PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
October witnessed events reminiscent of times past for investors and baseball fans alike. The New York Yankees returned to the World Series after a six-year hiatus, and double-digit unemployment returned to the United States after a 26-year break. New Yorkers may have regarded the Yankees’ championship as a restoration of order to the world, but investors found little relief as unemployment rose to 10.2%.(1) Nevertheless, the economy did not collapse and the markets did not melt down. Although higher unemployment is not good news, most recognize that it represents a lagging effect of the recession, and as such is likely to persist even after the economy has swung into recovery.
On the other hand, fund investors seem still to be focusing more on safety than appreciation potential. Year-to-date, investors have moved large amounts out of money market funds. They have been adding significantly to bond funds, but disinvesting from stock funds.(2)
Volatile equity markets over the past year and a half have led many investors to seek refuge in fixed income investments, a move that may have made sense when the highest priority was to avoid losses. Despite October’s news, it seems like a good time to start thinking longer term again; this may be an opportunity for investors to rethink their balance between potential risk and potential return.
Of course, only you and your financial advisor can determine what is best for your particular situation, so we encourage you to discuss these points thoroughly with your advisor before taking any action in your portfolio.
Thank you for your continued confidence in ING Funds. We look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,
Shaun P. Mathews
President and Chief Executive Officer

Market Perspective: Year Ended October 31, 2009
Global equities in the form of the MSCI World® Index(1) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends (“MSCI” for regions discussed below), returned 18.5% in the second half of the fiscal year and 11.6% for the entire fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. (The MSCI World® Index returned 18.42% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, measured in U.S. dollars.) By the end of September equities had rallied 54% from the March 9th low point, but in increasingly nervous conditions pulled back in October. In currencies, the dollar, perhaps the new funding currency for carry trades because of very low dollar interest rates, resumed a weakening trend, falling 10.7% against the euro in the second half of the fiscal year, 10.9% against the pound and 6.1% against the yen. For the entire fiscal year, dollar losses were 11.8%, 0.3% and 7.4% against the euro, pound and yen, respectively.
From its earliest days in mid-March, the resurgence of risky asset classes like equities encountered skeptics. It was based they said, not on good economic news but news that was merely less awful. Banks’ new-found earnings relied on extraordinarily low interest rates to depositors and “special” items. The U.S. government’s willingness to incur $1.75 trillion in additional debt to bail out banks, insurers, auto companies and people who bought housing beyond their means, while the Federal Reserve printed money to buy the debt and keep interest rates down, would have its day of inflationary reckoning.
But the believers would have none of it. Conditions don’t go from bad to good in one step, they said. The news has to get less bad first. The richest harvest must start with a few green shoots in an empty field. We heard about “green shoots” all spring.
However described, the news on which markets advanced was on balance improving, albeit weakly and erratically.
In housing, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”)/Case-Shiller National U.S. Home Price Index(2) of house prices in 20 cities sank a record 19% year-over-year in January. But from there the declines moderated to 11.3% in the most recent report. The housing market became heavily influenced by an $8,000 government tax credit to first-time home buyers. But it would expire on November 30, 2009*, and while existing home sales were still surging as our fiscal year ended, new homes sales fell after three months of gain.
After a decline in first quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) of 5.5% annualized, the contraction for the second quarter was just 0.7% annualized and after four straight falls, the first estimate of third quarter GDP growth was 3.5%.
A “Cash-for-Clunkers” program under which the U.S. government offered to subsidize the trade in of old vehicles for newer, more efficient models was vigorously taken up. Retail sales and industrial production were boosted. Auto companies re-opened production lines.
But so much of the outlook depended on jobs. The September employment report showed payroll cuts at little more than one third of the January level. But cuts spiked up again in the October report and the unemployment rate rose to a 26-year high 9.8% as of September 30, 2009. The average work week matched the lowest since records began in 1964. Wage growth remained insipid. Increasingly commentators asked what kind of real recovery could take place under these conditions and as the various government support programs expired.
In fixed income markets, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(3) of investment grade bonds returned 5.61% for the second half of the fiscal year and 13.62% for the entire fiscal year. But within this figure the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Index(4) only gained 0.81% in the second half of the fiscal year and 6.33% for the entire fiscal year, as greater risk appetite was reinforced by concerns about massive government borrowing. Corporate investment grade bonds performed much better and high yield bonds, represented by the Barclays Capital High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index(5), did best of all: up 27.72% in the second half of the fiscal year and 48.66% for the entire fiscal year.
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500®”) Index(6) including dividends, returned 20.0% in the second half of the fiscal year and 9.8% for the entire fiscal year, led by financials and technology. Profits for S&P 500® companies suffered their eighth straight quarter of decline in the second quarter and by the end of September the price to earnings (“P/E”) ratio of the S&P 500® Index, based on operating earnings in the trailing four quarters, was the highest since the first half of 2002. Volatility picked up in October and when on October 30th it was announced that consumer spending had fallen with

incomes flat, the market dropped more than 2%, leading to a monthly fall for the first month in eight.
In international markets, referring to MSCI indices in local currencies with net reinvested dividends, the MSCI Japan® Index(7) rose 7.2% in the second half of the fiscal year and 4.7% for the entire fiscal year, but weakened in the last two months. A rise in GDP of 2.3% annualized was due to net exports and government stimulus. Domestic demand was still in the doldrums and deflation had again taken hold at record levels. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(8) advanced 19.2% in the second half of the fiscal year and 11.8% for the entire fiscal year. After a drop in GDP of 2.5% in the first quarter, second quarter GDP barely fell and actually rose in France and Germany. Prices continued to fall slightly, and unemployment edged up to 9.6%. Banks were still not lending however: M3** growth reached a record low in September. Yet confidence measures, from investor to business to consumer, continued to advance. The MSCI UK® Index(9) rose 21.3% in the second half of the fiscal year and 20.9% for the entire fiscal year. GDP fell for the sixth consecutive quarter and stood 5.9% below the level one year earlier. Yet house prices were by all accounts edging back up again. Purchasing managers’ indices were in or near expansion territory. And in September, consumer confidence rose by the most since 1995.

ING Global Equity Dividend Fund
Portfolio Managers’ Report
Country Allocation
as of October 31, 2009
(as a percent of net assets)
as of October 31, 2009
(as a percent of net assets)
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
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, Moudy El Khodr, Senior Investment Manager Equities, and Kris Hermie, CFA, Senior Investment Manager of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 10.41%, including a return of capital of $0.02 per share, compared to the MSCI World Indexsm(1), which returned 18.42% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Over the year, the recovery scenario, supported by substantial stimulus policies around the world, pushed the markets to higher levels. The problems in the financials sector started to ease as several steps were taken at different levels to help financials sector companies stabilize their balance sheets and support their liquidity needs. With the huge quantitative easing undertaken by many central banks, the economy jumped from recession to an expansionary mode during this period.
The Fund’s focus on dividends hurt performance during the year, as the market strongly favored troubled or distressed companies, which mostly no longer paid dividends. Security selection and sector allocation both detracted from results. The most significant detractors were security selection and underweights in the financial and information technology sectors. The greatest contributions to results came from security selection in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors, though these effects were not enough to offset the detractors.
The losses among financials came from the underweight but also from our exposure. We were exposed to dividend paying financial companies that were less distressed than their peers. These stocks underperformed their sector as troubled companies had a brighter rally in light of the rescue plans and the recovery.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our outlook for the Fund remains positive. We believe that, after the rally of the last several months, investors should pay more attention to the dividend theme in a market caught between a rock and a hard place. In our view, a potentially low-return environment would favor the resurgence of dividend investing. We believe the current stage in the style cycle is more favorable for dividend investing, as are the recovery and boom phases when earnings growth translates into dividend growth. We continue to look for individual stocks to exploit what we believe are any temporary undervaluations that may take place.

(as a percent of net assets)
as of October 31, 2009
(as a percent of net assets)
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
ING Global Natural Resources Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to attain long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by David Powers and Christopher Corapi*, Portfolio Managers, both of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 24.38% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) (“S&P 500® Index”) and the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) North American Natural Resources Sector Index(2) which returned 9.80% and 22.75%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: At the beginning of the reporting period, natural resources companies were declining along with the rest of the market due to concerns over falling commodity prices and overall global demand destruction. Since reaching a low on March 6, the equity market has significantly recovered, as policy moves from the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury renewed hopes of a global economic recovery. Better than expected earnings estimates and positive economic data further fueled upward momentum. This led to an even stronger recovery in natural resources equities, due to their cyclical nature and a rebound in commodity prices. Within energy, stocks with high sensitivity to commodity prices — such as drillers, coal, and equipment and storage companies — exhibited the strongest results. Within materials, precious metals, gold and diversified metals and mining were the best performing sub-sectors.
The Fund’s outperformance was due largely to its holdings within the materials sector. In particular, our holdings within gold, diversified metals and mining and aluminum aided results. Within diversified metals and mining, Rio Tinto PLC ADR and BHP Billiton Ltd. ADR were among the top performers. We continue to have an overweight position in the diversified metals and mining stocks as we believe they offer significant leverage to a recovering global economy. Within energy, our holdings within the oil and gas storage and transportation sub-sector helped relative returns. We also benefited from underweighting or not having exposure to some of the lackluster performers during this period including ConocoPhillips and Weatherford International, Inc.
Our small and mid cap positions within the exploration and production industry, including W&T Offshore, Inc. (“W&T Offshore”), Stone Energy Corp. (“Stone Energy”) and Cimarex Energy Co. (“Cimarex”), detracted from results during this period. These companies were plagued by rising costs and larger than expected reserve write-downs due to falling oil prices at the beginning of the year. As a result of deteriorating fundamentals, we decided to exit the Fund’s positions in W&T Offshore and Stone Energy. We continue to like Cimarex, for what we believe to be the upside potential of its reserve base due to a recent exploration of a Woodford Shale position. Finally, our underexposure to Teck Resources Ltd., a mid sized, lower quality diversified metal and mining company, also detracted from relative results during the period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to believe the long-term case for commodities remains intact; and believe it will be driven by industrialization and urbanization trends in emerging economies, and the need for infrastructure spending globally. We believe that, as the global economy gradually improves and growth resumes, demand for natural resources will continue to rebound. We expect finite supplies of resources to put further upward pressure on commodity prices, leading to solid return potential for this asset class going forward.

Country Allocation
as of October 31, 2009
(as a percent of net assets)
as of October 31, 2009
(as a percent of net assets)
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
ING Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. 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, of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 17.37%, including a return of capital of $0.09 per share, compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Developed Property Index(1), which returned 22.11% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The past twelve months has been a period of positive total returns for global real estate stocks, as improving capital market conditions and improving economic conditions have benefited investors. Governments and Central Banks responded quickly and aggressively to credit issues in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, providing access to significant capital support for financial institutions as well as interest rate cuts. The resulting impact is becoming evident via recent economic reports, including second quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) data that surpassed expectations, which has led to positive revisions to future growth estimates and an acknowledgment that the recession, which impacted many of the world’s developed economies, may have ended. The Asia-Pacific property stocks fared the best over the past twelve months, followed by the European region and Americas.
Within the Asia-Pacific region, performance was driven by the strength of the Singapore and Hong Kong markets. Economic growth in Asia has been robust. China’s economic growth accelerated to an 8.9% rate year-on-year versus 6.1% and 7.9% during the first two quarters of 2009, respectively. Singapore revised its GDP growth forecast range for 2009 to −2.0% to −2.5% from the previous forecast range of −4% to −6%. The notable laggard in the region has been Japan, where property markets were up by a modest 9% during the past twelve months.
Within the European region, the return differential between countries has been quite substantial, ranging from a positive return posted by Austria, the best-performing market during the period, to a negative return posted by Spain, the poorest-performing market during the period. On whole, the countries which fared the best in the current environment were the countries in the Benelux region (the Benelux region is a union in Western Europe that comprises three neighboring countries — Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg) as well as Germany and France; the countries which fared the worst were in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe as well as the U.K.
Within the North American region, U.S. property stocks were flat during the period while Canadian property companies posted an increase.
While absolute returns were strong during the period, the Fund lagged its benchmark as the result of both stock selection and asset allocation decisions. Stock selection, which accounted for approximately half of the period’s underperformance, was mixed as positive stock selection in the Americas and the U.K. was more than offset by sub-par stock selection in the Asia-Pacific region, primarily in Japan, Australia and Singapore. Country allocation decisions hurt returns as an average underweight to the outperforming Asia-Pacific and European regions, along with an overweight to the underperforming Americas all detracted from relative performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund continues to maintain a bias toward, what we believe are, high-quality companies. We remain overweight sectors and geographies offering long-term leases and high percentages of earnings from recurring sources (primarily contract lease rental income). We prefer companies that we believe offer more transparency, strong balance sheets and good, experienced management teams.
We believe global property companies are generally fairly valued. We estimate the average global property company is trading in-line with our internal estimate of inherent private real estate market value. In our opinion, the rationale for a global listed property strategy remains very much intact, including diversification via low long-term correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, reasonable valuations and the continued, gradual spread of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure globally. In our view, through an average 4% to 5% dividend yield, plus fundamentals which we believe are bottoming and access to the capital markets, global property stocks should be well-positioned to deliver modestly attractive total returns over the next several years.

ING Global Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by David B. Iben, CFA, Portfolio Manager of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC (“Tradewinds”) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 55.88% compared to the MSCI All Country World Indexsm(1) (“MSCI ACWI”) which returned 22.65% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund returned positive absolute returns during the twelve month period ended October 31, 2009, and outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Indexsm.
Investors continued to gain confidence that the worst of the financial crisis had passed and consequently, bid up shares of financials companies, especially towards the end of the reporting period. The financial sector was the fourth-best performing sector in the benchmark for the annual period, but was the best contributor in third quarter of 2009. The Fund’s financial holdings contributed to performance, although it maintained an underweight position in the financials sector. Furthermore, our positions in consumer discretionary companies hurt relative returns, while our positions in the materials and energy sectors added most to relative performance, even though the materials sector was also the benchmark’s top performing sector for the period.
In the consumer staples sector, Marine Harvest was the Fund’s largest contributor to performance during the period. Marine Harvest is a fully integrated, Norwegian-based salmon fish farming company with a 25 percent global market share and operations in twenty countries. Strong share performance was due in part to tight salmon supply and robust demand, and has led to strong European salmon prices.
The Fund maintained its overweight position in the materials sector. Gold prices rose above the $1,000-an-ounce mark in the third quarter of 2009 amid investor concerns about inflation and the weakness of the dollar. Most gold companies in the Fund experienced share price appreciation as a result, and several positions were among the top contributors to performance during the reporting period.
The Fund’s worst detractor from performance during the period was consumer discretionary sector holding Sekisui House Ltd. The company undertakes design, execution, construction contracting and supervision of buildings or structures and manufacture, sale and purchase of construction materials. The company revised down its full year operating profit estimates in the third quarter due to weaker than expected housing statistics. In addition, worsening deflationary trends in Japan are causing concerns that the company may have to write down its inventory of property for redevelopment. There are also fears that the new government will introduce policies which could hurt future housing demand.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe that the markets will continue to be volatile as a recovery which is slower than past economic recoveries may no longer be greeted with enthusiasm. In this environment, investors are advised to protect their portfolio from the threat of a loss of purchasing power (driven by inflation). We continue to believe that all investors should maintain a meaningful allocation in hard assets, gold and global equities especially in light of low nominal returns (and negative real returns) on cash equivalents and sovereign bonds. We remain attracted to reserve-rich resource companies that are trading at below what we perceive to be their intrinsic value and select healthcare companies have recently become very attractive, particularly in the U.S. as the healthcare debate rages. We expect common stocks to be volatile and unsettling at times but should reward patient, long-term investors.

ING Asia-Pacific Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Investment Officer, CFA and Steven D. Burton, Managing Director, CFA, both of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 29.71% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Asia-Pacific Property Index(1) which returned 41.14% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The past twelve months has been a period of positive total returns for Asia-Pacific real estate stocks, as improving capital market conditions and improving economic conditions have benefited investors. Governments and Central Banks responded quickly and aggressively to credit issues in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, providing access to significant capital support for financial institutions as well as interest rate cuts. The resulting impact is becoming evident via recent economic reports, including second quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) data that surpassed expectations, which has led to positive revisions to future growth estimates and an acknowledgment that the recession, which impacted many of the world’s developed economies, may have ended.
Within the region, performance was driven by the strength of the Singapore and Hong Kong markets. Economic growth in Asia has been robust. China’s economic growth accelerated to an 8.9% rate year-on-year versus 6.1% and 7.9% during the first two quarters of 2009, respectively. Singapore revised its GDP growth forecast range for 2009 to −2.0% to −2.5% from the previous forecast range of −4% to −6%. The notable laggard in the region has been Japan, where property markets were up modestly during the past twelve months.
While absolute returns were strong during the period, the Fund lagged its benchmark primarily as the result of stock selection. Although stock selection decisions in Hong Kong were positive, the benefit was more than offset by the underperformance of Fund holdings in Japan, Australia and Singapore. Country allocation decisions hurt returns as an underweight to the outperforming Singapore market constituted the majority of the relative shortfall during the period, overshadowing the positive contributions of an overweight to the outperforming Hong Kong market as well as an underweight to the underperforming Japanese market.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund continues to maintain a bias toward, what we believe are, high-quality companies. We remain overweight sectors and geographies offering long-term leases and high percentages of earnings from recurring sources (primarily contract lease rental income). We prefer companies that we believe offer more transparency, strong balance sheets and good, experienced management teams.
We believe Asia-Pacific property companies generally remain fairly valued and many of the companies within the region trade at discounts to our internal estimate of inherent private real estate market value.
In our opinion the rationale for an Asia-Pacific listed property strategy remains very much intact, including the opportunity for diversification in the region, access to solid long-term underlying property fundamentals and the continued expansion of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure throughout the region.

ING Emerging Countries Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Jan-Wim Derks, Michael Bootsma and Roberto Lampl, Portfolio Managers of ING Investment Management Advisors, B.V. (“IIMA”) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 52.02%, including a return of capital of $0.02 per share, compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Indexsm(1) (“MSCI EM Indexsm”), which returned 64.13% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The start of the reporting period almost coincided with the 2008 trough of the benchmark. As the fiscal year began, the markets already had corrected an unprecedented 60% in response to deteriorating global economic and financial conditions. An extremely pessimistic outlook regarding the global economy, and the troubling state of the financial sector in the United States and Europe, kept investors paralyzed. What followed was a four-month period of considerable volatility, which culminated in another market bottom in early March 2009.
At that point, the markets staged an unheard-of rally in response to globally coordinated stimulus measures, loose monetary policies and strong growth in China. The MSCI EM Indexsm doubled over the March-October 2009 period, and recovered the majority of last year’s losses. Emerging markets outperformed developed markets of the U.S., Europe and Japan by wide margins.
The Fund lagged the benchmark during the reporting period. Particularly in March, when the market rally started, the Fund was too defensively positioned in sectors with strong earnings visibility and steady cash flows, such as consumer staples, telecommunications and healthcare.
Investors became much more opportunity driven and started pushing up cyclical sectors like consumer discretionary, materials and information technology, sectors in which the Fund held underweight positions. These underweights, together with a significant cash position, were the main reasons why the Fund underperformed. However, the Fund reversed course quickly to move into more cyclical sectors; it also added exposure to more export-oriented countries in Asia that were expected to benefit in the early phases of an economic recovery. Stock selection also detracted from results for the reporting period.
In recent months, the Fund has focused on markets that tend to benefit from abundant global liquidity and an increase in risk appetite, for example, Hungary, Poland, Russia and Turkey.
Current Strategy and Outlook: From a country perspective, the Fund has a slightly offensive positioning, with overweights in markets that tend to benefit from a high level of risk appetite (Hungary, Poland, Russia and Turkey) and strong commodity prices (Brazil, Indonesia and India). The largest overweight country is China. Outstanding economic growth coupled with good earnings perspectives and a stable currency offer attractive upside potential. At a sector level, the biggest positive active positions are in consumer discretionary, energy and financials. The Fund is at its maximum allowed underweight of telecom services and utilities, two defensive sectors that we believe will stay behind in the current market environment.
In recent months, we have increased the Fund’s number of mid cap stocks, selecting companies that we believe will show above-average earnings growth compared to larger capitalization companies.
In our opinion, the emerging markets still have potential to outperform the developed markets. Four factors underpin our positive view. First, we believe the financial sector in emerging markets is much healthier than in developed markets; we believe this will help economic growth recover faster. Second, strong growth in China and India will keep upward pressure on commodity prices. This is supportive for emerging markets, which on balance are net commodity exporters. Third, global liquidity is abundant and interest rates are low, which is beneficial to higher yielding, risky asset classes like emerging markets. Fourth, on a forward earnings basis, emerging markets are still cheaper than developed markets.

ING European Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Investment Officer, CFA and Steven D. Burton, Managing Director, CFA of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 36.84% compared to the Standard & Poor’s Europe Property Index(1) (“S&P Europe Property Index”), which returned 33.46% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The past twelve months has been a period of positive total returns for European real estate stocks, as improving capital market conditions and improving economic conditions have benefited investors. Governments and Central Banks responded quickly and aggressively to credit issues in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, providing access to significant capital support for financial institutions as well as interest rate cuts. The resulting impact is becoming evident via recent economic reports, including second quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) data that surpassed expectations, which has led to positive revisions to future growth estimates and an acknowledgment that the recession, which impacted many of the world’s developed economies, may have ended.
Within the region, the return differential between countries has been quite substantial, ranging from a positive return posted by Austria, the best-performing market during the period, to a negative return posted by Spain, the poorest-performing market during the period. On whole, the countries which fared the best in the current environment were the countries in the Benelux region (the Benelux region is a union in Western Europe that comprises three neighboring countries — Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg) as well as Germany and France; the countries which fared the worst were in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe as well as the U.K.
In addition to strong absolute returns, the Fund outperformed the benchmark for the period by more than 300 basis points as the result of superior stock selection and most country allocation decisions. Stock selection contributed the majority of relative outperformance and was especially strong in the U.K., led by overweight positions to Safestore and Derwent London. Stock selection was also positive in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany and France during the period. Selective country allocation decisions added value through overweights to outperforming property markets in France and the Netherlands, along with underweights to underperforming property markets in Spain, Italy and Greece. An underweight to the outperforming Austrian market detracted from relative performance during the period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund continues to maintain a bias toward, what we believe are, high-quality companies. We remain overweight sectors and geographies offering long-term leases and high percentages of earnings from recurring sources (primarily contract lease rental income). We prefer companies that we believe offer more transparency, strong balance sheets and good, experienced management teams.
We believe European property companies are generally fairly valued. We estimate that U.K. property companies now trade at a modest premium to our internal estimate of inherent private real estate market value, which we believe is warranted as the U.K. listed property companies own higher-quality properties, on average. On the Continent, we estimate that companies are trading at a slight discount to inherent real estate value.
In our opinion, the investment rationale for a European listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, attractive valuations and the gradual spread of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure to an increased number of countries.

ING Foreign Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is managed by Rudolph-Riad Younes, CFA Managing Director and Head of International Equity and Richard Pell, Chief Investment and Chief Executive Officer, both of Artio Global Management LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 14.38% compared to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Indexsm(1) (“MSCI ACWI (ex-US)”), which returned 34.10% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The twelve months ended October 31, 2009 marked a dramatic period of extremes for equity investors. After suffering severe market disruptions in the beginning of the period, an environment which initially centered on risk aversion quickly shifted toward risk taking amid massive stimulus programs by governments worldwide. The market’s abrupt move upward began in early March and was of a magnitude not witnessed in decades. It proved especially challenging to navigate through these historic inflection points within international equity markets.
During the reporting period, the Fund underperformed its benchmark. Our defensive positioning, which was initially supportive to relative results, led to the underperformance. In early March, negative sentiment previously targeted at banks and other areas quickly began to turn hopeful. A sudden, sharp move upward in financial companies, emerging markets and more cyclical industries led us to underperform given our underweight to and stock selection within many of these sectors as well as a focus on companies we deemed as having higher-quality balance sheets. As fundamentals improved, we reduced the defensive positioning between the Fund and the benchmark but the speed and extent that markets turned left a negative imprint on relative results.
The Fund’s underweight to Latin America (notably Brazil) and emerging Asia negatively impacted performance. Additionally, positions held in Central and Eastern European banks detracted from performance. An avoidance of developed market financial firms at the start of the reporting period also proved costly. Stock selection had a negative impact in most sectors, especially financials. On a positive note, stock selection within the materials sector, particularly in metals and mining holdings in Australia, Canada and the UK, contributed to results amid expectations that government stimulus efforts would lead to increased demand for raw materials. Finally, the position held in cash equivalents hurt returns.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We have transitioned the Fund to take advantage of sectors and companies which we believe may benefit from the dynamics unfolding in the New World versus Old World. This has led us to favor companies and countries linked to the commodity/materials sector amid continued stimulus spending in the emerging markets. We also favor industrial companies such as airports and seaports which we have long viewed as quasi-monopolies and the cement industry.
Headwinds which plagued the financial sector appear to have moderated partially as a result of efforts to increase the overall level of capital in the system. Our investments in the industry have generally been in larger companies across markets, affording us the opportunity to reposition quickly if necessary.
In the long-term, we see emerging Asia and Latin America closely linked to global imbalances (i.e. US overspending), which we believe creates market vulnerabilities. However, these regions’ cyclicality may support investments. In China, we increased the banking sector weighting to potentially benefit from a recovery of the local economy and attractive valuations. The Chinese government is taking steps to move from an export-oriented economy to a consumer-driven model, but this process is expected to take years.

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 of ING Investment Management Asia/Pacific (Hong Kong) Limited — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 67.10% compared to the MSCI All Countries Golden Dragon Index(1), which returned 66.85% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: China was the best performer during the Fund’s fiscal year, as the MSCI China® Index gained 82.2% in U.S.-dollar terms. The central government of China responded to the global credit crisis by actively promoting new bank lending to stimulate domestic credit demand. New loans extended reached 9.5 trillion renminbi ($1.4 trillion U.S.) for the year ended October 31. As a result, the economy recovered gradually with gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth of 8.9% year-over-year.
Industrial production in China also climbed significantly from 5.4% year-over-year growth in November 2008 to 16.1% in October 2009. Due to weak external demand, exports fell significantly, to (26.4)% year-over-year in May 2009, but recovered to (13.8)% year-over-year in October 2009. To divert growth from the export sector to domestic consumption, the Chinese government launched various subsidy policies from the autos sector to appliances. As a result, domestic retail sales grew 15.3% year-over-year in the first 10 months of 2009.
In the earlier part of the year, the Fund’s overweights in China and Hong Kong real estate benefited returns as property prices rebounded. Overweights in certain materials stocks also contributed to results. Stock selection in other higher beta sectors such as information technology and industrials also helped results as those sectors outperformed in the rising market.
The Fund’s positions in defensive sectors such as telecommunications services and utilities hurt results for the period. An overweight in telecommunications, combined with strongly negative stock selection, represented the most significant drag on performance. An underweight in utilities was a positive, but was offset by negative stock selection. The Fund’s underweight of consumer discretionary stocks also hurt results for the period.
The stocks that made the greatest contributions to return over the period were overweights in China Overseas Land and Investment Ltd. and Taiwan Fertilizer Co. Ltd. Overweights in Guangzhou R&F Properties Co. Ltd. and Agile Property Holdings Ltd., helped as the Chinese property sector rebounded strongly in the first half of the year. Overweights in Taiwan Cement Corp. and Far Eastern New Century Corp. also helped as the materials sector benefited from global economic stimulus.
The most significant detractors from results were underweights in MediaTek, Inc. (information technology) and Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. (industrials). Other detractors included underweights of China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. (telecommunications services), Cathay Financial Holding Co. Ltd. (financials) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (information technology).
Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, the macroeconomic recovery in China is picking up steam. Despite market concerns, we believe bank lending and money supply data continue to show strong support for liquidity conditions. Thanks to its strong fiscal position and healthy household sector, we believe China’s economic outlook and stock market potential are still superior to the rest of the world. On the negative side, inflation could accelerate, which could lead to tightening measures such as increased reserve ratios or interest rate hikes.
Nevertheless, we believe the valuations of Chinese stocks are still not excessive and the strong fundamentals warrant a premium to other developed markets. In Taiwan, the political situation should continue to improve with both sides of the strait taking a more pragmatic view on promoting economic growth in Taiwan. We believe the longer-term outlook of the Taiwan asset play remains positive with such improvement in the political situation.

ING Index Plus International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to outperform the total return performance of the MSCI 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 year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 27.40% compared to the MSCI EAFE® Index, which returned 27.71% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s strategy is designed to add value to the MSCI EAFE® Index 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 280 and 380). 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 80-180 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.
The predictive power of the quantitative models in exceptionally volatile and turbulent markets proved modestly problematic in the period through March, but our models were effective in the remainder of the reporting period in tandem with strongly recovering markets. For the reporting period as a whole, valuation factors were effective, especially after March, while business momentum and quality factors were caught on a wrong footing after the major trough in March.
On a net-asset-value basis, the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. Before deducting fees, however, the Fund’s positive performance was largely due to stock selection in Europe, and to a lesser extent developed Asia ex-Japan and Japan. Modest value and small capitalization tilts constituted a headwind in the first half of the reporting year, but were appropriate in the recovery phase. By design, the Fund’s sector and region weights approximate that of the benchmark and accordingly did not add value relative to the benchmark.
The efficacy of the individual factors included in each of the regional sector models for a particular reporting period substantially determines the stock selection result in each sector. For this reporting period, our positioning in the materials had the largest positive impact, due largely to valuation factors in the sector model. In financials, the percentile/best factor (valuation) added value. Positioning in the industrials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors also proved beneficial. A detraction from the healthcare sector was due to the poor predictive power of the earnings growth and price reversion factors for that sector.
Current Strategy and Outlook: By design, the Fund maintains approximate benchmark weights of the regions, economic sectors, and industries constituting the MSCI EAFE® Index and is expected to track the benchmark relatively closely. Stock selection flows from the in-sector/industry ranking models. Portfolio construction and risk control are utilized to ensure the characteristics of the Fund stay within an acceptable band around the benchmark. Our most attractive ranking stocks may have overweights of up to half a percentage point above their weightings in the index; for risk control purposes the maximum allowable underweight per security is half a percentage point below its weighting in the index. Within this context, the Fund currently has a modest tilt towards lower valuation and smaller capitalization stocks and has a resultant modest focus on stocks linked primarily to local economies and a recovery of the developed economies. The current portfolio of stocks has historically generated earnings growth slightly exceeding that of the index, carries a dividend yield similar to the index, has an equivalent return on equity, but has less leverage than the index.

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 of Hansberger Global Investors, Inc. (“HGI”) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 37.80%, including a return of capital of $0.01 per share, compared to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Indexsm(1) (“MSCI ACWI (ex-US) Indexsm”), which returned 34.10% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund outperformed the benchmark during the year ended October 31, 2009 as volatility declined from the levels seen during the fourth quarter of 2008 and investors returned to equities. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance was driven by security selection reflective of the fundamental bottom-up strategy used by the Sub-Adviser.
According to attribution, the information technology, industrials and materials sectors were the largest contributors to performance over the past year, due primarily to positive security selection. Within the information technology sector, Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Autonomy Corp. PLC were the largest contributors to relative performance. Within the industrials sector, global wind power giant, Vestas Wind Systems A/S was the largest contributor followed by Japanese battery maker and diesel particulate filter manufacturer NGK Insulators Ltd. China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. also contributed to performance as China’s large stimulus spend impacted the company positively. Vedanta Resources PLC, a UK mining company with exposure to Indian economic growth was a large contributor in the materials sector as global expectations of an economic recovery took hold. The consumer discretionary, consumer staples and healthcare sectors were the only sectors to detract from performance during the past year.
Attribution indicates that from a regional perspective, Europe, Emerging Markets and Pacific ex-Japan were the largest contributors to relative performance, primarily due to security selection. Japan also contributed to relative performance due to an underweight position relative to the benchmark. Millicom International Cellular SA, Prudential PLC and Telefonica SA were among the stronger European performers in the Fund over the past year. Emerging Markets posted strong returns over the year driven by Chinese property company Agile Property Holdings Ltd., Brazilian oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA ADR and Brazilian mining company, Vale SA ADR.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Economically, we believe the stimulus is kicking in and we’ve continued to see some stabilization in developed economies in 2009. Many countries are now starting to think about their exit strategies in terms of stimulus plans. We believe that emerging markets should continue to be the engine of growth. We are optimistic about China and the growth opportunities there from infrastructure spending and government stimulus. India is also growing faster than the developed world, but it is more of a domestic growth story. Commodity-related emerging economies may have a bit of a time lag in terms of growth, as the demand for energy and commodities in emerging markets may not be enough to offset the decline in demand from developed economies. In our opinion, demand appears to be rising, but it is still fairly muted at this point and risks remain that growth expectations will not be met.
We continue to actively pursue a disciplined, consistent approach that seeks to select stocks from, what we believe are, high quality companies with strong secular growth profiles and compelling competitive advantages. We believe the Fund is well positioned to capitalize on good growth opportunities over the coming year.

ING International Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Investment Officer, CFA and Steven D. Burton, Managing Director, CFA of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 25.77% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Developed ex-US Property Index(1) which returned 38.93% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The past twelve months have been a period of positive total returns for international real estate stocks, as improving capital market conditions and improving economic conditions have benefited investors. Governments and Central Banks responded quickly and aggressively to credit issues in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, providing access to significant capital support for financial institutions as well as interest rate cuts. The resulting impact is becoming evident via recent economic reports, including second quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) data that surpassed expectations, which has led to positive revisions to future growth estimates an acknowledgment that the recession, which impacted many of the world’s developed economies, may have ended. The Asia-Pacific property stocks fared the best over the past twelve months, followed by the European region.
Within the Asia-Pacific region, performance was driven by the strength of the Singapore and Hong Kong markets. Economic growth in Asia has been robust. China’s economic growth accelerated to an 8.9% rate year-on-year versus 6.1% and 7.9% during the first two quarters of 2009, respectively. Singapore revised its GDP growth forecast range for 2009 to -2.0% to -2.5% from the previous forecast range of -4% to -6%. The notable laggard in the region has been Japan, where property markets were up modestly during the past twelve months.
Within the European region, the return differential between countries has been quite substantial, ranging from a positive return posted by Austria, the best-performing market during the period, to a negative return posted by Spain, the poorest-performing market during the period. On whole, the countries which fared the best in the current environment were the countries in the Benelux region (the Benelux region is a union in Western Europe that comprises three neighboring countries — Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg) as well as Germany and France; the countries which fared the worst were in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe as well as the U.K.
While absolute returns were strong during the period, the Fund lagged its benchmark as the result of both stock selection and asset allocation decisions. Stock selection, which accounted for two-thirds of the period’s underperformance, was somewhat mixed as positive stock selection in Brazil and the U.K. was more than offset by sub-par stock selection in the Asia-Pacific region, primarily in Japan, Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong. Country allocation decisions hurt returns as an average underweight to the outperforming Asia-Pacific more than offset the slightly positive contribution of favorable country selection in Europe.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund continues to maintain a bias toward, what we believe are, high-quality companies. We remain overweight sectors and geographies offering long-term leases and high percentages of earnings from recurring sources (primarily contract lease rental income). We prefer companies that we believe offer more transparency, strong balance sheets and good, experienced management teams.
We believe international property companies are generally fairly valued. We estimate the average international property company trades at a modest discount to our internal estimate of inherent private real estate market value. In our opinion, the rationale for an international listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low long-term correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, reasonable valuations and the continued, gradual spread of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure globally. In our view, through an average 3% to 4% dividend yield plus, fundamentals which are bottoming and access to the capital markets, international property stocks should be well-positioned to deliver modestly attractive total returns over the next several years.

ING International SmallCap Multi-Manager Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by three sub-advisers — Acadian Asset Management LLC (“Acadian”), Batterymarch Financial Management, Inc. (“Batterymarch”) and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“Schroders”). Each manages a portion of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the sub-adviser. The following individuals are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective portions of the Fund: John R. Chisholm, CFA, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Matthew J. Cohen, CFA, Senior Vice President, Constantine P. Papageorgiou, CFA, Vice President, Brian K. Wolahan, CFA, and Qi R. Zeng, CFA, Senior Vice President, all Portfolio Managers of Acadian*; Charles F. Lovejoy, CFA, Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, Christopher W. Floyd, CFA, Portfolio Manager and Adam J. Petryk, Senior Director and Global Investment Strategist of Batterymarch; Matthew Dobbs, Portfolio Manager of Schroders.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 42.73% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Developed ex-US SmallCap Index(1) and the S&P Euro-Pacific Asia Composite (“EPAC”) SmallCap Index(2), which returned 44.31% and 43.11%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Acadian Sleeve(3) — During the period, the fund was focused on attractively valued small-cap stocks that appeared likely to rise in price based on earnings data, price characteristics and quality. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the fund outperformed the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index by approximately 9.50%(4). Value added was largely the result of country allocations, with active stock selection also contributing modestly. Key drivers of positive active returns were a combination of stock- and country-level performance in Singapore and China, the active allocations to India, Taiwan and Turkey, and stock selection in Germany. Less successful investments included a combination of stock selection and market positioning in Australia and Japan, as well as stock selection in Canada. Batterymarch Sleeve(3) — The fund underperformed the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index by approximately 15.80%(4) for the period. Our investment process is based on broad fundamentals, and for much of this period (after the market bounce in March) only value was rewarded regardless of other fundamental characteristics. The best performing stocks were of lower quality, lower growth and higher leverage, and did not rank well in our process. Stock selection detracted most in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors within continental Europe and Japan. Schroders Sleeve(3) — Over the fiscal year international smallcap equities staged a dramatic recovery and outperformed larger cap stocks in all the major regions. Pacific ex Japan offered the best absolute returns, while in sector terms, the key out-performers have been more cyclical areas such as consumer discretionary, financials and technology, while consumer staples and utilities have lagged. In line with our investment philosophy, our focus remained upon identifying under-valued smaller companies offering scope for superior and visible growth. This philosophy yielded good relative returns over the period as a whole, with stock selection the main contributor to the fund’s excess returns of approximately 5.60%(4) versus the S&P EPAC SmallCap Index. Stock selection has added value in all the major regions, and while cash holdings have held back returns in a period of rising markets, the overweight in Pacific ex Japan has contributed to relative performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Acadian Sleeve(3) — We expect continued elevated market volatility over the next year and some moderation of recent gains, but with an overall market trajectory that will be positive. In our opinion, investors will move away from lower quality stocks as market conditions stabilize. We believe there are many areas of attractive valuation across global markets, and earnings are likely to continue to improve as the global economy recovers. We are seeing greater dispersion in terms of how companies rank on our various stock factors, which we believe should provide a fertile ground for active management over the coming months. Batterymarch Sleeve(3) — Investors are attempting to reconcile signs of economic improvement with the problems that persist, such as continuing unemployment. However, the value spread has narrowed, removing fuel for a continued value run, and as economic uncertainty decreases, we believe analyst estimate dispersion looks poised to decline. In our opinion, both bode well for a more balanced and broadened market going forward The fund remains well diversified, invested in what we believe are high quality stocks that rank attractively relative to peers. As of October 31, 2009, the fund remained attractively valued versus the benchmark, with a lower 12 month forward price to earnings ratio (11.6x vs. 13.5x) and a higher return on equity (13.5% vs. 9.8% blend of 1 year and 5 year average). Schroders Sleeve(3) — In terms of strategy over the year, we retained an overweight stance in Pacific ex Japan, due to what we consider attractive growth prospects and stock opportunities. We remained cautious on Japan, but added to exposure through more defensive stocks which we believed had begun to offer long-term value. The fund has remained underweight in the United Kingdom reflecting our continued concerns over the headwinds to domestic demand. We believe some of these issues confront areas of continental Europe and we remain underweight in sectors such as financials and consumer cyclicals both in the United Kingdom and in continental Europe.

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
ING International Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by two sub-advisers — Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (“Brandes”) and ING Investment Management Co. (“ING IM”). Each manages a portion of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the sub-adviser. The following people are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Fund: Glenn R. Carlson, CFA, Chief Executive Officer, Brent V. Woods, CFA, Managing Director — Investments, Amelia Maccoun Morris, CFA, Director — Investments, W. James Brown, CFA, Director — Investments, Keith Colestock, CFA, Director — Investments, Brent Fredberg, Senior Analyst and Jeffrey Germain, Analyst, comprise the voting members of Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee*; Philip Schwartz, John Pairaktaridis and Joseph Vultaggio are the Portfolio Managers for ING IM.
Performance: For year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 21.74% compared to the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index (“MSCI EAFE® Index”)(1), which returned 27.71% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Brandes Sleeve(2) - While the fund advanced during the 12-month period, returns trailed the MSCI EAFE® Index by approximately 6.00%(3). Weak relative returns from individual holdings in the commercial banks industry had the greatest negative effect on performance during the period. Conversely, the Fund’s overweight (relative to the benchmark) in the diversified telecommunication services industry proved the greatest benefit to overall results during the period. From a country perspective, on an absolute and relative basis, the fund’s stock selection and allocation in Japan weakened returns, while stock selection in the United Kingdom made the greatest positive contributions to performance during the period. In addition, the fund’s overweight and stock selection in emerging markets made positive contributions to absolute and relative performance. IIM Sleeve(2) — The fund underperformed its benchmark by approximately 10.90%(3) due to a combination of weak security selection and negative sector allocation. Weak selection was most acute in materials, consumer staples, telecommunication services and industrials. Selection within information technology coupled with selection in energy helped to mitigate the losses. From a regional standpoint, selection in Europe, mainly France and the United Kingdom, led to material losses. In contrast, the Fund’s exposure to non-benchmark emerging markets contributed to results and helped to offset the detraction from Europe. Bumi Resources Tbk PT, BMW AG and Deutsche Bank AG were among the top performing stocks during the reporting period. The worst detractors included AXA S.A., Xstrata PLC and Daiwa Securities Group Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Brandes Sleeve(2) — The fund’s industry exposure is a result of our focus on the fundamentals and valuations of individual companies, not any “industry allocation” decision. We take a long-term perspective and believe that none or very little of the short-term “market news” provides useful information to investors. As of October 31, 2009, the fund’s most substantial weights were in Japan and in the diversified telecommunication services industry. IIM Sleeve(2)- We remain positive on equities for the next 12 months, though our outlook is a bit less sanguine than a few months prior. We are more optimistic in the case of international equities, particularly those tied to the emerging markets. Downside risks remain however, as we believe benefits from both stimulus programs and the inventory cycle should peak in the near future. We have reduced our allocation to higher beta stocks, though we continue to have a modest active weight in both oil and gold.

ING International Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Peter Boardman and Alberto Jimenez Crespo, Portfolio Managers* of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 29.22% compared to the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East® Index(1) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 27.71% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund was up for the year ended October 31, 2009 and fared better than the MSCI EAFE® Index for the same period. The period was marked by volatility and markets generally posted positive returns and closed at levels significantly higher than the lows reached during the period. As long term investors and stewards of client capital, we continue to focus on investing client assets in those areas where we find most opportunity and that we believe are likely to participate on the upside but also limit losses on the downside.
From both an absolute and relative perspective, the Fund benefited from its materials allocation and the holdings therein, which are comprised of a diverse range of industries operating in several different regions. Gold companies were the standout as their share prices rose as the price of gold moved higher and eventually crossed the psychologically significant $1,000 level. Anglogold Ashanti Ltd. ADR (“Anglogold”) of South Africa and Barrick Gold Corp. of Canada were top contributors to returns over the period; Anglogold further benefited from a strong South African rand, which added to U.S. dollar returns. Conversely, Stora Enso OYJ (Euro Denominated Security), the Finnish paper company, which was one of the Fund’s largest individual detractors, was sold out of the Fund during the period. The paper industry faces declining demand for paper products and pricing pressures that will impact their respective near term profitability objectives. Lonmin PLC, a British platinum company, also weighed on performance and was eliminated from the Fund, in favor of adding to our existing position in its competitor, Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd., which we believe presented a more favorable risk reward opportunity.
The U.S. dollar remains weak. The Fund was also aided by currency returns in both an absolute sense, as the dollar continued its decline during the period, as well as relative to the benchmark, where the Fund’s overweight in both South African rand and Canadian dollar contributed to additional gains versus the benchmark.
The financials sector, in which the Fund maintains a significant underweight relative to the benchmark, was the largest detractor from relative performance. As the markets rallied from their intra-period lows, European financials, including Societe Generale, generally benefited from improving profit margins. Our Japanese financials names did not have the tailwind of sharply higher profits. Takefuji Corp., a Japanese consumer loan provider, was the largest absolute detractor from returns and was eliminated from the Fund on credit concerns and news that company would have to continue to increase its provisions to cover higher than expected refund trend claims from past loans. Additionally, stock selection in technology contributed to overall outperformance for the period, while weaker stock selection in consumer staples weighed on relative returns.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe that the markets will continue to be volatile as a recovery which is slower than past economic recoveries may no longer be greeted with enthusiasm. In this environment, we believe investors are advised to protect their portfolio from the threat of a loss of purchasing power (driven by inflation). We continue to believe that all investors should maintain a meaningful allocation in hard assets, gold and global equities especially in light of low nominal returns (and negative real returns) on cash equivalents and sovereign bonds. We remain attracted to reserve-rich resource companies that are trading at below what we perceive to be their intrinsic value as well as consumer staples companies in Europe and select technology names. We expect common stocks to be volatile and unsettling at times but should reward patient, long-term investors.

ING Russia Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of Russian companies. The Fund is managed by Jan-Wim Derks and Angus Robertson, Portfolio Managers*, of ING Investment Management Advisors, B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 65.55% compared to the Russian Trading System (“RTS”) Index(1) and the MSCI Russia 10/40 Index(2),which returned 74.37% and 73.40%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Earlier this year Russian equities were priced for disaster, with many market participants expecting a collapse in the ruble and widespread corporate bankruptcies. As the global economic recovery has taken hold and markets have become unstuck, a number of global and local factors have worked together to push Russian equities up from their depressed levels. Historically low interest rates and large economic stimulus packages have created a global surge in liquidity. This has pushed risk appetite higher as investors seek out higher yielding assets. With the risk trade back on, those investors who had fled toward U.S. dollar assets during the crisis have moved the other way; this has weakened the dollar and supported risky assets such as commodities and emerging market currencies and equities. The Russian equity market, which is heavily reliant on commodities and perceived as a high-risk investment, has been benefiting from all these factors.
On top of the global environment, local factors that have played a role in the revaluation of Russian stocks include state support for various sectors, widespread corporate debt restructuring and falling interest rates made possible by decreasing inflationary pressures. In such an environment, the stocks that have performed the best have been those perceived as the most risky, among them a number of stocks that the market was previously pricing for bankruptcy.
The Fund has benefited from the recovery by holding a combination of large cap stocks, which have benefited from global money flowing into the Russian market; and smaller, riskier companies that had too much risk priced in. In terms of relative performance the Fund has benefited from its overweight in the small and mid cap space while it has suffered due to the underweight in the financials sector — Russian bank stocks were benefiting from global inflows while the Fund managers were not yet comfortable with the underlying fundamentals and maintained an underweight position in the sector.
The Fund’s best relative performance contributors at the stock level were LSR Group, Bank of St Petersburg, TMK Pipe and Magnit, while the worst detractors were VTB Bank and Sberbank.
Current Outlook and Strategy: After such a strong market performance and rebound in earnings expectations, we believe Russian valuation levels are no longer as attractive as they were earlier this year; however, we believe they remain attractive compared to their global emerging market peers and their peak levels of 2007 and 2008. If the environment of strong global liquidity and high appetite for risk persists, we believe it is likely that the Russian market will generally continue to outperform global emerging peers and developed markets. We are acutely aware, however, that any swing in the external environment is likely to put pressure on Russian equities. We therefore are closely monitoring the news flow on the global economic environment, inflation expectations and interest rates.
Besides the global or external angle, we believe the Fund is positioned to benefit from a number of domestic themes, including infrastructure spending, domestic consumption recovery, liberalizing of markets and increasing economic links with China. The Fund continues to underweight the energy sector (dominated by large cap, blue chip stocks) in favor of domestic sectors, particularly utilities, real estate and the consumer sectors. The Fund’s positioning in Russian banks is currently neutral.

Portfolio Managers’ Report
Investment Type Allocation
as of October 31, 2009
(as a percent of net assets)
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
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 Chris Diaz and Mike Mata, Portfolio Managers*, of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 24.43% compared to the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index(1) (the “Index”), which returned 18.41% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Capital markets swung from abject fear to a rebound in risk appetites over the year ended October 31, 2009. Massive doses of stimulus, low short-term lending rates and quantitative easing were hallmarks of policy responses to the global banking crisis of 2008. Emerging economies outpaced the developed world. In response, investors eventually left the “safe haven” of U.S. Treasury debt and embraced riskier assets. Domestic inflation remained muted. Despite the ultimate sell-off in Treasuries, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index returned 18.41% for the period.
Risk-based fixed income assets posted strong, positive excess returns(2). Corporate bonds, in general, posted 20.50% of excess returns, but utilities led the pack with 25.86% of return above comparable duration Treasuries. Generally, lower rated corporate bonds outperformed higher credit quality issuers, as did bonds with longer maturities. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) earned 27.85% of excess return as asset-backed securities (“ABS”) posted 24.24%.
As fear abated, the U.S. dollar (“USD”) resumed its slide after a buoyant fourth quarter 2008 and as a result of international risk aversion. With U.S. interest rates among the lowest in the world, the USD became the funding currency of choice for investors, as they borrow in USD and invest in higher-yielding currencies or assets.
While the sources of outperformance varied over time in a volatile market, our tactical management of currency exposures dominated. Initially we were long the USD in the waning days of 2008 but quickly moved to a number of non-dollar exposures as 2009 unfolded. Key themes that benefited the Fund included overweights to commodities based currencies, emerging markets currencies, and Scandinavian currencies. In particular, overweights to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Brazil and Mexico helped as commodities recovered from depressed levels during the period.
Adding to results was a timely call on credit. The Fund had been significantly underweight corporate bonds as they underperformed Treasuries. We began adding to credit exposure in November of 2008. This helped results as corporate bonds outperformed Treasuries significantly. Ultimately, we added exposures to non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), emerging market debt and high yield bonds. All of these additions helped performance but we could have been earlier on our allocations. We underweighted agency debentures and agency RMBS to “fund” our overweights in the riskier sectors; this call was correct as we were very happy to underweight two modestly winning sectors in order to increase the overweight to an even stronger sector.
During the first quarter of 2009, we anticipated quantitative easing and added interest rate exposure in the UK and Germany. Although the benefits (and exposures) of duration and yield curve management varied over time, these positions helped on an annual basis although they may have provided interim drag during specific quarters.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our key themes for the second half of 2009 are for range-bound U.S. Treasury rates and little likelihood of Federal Reserve tightening, because of expected high, continuing unemployment and significant slack in the domestic economy — despite growing evidence of bottoming in the major global economies. Although concerns about inflation may resurface, we believe that it will not be a problem for the near term.
Housing prices have slowed their rate of descent, and we believe consumer confidence is turning up. Although our macro outlook is for a modest and drawn-out recovery, we are mindful of the increasing number of upside surprises both in the United States and abroad. We believe that the brighter news on residential real estate prices remains key to the pace and direction of the economic recovery. We note, however, that the last quarter of 2009 may witness a small pause in the nascent housing price recovery.
We are maintaining our active risk to high-quality emerging markets, specifically expressed in Brazil, with emphasis on the high yields available in short-dated bonds. Allocations to the currencies of India and Indonesia follow our positive theme that emerging economies that have high savings rates may benefit from rising internal consumption and a rebound in exports. We believe that although the USD may benefit from a late year risk hiccup, we expect it to remain weak for some time.

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 ING Investments, LLC. The Fund is managed by ING Investments, LLC, under the guidance of an Asset Allocation Committee.(1)
Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 28.22% compared to the MSCI All Country World Indexsm (ex-US)(2) (“MSCI ACWI (ex-US)”) which returned 34.10% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The one-year period began while all the major developed economies were in recessionary territory, with slow growth and poorly performing equity markets. Global industrial production fell dramatically and fears of deflation arose. Governments and policy makers met this situation with unprecedented global monetary and fiscal support, which ultimately proved to be major catalysts for stabilization. The stock markets turned around in the spring, with many economic indicators picking up. The second half of the period saw double-digit returns, low interest rates and improving sentiment. Despite the rough start, all the major asset classes finished the period with extraordinary gains, ranging from a low of 24.09% for the MSCI Europe Australasia and Far East® Growth (“MSCI EAFE Growth”) Index, to 64.63% for the MSCI Emerging Markets® Index.
The Fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark was a result of the performance of the Underlying Funds. Positive relative results came from ING International Capital Appreciation Fund and marginally from ING Index Plus International Equity Fund. However, those contributions were not enough to offset the negative relative results from ING Foreign Fund, which was the greatest detractor for the period. Additionally, ING Emerging Countries Fund, ING International Value Fund, ING International Small Cap Multi-Manager Fund and ING International Value Choice Fund underperformed their strategic benchmarks for the period and detracted from relative results.
ING International Capital Appreciation Fund’s positive relative results for the period were due to strong stock selection across regions. Europe, Emerging Markets and Asia Pacific ex-Japan were the largest contributors to relative performance, primarily due to security selection. An underweight position Japan relative to the benchmark also contributed to relative performance.
The greatest detractors from relative performance were ING Foreign Fund, ING Emerging Countries Fund and ING International Real Estate Fund. ING Foreign Fund’s defensive positioning, which was initially supportive to relative results, led to the underperformance. The Fund’s underweights to Latin America (notably Brazil) and emerging Asia negatively impacted performance. Stock selection had a negative impact in most sectors, especially financials. ING Emerging Countries Fund lagged its benchmark because of a conservative sector allocation and significant cash balance after emerging markets rebounded sharply in early March and because of stock selection, which on balance detracted from results for the reporting period. ING International Real Estate Fund lagged its benchmark as the result of poor stock selection in the Asia-Pacific region, primarily in Japan, Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong. An underweight to the outperforming Asia-Pacific region more than offset the slight contribution of favorable country selection in Europe.
We made two tactical moves during the period. The first move, made in late March, was to reverse the underweight to small cap and corresponding overweight to large cap core, moving into a neutral position. In mid June, with a more sanguine forecast for global economies, we moved to overweight emerging markets. This was funded by a decrease in large cap core. Our view was that emerging markets were positioned for the strongest rebound in a gradual healing of the global economy. In concert with these asset allocation moves, we also implemented changes of Underlying Funds. ING International Value Fund was added to the Fund in August and ING International Equity Dividend Fund was removed in October.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Looking forward, we believe the global economic outlook has improved, and growth in the major developed economies is expected to resume in the second half of 2009 and into 2010. We do expect, however, the recovery to be relatively weak as consumption in the developed economies faces a secular headwind.
The Fund’s approximate target investment allocations among the asset classes in which the Fund invests are set out in the table. As these are target allocations, the actual allocations of the Fund’s assets may deviate from the percentages shown.
The investment committee allocates the Fund’s assets among the Underlying Funds based on advice from ING Investment Management Co., a consultant to the committee. The performance of the Fund reflects the performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests and the weightings of Fund’s assets in each Underlying Fund.
There is a risk that the Fund may allocate assets to an Underlying Fund or market that underperforms other asset classes. For example, the Fund may be underweighted in assets or a market that is experiencing significant returns or over-weighted in assets or a market with significant declines.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the table and graph above illustrate the total return of ING Diversified International Fund against the index indicated. The index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charge and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in the index. The Fund’s performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.
The graph and performance table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund Shares.
The performance shown may include the effect of the waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.
Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Please log on to www.ingfunds.com or call (800) 992-0180 to get performance through the most recent month end.
It is important to note that the Fund has a limited operating history. Performance over a longer period of time may be more meaningful than short-term performance.

Table of Contents
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 May 1, 2009 to October 31, 2009. 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 below, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” 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.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of ING Global Equity Dividend Fund, ING Global Natural Resources Fund, ING Global Real Estate Fund, ING Global Value Choice Fund, ING Asia-Pacific Real Estate Fund, ING Emerging Countries Fund, ING European Real Estate Fund, ING Foreign Fund, ING Greater China Fund, ING Index Plus International Equity Fund, ING International Capital Appreciation Fund, ING International Real Estate Fund, ING International SmallCap Multi-Manager Fund, ING International Value Choice Fund, ING Russia Fund, ING Global Bond Fund, and ING Diversified International Fund, each a series of ING Mutual Funds, and ING International Value Fund, a series of ING Mayflower Trust, as of October 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned funds as of October 31, 2009, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009
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 seventeen separate active 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 Asia-Pacific Real Estate Fund (Asia-Pacific Real Estate), ING Emerging Countries Fund (“Emerging Countries”), ING European Real Estate Fund (“European Real Estate”), 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 Real Estate Fund (“International Real Estate”), ING International SmallCap Multi-Manager Fund (“International SmallCap Multi-Manager”), ING International Value Choice Fund (“International Value Choice”), ING Russia Fund (“Russia”), 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’ prospectuses, each dated February 27, 2009.
Each Fund offers at least one or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class O, Class Q, Class R and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent fees. Generally, 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. Common expenses of the Funds (including custodial asset-based fees, legal and audit fees, printing and mailing expenses, transfer agency out-of-pocket expenses, and fees and expenses of the independent trustees) are allocated to each Fund in proportion to its average net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a particular fund (including advisory, administration, custodial transaction-based, registration, other professional, distribution and/or service fees, certain taxes, and offering costs) are charged directly to that Fund. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase.
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 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 National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale, 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 acquired with more than 60 days to maturity are fair valued using matrix pricing |
80

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
methods determined by an independent pricing service which takes into consideration such factors as yields, maturities, liquidity, ratings and traded prices in similar or identical securities. Securities for which valuations are not readily available from an independent pricing service may be valued by brokers which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of fair market value obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. |
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values, as defined by the 1940 Act, and as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the 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 defined by the 1940 Act, and 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.
For all Funds 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 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
81
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes a Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time a Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in a Fund’s NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less from the date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost which generally 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 (the “RTS”) 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 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 and other Funds with holdings in open end investment companies, the valuations of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds are based on the NAVs of the Underlying Funds each business day. In general, assets of the Underlying Funds are valued based on actual or estimated market value, with special provisions for assets not having readily available market quotations and short-term debt securities, and for situations where market quotations are deemed unreliable. Investments held in Underlying Funds maturing in 60 days or less from the date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost which generally approximates market value. Securities prices may be obtained from automated pricing services. Shares of investment companies held by the Underlying Funds will generally be valued at the latest NAV reported by that investment company.
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Each investment asset or liability of the Funds is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Securities valued at amortized cost are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing the Funds’ investments under these levels of classification is included following the Portfolios of Investments.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.
On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued additional guidance related to fair value measurement entitled 820, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures about the inputs and valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period. In addition, the three-level hierarchy disclosure and the level three roll-forward disclosure are to be expanded for each major category of equity and debt securities. There was no change to the financial position of the Funds and the results of their operations due to the adoption of this guidance and all disclosures have been made for the current
82

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
period as part of the Notes to Financial Statements and Portfolio of Investments.
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements related to derivatives entitled, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity invests in derivatives, (b) how derivatives are accounted, and (c) how derivatives affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Enhanced disclosures regarding credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments is also required. All changes to disclosures have been incorporated for the current period as part of the Notes to Financial Statements and Portfolio of Investments.
Effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008, the FASB established new disclosure requirements entitled, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees”. These amendments require enhanced disclosure regarding credit derivatives sold, including (1) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (2) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (3) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (4) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. These amendments require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. All changes to accounting policies have been incorporated for the current period as part of the Notes to Financial Statements and Portfolio of Investments.
B. | Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method. |
For Diversified International, capital gain dividends from Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded as distributions of realized gains from affiliated Underlying Funds.
Global Real Estate estimates 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 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,
83
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.
D. | Risk Exposures and the use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds’ investment objectives permit them to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, purchased options, written options, and swaps. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors. |
Market Risk Factors. In pursuit of their investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risk factors:
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Funds use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
The use of these strategies involves certain special risks, including a possible imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of derivative instruments and price movements of related investments. While some strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in related investments or otherwise, due to the possible inability of the Funds to purchase or sell a portfolio security at a time that otherwise would be favorable or the possible need to sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time because the Funds are required to maintain asset coverage or offsetting positions in connection with transactions in derivative instruments. Additional
84
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the following notes.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. The Funds derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Funds intend to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk the Funds have entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements. These agreements are with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivative and forward foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Funds and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement.
A Fund may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty risk on swaps, over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from a Fund is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies. At October 31, 2009, Global Bond has pledged $1,150,000 in collateral.
E. | Forward Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may enter into forward 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. |
For the year ended October 31, 2009, certain Funds have entered into forward foreign currency contracts with the obligation to buy and sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. The Funds use forward foreign currency contracts to enhance potential gain, hedge against anticipated currency exchange rates, and to maintain diversity and liquidity of the portfolio.
For the year-ended October 31, 2009, the total amount of all open forward foreign currency contracts as presented following the Portfolio of Investments is indicative of the volume of this derivative type.
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

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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.
Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the year ended October 31, 2009, Global Bond has both purchased and sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase or decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
For the year-ended October 31, 2009, the total amount of all open futures contracts as presented following the Portfolio of Investments represents an increase during the year for this type of derivative instrument.
F. | Options Contracts. The Funds may write call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities, commodities or foreign currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Funds exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Funds exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. |
The Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Funds exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Funds exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds pays a premium which is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
During the year ended October 31, 2009, Global Bond has both purchased and written options on foreign currencies to increase or decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. The total notional amounts, at absolute value, as presented in the Portfolio of Investments and the table
86
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
following, represents an increase in activity during the year for this type of derivative.
G. | Swap Agreements. Certain Funds may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. Subsequent changes in market value, if any, are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. A Fund may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported following each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. |
Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from third party pricing services, counterparties or brokers. The value of the swap contract is recorded on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Fund when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on each Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Fund also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations.
Entering into swap agreements involves the risk that the maximum potential loss of an investment exceeds the current value of the investment as reported on each Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral agreement between counterparties in which the buyer of the protection agrees to make a stream of periodic payments to the seller of protection in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for a referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swaps, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer a fixed payment stream based on the notional amount of the swap contract. This fixed payment stream will continue until the swap contract expires or a defined credit event occurs.
A Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. As a seller of protection in a credit default swap, a Fund may execute these contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market. A Fund may also enter into credit default swaps to speculate on changes in an issuer’s credit quality, to take advantage of perceived spread advantages, or to offset an existing short equivalent (i.e. buying protection on an equivalent reference entity).
Certain Funds may sell credit default swaps which expose these Funds to the risk of loss from credit risk- related events specified in the contract. Although contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a
87
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investment and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of October 31, 2009, for which a Fund is seller of protection, are disclosed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreements, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, Global Bond has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and to hedge against anticipated potential credit events.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, Global Bond has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to gain exposure to the credit risk of individual securities that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total notional amounts, at absolute value, of all open credit default swap positions as presented following the Portfolio of Investments represents a decrease in activity during the year for this type of derivative instrument.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements. Certain Funds are subject to interest risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Because the Funds hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Funds may enter into interest rate swap agreements. For the year ended October 31, 2009, Global Bond has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk.

For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total notional amounts, at absolute value, of all open interest rate swap positions as presented following the Portfolio of Investments represents an increase in activity during the year for this type of derivative instrument.
H. | 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, Asia-Pacific Real Estate, European Real Estate, International Equity Dividend and International Real Estate, which pay dividends, if any, quarterly and Global Bond, which pay dividends, if any, 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. |
I. | Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expire. |
The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
J. | 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. |
K. | 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. |
L. | 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. |
M. | Securities Lending. Each Fund and Underlying Fund has the option to temporarily loan up to 331/3% 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 |
89
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund or Underlying Fund. |
N. | 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 in good faith under procedures approved by the Board. |
O. | Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued 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 each Fund’s 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. |
P. | Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, each Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. Each Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. |

ING Funds Services, LLC (the “Administrator”), serves as administrator to each Fund. The Funds pay the Administrator a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
International Value also pays the Administrator an annual shareholder account-servicing fee of $5.00 for each account of beneficial owners of shares.
The Investment Adviser, ING IM, ING CRES, IIMA, ING Asia and the Administrator are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). ING Groep is a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, investments, life insurance and retirement services.
On October 19, 2008, ING Groep announced that it reached an agreement with the Dutch government to strengthen its capital position. ING Groep issued non-voting core Tier-1 securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion to the Dutch State. The transaction boosted ING Bank’s core Tier-1 ratio, strengthened the insurance balance sheet and reduced ING Groep’s Debt/Equity ratio.
On October 26, 2009, ING Groep announced that it will move towards a complete separation of its banking and insurance operations. A formal restructuring plan (“Restructuring Plan”) was submitted to the European Commission (“EC”), which approved it on November 18, 2009. ING Groep expects that the Restructuring Plan will be achieved over the next four years by a divestment of all insurance operations (including ING Investment Management) as well as a divestment of ING Direct US by the end of 2013. ING Groep has represented that it will explore all options, including initial public offerings, sales or combinations thereof. ING Groep has also announced its intention to repurchase EUR 5 billion of Core Tier 1 securities in the fourth quarter of 2009, financed by a EUR 7.5 billion underwritten rights issue.
NOTE 6 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Each share class of the Funds, except Class I and Class W, has adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD” or the “Distributor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, is reimbursed or compensated (depending on the class of shares) by the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Funds’ shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 Plans, each class of shares of a Fund pays the Distributor a Distribution and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates as companies that are under common control. Therefore, because the Funds have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Funds, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. 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:
Affiliated | Commissions | |||||
Fund | Brokers | Paid | ||||
Global Equity Dividend | ING Baring LLC | $ | 2,024 | |||

NOTE 15 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
All mutual funds involve risk — some more than others — and there is always the chance that you could lose money or not earn as much as you hope. A Fund’s risk profile is largely a factor of the principal securities in which it invests and investment techniques that it uses. For more information regarding the types of securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Funds and their corresponding risks, see each Fund’s most recent Prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information.
Diversified International is also affected by other kinds of risks, depending on the types of securities held or strategies used by an Underlying Fund.
Investment by Funds-of-Funds (Diversified International). Each of the Underlying Funds’ shares may be purchased by other investment companies. In some cases, an Underlying Fund may experience large inflows or redemptions due to allocations or rebalancings. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time, there could be adverse effects on portfolio management. The Investment

NOTE 15 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
Adviser will monitor transactions by each Underlying Fund and will attempt to minimize any adverse effects on the Underlying Funds and the Fund as a result of these transactions. So long as an Underlying Fund accepts investments by other investment companies, it will not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or under the terms of an exemptive order granted by the SEC.
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.
Non-Diversified (Global Natural Resources, Global Real Estate, Asia-Pacific Real Estate, European Real Estate, Greater China, International Real Estate, Russia, Emerging Markets Fixed Income and Global Bond). Certain of the Funds and Underlying Funds are classified as non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, which means that they are 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 Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause a Fund’s 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 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.
During the period, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (LBHI) and certain of its affiliates sought protection under the insolvency laws of their jurisdictions of organization, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. For the year ended October 31, 2009, Global Bond had outstanding securities trades with counterparties affiliated with LBHI. As a result of these events, LBHI’s affiliates were unable to fulfill their commitments and, in certain cases, Global Bond may have terminated its trades and related agreements with the relevant entities and, where appropriate, is in the process of initiating claims for damages. Management has determined that the financial impact to the Funds relating to these events is immaterial.
NOTE 16 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”), the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Currently, the cash collateral is invested in the Bank of New York Mellon Corp. Institutional Cash Reserves Fund (“BICR Fund”). BNY serves as investment manager, custodian and operational trustee of the BICR Fund. As of October 31, 2009, the BICR Fund held certain defaulted securities issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the “Lehman Securities”) in a separate sleeve designated as Series B. The Lehman Securities have market values significantly below amortized cost. On May 22, 2009, the Funds agreed to the terms of a capital support agreement (the “Capital Support Agreement”) extended by The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNYC”), an affiliated company of BNY, for the Lehman Securities held by the BICR Fund, Series B. Under the terms of the Capital Support Agreement, BNYC will support the value of the Lehman Securities up to 80% of the par value (the remaining 20% of the par value represents an unrealized loss to the Funds) and subject, in part, to the Funds’ continued participation in the BNY securities lending program through September 15,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
NOTE 16 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
2011. At September 15, 2011, if the Funds have complied with the requirements under the Capital Support Agreement to continue to participate in the BNY securities lending program and if such securities have not otherwise been sold, the Funds will have the right to sell the defaulted securities to BNYC at a price equal to 80% of par value. The recorded value of each Fund’s investment in the BICR Fund includes the value of the underlying securities held by the BICR Fund and the estimated value of the support to be provided by BNYC. The investment in the BICR Fund is included in the Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral and the unrealized loss on such investment is included in Net Unrealized Depreciation on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund. At October 31, 2009, the following Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

NOTE 17 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of October 31, 2009:

Effective November 21, 2009, Class Q shares of Foreign, Global Value Choice, International SmallCap Multi-Manager and International Value will be converted to Class W shares. Effective March 5, 2010, Class Q shares of Emerging Countries and International Capital Appreciation will be converted to Class W shares. Because Class Q shares of Global Natural Resources and Russia have no assets or shareholders, Class Q shares will be dissolved.
Effective January 4, 2010, Class B shares of the Funds, are closed to new investment, provided that: (1) Class B shares of the Funds may be purchased through the reinvestment of dividends issued by Class B Shares of the Fund; and (2) subject to the terms and conditions of relevant exchange privileges and as permitted under their respective prospectuses, Class B shares of the Fund may be acquired through exchange of Class B shares of other funds in the ING Mutual Funds Complex.
On November 12, 2009, the Board approved the removal of Batterymarch as one of the investment sub-advisers for International SmallCap Multi-Manager effective February 26, 2010. ING Investments will evaluate the optimal allocation of the assets under management by Batterymarch between International SmallCap Multi-Manager’s remaining sub-advisers, Acadian and Schroders on or near February 26, 2010. Additionally, in conjunction with this change and effective January 1, 2010, ING Investments has agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fee and revise the sub-advisory fee payable, with respect to Acadian.
Effective January 1, 2010, ING Investments has lowered the expense limitation agreements for Russia and Global Natural Resources.
The Funds have evaluated events occurring after the balance sheet date (subsequent events) through December 22, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |

ˆ | See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. |
# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |

+ | Other Financial Instruments are derivatives not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments and may include open forward foreign currency contracts, futures, swaps, and written options. |
Forward foreign currency contracts and futures are reported at their unrealized gain/loss at measurement date which represents the amount due to/from the Fund. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at measurement date. |
# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |

PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
ING Foreign Fund
as of October 31, 2009 (continued)
ˆ | See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. |
+ | Other Financial Instruments are derivatives not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments and may include open forward foreign currency contracts, futures, swaps, and written options. |
Forward foreign currency contracts and futures are reported at their unrealized gain/loss at measurement date which represents the amount due to/from the Fund. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at measurement date.
Transfers into Level 3 represents either the beginning balance (for transfer in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.
# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |

To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |

ˆ | See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. |
# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |

As of October 31, 2009, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at year end and included in the change in net assets was $211,688.
ˆ | See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. |
Transfers into Level 3 represents either the beginning balance (for transfer in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.
# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |

As of October 31, 2009, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at year end and included in the change in net assets was $992,885.
ˆ | See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. |
Transfers into Level 3 represents either the beginning balance (for transfer in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.
# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |
x | Fair value determined by ING Funds Valuation Committee appointed by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees. |

See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
+ | Other Financial Instruments are derivatives not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments and may include open forward foreign currency contracts, futures, swaps, and written options. |
# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as level 2 Investments. |
Forward foreign currency contracts and futures are reported at their unrealized gain/loss at measurement date which represents the amount due to/from the Fund. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at measurement date.
Transfers into Level 3 represents either the beginning balance (for transfer in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

(1) | If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either 1.) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or 2.) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | If the Fund is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will generally either 1.) Pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or 2.) Pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index. |
(3) | The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as seller of protection could be required to make or receive as a buyer of credit protection under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. |
(4) | The market values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing market values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring. |

Board Consideration and Approval of New Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the “1940 Act”) mandates that, when a series of ING Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) enters into a new sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Contract”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust, including a majority of Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the Sub-Advisory contract, and who are not “interested persons” of the series, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), must approve the new arrangement. Discussed below are certain factors that the Board considered in determining whether to approve a new Sub-Advisory Contract for ING Foreign Fund (the “Fund”), one of its series.
ING Foreign Fund
Artio Global Management, LLC (“Artio”) has sub-advised ING Foreign Fund since July 2003 pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Contract (the “Former Agreement”) with ING Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”). As discussed in the Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders for the period ended April 30, 2009, the Former Agreement was last approved for renewal by the Board on November 14, 2008. On September 29, 2009, an initial public offering (the “IPO”) by Artio Global Investors, Inc. (“Artio Global Investors”), the parent company of Artio (formerly Julius Baer Management, LLC) was completed.
The 1940 Act requires that an agreement under which a registered investment adviser serves as the sub-adviser to an investment company must provide for the automatic termination of the agreement in the event of its “assignment” (as such term is defined under the 1940 Act). A public offering of an investment adviser’s voting securities often is deemed to result in an assignment of the investment adviser’s advisory agreements. The consummation of the IPO constituted a sale of a controlling block of voting securities of Artio, thereby resulting in the assignment, and automatic termination, of the Former Agreement.
In order for management of the Fund to continue uninterrupted after the sale, the Adviser entered into a new Sub-Advisory Contract with Artio, effective as of September 29, 2009, under which Artio has continued to provide day-to-day management services to the Fund (the “New Agreement”). The IPO did not result in a change to the personnel managing the Fund or its investment strategies.
In anticipation of the IPO, at a meeting held on September 10, 2009, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to re-appoint Artio as sub-adviser to the Fund under the New Agreement. In determining whether to approve the New Agreement for the Fund, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether the New Agreement should be approved for the Fund. The materials provided to the Board in support of the New Agreements included the following: (1) a memorandum discussing the change of control of Artio and the resulting assignment and automatic termination of the Former Agreement; (2) responses to questions posed by K&L Gates, LLP, the Board’s independent legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees; (3) supporting documentation, including a copy of the form of New Agreement; and (4) 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 Management and by Artio in connection with their management of funds in the ING Funds Complex, including the Fund. Such information included, among other things a detailed analysis of the Fund’s performance, including attribution analyses, which had been provided at regular Board meetings.
The Board’s consideration of whether to approve the New Agreement took into account several factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the Adviser’s view with respect to Artio’s management of the Fund; (2) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by Artio under the New Agreement and the nature and quality of services provided by Artio under the Former Agreement; (3) the personnel, operations, and investment management capabilities of Artio after the consummation of the IPO, including Artio’s representations that the portfolio management personnel providing day-to-day management services to the Fund would remain in place through the close of the IPO and would continue to manage assets after the close; (4) the fairness of the compensation under the New Agreement in light of the services to be provided by Artio and the fact that there would be no change in the projected profitability of Artio or the Adviser in connection with the IPO; (5) that the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser under the New Agreement would remain unchanged after the IPO is completed

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
and the IPO would not affect the advisory fee payable by the Fund to the Adviser; (6) Artio’s representations that the IPO would not adversely affect the nature and quality of services provided to the Fund and that the IPO was not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Artio to provide those services; (7) Artio’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 the Fund and other funds in the ING Funds complex; and (8) Artio’s Code of Ethics, which has previously been approved for the Fund and other ING Funds, and related procedures for complying with that Code.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions with respect to the Fund: (1) Artio should be re-appointed as the Fund’s sub-adviser under the New Agreement and continue to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund; and (2) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to Artio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. The Board also noted that there would be further opportunity for review of the Fund’s more recent performance and other relevant factors in the course of deliberations for the next annual renewal of the Advisory Contracts in November 2009.
Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the New Agreement. During this approval process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY
I. Statement of Principles
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the “Committee”) of the ING Funds (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) set out on Exhibit A to this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) is responsible for the oversight of the work of the Funds’ independent auditors. As part of its responsibilities, the Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the auditors in order to assure that the provision of these services does not impair the auditors’ independence from the Funds. The Committee has adopted, and the Board has ratified, this Policy, which sets out the procedures and conditions under which the services of the independent auditors may be pre-approved.
Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules promulgated in accordance with the Act, the Funds may establish two different approaches to pre-approving audit and non-audit services. The Committee may approve services without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approval”) or it may pre-approve specific services (“specific pre-approval”). The Committee believes that the combination of these approaches contemplated in this Policy results in an effective and efficient method for pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Funds’ independent auditors. Under this Policy, services that are not of a type that may receive general pre-approval require specific pre-approval by the Committee. Any proposed services that exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require the Committee’s specific pre-approval.
For both types of approval, the Committee considers whether the subject services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and that such services are compatible with maintaining the auditors independence. The Committee also considers whether a particular audit firm is in the best position to provide effective and efficient services to the Funds. Reasons that the auditors are in the best position include the auditors’ familiarity with the Funds’ business, personnel, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the services will enhance the Funds’ ability to manage and control risk or improve audit quality. Such factors will be considered as a whole, with no one factor being determinative.
The appendices attached to this Policy describe the audit, audit-related, tax-related, and other services that have the Committee’s general pre-approval. For any service that has been approved through general pre-approval, the general pre-approval will remain in place for a period 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditors without specific pre-approval. The Committee will revise the list of services subject to general pre-approval as appropriate. This Policy does not serve as a delegation to Fund management of the Committee’s duty to pre-approve services performed by the Funds’ independent auditors.

II. Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the Committee’s specific pre-approval. Audit services are those services that are normally provided by auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements or those that generally only independent auditors can reasonably provide. They include the Funds’ annual financial statement audit and procedures that the independent auditors must perform in order to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements (e.g., information systems and procedural reviews and testing). The Committee will monitor the audit services engagement and approve any changes in terms, conditions or fees deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate.
The Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services, such as statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or issued in connection with securities offerings.
The Committee has pre-approved the audit services listed on Appendix A. The Committee must specifically approve all audit services not listed on Appendix A.
III. Audit-related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of the Funds’ financial statements or are traditionally performed by the independent auditors. The Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services will not impair the independent auditors’ independence, and therefore may grant pre-approval to audit-related services. Audit-related services include accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services;” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures relating to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR.
The Committee has pre-approved the audit-related services listed on Appendix B. The Committee must specifically approve all audit-related services not listed on Appendix B.
IV. Tax Services
The Committee believes the independent auditors can provide tax services to the Funds, including tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, without compromising the auditors’ independence. Therefore, the Committee may grant general pre-approval with respect to tax services historically provided by the Funds’ independent auditors that do not, in the Committee’s view, impair auditor independence and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
The Committee will not grant pre-approval if the independent auditors initially recommends a transaction the sole business purpose of which is tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Committee may consult

Table of Contents
outside counsel to determine that tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this Policy.
The Committee has pre-approved the tax-related services listed on Appendix C. The Committee must specifically approve all tax-related services not listed on Appendix C.
V. Other Services
The Committee believes it may grant approval of non-audit services that are permissible services for independent auditors to a Fund. The Committee has determined to grant general pre-approval to other services that it believes are routine and recurring, do not impair auditor independence, and are consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence.
The Committee has pre-approved the non-audit services listed on Appendix D. The Committee must specifically approve all non-audit services not listed on Appendix D.
A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this Policy as Appendix E. The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these impermissible services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the SEC’s prohibitions.
VI. Pre-approval of Fee levels and Budgeted Amounts
The Committee will annually establish pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for audit, audit-related, tax and non-audit services to be provided to the Funds by the independent auditors. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts require the Committee’s specific pre-approval. The Committee considers fees for audit and non-audit services when deciding whether to pre-approve services. The Committee may determine, for a pre-approval period of 12 months, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for the Fund’s audit, audit-related, and tax services (including fees for services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services for the Fund classified as other services (including any such services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval).
VII. Procedures
Requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditors will be submitted to management. If management determines that the services do not fall within those services generally pre-approved by the Committee and set out in the appendices to these procedures, management will submit the services to the Committee or its delagee. Any such submission will include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the Committee will, on a quarterly basis, receive from the independent auditors a list of services provided for the previous calendar quarter on a cumulative basis by the auditors during the Pre-Approval Period.

VIII. Delegation
The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Committee’s members. Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions, including any pre-approved services, to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will identify any member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated in writing. The member will retain such authority for a period of 12 months from the date of pre-approval unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The period of delegated authority may be terminated by the Committee or at the option of the member.
IX. Additional Requirements
The Committee will take any measures the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to oversee the work of the independent auditors and to assure the auditors’ independence from the Funds. This may include reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditors delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Funds, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the auditors their methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
Effective April 23, 2008, the KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) audit team for the ING Funds accepted the global responsibility for monitoring the auditor independence for KPMG relative to the ING Funds. Using a proprietary system called Sentinel, the audit team is able to identify and manage potential conflicts of interest across the member firms of the KPMG International Network and prevent the provision of prohibited services to the ING entities that would impair KPMG independence with the respect to the ING Funds. In addition to receiving pre-approval from the ING Funds Audit Committee for services provided to the ING Funds and for services for ING entities in the Investment Company Complex, the audit team has developed a process for periodic notification via email to the ING Funds’ Audit Committee Chairpersons regarding requests to provide services to ING Groep NV and its affiliates from KPMG offices worldwide. Additionally, KPMG provides a quarterly summary of the fees for services that have commenced for ING Groep NV and Affiliates at each Audit Committee Meeting.
