ING Diversified International Fund (“Diversified International”). IMT is a Massachusetts business trust organized August 18, 1993 with one series, ING International Value Fund (“International Value”) (a “Fund” and together with the IMF Funds, the “Funds”). The investment objective of each Fund is described in the Funds’ prospectus.
Each Fund offers one or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class O, Class Q and Class R. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase.
International Value is closed to new investments except for shares purchased (1) through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions; (2) by 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans that have selected International Value as an investment option prior to June 28, 2002; (3) by shareholders participating in mutual fund wrap fee programs who were invested in International Value prior to June 28, 2002; (4) by new 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans and new shareholders participating in mutual fund wrap fee programs subject to approval by the Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser based on their assessment of the Fund’s ability to invest the monies consistent with the Fund’s objectives in light of market conditions, the size of the purchase, and other relevant factors relating to International Value; (5) by certain institutional and separately managed account investors that are pre-existing clients of the Sub-Adviser; and (6) by employees of the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates. Proof of eligibility may be required. Institutional and separately managed account investors that are pre-existing clients of the Sub-Adviser and employees of the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates must identify themselves as such at the time of purchase. Failure to do so may result in a rejection of the purchase. The Fund may reopen in the future subject to the discretion of the Board of Trustees of IMT.
Effective July 31, 2006, Class B shares of Global Bond and Emerging Markets Fixed Income are closed to new investment, provided that (1) Class B shares of Global Bond and Emerging Markets Fixed Income may be purchased through the reinvestment of dividends issued by Class B shares; and (2) subject to the terms and conditions of relevant exchange privileges and as permitted under their respective prospectuses, Class B shares of Global Bond and Emerging Markets Fixed Income may be acquired through exchange of Class B shares of other funds in the ING mutual funds complex.
Effective July 31, 2006, the maximum Class A sales charge for Emerging Markets Fixed Income and

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION (continued)
Global Bond has been lowered to 2.50%. Return calculations with a starting date prior to July 31, 2006
are based on a 5.75% sales charge for Emerging Markets Fixed Income and 4.75% sales charge for Global Bond, while returns with a starting date on or after July 31, 2006 are based on a 2.50% sales charge for Emerging Markets Fixed Income and Global Bond.
Effective January 2, 2007, Class M shareholders of Emerging Countries were converted to Class A shares of Emerging Countries. In addition, Emerging Countries does not impose any front-end sales charge (load) on purchases of Class A shares of Emerging Countries by its former Class M shareholders for the life of their account.
Diversified International seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements, and such policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
| |
A. | Security Valuation. For all Funds except Russia and Diversified International, investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale, securities traded in the over-the-counter-market, gold and silver bullion, platinum and palladium are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at that time. Debt securities are valued at prices obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities and may be adjusted based on the Funds’ valuation procedures. U.S. government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. |
|
| Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Funds’ 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 Fund calculates its next net asset value (“NAV”) may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. The valuation techniques applied in any specific instance are likely to vary from case to case. With respect to a restricted security, for example, consideration is generally given to the cost of the investment, the market value of any unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of valuation, the potential expiration of restrictions on the security, the existence of any registration rights, the costs to a Fund 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 Fund determines its NAV or if the foreign exchange closes prior to the time the Fund determines its NAV, the most recent closing price of the foreign security on its principal exchange. 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 Fund’s NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of securities held by a Fund in foreign securities markets. Further, the value of a Fund���s assets may be significantly affected by foreign |
95
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| |
| trading on days when a shareholder cannot purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. In calculating a Fund’s NAV, foreign securities 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 Fund closes but before the time that a Fund’s next NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represent a readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time a Fund determines its NAV. In such a case, a Fund will use the fair value of such securities as determined under the Funds’ valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require a Fund to fair value some or all of its foreign securities include, among others, securities trading in the U.S. and other markets, corporate announcements, natural and other disasters, and political and other events. Among other elements of analysis in the determination of a security’s fair value, the Board has authorized the use of one or more independent research services to assist with such determinations. An independent research service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that a Fund could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, a Fund is not obligated to use the fair valuations suggested by any research service, and valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes a Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time the Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest approximates market value. |
|
| For the Russia Fund, the valuation procedures for Russian equity securities are to price local shares according to the most recent available bid prices. If securities are not listed on the Russian Trade System or on any other pricing service that lists available bid quotes, then the mean of at least two broker bid quotes is used. For equity securities of an issuer in Russia for which there are no readily available reliable market value quotations, the following benchmark pricing procedure shall apply on any day on which the largest securities exchange in Russia (the “RTS”) declines by 2.5% or more; the price of the security shall be adjusted by the amount of the downward change in a composite of the other companies that are publicly traded in the same sector as the issuer, if ascertainable, and if not ascertainable, by the amount of downward change in the RTS. |
|
| For Diversified International, the valuation of the Fund’s investments in its Underlying Funds is based on the NAVs of the Underlying Funds each business day. |
|
B. | Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds and Underlying Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method. |
|
| Global Real Estate and International Real Estate estimate components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. If the Funds no longer own the applicable |
96
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| |
| securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains. |
|
C. | Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds and Underlying Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: |
| | |
| (1) | Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day. |
|
| (2) | Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. |
| |
| Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Funds and Underlying Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities that are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market 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 Fund’s or an Underlying Fund’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. | Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar, generally in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds and Underlying Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or may use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. |
|
| Each Fund and Underlying Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. Each Fund and Underlying Fund intends to limit its use of futures contracts and futures options to “bona fide hedging” transactions, as such term is defined in applicable regulations, interpretations and practice. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund or an Underlying Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund or an Underlying Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as |
97
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| |
| variation margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund or an Underlying Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund or Underlying Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. |
|
E. | Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Fund pays dividends and capital gains, if any, annually (except, Global Equity Dividend, Global Real Estate and International Real Estate, which pay dividends, if any, quarterly and Emerging Markets Fixed Income and Global Bond, which pay dividends monthly). The Funds may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. |
|
F. | Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expire. |

| The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain. |
|
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. | Organization Expenses and Offering Costs. Costs incurred with the organization of the Funds and Underlying Funds are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred with the offering of shares of the Funds and Underlying Funds are deferred and amortized over a twelve-month period on a straight-line basis. |
|
I. | Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Fund and Underlying Fund will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Fund or Underlying Fund. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. There would be potential loss to the Fund or Underlying Fund in the event the Fund or Underlying Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral. |
|
J. | Securities Lending. Each Fund and Underlying Fund has the option to temporarily loan up to 30% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, each Fund and Underlying Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to a Fund or Underlying Fund in the event the Fund or Underlying Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. Each Fund and Underlying Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities |

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| |
| lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund or Underlying Fund. |
|
K. | Options Contracts. All Funds and Underlying Funds may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Funds and Underlying Funds may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Funds and Underlying Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds and Underlying Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds and Underlying Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds and Underlying Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. |
|
L. | Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are not readily marketable. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Funds and Underlying Funds to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may also invest in restricted securities which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be considered liquid pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board or may be deemed illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. Illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures approved by the Board. |
|
M. | Delayed Delivery Transaction. The Funds and Underlying Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the 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 these securities is identified in the Funds’ Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds and Underlying Funds are required to segregate liquid assets sufficient to cover the purchase price. |

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. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Funds.
The Investment Adviser may request that the Funds’ portfolio managers use their best efforts (subject to obtaining best execution of each transaction) to allocate a portfolio’s equity security transactions through certain designated broker-dealers. The designated broker-dealer, in turn, will reimburse a portion of the brokerage commissions to pay certain expenses of that Fund. Any amounts credited to a Fund are reflected as a reimbursement of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
The Registrants have adopted a Retirement Policy covering all independent trustees of the Funds who will have served as an independent trustee for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on an annual rate as defined in the plan agreement.
The following Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were:

NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
Foreign Securities (All Funds). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which the Funds and Underlying Funds 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 Funds and Underlying Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds and Underlying Funds 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 Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ investments.
Emerging Markets Investments (All Funds except Index Plus International Equity). 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.
Industry Concentration (Global Natural Resources, Global Real Estate and International Real Estate). As a result of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ concentrating their assets in securities related to a particular industry, each Fund or Underlying Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuation than a fund that invests in securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.
Geographic Concentration (Greater China and Russia). As a result of the Funds’ concentrating their assets in a single region of the world, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that invests globally. If securities in the region that each Fund is concentrated fall out of favor, it may cause a Fund to underperform in relation to funds that focus on other types of stocks.
Non-Diversified (Global Natural Resources, Global Real Estate, Disciplined International SmallCap, Greater China, International Real Estate, Russia, Emerging Markets Fixed Income and Global Bond). The Funds and Underlying Funds are each classified as non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, which means that each Fund or Underlying Fund is not limited by the 1940 Act in the proportion of assets that they may invest in the obligations of a single issuer. Declines in the value of that single company can significantly impact the value of a Fund or Underlying Fund. The investment of a large percentage of a Funds’ or Underlying Fund’s assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause the Funds’ share price to fluctuate more than that of a diversified investment company. Conversely, even though classified as non-diversified, a Fund or Underlying Fund may actually maintain a portfolio
120
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
that is diversified with a large number of issuers. In such an event, a Fund or Underlying Fund would benefit less from appreciation in a single corporate issuer than if it had greater exposure to that issuer.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities (Greater China and Emerging Markets Fixed Income). If a security is illiquid, a Fund may not be able to sell the security at a time when the Investment Adviser or a Sub-Adviser might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of a Fund’s liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount a Fund could realize upon disposition. Restricted securities, i.e., securities subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may be illiquid. However, some restricted securities may be treated as liquid, although they may be less liquid than registered securities traded on established secondary markets.
Rule 144A Securities (Global Value Choice, Greater China and International Value Choice). Rule 144A securities are securities that are not registered, but which are bought and sold solely by institutional investors. The Fund generally considers Rule 144A securities to be “liquid” although the market for such securities typically is less active than public securities markets and may lead to less ability to sell these securities.
NOTE 14 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with BNY, the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral must be in an amount equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security, however there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund. At April 30, 2007, the following Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

NOTE 15 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

NOTE 16 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon challenge by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. However, acknowledging the unique issues that FIN 48 presents for investment companies that calculate NAVs, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has indicated that they would not object if a fund implements FIN 48 in its NAV calculation as late as its last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. For October year-end funds, this would be no later than their April 30, 2008 NAV and the effects of FIN 48 would be reflected in the funds’ semi-annual financial statements contained in their Form N-CSR filing. At adoption, companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Funds has assessed the impact of adopting FIN 48 and currently does not believe that there will be a material impact to the Funds.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” The new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of April 30, 2007, management of the Funds is currently assessing the impact, if any, that will result from adopting SFAS No. 157.

NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
ING Investments reported to the Boards of Directors/ Trustees (the “Boards”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, ING Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep including ING Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products
123
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Boards.
ING Investments has advised the Boards that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. ING Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated.
Based on the internal review, ING Investments has advised the Boards that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.
In September 2005, IFD, the distributor of certain ING Funds, settled an administrative proceeding with the NASD regarding three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered into formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. Under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) with the NASD, under which IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings, IFD consented to the following sanctions: (i) a censure; (ii) a fine of $1.5 million; (iii) restitution of approximately $1.44 million to certain ING Funds for losses attributable to excessive trading described in the AWC; and (iv) agreement to make certification to NASD regarding the review and establishment of certain procedures.
In addition to the arrangements discussed above, ING Investments reported to the Boards that, at this time, these instances include the following, in addition to the arrangements subject to the AWC discussed above:
| |
• | Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING IM) identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined. |
|
• | ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters. |
|
• | In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company. |
For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K and Form 8-K/ A for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ILIAC, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the SEC on October 29, 2004 and September 8, 2004. These Forms 8-K and Forms 8-K/ A can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Boards are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.
ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Boards that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, ING Investments reported
124
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
| |
• | ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. ING Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business. |
|
• | ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements. |
|
• | The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds. |
|
• | ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies. |
|
• | ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance. |
Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General (the “NYAG”) and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices (including suitability); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); fund selection for investment products and brokerage sales; and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. ING has received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and is cooperating fully with each request. In connection with one such investigation, affiliates of ING Investments were named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation (the “NH Bureau”) concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.
On October 10, 2006, an affiliate of ING Investments entered into an assurance of discontinuance with the NYAG (the “NYAG Agreement”) regarding the endorsement of its products by the New York State United Teachers Union Member Benefits Trust (“NYSUT”) and the sale of their products to NYSUT members. Under the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NYAG’s findings, will distribute $30 million to NYSUT members, and/or former NYSUT members, who participated in the NYSUT-endorsed products at any point between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2006. The affiliate also agreed with the NYAG’s office to develop a one-page disclosure that will further improve transparency and disclosure regarding retirement product fees (the “One-Page Disclosure”). Pursuant to the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate has agreed for a five year period to provide its retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure.
In addition, on the same date, these affiliates of ING Investments entered into a consent agreement with the NH Bureau (the “NH Agreement”) to resolve this petition for relief and cease and desist order. Under the terms of the NH Agreement, these affiliates of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NH Bureau’s claims, have agreed to pay $3 million to resolve the matter, and for a five year period to provide their retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure described above.
Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING’s businesses.
These regulatory initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which ING is engaged.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
In light of these and other developments, ING continuously reviews whether modifications to its business practices are appropriate.
At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) provides that, after an initial period, the Funds’ existing investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts remain in effect only if the Boards of Trustees (the “Board”) of ING Mutual Funds and ING Mayflower Trust (together, the “Trusts”), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the advisory and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), annually review and renew them. In this regard, at a meeting held on November 9, 2006 the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered whether to renew the investment advisory contracts (the “Advisory Contracts”) between ING Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Funds and the sub-advisory contracts (“Sub-Advisory Contracts”) with the sub-adviser to each Fund (the “Sub-Advisers”).
The Independent Trustees also held separate meetings on October 12, 2006 and November 7, 2006 to consider renewals of the Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts. Thus, references herein to factors considered and determinations made by the Independent Trustees include, as applicable, factors considered and determinations made on those earlier dates.
At the November 9, 2006 meeting, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Funds. In reaching these decisions, the Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual review process. The Board’s determination took into account a number of factors that its members believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP (“K&L Gates”), their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment, to be relevant. Further, while the Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts for all the Funds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Trustees considered each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory relationships separately.
Provided below is an overview of the Board’s contract approval process in general, as well as a discussion of certain of the specific factors the Board considered at the November 9, 2006 meeting. While the Board gave its attention to the information furnished, at its request, that was most relevant to its consideration, discussed below are a number of the primary factors relevant to the Board’s consideration as to whether to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the one-year period ending November 30, 2007. Each Trustee may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory arrangements.
Overview of the Contract Renewal and Approval Process
In 2003, the Independent Trustees determined to undertake steps to further enhance the process under which the Board determines whether to renew existing advisory and sub-advisory arrangements for the funds in the ING Funds complex, including the Trusts’ existing Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts, and to approve new advisory and sub-advisory arrangements. Among these measures, the Board: retained the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Independent Trustees in working with the personnel employed by the Adviser or its affiliates who administer the Funds (“Management”) to identify the types of information presented to the Board to inform its deliberations with respect to advisory and sub-advisory relationships; established the format in which the information requested by the Board is provided to the Board; and determined the process for reviewing such information in connection with the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contract renewal process. The end result was the implementation of the current process relied upon by the Board to review and analyze information in connection with the annual renewal of the Funds’ Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts, as well as its review and approval of new advisory relationships.
Since the foregoing approval and renewal process was implemented, the Board regularly has reviewed and refined the process. In addition, the Board established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees, including the International/ Balanced/ Fixed Income Funds Investment Review Committee (the “I/B/F IRC”). The type and format of the information provided to the Board or its counsel to inform its approval and annual review and renewal process has been codified in the Funds’ “15(c) Methodology Guide” (the “Methodology Guide”).
185
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The Methodology Guide was developed under the direction of the Independent Trustees, and sets out a written blueprint under which the Independent Trustees request certain information necessary to facilitate a thorough and informed review in connection with the annual Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contract renewal process. Management provides Fund-specific information to the Independent Trustees based on the Methodology Guide through “Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables” or “FACT” sheets prior to the Independent Trustees’ review of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts. In 2005, the Independent Trustees retained an independent firm to verify and test the accuracy of certain of this information for a representative sample of funds in the ING Funds complex. The Independent Trustees have determined to conduct such testing periodically.
As part of a regular on-going process, the Board’s Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements and other changes to the Methodology Guide and other aspects of the review process, and the Board’s the I/B/F IRC reviews benchmarks used to assess the performance of each Fund. The I/B/F IRC also meets regularly with the Adviser and periodically with the Funds’ Sub-Advisers. The I/B/F IRC may apply a heightened level of scrutiny in cases where performance has lagged a Fund’s relevant benchmark and/or peer group of investment companies.
The Board employed its process for reviewing contracts when considering the renewals of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts that would be effective through November 30, 2007. A number of the Board’s primary considerations and conclusions resulting from this process are discussed below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service
In determining whether to approve the Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Funds for the year ending November 30, 2007, the Independent Trustees received and evaluated such information as they deemed necessary regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. This included information regarding the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to the Funds provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished for the November 9, 2006 Board meeting, which was held specifically to consider contracts renewals for the period ending November 30, 2007. In addition, the Board’s Independent Trustees held meetings on October 12 and November 7, prior to the November 9, 2006 meeting of the full Board, to consider the annual renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts.
The materials requested by and provided to the Board and/or to K&L Gates prior to the November 2006 Board meeting included the following items: (1) FACT sheets for each Fund that provided information about the performance and expenses of the Fund and other similarly managed funds in a selected peer group (“Selected Peer Group”), as well as information about the Fund’s investment portfolio, objectives and strategies; (2) the Methodology Guide, which describes how the FACT sheets were prepared, including the manner in which benchmarks and Selected Peer Groups were selected and how profitability was determined; (3) responses from the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to a detailed series of questions posed by K&L Gates; (4) copies of each form of Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory Contract; (5) copies of the Forms ADV for the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser to the Funds; (6) financial statements for the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser; (7) drafts of narrative summaries addressing key factors the Board customarily considers in evaluating the renewals of Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts, including a written analysis for each Fund of how performance and fees compare to its Selected Peer Group and/or designated benchmarks; and (8) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluations.
Each Fund’s Class A shares were used for purposes of certain comparisons to the funds in its Selected Peer Group. Class A shares were selected, as general matter, so that the Fund class with the longest performance history was compared to the analogous class of shares for each fund in the Selected Peer Group. The mutual funds chosen for inclusion in a Fund’s Selected Peer Group were selected based upon criteria designed to mirror the Fund class being compared to the Selected Peer Group.
In arriving at its conclusions with respect to the Advisory Contracts, the Board was mindful of the “manager-of-managers” platform of the ING Funds. The Board also considered the techniques that the Adviser developed, at the Board’s direction, to screen and perform due diligence on Sub-Advisers that are recommended to the Board to manage the Funds’ portfolios. The Board noted the resources that the Adviser has committed to the Board and the I/B/F IRC
186
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
to assist the Board and members of the I/B/F IRC with their assessment of the investment performance of the Funds on an ongoing basis throughout the year. This includes the appointment of a Chief Investment Risk Officer and his staff, who report directly to the Board and who have developed attribution analyses and other metrics used by the I/B/F IRC to analyze the key factors underlying investment performance for the Funds.
The Board also noted the techniques used by the Adviser to monitor the performance of the Sub-Advisers and took note of the pro-active approach that the Adviser, working in cooperation with the I/B/F IRC, has taken to advocate or recommend, when it believed appropriate, changes intended to assist in improving the performance of the Funds. These changes have historically included modifications in personnel responsible for managing a Fund and/or changing the Sub-Adviser to a Fund.
In considering the Funds’ Advisory Contracts, the Board also considered the extent of benefits provided to the Funds’ shareholders, beyond advisory services, from being part of the ING family of Funds. This includes, in most cases, the right to exchange or transfer investments, without a sales charge, between the same class of shares of such Funds or among Funds available on a product platform, and the wide variety in the types of Funds available for exchange or transfer.
The Board also took into account the Adviser’s extensive efforts in recent years to reduce the expenses of the ING Funds through re-negotiated arrangements with the ING Funds’ service providers.
Further, the Board received periodic reports showing that the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund were consistently complied with and other periodic reports covering matters such as compliance by Adviser and Sub-Adviser personnel with codes of ethics. The Board considered reports from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser and procedures reasonably designed by them to assure compliance with the federal securities laws, including those related to late trading and market timing, best execution, fair value pricing, proxy voting procedures, and trade allocation, among others. The Board considered the implementation by the Adviser and certain Sub-Advisers of enhanced compliance policies and procedures in response to SEC rule changes and other regulatory initiatives. The Board also took into account the CCO’s annual and periodic reports with respect to service provider compliance and his recommendations regarding service providers’ compliance programs. In this regard, the Board also considered the policies and procedures developed by the CCO in consultation with the Board’s Compliance Committee that guide the CCO’s compliance oversight function.
The Board reviewed the level of staffing, quality and experience of each Fund’s portfolio management team. The Board took into account the respective resources and reputations of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, and evaluated the ability of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers to attract and retain qualified investment advisory personnel. The Board also considered the adequacy of the resources committed to the Funds (and other relevant funds in the ING Funds complex) by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, and whether those resources are commensurate with the needs of the Funds and are appropriate to attempt to sustain expected levels of performance, compliance, and other needs.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the advisory and related services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers are appropriate in light of the Funds’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs, and that the nature and quality of the overall services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers were appropriate.
Fund Performance
In assessing advisory and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of each Fund, taking into account the importance of such performance to Fund shareholders. While the Board considered the performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board and Committee meetings during the year, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the Fund FACT sheets furnished in advance of the November meeting of the Independent Trustees. The FACT sheet prepared for each Fund included its investment performance compared to the Morningstar category median, Lipper category median, Selected Peer Group and Fund’s primary benchmark. The Board’s findings specific to each Fund’s performance are discussed under “Fund-by-Fund Analysis,” below.
187
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Economies of Scale
In considering the reasonableness of advisory fees, the Board also considered whether economies of scale will be realized by the Adviser as a Fund grows larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fee rates charged. In this regard, the Board noted any breakpoints in advisory fee schedules that resulted in a lower advisory fee because a Fund achieved sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints would inure to the benefit of the Adviser, except to the extent that these savings are passed through in the form of breakpoints on advisory fees that resulted in savings to the Funds. For a Fund that did not have breakpoint discounts on advisory fees, but did benefit from waivers to or reimbursements of advisory or other fees, the Board also considered the extent to which economies of scale could effectively be realized through such waivers, reimbursements, or expense reductions.
In evaluating economies of scale, the Independent Trustees considered a management report presented to them and also considered an evaluation and analysis presented to them on November 8, 2006 by an independent consultant regarding fee breakpoint arrangements.
Information about Services to Other Clients
The Board requested, and if received considered, information about the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers to other clients, including other registered investment companies and institutional accounts. When rates offered to other clients differed materially from those charged to the Funds, the Board considered the underlying rationale provided by the Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers for these differences. For the unaffiliated Sub-Advisers, the Board did not view this information as imperative to its deliberations because of the arms-length nature of the negotiations between the Adviser and unaffiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to sub-advisory fees. The Board also noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds and similar institutional clients may differ materially due to the different services and additional regulatory overlay associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds.
Fee Rates and Profitability
The Board reviewed and considered each contractual investment advisory fee rate, combined with the administrative fee rate, payable by each Fund to the Adviser. The Board also considered the contractual sub-advisory fee rates payable by the Adviser to each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In addition, the Board reviewed and took into account fee waivers and expense limitations applicable to the fees payable by the Funds.
The Board considered the fee structures of the Funds as they relate to the services provided under the Contracts, and the potential fall-out benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, and their respective affiliates, from their association with the Funds. For each Fund, the Board determined that the fees payable to the Adviser and Sub-Advisers are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform through the year ending November 30, 2007.
For each Fund, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits realized by the Adviser, which was prepared by Management in accordance with the allocation methodology (including assumptions) specified in the Methodology Guide. In analyzing the profitability of the Adviser in connection with its services to a Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser to that Fund. The Board also considered information that it requested and was provided by Management with respect to the profitability of service providers affiliated with the Adviser, as well as information provided by certain Sub-Advisers with respect to their profitability. In the case of non-affiliated Sub-Advisers, the Board gave less weight to profitability considerations, or did not view this data as imperative to its deliberations, given the arms-length nature of the relationship between the Adviser and these Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory fees.
The Board determined that it had requested and received sufficient information to gain a reasonable understanding regarding the Adviser’s and affiliated Sub-Advisers’ profitability. The Board also recognized that profitability analysis is not an exact science and there is no uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. In this context, the Board realized that Management’s calculations
188
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Funds’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Fund in determining profitability, and that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by Management nor capture Management’s entrepreneurial risk associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in today’s regulatory environment.
In their review of advisory fee rates, the Independent Trustees have, from time to time, requested the Adviser, and the Adviser has agreed, to implement remedial actions for certain Funds. These remedial actions have included, among others: reductions in 12b-1 fees payable by a Fund; changes to the Sub-Adviser or portfolio manager managing a Fund; and enhancements to the resources available to a Sub-Adviser when managing a Fund. The Independent Trustees have requested these adjustments primarily on the basis of: (a) a Fund’s performance, as compared to its Selected Peer Group; (b) the performance of a Fund, as compared to its benchmarks; or (c) a Fund’s expenses in relation to its Selected Peer Group.
Based on the information on revenues, costs, and profitability considered by the Board, after considering the factors described in this section, as well as any remedial actions requested by the Independent Trustees and agreed to by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the profits, if any, realized by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers were not excessive. In making its determinations, the Board considered that the Adviser had incentives to negotiate the most favorable fees from unaffiliated Sub-Advisers, and it based its conclusions on the reasonableness of the sub-advisory fees of the Sub-Advisers primarily on the factors described for each Fund below and, in the case of non-affiliated Sub-Advisers, in reliance on the arms-length nature of the negotiations between the Adviser and Sub-Advisers with respect to sub-advisory fees.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
The following paragraphs outline certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its November 2006 meeting in relation to renewing each Fund’s current Advisory Contract and its Sub-Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2007. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, the Fund’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index that appears in the Fund’s prospectus. Each Fund’s management fee and expense ratio were compared to the fees and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING Diversified International Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for ING Diversified International Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2006: (1) the Fund underperformed its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark for all periods presented; and (2) the Fund is ranked in the fourth quintile of its Morningstar category for all periods presented. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account that the Fund launched in December 2005, and therefore had a limited operating history for purposes of analyzing Fund performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for ING Diversified International Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under the Advisory Contract, taking into account that no advisory fees are payable under such contract, but that Fund indirectly bears the fees payable by the underlying Funds in which it invests; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee (inclusive of an advisory fee and a 0.10% administration fee) for the Fund is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Fund is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Fund’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Fund’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) the Fund was launched in December 2005, and it is reasonable to permit the Fund to establish a longer operating history for purposes of evaluating performance. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory Contract for the Fund for the year ending November 30, 2007. During this renewal
189
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Emerging Countries Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Emerging Countries Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2006: (1) the Fund underperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented, except it outperformed for the most recent calendar quarter; (2) the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, except it outperformed for the most recent calendar quarter and ten-year periods; and (3) the Fund is ranked in the first (highest) quintile of its Morningstar category for the most recent calendar quarter, in the third quintile of its Morningstar category for the ten-year period, and in the fifth (lowest) quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, one-, three and five-year periods.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) the Sub-Adviser was engaged to manage the Fund in March 2005, and therefore the Fund’s performance history under its management is limited; (2) Management’s analysis regarding the Sub-Adviser’s underperformance, including its representations that sector allocations and stock selection contributed negatively to performance; (3) Management’s representations that the Sub-Adviser had historically achieved reasonable performance for other investment portfolios utilizing the strategy employed by the Fund, and its expectation that employment of this strategy for the Fund will result in reasonable long-term performance; and (4) Management will continue to monitor, and the Board or the I/B/F IRC will periodically review, the Fund’s performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Emerging Countries Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with level fees that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee (inclusive of the advisory fee and 0.10% administration fee) for the Fund is above the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Fund is above the median and below the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
In analyzing this fee information, the Board noted that in January 2005, at the direction of the Board following the 2004 contract renewal process, Management reduced the Portfolio’s distribution fee.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Fund’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Fund’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) Management will continue to monitor, and the Board or the I/B/F IRC will periodically review, the Fund’s performance, and it is reasonable to permit the Sub-Adviser to continue to manage the Fund to meet Management’s expectation of more favorable longer-term performance; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund for the year ending November 30, 2007. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2006: (1) the Fund underperformed its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark for all periods presented; and (2) the Fund is ranked in the fifth (lowest) quintile of its Morningstar category for all periods presented.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management’s analysis of underperformance during certain periods, including its representations that an overweight in certain geographical sectors negatively affected performance; and (2) the Fund launched in December 2005, and therefore had a limited operating history for purposes of analyzing Fund performance.
190
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Fund; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee (inclusive of an advisory fee and a 0.10% administration fee) for the Fund is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Fund is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Fund’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Fund’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the Fund was launched in December 2005, and it is reasonable to permit the Fund to establish a longer operating history for purposes of evaluating performance. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund for the year ending November 30, 2007. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Foreign Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Foreign Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2006: (1) the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category median for the year-to-date and one-year periods, but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter; (2) the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for the most recent calendar quarter and the year-to-date periods, but outperformed for the one-year period; and (3) the Fund is ranked in the first (highest) quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date and one-year periods and in the fourth quintile of its Morningstar category for the most recent calendar quarter.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Foreign Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Fund; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee (inclusive of the advisory fee and 0.10% administration fee) for the Fund is above the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Fund is above the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Fund’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Fund’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Fund’s performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund for the year ending November 30, 2007. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Global Bond Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Global Bond Fund, the Board considered that the Fund was launched on June 30, 2006 and had no operating history as of June 30, 2006.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Global Bond Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with level fees that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be

borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee for the Fund (inclusive of the advisory fee and a 0.10% administration fee) is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Fund is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Fund’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Fund’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Fund was launched in June 2006, and it is reasonable to permit the Fund to establish an operating history sufficient to appropriately evaluate performance; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund for the year ending November 30, 2007. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Global Equity Dividend Fund

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS FOR NEW FUNDS
Section 15 of the 1940 mandates that, when a Fund enters into a new advisory or sub-advisory arrangement, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, must approve the new Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts with respect to the Fund. During 2006, the following Funds (the “New Funds”) were first offered to the public, and the Board approved the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for these Funds prior their launch: ING Disciplined International SmallCap Fund and ING International Value Opportunities Fund.
The Board’s consideration of the new advisory and sub-advisory arrangements related to the launch of each of the New Funds is discussed below. In considering the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the New Funds, the Board members considered a number of factors they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates, their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment, to be relevant. Based on these considerations, the Board determined to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Funds.
ING Disciplined International SmallCap Fund
The Board considered whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Disciplined International Small Cap Fund at an in-person meeting held on November 9, 2006. In making its determinations with respect to such approvals, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether each agreement, and the proposed policies and procedures for the Fund, should be approved.
The materials provided to the Board in support of ING Disciplined International Small Cap Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory arrangements included the following: (1) a memorandum presenting Management’s rationale for requesting the launch of the Fund that discusses, among other things, its Sub-Adviser’s experience and expertise in the management of quantitative, enhanced-index strategies; (2) information about the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and anticipated portfolio characteristics; (3) FACT sheets for the Fund that compare the Fund’s proposed fee structure to its comparable Selected Peer Group and its Morningstar category median; (4) responses from the Adviser and the Fund’s Sub-Adviser to questions posed by K&L Gates, on behalf of the Independent Trustees; (5) supporting documentation, including copies of the forms of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund; and (6) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation. In addition, the Board considered the information provided periodically throughout the year in presentations to the Board by the Adviser in the context of its oversight of other sub-advisers managing funds in the ING Funds complex, and by the
199
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Sub-Adviser in connection with its management of other funds in the ING Funds complex.
At the November 2006 meeting, the Board took into account that the Fund would be subject to the standard policies and procedures of ING Mutual Funds previously approved by the Board for other series of ING Mutual Funds and approved in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also noted that, in managing the Fund, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser each would be subject to procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that had been previously approved by the Board in connection with other funds in the ING Funds complex.
The Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Contract on behalf of the Fund took into account several factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the proposed Advisory Contract; (2) the Adviser’s experience as a manager-of-managers overseeing sub-advisers to other Funds; (3) the Adviser’s strength and reputation within the industry; (4) the fairness of the compensation under the proposed Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided to the Fund and taking into account the sub-advisory fees payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser; (5) the costs for the services to be provided by the Adviser, including that the advisory contract has level fees that do not include breakpoint discounts; (6) the pricing structure (including the estimated expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, including that: (a) the proposed management fee (inclusive of the advisory fee and a 0.10% administration fee) for the Fund is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in the Fund’s Selected Peer Group, and (b) the estimated expense ratio for the Fund is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in the Fund’s Selected Peer Group; (7) the projected profitability of the Adviser when sub-advisory fees payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser are taken into account; (8) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of the Adviser, including its management team’s expertise in the management of other Funds; (9) the Adviser’s compliance capabilities, as demonstrated by, among other things, its policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws, which had previously been approved by the Board in connection with their oversight of other funds in the ING Funds complex; (10) the information that had been provided by the Adviser at regular Board meetings, and in anticipation of the November 2006 meeting, with respect to its capabilities as a manager-of-managers; and (11) “fall-out benefits” to the Adviser and its affiliates that were anticipated to arise from the Adviser’s management of the Fund.
In reviewing the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract, the Board considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the Adviser’s view of the Sub-Adviser’s capabilities in managing in the quantitative, small-capitalization strategy to be employed by the Fund; (2) Management’s representations that while the Fund represents a new investment discipline for the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser has proven expertise with respect to other quantitative products; (3) the Sub-Adviser’s strength and reputation in the industry; (4) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract; (5) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of the Sub-Adviser and its fit among the stable of managers in the ING Funds line-up; (6) the fairness of the compensation under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided by and the projected profitability of the Sub-Adviser; (7) the costs for the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser, including that the Sub-Advisory Contract would have level fees that do not include breakpoints; (8) the Sub-Adviser’s operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the federal securities laws, which had previously been approved by the Board as part of its oversight of other funds in the ING Funds complex; (9) the Sub-Adviser’s financial condition; (10) the appropriateness of the selection of the Sub-Adviser in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objective; and (11) the Sub-Adviser’s Code of Ethics, which has previously been approved for other ING Funds, and related procedures for complying with that Code.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Fund’s proposed management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Fund’s estimated expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors

considered by the Board; and (4) each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program, with this conclusion based upon the Board’s previous and ongoing review of the compliance program. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund. During its deliberations, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING International Value Opportunities Fund
The Board considered whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING International Value Opportunities Fund at an in-person meeting held on January 11, 2007. In making its determinations with respect to such approvals, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether each agreement, and the proposed policies and procedures for the Fund, should be approved.
The materials provided to the Board in support of the advisory and sub-advisory arrangements included the following: (1) a memorandum presenting Management’s rationale for requesting the launch of the Fund that discusses, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s experience and expertise in the management in the value and global investment mandates; (2) information about the Fund’s proposed investment objective and strategies and anticipated portfolio characteristics; (3) FACT sheets for the Fund that compare the Fund’s proposed fee structure to its comparable Selected Peer Group and its Morningstar category median; (4) responses from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser to questions posed by K&L Gates on behalf of the Independent Trustees; (5) supporting documentation, including copies of the forms of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund; and (6) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation. In addition, the Board considered the information provided periodically throughout the year in presentations to the Board by the Adviser in the context of the Adviser’s oversight of other sub-advisers managing other funds in the ING Funds complex, and by the Sub-Adviser in connection with its management of other funds in the ING Funds complex.
At the January 2007 meeting, the Board considered that the Fund would be subject to the standard policies and procedures of ING Mutual Funds previously approved by the Board for other series of ING Mutual Funds and approved in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also noted that, in managing the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser each would be subject to procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that had been previously approved by the Board in connection with other funds in the ING Funds complex.
The Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Contract on behalf of the Fund took into account several factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the proposed Advisory Contract; (2) the Adviser’s experience as a manager-of-managers overseeing sub-advisers to other funds within the ING Funds complex; (3) the Adviser’s strength and reputation within the industry; (4) the fairness of the compensation under the proposed Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided to the Fund and taking into account the sub-advisory fees payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser; (5) the costs for the services to be provided by the Adviser, including that the proposed advisory fee would be subject to breakpoint discounts, which would result in a lower advisory fee in the future when the Fund achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount; (6) the pricing structure (including the estimated expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, including that: (a) the proposed management fee (inclusive of the advisory fee and a 0.10% administration fee) for the Fund is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in the Fund’s Selected Peer Group, and (b) the Fund’s estimated expense ratio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in the Fund’s Selected Peer Group; (7) the projected profitability of the Adviser when sub-advisory fees payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser are taken into account; (8) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of the Adviser, including its management team’s expertise in the management of other Funds; (9) the Adviser’s compliance capabilities, as demonstrated by, among other things, its policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws, which had previously been approved by the Board in connection with their oversight of other funds in the ING Funds complex; (10) the information that had been provided by the

Adviser at regular Board meetings, and in anticipation of the January 2007 meeting, with respect to its capabilities as a manager-of-managers; and (11) “fall-out benefits” to the Adviser and its affiliates that were anticipated to arise from the Adviser’s management of the Fund.
In reviewing the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract, the Board considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the Adviser’s view of the Sub-Adviser’s capabilities in managing in the strategy to be employed by the Fund; (2) Management’s representations that, while the Fund represents a new investment discipline for the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser’s value portfolio management team’s expertise with respect to other investment products provides a solid foundation for recommending the launch of the Fund; (3) the Sub-Adviser’s strength and reputation in the industry; (4) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract; (5) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of the Sub-Adviser and its fit among the stable of managers in the ING Funds line-up; (6) the fairness of the compensation under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided by and the projected profitability of the Sub-Adviser as the Fund’s sub-adviser; (7) the costs for the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser, including that it would charge a sub-advisory fee with breakpoints, and that the sub-advisory fee would be payable out of the Adviser’s advisory fee and, therefore, these breakpoint discounts would inure to the benefit of the Adviser; (8) the Sub-Adviser’s operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the federal securities laws, which had previously been approved by the Board as part of its oversight of other funds in the ING Funds complex; (9) the Sub-Adviser’s financial condition; (10) the appropriateness of the selection of the Sub-Adviser in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objective; and (11) the Sub-Adviser’s Code of Ethics, which has previously been approved for other ING Funds, and related procedures for complying with that Code.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Fund’s proposed management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Fund’s estimated expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program, with this conclusion based upon the Board’s previous and ongoing review of the compliance program. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund. During its deliberations, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
