Portfolio Turnover % of average value of portfolio Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies with varying market capitalizations of any size. The Fund primarily invests in the equity securities of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization U.S. companies that the sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") believes have above average prospects for growth. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in securities of foreign companies. The Fund may also invest in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities and initial public offerings. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments including, but not limited to, put options, call options, and futures. The Fund may use derivatives to substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset, and/or to seek to enhance returns in the Fund. The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act"). The Fund's investment strategy uses a stock selection process that combines the discipline of quantitative screens with rigorous fundamental security analysis. The quantitative screens focus the fundamental analysis by identifying the stocks of companies with strong business momentum that demonstrate relative price strength, and have a perceived value not reflected in the current price. The objective of the fundamental analysis is to confirm the persistence of the company's revenue and earnings growth, and validate the expectations for earnings estimate revisions, particularly relative to consensus estimates. A determination of reasonable valuation for individual securities is based on the judgment of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as limited upside potential left in the stock, deteriorating fundamentals, or to redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 30% of its total assets. You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Fund performance or cause the Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds. Company   The price of a given company's stock could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, or business challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless. Currency   To the extent that the Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Derivative Instruments   Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in interest rates and liquidity risk. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and reduce its returns. Foreign Investments   Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments. Growth Investing   Prices of growth stocks typically reflect high expectations for future company growth, and may fall quickly and significantly if investors suspect that actual growth may be less than expected. Growth companies typically lack any dividends that might cushion price declines. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than value stocks, and may underperform the market as a whole over any given time period. Initial Public Offerings   Initial Public Offerings ("IPOs") and companies that have recently gone public have the potential to produce substantial gains for the Fund. However, there is no assurance that the Fund will have access to profitable IPOs or that IPOs in which the Fund invests will rise in value. Furthermore, the value of securities of newly public companies may decline in value shortly after the IPO. When the Fund's asset base is small, the impact of such investments on the Fund's return will be magnified. If the Fund's assets grow, it is likely that the effect of the Fund's investment in IPOs on the Fund's return will decline. Investment Model   The manager's proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. Liquidity   If a security is illiquid, the Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Fund's manager might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the Fund's liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount the Fund could realize upon disposition. The Fund may make investments that become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perception. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund. Market   Stock prices may be volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. The stock market tends to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Market Capitalization   Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-sized companies causing the Fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger, fully-valued companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may decline significantly in market downturns. Other Investment Companies   The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Securities Lending   Securities lending involves two primary risks: "investment risk" and "borrower default risk." Investment risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of dividend-paying, large-capitalization issuers. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in this investment policy. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, warrants, and convertible securities. The sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") defines large-capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations that fall within the collective range of companies within the Russell 1000® Value Index ("Index") at the time of purchase. The market capitalization range will change with market conditions as the market capitalization range of the companies in the Index changes. The market capitalization of companies in the Index as of June 29, 2012 ranged from $670.9 million to $400.1 billion. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including companies located in countries with emerging securities markets, when the Sub-Adviser believes they present attractive investment opportunities. The Sub-Adviser seeks to construct a portfolio of securities with a dividend yield that exceeds the average dividend yield of the companies included in the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act"). The Sub-Adviser uses a valuation-based screening process to assist in the selection of companies according to criteria which include the following: <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:20px">an above-average dividend yield, and stability and growth of the dividend;</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:20px">market capitalization that is usually above $1 billion (although the Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in small- and mid-capitalization companies); and</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:20px">the potential for growth of the dividend yield over several years.</li></ul> The Sub-Adviser may from time to time select securities that do not meet all of these criteria. The Sub-Adviser then conducts intensive fundamental research on each company to evaluate its growth, profitability, and valuation characteristics. The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 331 / 3 % of its total assets. You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Fund performance or cause the Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds. Company   The price of a given company's stock could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, or business challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless. Convertible Securities   Convertible securities are securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stocks at a stated price or rate. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with debt securities, such as interest rate and credit risk. In addition, because convertible securities react to changes in the value of the stocks into which they convert, they are subject to market risk. Credit   Prices of bonds and other debt securities can fall if the issuer's actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay altogether. Currency   To the extent that the Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Dividend   Companies that issue dividend yielding equity securities are not required to continue to pay dividends on such securities. Therefore, there is the possibility that such companies could reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends in the future. Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets   Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets. Interest Rate   With bonds and other fixed rate debt securities, a rise in interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the security, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. Investment Model   The manager's proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. Liquidity   If a security is illiquid, the Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Fund's manager might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the Fund's liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount the Fund could realize upon disposition. The Fund may make investments that become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perception. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund. Market   Stock prices may be volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. The stock market tends to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods.

Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors.

Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may decline significantly in market downturns. Other Investment Companies   The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

Investment risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner. Value Investing   Securities that appear to be undervalued may never appreciate to the extent expected. Further, because the prices of value-oriented securities tend to correlate more closely with economic cycles than growth-oriented securities, they generally are more sensitive to changing economic conditions, such as changes in interest rates, corporate earnings and industrial production. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in this investment policy. The Fund normally invests in companies that the sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") believes have above average prospects for growth. For this Fund, mid-sized companies are those companies with market capitalizations that fall within the range of companies in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index at the time of purchase. Capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index will change with market conditions. The market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index as of June 29, 2012, ranged from $1.1 billion to $19.1 billion. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments including futures or index futures that have a similar profile to the benchmark of the Fund. The Fund typically uses derivatives for the purpose of maintaining equity market exposure on its cash balance. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities. The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act"). In managing the Fund, the Sub-Adviser uses a stock selection process that combines the discipline of quantitative screens with rigorous fundamental security analysis. The quantitative screens focus the fundamental analysis by identifying the stocks of companies with strong business momentum that demonstrate relative price strength, and have a perceived value not reflected in the current price. The objective of the fundamental analysis is to confirm the persistence of the company's revenue and earnings growth and validate the Sub-Adviser's expectations for earnings estimate revisions, particularly relative to consensus. A determination of reasonable valuation for individual securities is based on the judgment of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 331 / 3 % of its total assets. You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Fund performance or cause the Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds.

Derivative Instruments   Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in interest rates and liquidity risk. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and reduce its returns. Foreign Investments   Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments.

Market   Stock prices may be volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. The stock market tends to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. From time to time, the stock market may not favor the growth-oriented securities in which the Fund invests. Rather, the market could favor value-oriented securities or may not favor equities at all. Mid-Capitalization Company    Investments in mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risk than is customarily associated with larger, more established companies due to the greater business risks of smaller size, limited markets and financial resources, narrow product lines and the frequent lack of depth of management. Consequently, the securities of smaller companies may have limited market stability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than securities of larger, more established growth companies or the market averages in general. Other Investment Companies   The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of mid-capitalization companies. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in this investment policy. The sub-advisers define mid-capitalization companies as those companies with market capitalizations that fall within the collective range of companies within the Russell Midcap® Index and the S&P MidCap 400 Index at the time of purchase. Capitalization of companies in these indices will change with market conditions. As of June 29, 2012, this range was approximately $38.2 million to $19.1 billion. The Fund focuses on securities that the sub-advisers believe are undervalued in the marketplace. The Fund expects to invest primarily in securities of U.S.-based companies, but may also invest in securities of non-U.S. companies, including companies located in countries with emerging securities markets. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act"). RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. ("RBC GAM (US)") and Wellington Management Company, LLP ("Wellington Management") (each a "Sub-Adviser" and collectively "Sub-Advisers") provide the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Sub-Advisers act independently of each other and use their own methodology for selecting investments. ING Investments, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser, will determine the amount of Fund assets allocated to RBC GAM (US) and Wellington Management. RBC GAM (US) RBC GAM (US) uses a disciplined, bottom-up approach to select stocks for the Fund's portfolio with a focus on fundamental research and qualitative analysis. This analysis considers factors such as attractive and sustainable business fundamentals, financial strength, management strength, and low valuation. Wellington Management Wellington Management employs a contrarian approach to stock selection. The approach demands an emphasis on extensive research to identify stocks of companies that Wellington Management believes possess fundamentals that are not adequately reflected in the market price of their securities. Valuation techniques are a key component of the Wellington Management's investment approach. Wellington Management's determination of a stock's value is based on three primary criteria: its issuer's earnings power, growth potential, and price-to-earnings ratio. Wellington Management then selects the stocks whose issuers, in its opinion, have the most compelling blend of attractive valuation, a strong management team, and strong industry position. Each Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 331 / 3 % of its total assets. 2003-06-30 You could lose money on an investment in the Fund.

Real Estate Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs")    Investing in real estate companies and REITs may subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, and operating expenses in addition to terrorist attacks, war, or other acts that destroy real property.

The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in this investment policy. The sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") defines a real estate company as a company that: (i) derives at least 50% of its total revenue or earnings from owning, operating, developing, managing, and/or selling real estate; or (ii) has at least 50% of its assets invested in real estate. Companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may include REITs, master limited partnerships, real estate owners, real estate managers, real estate brokers, real estate dealers, and companies with substantial real estate holdings. The Sub-Adviser may invest in companies with any market capitalization. However, the Sub-Adviser will generally not invest in companies with a market capitalization of less than $100 million at the time of purchase. The Fund may also invest in convertible securities, initial public offerings, and Rule 144A securities. The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act"). The Sub-Adviser focuses on investments that generally provide income and also have the potential for long-term capital appreciation. The Sub-Adviser uses systematic, top-down research to evaluate property market conditions and trends to judge which market sectors offer potentially attractive returns. The Sub-Adviser uses proprietary analytical techniques to identify the securities which it believes will provide above-average cash flow yield and growth. Companies are evaluated for purchase and sale using several different qualitative and quantitative factors such as valuation, capital structure, management, and strategy. The Sub-Adviser will sell a security when it no longer meets these criteria. The Sub-Adviser's investment approach, with its emphasis on investments in companies primarily engaged in the real estate industry, is expected to produce a total return that is closely tied to the performance of the market for publicly traded real estate companies, including real estate investment trusts, which is a narrow segment of the overall U.S. stock market. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a single issuer. The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 331 / 3 % of its total assets. You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Fund performance or cause the Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds. Company   The price of a given company's stock could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, or business challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless. Concentration    As a result of the Fund "concentrating," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, its assets in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries or single country or region, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that has securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives. If securities in which the Fund concentrates fall out of favor, the Fund could underperform funds that have greater diversification. Credit    Prices of bonds and other debt securities can fall if the issuer's actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay altogether. Convertible Securities   Convertible securities are securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stocks at a stated price or rate. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with debt securities, such as interest rate and credit risk. In addition, because convertible securities react to changes in the value of the stocks into which they convert, they are subject to market risk. Initial Public Offerings    Initial Public Offerings ("IPOs") and companies that have recently gone public have the potential to produce substantial gains for the Fund. However, there is no assurance that the Fund will have access to profitable IPOs or that IPOs in which the Fund invests will rise in value. Furthermore, the value of securities of newly public companies may decline in value shortly after the IPO. When the Fund's asset base is small, the impact of such investments on the Fund's return will be magnified. If the Fund's assets grow, it is likely that the effect of the Fund's investment in IPOs on the Fund's return will decline. Interest Rate    With bonds and other fixed rate debt securities, a rise in interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the security, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. Investment Model    The manager's proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. Issuer Non-Diversification    The Fund is classified as a "non-diversified" investment company and, therefore, is subject to the risks of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, industries or foreign currencies, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Liquidity    If a security is illiquid, the Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Fund's manager might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the Fund's liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount the Fund could realize upon disposition. The Fund may make investments that become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perception. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund. Market    Stock prices may be volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. The stock market tends to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Market Capitalization    Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-sized companies causing the Fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger, fully-valued companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may decline significantly in market downturns. Other Investment Companies    The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Real Estate Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs")    Investing in real estate companies and REITs may subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, and operating expenses in addition to terrorist attacks, war, or other acts that destroy real property. Securities Lending    Securities lending involves two primary risks: "investment risk" and "borrower default risk." Investment risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. -0.0155 -0.001 -0.0589 -0.0155 -0.001 -0.0611 -0.0155 -0.001 -0.0591 -0.0155 -0.001 -0.077 -0.0155 -0.111 -0.0155 -0.001 -0.0568 -0.1292 Calendar Year Total Returns Class I (as of December 31 of each year) October 1, 2013 The Examples reflect applicable expense limitation agreements and/or waivers in effect, if any, for the one-year period and the first year of the three-, five-, and ten-year periods. 0.0488 -0.0217 0.0031 You could lose money on an investment in the Fund.

The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in this investment policy. The Fund normally invests in companies that the sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") believes have above average prospects for growth. For this Fund, smaller companies are those with market capitalizations that fall within the range of companies in the Russell 2000® Growth Index at the time of purchase. The Russell 2000® Growth Index is an index that measures the performance of small growth companies. Capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000® Growth Index will change with market conditions. The market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000® Growth Index as of June 29, 2012, ranged from $53.3 million to $3.8 billion. The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act"). The Sub-Adviser uses a disciplined combination of quantitative screens and bottom-up fundamental security analysis to build a broadly diversified portfolio of companies that the Sub-Adviser believes will have improving bottom lines with reasonable valuation, and whose stocks demonstrate relative strength. The focus of company analysis is upon the prospects for continuing bottom-line growth, balance sheet strength, and cash flow characteristics. A determination of reasonable valuation for individual securities is based on the judgment of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 331 / 3 % of its total assets. You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Fund performance or cause the Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds. Company   The price of a given company's stock could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, or business challenges.

The Fund may make investments that become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perception. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund. Market   Stock prices may be volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. The stock market tends to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. From time to time, the stock market may not favor the growth-oriented securities in which the Fund invests. Rather, the market could favor value-oriented securities or may not favor equities at all. Other Investment Companies   The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Securities Lending   Securities lending involves two primary risks: "investment risk" and "borrower default risk." Investment risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner. Small-Capitalization Company   Investments in small-capitalization companies may involve greater risk than is customarily associated with larger, more established companies due to the greater business risks of small size, limited markets and financial resources, narrow product lines and the frequent lack of depth of management. The securities of smaller companies are often traded over-the-counter and may not be traded in volume typical on a national securities exchange. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

Portfolio Turnover % of average value of portfolio Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies with varying market capitalizations of any size. The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common and preferred stocks, depositary receipts, and convertible securities. The Fund may also invest in derivatives which include, but are not limited to, rights and warrants. The Fund typically uses derivatives to seek to enhance returns in the Fund. Portfolio risk controls include: maximum of 35% in foreign companies; and maximum of 15% in securities of emerging markets (defined as any country not classified as developed by the MSCI World IndexSM ). The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act"). The Fund invests in equities that appear undervalued by applying a bottom-up process that considers absolute valuation and security pricing in the context of industry and market conditions. The sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") applies a rigorous approach to identify undervalued securities that are believed to be mispriced, misperceived, under-followed, and that have strong or improving business fundamentals. The research team performs extensive bottom-up research on companies and industries, focusing on qualitative factors such as management strength, shareholder orientation, barriers-to-entry, competitive advantage, and catalysts for growth. A broad range of quantitative metrics are applied, including price-to-discounted cash flow, price-to-book value, price-to-sales, and price-to-free cash flow. The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 331 / 3 % of its total assets. You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Fund performance or cause the Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds. Company   The price of a given company's stock could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, or business challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless. Convertible Securities   Convertible securities are securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stocks at a stated price or rate. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with debt securities, such as interest rate and credit risk. In addition, because convertible securities react to changes in the value of the stocks into which they convert, they are subject to market risk. Credit   Prices of bonds and other debt securities can fall if the issuer's actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay altogether. Currency     To the extent that the Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Derivative Instruments    Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in interest rates and liquidity risk. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and reduce its returns. Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets   Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets. Interest Rate     With bonds and other fixed rate debt securities, a rise in interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the security, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. Investment Model   The manager's proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. Liquidity    If a security is illiquid, the Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Fund's manager might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the Fund's liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount the Fund could realize upon disposition. The Fund may make investments that become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perception. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund. Market    Stock prices may be volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. The stock market tends to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Market Capitalization   Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-sized companies causing the Fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger, fully-valued companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may decline significantly in market downturns. Other Investment Companies   The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Securities Lending   Securities lending involves two primary risks: "investment risk" and "borrower default risk." Investment risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner. Value Investing   Securities that appear to be undervalued may never appreciate to the extent expected. Further, because the prices of value-oriented securities tend to correlate more closely with economic cycles than growth-oriented securities, they generally are more sensitive to changing economic conditions, such as changes in interest rates, corporate earnings and industrial production. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. <div style="display:none">~ http://www.ingfunds.com/role/ScheduleAverageAnnualTotalReturnsTransposedINGGrowthOpportunitiesFund column period compact * ~</div> Calendar Year Total Returns Class A (as of December 31 of each year) October 1, 2013 You could lose money on an investment in the Fund.
