Dear Shareholder: | |
| |
The past year has brought about numerous changes in the mutual funds industry, including requests for additional disclosures. I would like to draw your attention to some additional information you will now see in the reports due, in part, to these new requirements: | |
| |
• You will see a new section entitled “Shareholder Expense Examples”. These examples are intended to illustrate for you the ongoing costs of investing in a mutual fund and to provide a method to compare those costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. | |
| |
• In addition to the normal performance tables included in the Portfolio Managers’ Reports, there are now additional graphical or tabular presentations, which illustrate the current holdings of the funds as of the period-end. | |
|
|
• Each fund now also files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. These Forms are available for shareholders to view on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. | |
| |
We welcome these changes and believe that they will provide valuable information to our shareholders. We hope you will find these additional disclosures beneficial and easy to understand. | |
| |
On behalf of ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support and confidence and look forward to serving you in 2005 and beyond. | |
| |
Sincerely, | |
| |
| |
James M. Hennessy |

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005
For the six month period ended April 30, 2005, global equities returned 5.7%, according to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index(1) in dollars, including net reinvested dividends. In currencies, the dollar weakened against all major currencies, but was rebounding in the later stages of the period. The U.S. currency slipped 0.6% against the euro, 1.0% against the yen and a more substantial 3.75% against the pound.
Interest rate issues were never far from the minds of investors in all markets. Commentators on investment grade U.S. fixed income securities were confounded by the flattening of the Treasury yield curve. Four times during the half year the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raised the Federal Funds rate by 0.25% to 2.75%, making seven increases since last June. More increases to come were signaled. Yet the yield on the ten-year Treasury continued to fall into February, with a disappointing jobs report as catalyst. On February 9, the ten-year Treasury yield reached its low point of 3.98%. Even Chairman Greenspan confessed his own bafflement at this “conundrum”, unnerving many investors with his apparent displeasure. This and other shocks sent ten-year Treasury yields back up to their semi-annual peak of 4.62% on March 28, but it was short lived. In the weeks that followed, evidence of slowing activity and firming inflation mounted. Barely two months after Greenspan’s “conundrum” speech, the conundrum was back. For the half-year the yield on 10-year Treasury Notes rose just 0.017% to 4.20%, while yeilds on 13-week Treasury Bills soared 0.097% to 2.84%, reflecting FOMC action. The return on the broader Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2) was 0.98%. In such an environment high yield bonds could not be expected to thrive. The Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index(3) barely broke even, returning 0.08%.
The U.S. equities market in the form of the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(4), added 3.3% including dividends. At this point the market was trading at a price to earnings (“P/E”) level of about 151/2 times earnings for the current fiscal year. The market advanced strongly in the last two months of 2004, powered by the clear presidential result, retreating oil prices after the October record and a bullish November employment report. By January, this was being seen as overly optimistic and stocks fell back. But encouraging elections in Iraq and an upsurge in merger and acquisition activity somewhat relieved the gloom. This was followed through in February as fourth quarter 2004 corporate earnings showed average growth above 20%. A better than expected employment report on March 4th propelled the S&P 500 Index to its best close of the half year the next day. But the sell off from this high to the end of April was swift as fears of slowing growth, rising inflation, and slumping consumer confidence sent the market to its 2004 low point in mid-April.
Japan equities firmed 4.8% in dollars, based on the MSCI Japan Index(5) plus net dividends and were trading on average at about 16.2 times current fiscal year earnings. The headline of the half-year was undoubtedly that Japan was in recession again for the fourth time in 13 years, with Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) falling in the middle two quarters of 2004. This, plus the worst deflation figure in 20 months, slumping consumer spending and industrial production undermined confidence. The International Monetary Fund downgraded Japan’s forecast GDP growth to just 0.8% for 2005. In addition, investors were rattled by political tension with China, now Japan’s largest trading partner. Some hopeful signs, however, powered the market higher. While GDP fell, it was still 2.6% higher in 2004 than in 2003. Market valuations are comparable to the U.S. and earnings may grow faster. In short, downbeat economic headlines may not rule out opportunities at the company level.
European ex UK markets jumped 9.2% in dollars during the reporting period, according to the MSCI Europe ex UK Index(6) in dollars including net dividends, repeatedly breaching levels last seen in mid-2002, before drifting down at the end. Markets in this region were trading on average at about 12.6 times earnings for the current fiscal year. As in Japan, the main economic news was disappointing. The number of people unemployed in Germany reached about five million and in France the rate matched an all time high of 10.1%. Eurozone GDP only rose by 0.2% in the last quarter of 2004. This and surging oil prices weighed on business and consumer confidence. However (as in Japan), prospects look better at the company level. The strong euro has forced corporations to become more profitable. European markets currently offer earnings growth similar to the U.S., but at a discount.
The UK market gained 10.3% in dollars, based on the MSCI UK Index(7) including net dividends. Like the rest of Europe, the UK market repeatedly reached the highest levels since mid-2002. Unlike the rest of Europe, the economy has been growing quite well,

3.1% in 2004, with very low unemployment at 4.8%. The main task for the monetary authorities has been to cool booming housing prices and consumer demand. Five interest rate increases to 4.75% seem to have worked. A major mortgage lender announced in March that house prices had registered their biggest monthly drop in nearly ten years. By April, manufacturing production and retail sales were slipping, factory orders plunged to a two-year low and first quarter GDP growth slowed to 0.6%. The cycle of interest rate increases in the UK may now be at its end.

ING GLOBAL EQUITY DIVIDEND FUND |
Country Allocation*
as of April 30, 2005
(as a percent of net assets)
* Excludes other assets and liabilities of 6.8% of net assets.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The ING Global Equity Dividend Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund is managed by Jorik van den Bos, Director, Global Equities, Joris Franssen, Portfolio Manager and Joost de Graaf, CFA, Senior Investment Manager, ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 7.82% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index(4), which returned 5.97% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index. Defensive sectors like energy, utilities and real estate performed very well across the board. The strategy has large positions in all these sectors. The strategy also benefited from its underweight position in information technology. Within consumer staples, a large position in tobacco producers helped the strategy as litigation fears eased. Food producers, like Conagra and Sara Lee, had a difficult period as raw material prices went up and competitive pressure increased.
Regionally, the Fund profited from its large position in Emerging Markets, which performed well, especially at the end of 2004. Emerging Markets offered many investment opportunities with very attractive dividend yields, sound fundamentals and above average growth prospects.
In general, stock picking clearly had a positive contribution to the Fund’s performance. Among the best performing stocks where the Spanish construction company Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas SA (+44.1%) and the South Korean utility Korea Electric Power Corp. (+46.3%). In the U.S., the strategy benefited from further consolidation in the utility sector where Exelon acquired Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc. (+39.3%). The worst performing stock was General Motors Corp. (-28.9%). The shares collapsed after the company posted a quarterly loss of over $1billion because sales slowed while costs were rising. Of course, we follow the developments very closely. During the first four months of 2005, the Fund’s strategy clearly showed that it has more to offer than just a high dividend yield. During this period, 50 companies in our portfolio increased their dividends. These higher dividend payments are the result of a good earnings season and strong cash flow generation of the companies in our portfolio. Several companies stood out the crowd. Cia Siderurgica Nacional SA (CSN) with a whopping 374% increase, Suncorp-Metway Ltd. 40%, China Steel Corp. 34.5%, Riunione Adriatica di Sicurta S.p.A. 33.3%, and Barratt Developments PLC with a 25% increase. The biggest dividend surprise came from General Maritime Corp., the second largest U.S. oil tanker owner announced its first dividend, yielding 16%, fulfilling a pledge to give most of its cash flow to investors in the form of dividends.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe the outlook for the Fund remains positive. Investments in defensive sectors like utilities, real estate and consumer staples give the strategy downside protection. These sectors are relatively cheap, less dependent on the economic environment and offer stable, high dividend yields. This may result in outperformance versus global equities if they fall significantly.
If the equity markets move sideways, stock selection and the consistent, disciplined strategy will likely add value. In this scenario, dividends may well make for an important part of the total return. This may result in positive absolute returns and outperformance of global equities.
We believe that only in the case of a strong rally it will be difficult to outperform global equities. If a rally is broadly driven, investments in financials and more cyclical sectors like industrials, consumer cyclicals and basic materials are also expected to show a strong performance. A rally driven by growth stocks (especially information technology or healthcare) will be the most difficult environment for the strategy. Although we do expect that absolute returns will be positive in that scenario.

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The ING Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return. The Fund is managed by a team led by, T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Investment Officer, ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 12.65% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”)/Citigroup World Property Index(4), which returned 10.56% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s overweight in Europe contributed to outperformance during the six-month period, as European property stocks were 19.4% during this time period. Outperformers in Europe included France 26.8%, Italy 27.7%, Spain 32.6% and Sweden 43.4%. Funds flows remained strong in Europe, partly as the result of a combination of attractive earnings yields, above average growth rates, recovering office markets, and continued merger and aquisition activity. Takeover activity was highlighted by the announced acquisition of French office/apartment company Gecina by Spanish developer Metrovacesa. Gecina, a position within the Portfolio, was up 12% on news of the deal.
The Asia-Pacific region was the second best performer by major region, up 10.5% during this time period. Singapore, although small, was the star performer within Asia, up over 25%, followed by Hong Kong up 12.9%, which has seen a sharp strengthening in office rents (25% in the first quarter of 2005 alone).
North America trailed with 7.7% total return as the sharply negative January brought down returns in the U.S. The Fund’s underweights in the Asia-Pacific and North American regions on average served it well during the period. Probably the most dominant theme affecting property stocks during the period was the volatility of bond yields in response to uneven economic data. On average, however, global economic news has been disappointing, causing longer-term bond yields to remain largely unchanged despite the U.S. Federal Reserve putting upward pressure on short rates by increasing the Fed Funds rate to 3.00%. The sluggish economic data, especially in Europe and to a lesser extent North America, has been good for property stocks as they continue to offer attractive relative yield.
The U.S. dollar generally weakened during the six months, most notably versus the Aussie dollar and British pound (4.4% and 4.2%, respectively) and by approximately 1% versus the Euro and Japanese yen. The exception was a 3% strengthening versus the Canadian dollar. A weakening U.S. dollar benefits an investor in the Fund, as returns translated from the strengthening currency convert to more U.S. dollars once converted back.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund, while maintaining a core of higher dividend yielding, defensively positioned stocks, has shifted over the past several months into higher growth countries and sectors, which may respond better to economic recovery. The Fund has reduced the extent of its overweight in Europe and added to the recovering economies of the Asia-Pacific region, particularly Japan and Hong Kong, both of which are exhibiting improving property fundamentals. By property type, the Fund is shifting its weighting towards sectors which have further to respond to improving economies, such as the office, apartment, and lodging sectors. The Fund is underweighted in sectors, which may not perform as well in such an environment, such as the more income-oriented health care sector. Through an average 3%-4% dividend yield plus 5%-8% prospective annual earnings growth, we believe global property stocks continue to be well-positioned to conservatively deliver attractive total returns over the next several years.

The ING Global Value Choice Fund (formerly, ING Worldwide Growth Fund, the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Paul Hechmer, Gregg Tenser, CFA and Mark Morris, CFA, each a Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager and Jon Bosse, CFA, Chief Investment Officer, NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC — the Sub-Adviser*.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 4.64% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index(4), which returned 5.97% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the period November 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005, Global markets advanced strongly in November and December following a decisive outcome of the U.S. election and lower oil prices after a record high in October. A resumed rise in oil prices and escalating concerns that global growth was slowing resulted in soft markets in January. After a sharp decline against the major currencies in November and December, the dollar rallied in January. In the U.S., the consumer staples and utility sectors were especially strong in the reporting period, while the telecommunication services and information technology sectors were relatively weak. Internationally, strength was concentrated in the industrials, consumer staples, materials, and financial sectors, with information technology and health care stocks performing relatively poorly. The developed Asia (ex-Japan) and European markets were strongest.
The domestic equity portion of the Fund outperformed the U.S. component of the benchmark as a result of strong stock selection results in the industrials, financial, and health care sectors. Performance in the energy sector detracted somewhat from results. At the security level, health care holdings Wellpoint Health Networks and Barr Pharmaceuticals contributed significantly, as did Oshkosh Truck and Alliant Techsystems in the industrials sector. In the international portion of the Fund, selection results in the materials sector were primarily responsible for the underperformance as well as poor stock selection in general. Strong contributions were recorded in the health care sector. At the security level, Singaporean real estate developer CapitaLand, British insurer Legal & General, and UK-based Imperial Tobacco Group were among the strongest contributors. Placer Dome (Canada), French semiconductor producer ST Microelectronics, and Japanese drug company Chugai Pharmaceutical were some of the worst performers. Securities previously discussed are not held by the Fund as of April 30, 2005.
Since assuming sub-advisory management of the Fund effective February 1, 2005, the Fund outperformed the benchmark, although still posting negative returns as strong returns in February were more than offset by weakness in the following two months. The U.S. Federal Reserves’ 25 basis point interest rate hike on February 22 precipitated the fall, while growing concerns about the likelihood of a global economic slowdown exacerbated it. On a relative basis, the Fund was aided by strong absolute performance in the energy and industrials area of the market. The Fund also benefited from holding Metso Oyj, a Finnish machinery company, which appreciated significantly in the period. Regionally, stocks in the U.S. bolstered relative performance. In particular, Aetna, Inc. in the healthcare sector and Kerr-Mcgee Corp. in the energy sector were strong performers as was Suncor Energy, Inc. in Canada. Offsetting some of these gains were an underweight in the healthcare sector and declines in the financials sector.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to feel that value opportunities still exist and that these opportunities are finely balanced between both domestic and international companies. The Fund maintains a high exposure to the materials sector, where we believe that absolute value opportunities still exist, primarily in the international space, through a broad range of commodity companies. We are also finding opportunities in many fixed line telecommunications companies based across the globe. Conversely, we are struggling to find names in the healthcare sector and international financial companies, which fit our criteria of quality companies trading at compelling valuations. From a regional perspective, we maintain a full weight in the U.S., although more opportunities are presenting themselves overseas than domestically and internationally we have an overweight to Japan while being underweight in Europe.

The ING Emerging Countries Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser*. Brandes’ Emerging Markets Investment Committee is responsible for making day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 11.39% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets (“EM”) Index(5), which returned 13.63% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the first four months of the reporting period the Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark (22.48% versus 24.81%). Emerging Markets finished the calendar year 2004 on a strong note (up 9.3% in November and 4.8% in December, ending the full calendar year up 26%). This rally coincided with the strong post-election rally in the U.S. equity markets. At the end of November an important rebalancing of the MSCI EM Index took place. Taiwan’s Limited Investibility Factor (LIF) was raised from 0.55 to 0.75, taking the MSCI Taiwan weight up from approximately 10% to 14%. In January, Emerging Markets were basically flat but surged 8.7% in February. The main elements of underperformance over the four-month period were stock selection among financials and in Turkish stocks, as well as the opportunity loss from maintaining a cash balance in a strong market.
For the period from March 1, 2005 through April 30, 2005, declines for holdings in Brazil and South Korea weighed on the Fund’s results. Positions registering declines included Telesp Celular Participacoes SA (Brazil) and LG Chemicals Ltd. (South Korea). Other holdings posting declines included Yageo Corp. (Taiwan) and Manila Electric Co. (Philippines).
On an industry basis, declines for positions in commercial banking and diversified telecom services had the most substantial impact on performance.
At March 1, 2005, we established a wide range of positions at prices that we consider attractive.
As of April 30, 2005, the Fund’s most substantial country weighting was in South Korea. On an industry basis, the Fund’s largest exposure was in telecommunications.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our investment philosophy continues to focus on fundamental company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we search for and hold stocks that are trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy may provide patient investors with favorable results.
Keep in mind that the Fund’s weightings for countries and industries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions regarding interest rates, economic growth, or other macroeconomic variables. Instead, these weightings stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities in emerging markets.

The ING Foreign Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is managed by Rudolph-Riad Younes, CFA, Senior Vice President and Head of International Equity and Richard Pell, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, Julius Baer Investment Management, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 7.59% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index(4), which returned 8.95% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the period, there were several factors, which detracted from results relative to the Index. Within the Japanese equity market, positions held in Japanese financials were disappointing. We have been building positions there in anticipation of margin improvements as restructuring continues. However, concerns over the outlook for the Japanese economy undermined stocks over the period. Forward foreign exchange positions into the Japanese Yen also detracted from results. An underweight to basic materials at a time when commodity prices were pushed higher by hedge funds and other speculators impacted our results. Stock selection within this sector also negatively impacted performance, particularly shares of BHP Billiton Ltd. and Newcrest Mining Ltd., both of which underperformed the Index over the period. Cash equivalents denominated in Euros underperformed the Index as did our holding in SNP Petrom SA in Romania. Stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector underperformed the Index amid an environment where European indicators have been hinting at a slowdown for several months. The average cash holding of approximately 3.8% also significantly detracted from performance.
Our underweight within information technology had a positive impact on performance. We have long had concerns over this sector from a valuation perspective amid an environment of slowing earnings momentum and a change in accounting standards related to stock options. Stock selection within health care was also positive. We have recently been increasing our weighting to European health care stocks, which we believe are attractively valued following a long period of relative underperformance. Within financial services, several positions held in the emerging European markets were strong performers. Specifically, Sberbank RF Russia, Turkiye Garanti Bankasi AS, OTP Bank Rt. and Turkiye IS Bankasi AS were positive contributors. Our overweight to energy supported the strategy. We observe that production growth has failed to keep up with demand. Existing oil fields are depleted while reserve replacement has been weak. Median production growth in 2004 was negative 3.8% while consumption was up last year by 3.4%. We anticipate that supply-demand imbalances will keep oil prices high with further pressure on prices coming from China and India.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We expect that international equity markets will remain under pressure given relatively high valuations, even after recent declines, and uncertainty over the direction of economic growth and interest rates. We remain defensively positioned and focused on stocks of companies with strong cash flow and balance sheets, which we believe will be more resilient in the difficult business environment that seems to lie ahead. Within emerging markets, we continue to focus on Eastern and Central Europe. Interest in this region has been driven by expectations of increasing integration with Western Europe. However, in the run-up to a May 29th referendum in France on the proposed European Constitution, hostility to further European expansion has become a rallying issue for anti-EU factions. It is far from clear how this will ultimately impact these economies. We continue to view the emerging European countries as having attractive fundamentals and so are retaining our positions in these markets.

ING INTERNATIONAL FUND | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
Country Allocation*
as of April 30, 2005
(as a percent of net assets)
* Excludes other assets and liabilities of 0.3% of net assets.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The ING International Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital through investment in equity securities and equity equivalents of companies outside of the U.S. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Richard T. Saler and Philip A. Schwartz, CFA, each a Senior Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 5.35% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index(4), which returned 8.95% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: We maintained a defensive position for the six-month reporting period, which initially proved to be a drag on performance as markets continued to prefer cyclically sensitive and lesser quality stocks. For the past few months, however, mounting concerns over economic growth rates and sustained high oil prices are being reflected in a move to more defensive stocks and sectors. Consequently, the bulk of the underperformance was recorded in the fist half of the period under review.
Stock selection results were disappointing in Developed Asia ex-Japan, emerging markets and North America, and neutral in Japan and Europe. Excluding the negative impact of the residual cash holding in a rising market, sector allocation added value, especially by underweighting the relatively weak consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. Within the sectors, performance in the financial, materials, and consumer staples sectors detracted significantly from the Fund’s return, while positive results in the telecommunication services and consumer discretionary sectors partly offset this.
At the security level, the largest detractor was Canadian gold producer Placer Dome, Inc. in a poorly performing gold market. Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. was impacted by the weakness in the materials sector in the latter part of the review period. ST Microelectronics NV was hurt in a vulnerable semiconductor market, and Barco NV, which had disappointing earnings, impacted the result in technology. A significant positive contribution was made by our position in Deutsche Boerse AG, a leading player in the consolidation of European stock exchanges. Singaporean real estate developer CapitaLand (previously held) and TDC A/S (the major telecom services provider in Denmark) were among the other stocks contributing positively.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The deceleration in international economic growth is starting to be reflected in reduced earnings growth rate estimates for 2005. Continued cost reductions in both Europe and Japan should, however, offset some of the negative impact of declining revenue growth. On the positive side, under this scenario, the pressure on inflation and interest rates may be relatively contained.
The market is, however, starting to rotate into more defensive sectors and stocks with a relatively high and visible cash flow profile. Our analysis indicates that these stocks are still commanding almost no premium compared to the market and their more cyclically sensitive peers, and our portfolio is positioned accordingly. We are modestly overweight Japan and underweight Europe, and maintain a small exposure to selected emerging markets opportunities. The Fund is underweight consumer discretionary, industrial, materials, and financial sectors, with an emphasis on consumer staples, health care, utility and telecommunication services stocks.

The ING International SmallCap Fund (formerly, ING International SmallCap Growth Fund, the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by John Chisholm, CFA, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Investment Officer and Matthew Cohen, CFA, Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager, Acadian Asset Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser*.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 11.68% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) SmallCap Index(4) and the Standard & Poor’s/Citigroup Europe, Pacific, Asia Composite/Extended Market Index (“S&P/Citigroup EPAC/EMI”)(6), which returned 15.48% and 14.06%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The MSCI EAFE SmallCap Index posted solid gains in the four months ending February 28, 2005, up 20.2%. International equity markets extended November’s gains into December and capped 2004 with robust performance across the board, despite an uncertain environment characterized by rising interest rates, higher oil prices and the ongoing war in Iraq. In the final weeks of 2004, trading volume was thin as investors geared up for the holidays, but the markets reacted favorably to easing oil prices, increased merger activity and rosy outlooks from such industry leaders as Intel Corp. and General Electric Co. The Fund benefitted from overweights in Europe and Canada, but an overweight in Korea detracted from performance. Stock selection was strong in Europe, but was weak in the UK and Japan.
For the period from March 1, 2005, through April 30, 2005, the portfolio underperformed the MSCI EAFE SmallCap Index by approximately 2.6%. This was mostly the result of country allocations, though stock selection also detracted slightly from return.
Looking at country allocations in detail, there was quite significant underperformance from the underweighting in Japan and the overweighting in Canada. These weights were driven mainly by bottom-up stock selection, but based on the characteristics of the stocks in each market, Japan had appeared to be an expensive market and Canada a well-valued one with good earnings potential. Over the two-month period, however, small stocks in Japan rallied while those in Canada trailed the overall index.
The opportunistic allocation to certain emerging markets, including Turkey, China and Korea, also detracted from return. These markets appeared, and continue to appear, very attractive, but this period saw a flight to perceived “quality,” especially away from stocks with leverage on global growth, energy, and trade. Emerging markets were particularly affected by this environment.
Partly offsetting the above results, the Fund saw some positive return from several other country positions, including its overweighting in Denmark and the underweightings in Norway, Ireland and New Zealand. Overall, however, country positions detracted a net of 2.4% of active return.
In terms of stock selection, it was a challenging environment for a value approach in March and April, as the top-ranked companies in terms of attractiveness on price to earnings underperformed. Markets also saw unusually high volatility, which intensified performance effects. Markets where stock selection detracted from return included the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan, where such holdings as Pendragon, Algoma Steel and Nissan Diesel underperformed the benchmark index. Stock selection saw the most underperformance in the services and staples sectors.
The Fund’s negative stock selection return was partly offset by successful stock selection in such markets as Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Greece. Several service and technology stocks performed well, including Getronics and Ace Aviation.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Acadian pursues a quantitative investment strategy and does not formulate an economic outlook. Currently, France and Germany along with several smaller European markets such as Spain, Denmark and Switzerland are among the most positively weighted European markets. The United Kingdom, Sweden and Belgium are underweighted. We are also underweighting Japan. The Fund maintains its active allocation to Canada and also several emerging markets including Korea, Turkey and China.
The forecasts for the markets we expect to do well are being largely driven by the energy sector, where both valuation and earnings still appear very attractive, as well as the materials sector, which continues to be profitable in the current environment of high demand and rising prices. Technology appears to have a lackluster forecast in most markets, as consumer spending remains subdued. As we look at growth versus value factors in EAFE markets, we expect the recent moderate shift towards growth to continue in the short-term. However, several factors still favor value, particularly earnings/price ratio and, more notably, style momentum.

The ING International Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P., — the Sub-Adviser. Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee is responsible for making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 5.77% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index(4), which returned 8.95% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Gains for holdings in the United Kingdom and Japan helped drive the Fund’s performance, however, the Fund underperformed the benchmark. Top performers from these countries included Imperial Chemical Industries PLC (United Kingdom), GlaxoSmithKline PLC (United Kingdom), and Japan Tobacco, Inc. (Japan).
The Fund’s gains in the period largely were the result of a broad-based advance. While many holdings climbed, prices for the following companies fell during the period and had an adverse influence on overall results: Alcatel SA (France) and Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA ADR (Brazil).
On an industry basis, advances for positions in diversified telecom services, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals made the most substantial contributions to gains.
During the period, we sold holdings such as Petroleo Brasileiro (Brazil), Cemex (Mexico), and Michelin (France) as their market prices approached our estimates of their fair values. We purchased shares of companies such as Sanofi-Aventis (France), Daimler Chrysler AG (Germany), and Aegon NV (Netherlands) at prices that we consider attractive.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our investment philosophy continues to focus on fundamental company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we search for and hold stocks that are trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy may provide patient investors with favorable results.
As of April 30, 2005, the Fund’s most substantial country weighting was in Japan. On an industry basis, the Fund’s largest exposure was in diversified telecom services.
Keep in mind that the Fund’s weightings for countries and industries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions regarding interest rates, economic growth, or other macroeconomic variables. Instead, these weightings stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities in markets around the world.

The ING International Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Paul Hechmer, Senior Vice President and International Portfolio Manager, NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: From February 1, 2005, the inception of the Fund, to April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of -2.80% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index(4), which returned -0.51% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund posted a modest decline and underperformed the benchmark for the three months since inception. While the Fund made strong initial strides, markets and the Fund gave back all of the gains following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 25 basis point interest rate hike on February 22 and the growing view that the global economy may be slowing while interest rates continue to rise. The strengthening dollar impaired returns for U.S. investors. Strong performance in energy companies, such as Suncor Energy, Inc. and Shell Transport & Trading Co. PLC aided returns, even though the oil price fell from its highs. However, high exposure to the telecommunications sector through poorly performing holdings such as KT Corp. and Chunghwa Telecom Co. Ltd. hurt the Fund, although our investment thesis for holding these companies remains. We were hurt by our under representation to holdings in the healthcare sector.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to feel that overall valuations of international firms remain attractive and continue to find globally competitive companies trading at very low valuations. The Fund maintains a high exposure to the materials sector, where we believe that absolute value opportunities exist, while holding names across the commodities spectrum. We are finding opportunities in many fixed line telecommunications companies based in both Europe and Asia. On the other hand, we are struggling to find opportunities in the financials and healthcare sectors, which fit our criteria of quality companies trading at compelling valuations. From a regional perspective, we are maintaining our overweight in Japan and exposure to the emerging markets and Canada, while being underweight in Europe.

ING PRECIOUS METALS FUND | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
Country Allocation*
as of April 30, 2005
(as a percent of net assets)
* Excludes other assets and liabilities of -0.1% of net assets.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The ING Precious Metals Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to attain capital appreciation and hedge against the loss of buying power of the U.S. dollar as may be obtained through investment in gold and securities of companies engaged in mining or processing gold throughout the world. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by James A. Vail, CFA, Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of -16.18% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(2), and the Financial Times (“FT”) Gold Mines Index(3), which returned 3.27% and -19.26%, respectively, for the same period. Gold Bullion(4) returned 2.39% for the period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s performance was negatively impacted by Barrick Gold Corp., RIO Narcea Gold Mines Ltd. and Queenstake Resources Ltd. In Barrick’s case, the Fund is weighted 5.7% compared to 14% in the FT Gold Mines Index and Barrick outperformed the sector. In general, the Fund would not take the risk equal weighting shares to the Index when stocks carry such a heavy weighting. In the case of Rio Narcea and Queenstake, two junior producers, delays in mine construction and output caused disappointing results. We have retained these holdings as the intermediate-term outlook remains attractive, in our opinion.
Holdings that provided attractive contributions to performance were Harmony Gold Mining Co., Ltd., Goldfields Ltd., Randgold Resources Ltd. and Shore Gold, Inc. The Fund was significantly underweight Harmony Gold Mining Co., Ltd., and Goldfields Ltd., which were negatively impacted by a strong South African rand that caused costs to increase despite generally higher bullion prices. Randgold Resources Ltd., which we were overweight, is tied to the U.S. dollar and possesses an exciting growth profile from new mines. Finally Shore Gold, Inc. was a strong performer. As a result of a corporate restructuring, Shore Gold, Inc. took possession of a significant diamond property in Canada. Bulk sampling results indicated attractive potential as several large diamonds were found and the overall value was enhanced. Freeport Copper and Gold, a core holding in the Fund, benefited from higher copper prices and also added to performance. In addition, performance was helped by the Fund’s holdings in other precious metals and minerals, diversified metals and mining relative to the Index. Finally, the Fund benifited from a large relative cash position in a weak sector enviornment.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund is following a strategy of maintaining exposure to senior, intermediate and junior gold producers. Secondarily, because of continuous South African rand strength, we will underweight South African producers of gold and platinum group metals. Our overriding approach is to seek producers regardless of size who can demonstrate attractive production growth potential, essentially lessening the impact of gold prices over the intermediate term. Some examples would include companies such as Barrack Gold Corp., Glamis Gold Ltd., Randgold Resources Ltd. and Gammon Lake Resources, Inc.
We believe the outlook for rising gold bullion prices remains positive. The U.S. budget and trade deficits are expected to force the dollar lower over time. This should keep gold prices on an upward bias. Fundamentally, mine production peaked in 2004 and the newly introduced exchange traded funds backed by gold bullion have introduced a new demand matrix for gold.
Within this environment, we believe the Fund is positioned to capture attractive performance if prices move higher. While short-term volatility should be expected, we believe the intermediate to long-term outlook remains positive.

The ING Russia Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of Russian companies. The Fund is managed by Samuel Oubadia, Senior Portfolio Manager, Michiel Bootsma, Senior Investment Manager, Emerging Market Equities, and Jan-Wim Derks, Director of Global Emerging Markets Equities, ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of -0.79% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets (“MSCI EM”) Index(2) and the Russian Trading System (“RTS”) Index(4), which returned 13.63% and 1.06%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund was essentially flat during the six-month period under review. This was in spite of the fact that Russia’s economic performance was quite strong throughout the period. However, the fallout from the Yukos affair, which left investors concerned about rising political risk and property rights, offset the country’s strong economic performance.
Oil prices remained high through the six-month period. The oil and gas sector continues to be the main driver of Russia’s economy as it accounted for about 20.0% of Russia’s gross domestic product (“GDP”) in 2004. As such, a number of oil stocks performed very well over the period. Included among these was LUKOIL. LUKOIL’s share price gained 9.5% making it a clear outperformer versus the broader market. Although LUKOIL remains the Fund’s largest holding, the stock was a source of underperformance, as it now comprises an enormous 32.0% of the RTS Index.
One of the best performing stocks in the oil and gas sector was Tyumen Oil Company (“TNK”). The stock performed particularly well at the start of 2005 after the company’s management announced that later in the year, shareholders of TNK would be offered the chance to swap their shares into the shares of an entity representing TNK’s joint-venture with BP. The new entity will include the group’s other subsidiaries in the oil sector. It will therefore be much larger and more liquid, and thus attract a much larger investor base. As a result, TNK’s share price soared 35.2% during the period. The Russia Fund held a substantial position in TNK shares.
Two stocks that performed poorly over the relevant period were those of Russia’s cellular telecommunications operators, Mobile Telesystems (“MTS”) and Vimpel-Communications. The two stocks slid 7.4% and 13.9% respectively. MTS’s last set of financial results were below the market’s initial expectations, as an aggressive marketing campaign at the end of 2004 led to a drop in the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, distributions and amortization margin. Average revenue per user (ARPU) was also below expectations. Vimpel-Communications’ results, on the other hand, were in line with expectations. However, a public dispute between the company’s two main shareholders has left investors nervous regarding future developments. More specifically, one of Vimpel-Communications’ strategic shareholders, Alfa Group, has threatened to divest its stake in the mobile operator. The Fund held positions in both MTS and Vimpelcom.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Consensus estimates for Russia’s GDP growth lie in the range of 5.5-6.0% for 2005 and slightly higher in 2006. Most other emerging markets would be envious of such a positive outlook. However, Russia has been a laggard in the area of reform. Little progress has been made in the reform of the electricity sector, and there are also some doubts as to whether the share liberalization of Gazprom shares will proceed as scheduled. Both issues were considered key benchmarks as to the government’s commitment to reform at the start of 2005. Without further progress on these high profile objectives, we believe Russian equities will continue to be held back. The general decrease in the risk appetite for emerging markets, as a result of higher interest rates in the United States, may also dampen investors’ enthusiasm for Russian stocks.
We intend to maintain our current exposure to the oil and gas sector. Although this sector comprises more than 39.0% of the Fund, it still represents a fairly large underweight position. We will maintain our largest overweight position in the telecommunications sector. Finally, due to the fact that we do not see much progress in the reform of the electricity sector, we will maintain a neutral to underweight position in that sector.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution [and/or service] (12b–1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2004 to April 30, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. The ING Funds included in this report are comprised of ING Mutual Funds (“IMF”) and ING Mayflower Trust (“IMT”); both are organized as open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
IMF is a Delaware statutory trust organized in 1992 with ten separate series (“Funds”): ING Global Equity Dividend Fund (“Global Equity Dividend”), ING Global Real Estate Fund (“Global Real Estate”), ING Global Value Choice Fund (formerly, ING Worldwide Growth Fund, ”Global Value Choice”), ING Emerging Countries Fund (“Emerging Countries”), ING Foreign Fund (“Foreign”), ING International Fund (“International”), ING International SmallCap Fund (formerly, ING International SmallCap Growth Fund, ”International SmallCap”), ING International Value Choice Fund (“International Value Choice”), ING Precious Metals Fund (“Precious Metals”) and ING Russia Fund (“Russia”). IMT is a Massachusetts business trust organized in 1993 with one series (Fund), ING International Value Fund (“International Value”). The investment objective of each Fund is described in each Fund’s prospectus.
Each Fund offers one or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class M and Class Q (Class I and Class Q are presented in a separate annual report). The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. No class has preferential dividend rights. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the relative weighting of pro rata income and realized gain allocations and from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase.
Effective September 2, 2003, International Value was closed to new investments except for shares purchased (1) through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions; (2) by 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans that have selected International Value as an investment option prior to June 28, 2002; (3) by shareholders participating in mutual fund wrap fee programs who were invested in International Value prior to June 28, 2002; (4) by new 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans and new shareholders participating in mutual fund wrap fee programs subject to approval by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser based on their assessment of the Fund’s ability to invest the monies consistent with the Fund’s objectives in light of market conditions, the size of the purchase, and other relevant factors relating to International Value, or (5) by employees of the Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates. Proof of eligibility may be required. Employees of the Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates must identify themselves as such at the time of purchase. Failure to do so may result in a rejection of the purchase.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. For all Funds except Russia, investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale, securities traded in the over-the-counter-market, gold and silver bullion, platinum and palladium are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at that time. Debt securities are valued at prices obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities and may be adjusted based on the Fund’s valuation procedures. U.S. Government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics.
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the
60
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
supervision of the Fund’s 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 net asset value may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. If a significant event which is likely to impact the value of one or more foreign securities held by a Fund occurs after the time at which the foreign market for such security(ies) closes but before the time that a Fund’s net asset value is calculated on any business day, such event may be taken into account in determining the fair value of such security(ies) at the time a Fund calculates its net asset value. For these purposes, significant events after the close of trading on a foreign market may 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, the Board has authorized the use of one or more research services to assist with the determination of the fair value of foreign securities. Research services use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment, and 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. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest approximates market value.
For the Russia Fund, the valuation procedures for Russian equity securities are to price local shares according to the most recent available bid prices. If securities are not listed on the Russian Trade System or on any other pricing service that lists available bid quotes, then the mean of at least two broker bid quotes is used. For equity securities of an issuer in Russia for which there are no readily available reliable market value quotations, the following benchmark pricing procedure shall apply on any day on which the largest securities exchange in Russia (the “RTS”) declines by 21/2% 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.
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.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities that are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the 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.
61
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities.
D. Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or uses forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Fund pays dividends and capital gains, if any, annually (except Global Equity Dividend and Global Real Estate, which pay dividends, if any, quarterly). 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired.
The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, where by a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
G. Use of Estimates. Management of the Funds has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
H. Organization Expenses and Offering Costs. Costs incurred with the organization of the Funds were expensed as incurred. Costs incurred with the offering of shares of the Funds are deferred and amortized over a twelve-month period on a straight-line basis.
I. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Fund will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Fund. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to
62
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. If the seller defaults, a Fund might incur a loss or delay in the realization of proceeds if the value of security collateralizing the repurchase agreement declines, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
J. Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan up to 30% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. Government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund.
K. Options Contracts. All Funds may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Funds may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
L. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Each 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 to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Each Fund may also invest in restricted securities which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be considered liquid pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board or may be deemed illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. Illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures approved by the Board.
M. Delayed Delivery Transaction. The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of these securities is identified in the Funds’ Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets sufficient to cover the purchase price.

At April 30, 2005, the following indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep owned shares of the following Funds:
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company — Global Equity Dividend Fund (5.30%).
ING National Nederlanden Intervest — Global Real Estate Fund (36.15%).
ING National Trust — International Fund (22.54%).
Control is defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Funds.
The Investment Manager may direct the Fund’s portfolio managers to 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.
Each Fund has adopted a Retirement Policy covering all independent trustees of the Fund 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.
NOTE 8 — OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES
At April 30, 2005, the Russia Fund had $106,921 payable for custodian fees and $68,449 payable for postage fees included in Other Accrued Expenses and Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that exceeded 5% of total liabilities.

NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
Foreign Securities (All Funds). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since investments of securities 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. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as from movements in currency, security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.
Emerging Markets Investments (All Funds). Because of less developed markets and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions, the risks of investing in foreign securities can be intensified in the case of investments in issuers domiciled or doing substantial business in emerging market countries.
Industry Concentration (Global Real Estate and Precious Metals). As a result of the Fund concentrating its assets in securities related to a particular industry, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuation than a fund which has securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.
Region Concentration (Russia). As a result of the Fund concentrating its assets in a single region of the world, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that invests globally. If securities in the region that the Fund is concentrated fall out of favor, it may cause the Fund to underperform in relation to funds that focus on other types of stocks.
Non-Diversified (Global Real Estate, Precious Metals and Russia). There is additional risk associated with being non-diversified, since the Fund is not limited in the proportion of its assets in a single issuer. The investment of a large percentage of a Fund’s assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause that Fund’s share price to fluctuate more than that of a diversified fund.

NOTE 14 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. Government securities. The collateral must be in an amount equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security, however there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund. At October 31, 2004, the following Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

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

NOTE 16 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
ING Investments, LLC (“Investments”), the adviser to the ING Funds, has reported to the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. Investments has advised the Board that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those produc ts by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Board.
73
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 16 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
Investments has advised the Board that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated. Based on the internal review, Investments has advised the Board that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.
More specifically, Investments reported to the Board that, at this time, these instances include the following:
• ING has identified three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”) has received a notice from the staff of the NASD informing IFD that it has made a preliminary determination to recommend that disciplinary action be brought against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with these arrangements. As permitted under NASD procedures, IFD may respond to the NASD staff before the staff makes a final recommendation.
• Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) has identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.
• ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.
• In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.
For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 9, 2004. These Forms 8-K can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Board are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds. Investments reported to the Board that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance.
Accordingly, Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
• ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.
• ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.
• The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING

entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.
• ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.
• ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.

Dear Shareholder: | |
| |
The past year has brought about numerous changes in the mutual funds industry, including requests for additional disclosures. I would like to draw your attention to some additional information you will now see in the reports due, in part, to these new requirements: | |
| |
• You will see a new section entitled “Shareholder Expense Examples”. These examples are intended to illustrate for you the ongoing costs of investing in a mutual fund and to provide a method to compare those costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. | |
| |
• In addition to the normal performance tables included in the Portfolio Managers’ Reports, there are now additional graphical or tabular presentations, which illustrate the current holdings of the funds as of the period-end. | |
|
|
• Each fund now also files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. These Forms are available for shareholders to view on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. | |
| |
We welcome these changes and believe that they will provide valuable information to our shareholders. We hope you will find these additional disclosures beneficial and easy to understand. | |
| |
On behalf of ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support and confidence and look forward to serving you in 2005 and beyond. | |
| |
Sincerely, | |
| |
| |
James M. Hennessy |

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005
For the six month period ended April 30, 2005, global equities returned 5.7%, according to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index(1) in dollars, including net reinvested dividends. In currencies, the dollar weakened against all major currencies, but was rebounding in the later stages of the period. The U.S. currency slipped 0.6% against the euro, 1.0% against the yen and a more substantial 3.75% against the pound.
Interest rate issues were never far from the minds of investors in all markets. Commentators on investment grade U.S. fixed income securities were confounded by the flattening of the Treasury yield curve. Four times during the half year the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raised the Federal Funds rate by 0.25% to 2.75%, making seven increases since last June. More increases to come were signaled. Yet the yield on the ten-year Treasury continued to fall into February, with a disappointing jobs report as catalyst. On February 9, the ten-year Treasury yield reached its low point of 3.98%. Even Chairman Greenspan confessed his own bafflement at this “conundrum”, unnerving many investors with his apparent displeasure. This and other shocks sent ten-year Treasury yields back up to their semi-annual peak of 4.62% on March 28, but it was short lived. In the weeks that followed, evidence of slowing activity and firming inflation mounted. Barely two months after Greenspan’s “conundrum” speech, the conundrum was back. For the half-year the yield on 10-year Treasury Notes rose just 0.017% to 4.20%, while yeilds on 13-week Treasury Bills soared 0.097% to 2.84%, reflecting FOMC action. The return on the broader Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2) was 0.98%. In such an environment high yield bonds could not be expected to thrive. The Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index(3) barely broke even, returning 0.08%.
The U.S. equities market in the form of the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(4), added 3.3% including dividends. At this point the market was trading at a price to earnings (“P/E”) level of about 151/2 times earnings for the current fiscal year. The market advanced strongly in the last two months of 2004, powered by the clear presidential result, retreating oil prices after the October record and a bullish November employment report. By January, this was being seen as overly optimistic and stocks fell back. But encouraging elections in Iraq and an upsurge in merger and acquisition activity somewhat relieved the gloom. This was followed through in February as fourth quarter 2004 corporate earnings showed average growth above 20%. A better than expected employment report on March 4th propelled the S&P 500 Index to its best close of the half year the next day. But the sell off from this high to the end of April was swift as fears of slowing growth, rising inflation, and slumping consumer confidence sent the market to its 2004 low point in mid-April.
Japan equities firmed 4.8% in dollars, based on the MSCI Japan Index(5) plus net dividends and were trading on average at about 16.2 times current fiscal year earnings. The headline of the half-year was undoubtedly that Japan was in recession again for the fourth time in 13 years, with Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) falling in the middle two quarters of 2004. This, plus the worst deflation figure in 20 months, slumping consumer spending and industrial production undermined confidence. The International Monetary Fund downgraded Japan’s forecast GDP growth to just 0.8% for 2005. In addition, investors were rattled by political tension with China, now Japan’s largest trading partner. Some hopeful signs, however, powered the market higher. While GDP fell, it was still 2.6% higher in 2004 than in 2003. Market valuations are comparable to the U.S. and earnings may grow faster. In short, downbeat economic headlines may not rule out opportunities at the company level.
European ex UK markets jumped 9.2% in dollars during the reporting period, according to the MSCI Europe ex UK Index(6) in dollars including net dividends, repeatedly breaching levels last seen in mid-2002, before drifting down at the end. Markets in this region were trading on average at about 12.6 times earnings for the current fiscal year. As in Japan, the main economic news was disappointing. The number of people unemployed in Germany reached about five million and in France the rate matched an all time high of 10.1%. Eurozone GDP only rose by 0.2% in the last quarter of 2004. This and surging oil prices weighed on business and consumer confidence. However (as in Japan), prospects look better at the company level. The strong euro has forced corporations to become more profitable. European markets currently offer earnings growth similar to the U.S., but at a discount.
The UK market gained 10.3% in dollars, based on the MSCI UK Index(7) including net dividends. Like the rest of Europe, the UK market repeatedly reached the highest levels since mid-2002. Unlike the rest of Europe, the economy has been growing quite well,

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005
3.1% in 2004, with very low unemployment at 4.8%. The main task for the monetary authorities has been to cool booming housing prices and consumer demand. Five interest rate increases to 4.75% seem to have worked. A major mortgage lender announced in March that house prices had registered their biggest monthly drop in nearly ten years. By April, manufacturing production and retail sales were slipping, factory orders plunged to a two-year low and first quarter GDP growth slowed to 0.6%. The cycle of interest rate increases in the UK may now be at its end.

ING GLOBAL VALUE CHOICE FUND |
Country Allocation*
as of April 30, 2005
(as a percent of net assets)
* Excludes other assets and liabilities of 1.0% of net assets.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The ING Global Value Choice Fund (formerly, ING Worldwide Growth Fund, the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Paul Hechmer, Gregg Tenser, CFA and Mark Morris, CFA, each a Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager and Jon Bosse, CFA, Chief Investment Officer, NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC — the Sub-Adviser*.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of 4.78% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index(4), which returned 5.97% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the period November 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005, Global markets advanced strongly in November and December following a decisive outcome of the U.S. election and lower oil prices after a record high in October. A resumed rise in oil prices and escalating concerns that global growth was slowing resulted in soft markets in January. After a sharp decline against the major currencies in November and December, the dollar rallied in January. In the U.S., the consumer staples and utility sectors were especially strong in the reporting period, while the telecommunication services and information technology sectors were relatively weak. Internationally, strength was concentrated in the industrials, consumer staples, materials, and financial sectors, with information technology and health care stocks performing relatively poorly. The developed Asia (ex-Japan) and European markets were strongest.
The domestic equity portion of the Fund outperformed the U.S. component of the benchmark as a result of strong stock selection results in the industrials, financial, and health care sectors. Performance in the energy sector detracted somewhat from results. At the security level, health care holdings Wellpoint Health Networks and Barr Pharmaceuticals contributed significantly, as did Oshkosh Truck and Alliant Techsystems in the industrials sector. In the international portion of the Fund, selection results in the materials sector were primarily responsible for the underperformance as well as poor stock selection in general. Strong contributions were recorded in the health care sector. At the security level, Singaporean real estate developer CapitaLand, British insurer Legal & General, and UK-based Imperial Tobacco Group were among the strongest contributors. Placer Dome (Canada), French semiconductor producer ST Microelectronics, and Japanese drug company Chugai Pharmaceutical were some of the worst performers. Securities previously discussed are not held by the Fund as of April 30, 2005.
Since assuming sub-advisory management of the Fund effective February 1, 2005, the Fund outperformed the benchmark, although still posting negative returns as strong returns in February were more than offset by weakness in the following two months. The U.S. Federal Reserves’ 25 basis point interest rate hike on February 22 precipitated the fall, while growing concerns about the likelihood of a global economic slowdown exacerbated it. On a relative basis, the Fund was aided by strong absolute performance in the energy and industrials area of the market. The Fund also benefited from holding Metso Oyj, a Finnish machinery company, which appreciated significantly in the period. Regionally, stocks in the U.S. bolstered relative performance. In particular, Aetna, Inc. in the healthcare sector and Kerr-Mcgee Corp. in the energy sector were strong performers as was Suncor Energy, Inc. in Canada. Offsetting some of these gains were an underweight in the healthcare sector and declines in the financials sector.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to feel that value opportunities still exist and that these opportunities are finely balanced between both domestic and international companies. The Fund maintains a high exposure to the materials sector, where we believe that absolute value opportunities still exist, primarily in the international space, through a broad range of commodity companies. We are also finding opportunities in many fixed line telecommunications companies based across the globe. Conversely, we are struggling to find names in the healthcare sector and international financial companies, which fit our criteria of quality companies trading at compelling valuations. From a regional perspective, we maintain a full weight in the U.S., although more opportunities are presenting themselves overseas than domestically and internationally we have an overweight to Japan while being underweight in Europe.

ING EMERGING COUNTRIES FUND | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
Country Allocation*
as of April 30, 2005
(as a percent of net assets)
* Excludes other assets and liabilities of -5.5% of net assets and 9.9%
of net assets for short-term investments related to securities lending.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The ING Emerging Countries Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser*. Brandes’ Emerging Markets Investment Committee is responsible for making day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of 11.44% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets (“EM”) Index(5), which returned 13.63% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the first four months of the reporting period the Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark (22.48% versus 24.81%). Emerging Markets finished the calendar year 2004 on a strong note (up 9.3% in November and 4.8% in December, ending the full calendar year up 26%). This rally coincided with the strong post-election rally in the U.S. equity markets. At the end of November an important rebalancing of the MSCI EM Index took place. Taiwan’s Limited Investibility Factor (LIF) was raised from 0.55 to 0.75, taking the MSCI Taiwan weight up from approximately 10% to 14%. In January, Emerging Markets were basically flat but surged 8.7% in February. The main elements of underperformance over the four-month period were stock selection among financials and in Turkish stocks, as well as the opportunity loss from maintaining a cash balance in a strong market.
For the period from March 1, 2005 through April 30, 2005, declines for holdings in Brazil and South Korea weighed on the Fund’s results. Positions registering declines included Telesp Celular Participacoes SA (Brazil) and LG Chemicals Ltd. (South Korea). Other holdings posting declines included Yageo Corp. (Taiwan) and Manila Electric Co. (Philippines).
On an industry basis, declines for positions in commercial banking and diversified telecom services had the most substantial impact on performance.
At March 1, 2005, we established a wide range of positions at prices that we consider attractive.
As of April 30, 2005, the Fund’s most substantial country weighting was in South Korea. On an industry basis, the Fund’s largest exposure was in telecommunications.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our investment philosophy continues to focus on fundamental company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we search for and hold stocks that are trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy may provide patient investors with favorable results.
Keep in mind that the Fund’s weightings for countries and industries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions regarding interest rates, economic growth, or other macroeconomic variables. Instead, these weightings stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities in emerging markets.

The ING Foreign Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is managed by Rudolph-Riad Younes, CFA, Senior Vice President and Head of International Equity and Richard Pell, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, Julius Baer Investment Management, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of 7.66% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index(4), which returned 8.95% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the period, there were several factors, which detracted from results relative to the Index. Within the Japanese equity market, positions held in Japanese financials were disappointing. We have been building positions there in anticipation of margin improvements as restructuring continues. However, concerns over the outlook for the Japanese economy undermined stocks over the period. Forward foreign exchange positions into the Japanese Yen also detracted from results. An underweight to basic materials at a time when commodity prices were pushed higher by hedge funds and other speculators impacted our results. Stock selection within this sector also negatively impacted performance, particularly shares of BHP Billiton Ltd. and Newcrest Mining Ltd., both of which underperformed the Index over the period. Cash equivalents denominated in Euros underperformed the Index as did our holding in SNP Petrom SA in Romania. Stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector underperformed the Index amid an environment where European indicators have been hinting at a slowdown for several months. The average cash holding of approximately 3.8% also significantly detracted from performance.
Our underweight within information technology had a positive impact on performance. We have long had concerns over this sector from a valuation perspective amid an environment of slowing earnings momentum and a change in accounting standards related to stock options. Stock selection within health care was also positive. We have recently been increasing our weighting to European health care stocks, which we believe are attractively valued following a long period of relative underperformance. Within financial services, several positions held in the emerging European markets were strong performers. Specifically, Sberbank RF Russia, Turkiye Garanti Bankasi AS, OTP Bank Rt. and Turkiye IS Bankasi AS were positive contributors. Our overweight to energy supported the strategy. We observe that production growth has failed to keep up with demand. Existing oil fields are depleted while reserve replacement has been weak. Median production growth in 2004 was negative 3.8% while consumption was up last year by 3.4%. We anticipate that supply-demand imbalances will keep oil prices high with further pressure on prices coming from China and India.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We expect that international equity markets will remain under pressure given relatively high valuations, even after recent declines, and uncertainty over the direction of economic growth and interest rates. We remain defensively positioned and focused on stocks of companies with strong cash flow and balance sheets, which we believe will be more resilient in the difficult business environment that seems to lie ahead. Within emerging markets, we continue to focus on Eastern and Central Europe. Interest in this region has been driven by expectations of increasing integration with Western Europe. However, in the run-up to a May 29th referendum in France on the proposed European Constitution, hostility to further European expansion has become a rallying issue for anti-EU factions. It is far from clear how this will ultimately impact these economies. We continue to view the emerging European countries as having attractive fundamentals and so are retaining our positions in these markets.

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
The ING International Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital through investment in equity securities and equity equivalents of companies outside of the U.S. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Richard T. Saler and Philip A. Schwartz, CFA, each a Senior Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of 5.50% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index(4), which returned 8.95% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: We maintained a defensive position for the six-month reporting period, which initially proved to be a drag on performance as markets continued to prefer cyclically sensitive and lesser quality stocks. For the past few months, however, mounting concerns over economic growth rates and sustained high oil prices are being reflected in a move to more defensive stocks and sectors. Consequently, the bulk of the underperformance was recorded in the fist half of the period under review.
Stock selection results were disappointing in Developed Asia ex-Japan, emerging markets and North America, and neutral in Japan and Europe. Excluding the negative impact of the residual cash holding in a rising market, sector allocation added value, especially by underweighting the relatively weak consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. Within the sectors, performance in the financial, materials, and consumer staples sectors detracted significantly from the Fund’s return, while positive results in the telecommunication services and consumer discretionary sectors partly offset this.
At the security level, the largest detractor was Canadian gold producer Placer Dome, Inc. in a poorly performing gold market. Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. was impacted by the weakness in the materials sector in the latter part of the review period. ST Microelectronics NV was hurt in a vulnerable semiconductor market, and Barco NV, which had disappointing earnings, impacted the result in technology. A significant positive contribution was made by our position in Deutsche Boerse AG, a leading player in the consolidation of European stock exchanges. Singaporean real estate developer CapitaLand (previously held) and TDC A/S (the major telecom services provider in Denmark) were among the other stocks contributing positively.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The deceleration in international economic growth is starting to be reflected in reduced earnings growth rate estimates for 2005. Continued cost reductions in both Europe and Japan should, however, offset some of the negative impact of declining revenue growth. On the positive side, under this scenario, the pressure on inflation and interest rates may be relatively contained.
The market is, however, starting to rotate into more defensive sectors and stocks with a relatively high and visible cash flow profile. Our analysis indicates that these stocks are still commanding almost no premium compared to the market and their more cyclically sensitive peers, and our portfolio is positioned accordingly. We are modestly overweight Japan and underweight Europe, and maintain a small exposure to selected emerging markets opportunities. The Fund is underweight consumer discretionary, industrial, materials, and financial sectors, with an emphasis on consumer staples, health care, utility and telecommunication services stocks.

The ING International SmallCap Fund (formerly, ING International SmallCap Growth Fund, the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by John Chisholm, CFA, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Investment Officer and Matthew Cohen, CFA, Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager, Acadian Asset Management, Inc. - the Sub-Adviser*.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of 11.84% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) SmallCap Index(4) and the Standard & Poor’s/Citigroup Europe, Pacific, Asia Composite/Extended Market Index (“S&P/Citigroup EPAC/EMI”)(6), which returned 15.48% and 14.06%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The MSCI EAFE SmallCap Index posted solid gains in the four months ending February 28, 2005, up 20.2%. International equity markets extended November’s gains into December and capped 2004 with robust performance across the board, despite an uncertain environment characterized by rising interest rates, higher oil prices and the ongoing war in Iraq. In the final weeks of 2004, trading volume was thin as investors geared up for the holidays, but the markets reacted favorably to easing oil prices, increased merger activity and rosy outlooks from such industry leaders as Intel Corp. and General Electric Co. The Fund benefitted from overweights in Europe and Canada, but an overweight in Korea detracted from performance. Stock selection was strong in Europe, but was weak in the UK and Japan.
For the period from March 1, 2005, through April 30, 2005, the portfolio underperformed the MSCI EAFE SmallCap Index by approximately 2.6%. This was mostly the result of country allocations, though stock selection also detracted slightly from return.
Looking at country allocations in detail, there was quite significant underperformance from the underweighting in Japan and the overweighting in Canada. These weights were driven mainly by bottom-up stock selection, but based on the characteristics of the stocks in each market, Japan had appeared to be an expensive market and Canada a well-valued one with good earnings potential. Over the two-month period, however, small stocks in Japan rallied while those in Canada trailed the overall index.
The opportunistic allocation to certain emerging markets, including Turkey, China and Korea, also detracted from return. These markets appeared, and continue to appear, very attractive, but this period saw a flight to perceived “quality,” especially away from stocks with leverage on global growth, energy, and trade. Emerging markets were particularly affected by this environment.
Partly offsetting the above results, the Fund saw some positive return from several other country positions, including its overweighting in Denmark and the underweightings in Norway, Ireland and New Zealand. Overall, however, country positions detracted a net of 2.4% of active return.
In terms of stock selection, it was a challenging environment for a value approach in March and April, as the top-ranked companies in terms of attractiveness on price to earnings underperformed. Markets also saw unusually high volatility, which intensified performance effects. Markets where stock selection detracted from return included the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan, where such holdings as Pendragon, Algoma Steel and Nissan Diesel underperformed the benchmark index. Stock selection saw the most underperformance in the services and staples sectors.
The Fund’s negative stock selection return was partly offset by successful stock selection in such markets as Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Greece. Several service and technology stocks performed well, including Getronics and Ace Aviation.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Acadian pursues a quantitative investment strategy and does not formulate an economic outlook. Currently, France and Germany along with several smaller European markets such as Spain, Denmark and Switzerland are among the most positively weighted European markets. The United Kingdom, Sweden and Belgium are underweighted. We are also underweighting Japan. The Fund maintains its active allocation to Canada and also several emerging markets including Korea, Turkey and China.
The forecasts for the markets we expect to do well are being largely driven by the energy sector, where both valuation and earnings still appear very attractive, as well as the materials sector, which continues to be profitable in the current environment of high demand and rising prices. Technology appears to have a lackluster forecast in most markets, as consumer spending remains subdued. As we look at growth versus value factors in EAFE markets, we expect the recent moderate shift towards growth to continue in the short-term. However, several factors still favor value, particularly earnings/price ratio and, more notably, style momentum.

The ING International Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P., — the Sub-Adviser. Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee is responsible for making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.
Performance: For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of 5.80% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index(4), which returned 8.95% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Gains for holdings in the United Kingdom and Japan helped drive the Fund’s performance, however, the Fund underperformed the benchmark. Top performers from these countries included Imperial Chemical Industries PLC (United Kingdom), GlaxoSmithKline PLC (United Kingdom), and Japan Tobacco, Inc. (Japan).
On an industry basis, advances for positions in diversified telecom services, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals made the most substantial contributions to gains.
During the period, we sold holdings such as Petroleo Brasileiro (Brazil), Cemex (Mexico), and Michelin (France) as their market prices approached our estimates of their fair values. We purchased shares of companies such as Sanofi-Aventis (France), Daimler Chrysler AG (Germany), and Aegon NV (Netherlands) at prices that we consider attractive.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our investment philosophy continues to focus on fundamental company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we search for and hold stocks that are trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy may provide patient investors with favorable results.
As of April 30, 2005, the Fund’s most substantial country weighting was in Japan. On an industry basis, the Fund’s largest exposure was in diversified telecom services.
Keep in mind that the Fund’s weightings for countries and industries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions regarding interest rates, economic growth, or other macroeconomic variables. Instead, these weightings stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities in markets around the world.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution [and/or service] (12b–1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2004 to April 30, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) |
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. The ING Funds included in this report are comprised of ING Mutual Funds (“IMF”) and ING Mayflower Trust (“IMT”); both are organized as open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
IMF is a Delaware statutory trust organized in 1992 with ten separate series (“Funds”). The five included in this report are: ING Global Value Choice Fund (formerly, ING Worldwide Growth Fund, “Global Value Choice”), ING Emerging Countries Fund (“Emerging Countries”), ING Foreign Fund (“Foreign”), ING International Fund (“International”) and ING International SmallCap Fund (formerly, ING International SmallCap Growth Fund, “International SmallCap”). IMT is a Massachusetts business trust organized in 1993 with one series (Fund), ING International Value Fund (“International Value”). The investment objective of each Fund is described in each Fund’s prospectus.
Each Fund offers one or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class M and Class Q (Classes A, B, C and M are presented in a separate annual report). The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. No class has preferential dividend rights. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the relative weighting of pro rata income and realized gain allocations and from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase.
Effective September 2, 2003, International Value was closed to new investments except for shares purchased (1) through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions; (2) by 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans that have selected International Value as an investment option prior to June 28, 2002; (3) by shareholders participating in mutual fund wrap fee programs who were invested in International Value prior to June 28, 2002; (4) by new 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans and new shareholders participating in mutual fund wrap fee programs subject to approval by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser based on their assessment of the Fund’s ability to invest the monies consistent with the Fund’s objectives in light of market conditions, the size of the purchase, and other relevant factors relating to International Value, or (5) by employees of the Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates. Proof of eligibility may be required. Employees of the Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates must identify themselves as such at the time of purchase. Failure to do so may result in a rejection of the purchase.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. For all Funds, investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale, securities traded in the over-the-counter-market, gold and silver bullion, platinum and palladium are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at that time. Debt securities are valued at prices obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities and may be adjusted based on the Fund’s valuation procedures. U.S. Government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics.
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Fund’s 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 net asset value may
34
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. If a significant event which is likely to impact the value of one or more foreign securities held by a Fund occurs after the time at which the foreign market for such security(ies) closes but before the time that a Fund’s net asset value is calculated on any business day, such event may be taken into account in determining the fair value of such security(ies) at the time a Fund calculates its net asset value. For these purposes, significant events after the close of trading on a foreign market may 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, the Board has authorized the use of one or more research services to assist with the determination of the fair value of foreign securities. Research services use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment, and 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. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest approximates market value.
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.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities that are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities.
D. Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or uses 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
35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Fund pays dividends and capital gains, if any, annually. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired.
The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, where by a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
G. Use of Estimates. Management of the Funds has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
H. Organization Expenses and Offering Costs. Costs incurred with the organization of the Funds were expensed as incurred. Costs incurred with the offering of shares of the Funds are deferred and amortized over a twelve-month period on a straight-line basis.
I. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Fund will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Fund. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. If the seller defaults, a Fund might incur a loss or delay in the realization of proceeds if the value of security collateralizing the repurchase agreement declines, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
J. Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan up to 30% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. Government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund.
36
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
K. Options Contracts. All Funds may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Funds may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
L. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Each 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 to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Each Fund may also invest in restricted securities which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be considered liquid pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board or may be deemed illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. Illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures approved by the Board.
M. Delayed Delivery Transaction. The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of these securities is identified in the Funds’ Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets sufficient to cover the purchase price.

NOTE 12 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
Foreign Securities (All Funds). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since investments of securities 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. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as from movements in currency, security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.
Emerging Markets Investments (All Funds). Because of less developed markets and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions, the risks of investing in foreign securities can be intensified in the case of investments in issuers domiciled or doing substantial business in emerging market countries.
NOTE 13 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. Government securities. The collateral must be in an amount equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security, however there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund. At October 31, 2004, the following Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

NOTE 14 — 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders were as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
NOTE 15 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
ING Investments, LLC (“Investments”), the adviser to the ING Funds, has reported to the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. Investments has advised the Board that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those produc ts by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Board.
Investments has advised the Board that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated. Based on the internal review, Investments has advised the Board that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.
More specifically, Investments reported to the Board that, at this time, these instances include the following:
• ING has identified three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”) has received a notice from the staff of the NASD informing IFD that it has made a preliminary determination to recommend that disciplinary action be brought against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with these arrangements. As permitted under NASD procedures, IFD may respond to the NASD staff before the staff makes a final recommendation.
• Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) has identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.
• ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.
• In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.
For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 9, 2004. These Forms 8-K can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Board are the only instances of such
45

NOTE 15 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
trading respecting the ING Funds. Investments reported to the Board that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance.
Accordingly, Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
• ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.
• ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.
• The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.
• ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.
• ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.
