PRESIDENT’S LETTER

(PHOTO OF SHAUN P. MATHEWS)

Dear Shareholder:

We are only half way through the year and investors have witnessed some remarkable events. We have seen market downturns following February’s single-day freefall in Chinese stocks and, here at home, there were similar repercussions after a drop in the U.S. sub-prime mortgage industry.

But there have also been many positive developments as well. Earnings and growth continue in the U.S. equities markets. At this writing, the Federal Reserve Board remains on hold with regard to additional interest rate increases. We also have witnessed several record-setting trading days in the markets.

So, what do we make of these contrasting signals? When friends and colleagues in the industry voice concerns about these seemingly divergent signposts, I remind them that such ongoing events are fairly normal and that they underscore the importance of a well-diversified investment strategy. Studies have shown that a portfolio

allocated across a diverse group of asset classes and investment sectors can help provide an investor with solid footing for the long-term, despite the short-term commotions.

We at ING Funds remain committed to providing our clients with a diverse and comprehensive line-up of innovative investment products — both domestically and globally, all designed as potential solutions to your investment needs, whatever your investing goals.

Sincerely,

(-s- Shaun P. Mathews)

MARKET PERSPECTIVE:      YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2007

In our semi-annual report, we described resilient stock markets in the face of a sudden loss of risk appetite and record oil prices. In the second half of our fiscal year, a number of shocks and corrections also struck. But again, by the time it was over, markets had mostly taken the upsets in stride. Global equities in the form of the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM(1) (“MSCI World Index”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends (“MSCI” for regions discussed below), gained 12.1% for the six months ended May 31, 2007 and a handsome 23.3% for the year ended May 31, 2007. In currencies, the U.S. dollar’s early strides were ultimately retraced on expectations that that European interest rates were on the way up while those in the U.S. were not. This sent the euro to a new all time closing high against the U.S. dollar on April 18, 2007 and the pound to its highest level in over 25 years. The yen, however, was buffeted by the “carry trade”, in which speculators borrow in yen at low interest and buy higher yielding securities in other currencies. For the six months ended May 31, 2007, the dollar fell 1.6% against the euro, 0.7% against the pound but gained 5.1% on the yen.

U.S. markets entered the second half of our fiscal year against a backdrop of a stable federal funds rate since June 2006 and a slowing economy dragged by a slumping housing market. By the end of December 2006, this was showing some signs of bottoming out, with unexpectedly good new and existing housing sales figures reported in the last few days of 2006, along with rebounding consumer confidence. Early reports in 2007 sustained this view and estimated fourth quarter 2006 gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was an impressive 3.5%.

But from February 2007, it soon became apparent that the improvement in housing figures had only reflected the mild weather of early winter. New starts, sales and prices were now falling. GDP growth was sharply revised down to 2.5%. To make matters worse the country’s largest sub-prime mortgage lenders were reporting major losses.

February 2007 was an unsettling month in other ways. The China stock market had practically doubled in 2006 and the long expected pull back eventually came on February 27th when the index fell 9%. The effect on sentiment was to shake relative risk strategies generally.

The housing gloom continued into the second quarter. Foreclosures in April 2007 were 62% higher than one year earlier. Any respite in new home sales was attributed to price discounts and incentives. Existing home prices were reported as falling in the first quarter of 2007 year over year for the first time since 1991. Homebuilder confidence was eroding fast. The effect on GDP was clear. Growth in the latest quarter was reported at below 1%, the lowest since 2003.

Yet the feeling persisted that while the sub-prime debacle was more serious than at first thought and its effect more pervasive, the chance of it tripping the economy into recession was remote. Other measures of activity held up rather well. The consumer was still spending. Unemployment remained light at 4.5%. Purchasing managers’ indices for both manufacturing and service industries surprised on the upside. A rebound seemed not far away.

U.S. fixed income markets saw a pronounced steepening of the yield curve during the second half of our fiscal year. Short Treasury yields fell and longer yields rose particularly in the last few months, surely reflecting the confidence-shaking events of February 2007, as well as the Federal Open Market Committee’s (“FOMC”) somewhat curious removal of its tightening bias on March 21, 2007, while still citing inflation as the predominant concern.

U.S. equities, represented by the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index(2) (“S&P 500® Index”) including dividends, stood up well to sub-prime mortgage lending issues and rose 10.3% for the second six months ended May 31, 2007 and finally on May 30, 2007 breaching its record set in March 2000. This was despite a 3.5% fall in reaction to events in China. Investors might have been depressed in anticipation of the first quarter in fifteen with less than double-digit year-over-year percentage profits growth for companies that make up the index. But, the average earnings growth rate that was emerging as our year ended was more than double what had been feared. Sentiment was also boosted by takeover activity, much of it from private equity firms able to draw from an apparently bottomless well of liquidity.

Internationally, the MSCI Japan® Index rose 11.35% for the six months ended May 31, 2007, amid the usual contradictory mix of economic statistics. GDP growth held up well after the fastest quarterly expansion in three years. Unemployment remained at a nine-year low. But consumer prices and wages started falling again, forcing the Bank of Japan, which raised interest rates in February 2007 to a still wafer-

thin 0.5%, to leave them there, keeping the carry trade in business. For the year ended May 31, 2007, the MSCI Japan® Index returned 15.56%. Europe ex UK® Index surged 17.2% in the second half on the basis of high consumer and business confidence, the lowest Eurozone unemployment since records began, benign inflation just below 2% and continuing merger and acquisition activity. This was despite two interest rate increases, higher German value-added-tax (“VAT”) and a strong euro. For the year ended May 31, 2007, the MSCI Europe ex UK® Index returned 31.0%. In the UK, a housing boom and robust service sector raised year over year GDP growth to 3.0% or close to it. The Bank of England raised rates twice to 5.5%, the highest in six years. But non-financial companies were making record profits. By the end of the fiscal year, retail sales were buoyant and consumer confidence was high. Again encouraged by mergers and acquisitions, the MSCI UK® Index responded with an 11.6% advance for the six months ended May 31, 2007 and for the year ended May 31, 2007 returned 20.2%.

ING REAL ESTATE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return consisting of long-term capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, CFA and Joseph P. Smith, CFA, Portfolio Managers, both of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 28.13% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International U.S. REIT Index (“MSCI U.S. REIT® Index”), which returned 30.37%, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s performance for the period was strong on an absolute basis. Stock selection was a positive contributor to relative performance but was offset by sector allocation decisions. Cash drag from even our modest cash position and our sector weightings to the apartment and hotel sectors detracted from overall returns. Security selection in the office, mall, health care, industrial and storage sectors was additive to relative performance. Our best performing office company investments include: Equity Office Properties (return of 69%), Highwoods Properties (return of 47%), Boston Properties, Inc. (return of 47%), and SL Green Realty Corp. (return of 44%). Equity Office Properties was taken private in February 2007 at a significant premium to its pre-announcement trading level.

In the mall sector, our overweight positions in Taubman Centers, Inc. (return of 46%), Simon Property Group, Inc. (return of 40%), and

Macerich Co. (return of 34%), contributed to positive relative performance in the last 12 months.

Security selection in the hotel and apartment sectors lagged the benchmark for the trailing 12-month period. Investments in Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and FelCor Lodging Trust, Inc. contributed to underperformance, as the returns on these stocks trailed the Fund’s benchmark.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Given the current economic environment, accelerating earnings outlook, and relative valuation, our favorite property sectors continue to be apartments, office, malls, and hotels.

We remain cautiously optimistic about the total return prospects for an actively managed portfolio of real estate company stocks. Valuations are elevated relative to historic norms, but this, in our opinion, appears justified given the moderate growth economic outlook and the improving fundamentals of commercial real estate markets.

The private market investment funds continue to support current real estate stock prices and valuations. Eleven real estate investment trust (“REIT”) merger and acquisition deals have been announced in 2007. We expect more deals to follow as private equity firms take advantage of the continuing lack of premium pricing for REITs relative to net asset values (“NAVs”). At the Fund’s year end, we estimate that the average REIT is trading at 2% discount to NAV. We continue to position the Fund to take advantage of this trend in our belief that, over the long-term, quality companies should trade at a premium to the NAV, not at a discount.

We believe real estate fundamentals remain attractive, and in our opinion the economy continues to walk the fine line between “not too hot” and

ING FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Fundamental Research Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return. The Fund is managed by Christopher Corapi, Portfolio Manager, of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 19.12% compared to Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500® Index”), which returned 22.79%, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection in consumer staples and industrials aided performance. In contrast, underderperformance during the period can largely be attributed to stock selection in information technology and energy.

Precision Castparts Corp. and General Cable Corp. were two industrial holdings that aided performance. Precision Castparts Corp. continues to be a beneficiary of strength in the aerospace market. We believe that this cycle could extend further than expected once established U.S. and Europe carriers re-enter the market and the next generation narrow-body planes are introduced. Our investment in companies with exposure to utility transmission and distribution, such as General Cable Corp., continue to benefit from utility company spending to increase the reliability of the electric grid. CVS Caremark Corp. was a top performer for the Fund during this period. We believe the company should see upside from several positive catalysts going forward including synergies

from its SavOn integration as well as its generic drug offerings and strong prescription growth.

In contrast, our decision not to own Apple, Inc., for a majority of the reporting period, within in the technology sector acted as a drag relative on performance. Excitement over the upcoming release of the company’s iPhone continued to drive its stock price higher. Our investment in Motorola, Inc. was hurt by disappointing handset sales during the holiday season causing inventory concerns. Evergreen Energy, Inc. and Weatherford international Ltd.

were the largest performance drags in the energy sector. Weatherford International Ltd. was hurt by a sharp and unanticipated decline in natural gas prices in the third quarter of 2006. Finally, our investment in Evergreen Energy, Inc., a company with a potentially revolutionary coal cleaning process, underperformed as management failed to deliver on performance milestones we had viewed as within reach. The positions in Motorola, Inc., Weatherford International Ltd. and Evergreen Energy, Inc. have been eliminated from the Fund.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Currently, we believe the Fund is positioned in companies which have strong or improving competitive positions, robust end markets and/or superior capital allocation opportunities. Furthermore, we believe each stock possesses an attractive valuation and a clear catalyst to improve it. A few of the Fund’s top portfolio positions included Precision Castparts Corp. (discussed above), Mirant Corp., Allegheny Technologies, Inc. and Qualcomm, Inc.

We continue to like companies that have exposure to the aerospace market and we have emphasized suppliers such as Precision Castparts Corp. and Allegheny Technologies, Inc. over manufacturers. In our opinion, we see greater opportunities for

these companies to augment their earnings power during an upcycle. We also believe Mirant Corp. will continue to benefit from rising power prices, exposure to regions with supply constraints and takeover speculation. Finally, we believe Qualcomm, Inc. will be a beneficiary of the move in the cellular industry to third generation technologies that increase capacity and integrate data services on wireless networks. We expect strength in chipsets and handsets will continue to benefit the company going forward.

ING LARGECAP GROWTH FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING LargeCap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Andrew J. Schilling and John A. Boselli, Portfolio Managers of Wellington Management Company, LLP — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 16.04% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index and the Russell 1000® Index, which returned 20.37% and 22.93%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: U.S. equity markets rose strongly for the period, boosted by strong earnings growth and hopes that the U.S. Federal Reserve Board may have achieved an economic “soft landing,” characterized by a slowing rate of growth and modest inflation. Generally, growth stocks continued to trail their value counterparts, as the Russell 1000® Growth Index’s 20.37% return was well below the 25.58% return posted by the Russell 1000® Value Index. In a reversal of trends seen over the last several years, smaller stocks lagged their larger peers: the small company Russell 2000® Index rose 18.92% for the period, behind the Russell 1000® Index’s 22.93% return.

The Fund’s sub-par performance was due primarily to stock selection, with particular weakness among information technology, financials, and consumer staples stocks. Allocation among sectors, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, was slightly positive. More than half of the Fund’s underperformance was due to information

technology holdings, concentrated in three stocks: Marvell Technology Group, Ltd, SanDisk Corp., and Motorola, Inc. Global semiconductor company Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. declined on weak earnings and lowered guidance. We eliminated our position during the period. Shares in communications equipment and services company, Motorola, Inc. declined after reporting disappointing revenue growth due to shortfalls in cell phone and infrastructure sales. We eliminated our holdings due to weakening industry fundamentals. Flash storage device maker SanDisk Corp.’s shares fell as price declines in NAND flash memory raised concerns about an over-supplied market. We eliminated our position. Other stocks that detracted from results during the period included regional bank Commerce Bancorp, Inc. and medical devices company Medtronic, Inc.

Several stocks boosted performance during the year. Shares in pharmaceutical firm Schering-Plough Corp. rose on strong results and investor enthusiasm for the announced acquisition of Organon USA, Inc. We believe the deal will be accretive with marketing and sales synergies, an attractive combined hospital franchise, and premier animal health capabilities. The company is also benefiting from sales of cholesterol drugs Vytorin and Zetia. Franklin Resources, Inc., a global investment management company, saw its shares rise with strong net asset flows. Graphic design and publishing software company Adobe System, Inc.’s stock rose sharply on expectations that the launch of Acrobat 8 signals the start of a new product cycle. Within the high-performing materials sector, our position in Canadian fertilizer firm Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan outperformed on strong demand and pricing, while shares in Brazilian mining company Cia Vale do Rio Doce ADR rose on strong markets for iron ore and nickel.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Our investment approach is very much a “bottom-up” process: we pick one stock at a time based upon the attractiveness of each company’s valuation and fundamentals. As a result of this bottom up stock picking, at the end of the period we were most overweight information technology, telecommunication services, and industrials. Significant technology holdings included networking giant Cisco Systems, Inc., enterprise software company Oracle Corp., and

ING MIDCAP OPPORTUNITIES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING MidCap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Richard Welsh and Jeff Bianchi, Portfolio Managers, both of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 18.49% compared to the Russell Midcap® Growth Index and the Russell Midcap® Index, which returned 21.34% and 23.76%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Russell Midcap® Growth Index gained 21.34% for the year ended May 2007. A major driver was corporate profit growth which consistently beat expectations during the period. The huge build-up in corporate cash flow resulted in accelerated takeover and buyback activity, which supported higher prices. In addition, private equity activity increased throughout the year much of which was focused on mid-cap companies. Global liquidity was abundant, which led to increased appetite for risk amidst a low interest rate environment.

All sectors delivered double-digit returns for the year, led by materials, utilities, and telecommunication services. Materials returned 43%, largely led by containers & packaging and metals & mining industries. Utilities returned 40%, and telecom’s 36% gain was largely influenced by the wireless segment.

Consumer staples and information technology each posted the weakest return at 15%. Consumer staples results were held back by food retailing, while the primary laggards in information technology were computers and peripherals. The energy sector was the next weakest as it returned 19%.

Industry Allocation

as of May 31, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)

(PIE CHART)

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

Sector allocation (particularly in energy, materials, and consumer discretionary) accounted for all of the underperformance. Stock selection was positive for the period with strong relative returns in industrials, energy, and consumer discretionary.

Luxury retailer Coach, Inc. was the biggest contributor to performance. The company experienced positive business trends from new lines of its core products, the addition of jewelry and other accessories, and strong sales from department store channels. Much of this activity was related to Coach, Inc.’s anniversary year celebration. McDermott International, Inc, an engineering services company, benefited from strong demand for offshore platforms and pipelines. From a regional standpoint, revenue growth accelerated in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the Caspian regions, and backlog execution has been good. Medco Health Solutions, Inc. reported very strong results due to benefits from generic prescription trends. Medco Health Solutions, Inc. was also helped by the perception that one of their largest competitors was distracted as they were in the midst of being acquired.

Medical device company, Hospira, Inc. was the worst-performing stock in the Fund followed by Citrix Systems, Inc., a supplier of access information software and services. Hospira, Inc., which was spun off by Abbott Laboratories, encountered operating profit pressures during second quarter 2006 due to research and development expenditures, freight and distribution costs and other items related to the spin off. Citrix Systems, Inc. experienced weak licensing growth in its core presentation products. Gen-Probe, Inc., a diagnostic test manufacturer, underperformed despite reporting strong results as uncertainty on the timing of approvals for new products at the Food and Drug Administration weighed on the stock.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The market reached a high for the year spurred by above-consensus earnings, better economic prospects and strong

takeover and buyback activity. In our opinion, somewhat brighter economic prospects, coupled with high core inflation and rising energy prices, have eliminated market expectations for a lower federal funds rate this year. This thinking is consistent with the view we have held, and even the back-up of 10-year Treasury yields to over 5% is not surprising. We believe the headwinds of higher inflation and interest rates should continue to support earnings growth factors that are an integral part of our investment process. We remain confident in our investment philosophy and focus on companies that have strong business momentum, market recognition and appropriate valuations.

ING OPPORTUNISTIC LARGECAP FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Opportunistic LargeCap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Omar Aguilar, Ph.D., Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 22.11% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 20.37%, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Russell 1000® Growth Index gained 20.37% for the year ended May 31, 2007 driven by higher-than-expected corporate profit growth. For the same period, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 22.11%.

Valuation and earnings quality factors benefited returns while market recognition detracted from performance. Specific valuation factors that were strong included forward price to earnings and price to cash flow. In quality, capital expenditure normalized by rate of returns worked well. Market recognition factors that did not work well during the year were long-term momentum and analyst estimate revisions.

Industry Allocation

as of May 31, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)

(PIE CHART)

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

Overweight allocation to financials and materials benefited the Fund. These gains were partially offset by underweights in information technology and utilities.

Stock selection was the main driver of performance during the period particularly in consumer discretionary, energy, and information technology.

Top individual contributors were WellCare Health Plans, Inc., BMC Software and Guess?, Inc. In contrast, underweight positions in Microsoft Corp. and Apple, Inc. acted as a drag on performance.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Our research builds structured portfolios of stocks with fundamental characteristics that we believe will translate into a performance advantage over the benchmark. Our analysis positions the Fund to capitalize on what we believe are high quality companies with superior business momentum, growing earnings and attractive valuations.

At the end of the twelve-month period, the Fund was overweight consumer discretionary and materials and underweight industrials and information technology.

ING SMALLCAP OPPORTUNITIES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Steve Salopek, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 18.61% compared to the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which returned 17.56% and 18.92%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Despite the significant headwinds of slower economic growth, higher oil prices and the sub-prime mortgage market implosion, small-cap stocks generally fared well for the period. Performance was impacted positively by strong corporate earnings and the merger and acquisition activity. Access to an easy credit environment helped drive growth.

All sectors rose for the period with utilities, materials and industrials contributing most to performance, as these sectors gained 40%, 35% and 20%, respectively. Stock selection was the main performance driver over the period led by financials, materials and industrials. In contrast, selection in consumer sectors detracted from returns.

WebEx Communications, Inc. and Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc. contributed significantly to performance over the period. WebEx Communications, Inc. engages in the development and marketing of web services. On March 15, 2007, it was announced that WebEx Communications, Inc. would be acquired by Cisco Systems, Inc. at $57

a share in cash, which represented a significant premium to the stock price. Prior to the announcement, WebEx Communications, Inc. was up sharply since the beginning of 2007 due to a strong fourth-quarter earnings report. Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc., which produces and markets iron ore pellets, consistently delivered strong earnings. Fundamentals in the steel industry remained strong, as both pricing and inventories improved. In the first quarter of 2007, the company also announced the new development of a coal and an iron ore mine.

Komag, Inc. and Carter’s, Inc. were two of the largest detractors from performance. Komag, Inc., which is in the hard disk drive business, performed poorly as the company is at the end of their inventory and the beginning of its product cycle, which has significant incremental cost. The price of the raw materials used in the company’s manufacturing process also increased. The weakness of the U.S. dollar also acted as a drag, as part of the company’s manufacturing is done in Asia. We continue to hold this stock as it has strong cash flows and a very attractive valuation. Moreover, we believe that demand will increase for personal computers due to the launch of Microsoft Corp.’s Vista operating system. We also expect inventories to decrease due to seasonality, as sales typically improve over the holidays. Carter’s, Inc., which is a retailer and wholesaler of children’s clothes, performed poorly due to problems in their retail operations and the company lowered guidance for the first quarter of this year. This decline in guidance was worse than we expected and we do not think that the company will be able to turn its retail business around quickly enough to deliver positive returns in 2007. We eliminated our position in the company.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Consistent with our investment process, we continue to focus on companies with strong balance sheets and cash flow generation capabilities. We are defensively positioned in financials, as we are invested in banks that have high reserves, are over capitalized, diversified, and pay high dividends. We are less exposed to real estate investment trusts, as we believe that the real estate market is

We believe companies in this sector will perform well despite a moderating economy. In healthcare, the Fund is leveraged to gain from the strong demands and needs for behavioral health providers. We are invested in the healthcare equipment suppliers with niche franchises, as well as disease management providers.

ING FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Financial Services Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Robert M. Kloss and Steven L. Rayner, Portfolio Managers, of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 18.80% compared to Standard & Poor’s 500 Financials Index (“S&P 500 Financials Index”) and the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500® Index”), which returned 18.92% and 22.79%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Despite generally strong equity markets, the year for financial stocks was characterized by what we perceived as growing risks. This assessment caused us to tilt the Fund more defensively, by taking profits in some capital markets companies, maintaining our underweight of spread-based banks, and eliminating companies with weaker balance sheets. While we still maintained a mix of both economically offensive and defensive holdings, our incremental defensive positioning during the period was not entirely rewarding, as equity markets appreciated and investor risk premiums remained low.

The steady upward progression of financial stocks over the period was only temporarily disrupted by the “sub-prime mortgage meltdown” of late February and early March of 2007. A sudden increase in delinquencies and foreclosures among borrowers with less-than-perfect credit, led to a raft of lender bankruptcies, which exacerbated an already-contracting housing market and caused a short-lived sell-off in the industry. Sub-prime woes were fairly contained and failed to spread directly to prime borrowers. As a result, financials staged a recovery that brought returns to their highs for the fiscal year.

Our holdings in insurance stocks, including both life insurers and property/casualty companies, were the largest contributors to performance over the period, as an overweight position and stock selection benefited

performance. Strong book value growth and relatively few catastrophes aided the property and casualty industry, where we also benefited by avoiding the very competitive personal line companies. Instead, we favored secular recovery companies in the insurance brokerage sub-group. Investments in select capital markets companies also proved profitable. These included asset managers, online brokers, and trust banks. An underweight position in banks also aided returns, as that group underperformed financials as a whole.

Consolidation activity in the richly-priced real estate investment trust (“REIT”) market continued to support the flood of liquidity into the sector, where our valuation discipline kept us in an underweight stance, as a result, we underperformed relative to the benchmark. Though the handful of REIT stocks we did own, these returned among the highest in all of financials sector.

In contrast, despite our market weight position in consumer finance, individual stock selection hurt the Fund’s performance in areas where consumer credit weakened during the early part of 2007, particularly with respect to companies with exposure to non-prime mortgage markets.

On an individual security basis, positions in property and casualty insurers Axis Capital Holdings Ltd. and Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd., bond insurer Security Capital Assurance Ltd., and insurance broker Willis Group all benefited returns. The insurers were buoyed by growth in investment income and lower claims costs from catastrophes, and Willis was helped by better-than-expected organic growth. Metlife, Inc. stood out among life insurers, as sales of real estate and other non-core assets provided capital for its stock buyback program. Asset managers Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. and Franklin Resources, Inc. produced notable returns bolstered by supportive equity markets, as did online broker TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. and The Bank of New York Co., Inc.

In contrast, Capital One Financial Corp. depressed returns as problems surfaced in their recently-acquired North Fork Bancorp., Inc. banking and mortgage lending operation, and in their U.K. credit card unit. Mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp. was also negatively impacted by the meltdown in sub-prime loans, which unsettled mortgage investors and lowered the value of loans the company typically sells in secondary markets. We sold our position in Countrywide Financial Corp. based on our concerns about the potential length and depth of the housing downturn. Life insurer Conseco, Inc. proved detrimental to performance when a debt rating upgrade did not materialize as expected, prompting us to liquidate the position.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We were skeptical of the potential for the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) to ease short-term lending rates in 2007. To date, we have been correct in this regard. With the Fed ’on hold’ and longer-term rates trending up, we continue to favor a mix of more aggressive and defensive stocks, while remaining cognizant of possible Fed easing in 2008.

With any rate relief seemingly pushed out to next year, we have remained cautious on companies with spread-based earnings, in favor of those less dependent on either a favorable yield curve or on the strength in housing and consumer credit markets. We believe the economy is not yet out of the woods with respect to housing-related concerns where the downturn may prove longer and deeper than some have forecast.

ING LARGECAP VALUE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING LargeCap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (“Brandes”), the Sub-Adviser. The Fund is managed by Glenn R. Carlson, CFA, Chief Executive Officer, Brent V. Woods, CFA, Managing Director, Amelia Maccoun Morris, CFA, Director, W. James Brown, CFA, Director, and Brent Fredberg, Senior Analyst of Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 27.32% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index and the Russell 1000® Index, which returned 25.58% and 22.93%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Gains for holdings in the pharmaceuticals, diversified telecommunication services, and food & staples retailing industries generally had the most positive impact upon performance during the period. Among these industries, positions such as Merck (pharmaceuticals), Verizon Communications (diversified telecommunication services), and Safeway (food & staples retailing) made the most significant contributions to returns. Fund holdings outside of these industries also advancing in the period included Whirlpool (household durables) and Intel (semiconductors & semiconductor equipment).

Conversely, declines for individual holdings such as Micron Technology (semiconductors & semiconductor equipment), Tenet Healthcare (health care providers & services), and The McClatchy Company (media) tended to weigh on overall results.

The Fund’s relative performance to the Russell 1000® Value Index was

helped by stock selection in the pharmaceuticals and food staples & retailing industries. The Fund also received positive relative contribution from overweight exposure to the diversified telecommunication services and computers & peripherals industries. However, stock selection in the health care providers & services industries weighed on relative returns. The Fund’s underweight exposure to the oil, gas & consumable fuels industry detracted from relative performance. We invest in firms that we believe offer a “margin of safety” — companies selling at a price below our estimate of fair value. We believe many companies in the industries where we have low exposure do not currently offer compelling values. We believe quality businesses with attractive margins of safety represent compelling opportunities for long-term gains.

Please note that the Fund’s industry exposure is a result of our focus on the fundamentals and valuations of individual companies, not by any “industry allocation” decision. Considering short-term market fluctuations and our long-term perspective, we believe attribution analysis, particularly in periods less than five years, provides minimal benefit.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Over the twelve-month period, we purchased shares in a number of companies at prices that we consider attractive. New purchases included Boston Scientific (health care equipment & supplies), Dell (computers & peripherals), and Johnson & Johnson (pharmaceuticals). We sold our positions in companies such as Schering-Plough (pharmaceuticals), Loews (insurance), and Mattel (leisure equipment & products) as their market prices advanced toward our estimates of intrinsic value.

As of May 31, 2007, the Fund’s most significant weighting was in the pharmaceuticals industry.

ING MAGNACAP FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING MagnaCap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth of capital, with dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund is managed by Scott Lewis, Senior Portfolio Manager, of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 23.24% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index and the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500® Index”), which returned 25.58% and 22.79%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund benefited from stock selection in consumer discretionary and utilities. In contrast, our decision to underweight telecommunication services and utilities, the best-performing sectors during this period, detracted from relative performance. The Fund was also hurt by stock selection in energy.

In consumer discretionary, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and Boyd Gaming Corp. performed well during the period. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. benefited from business divestitures, cost cutting initiatives, and strength in its emerging market businesses. We expect the company to be further bolstered by future pricing increases and flat raw materials costs. Since we purchased Boyd Gaming Corp. in August 2006, the stock has risen significantly on

takeover speculation. We decided to sell the position in February due to increased competition from Pennsylvania casinos as well as concerns over the impact of Atlantic City’s new smoking ban. Mirant Corp. was a utility company that helped performance as it continues to benefit from rising power prices, exposure to regions with supply constraints and takeover rumors.

Within the energy sector, Peabody Energy Corp., Weatherford International Ltd. and Evergreen Energy, Inc. acted as the biggest drags on performance. Peabody Energy Corp. and Weatherford International Ltd. were both hurt by a sharp and unanticipated decline in natural gas prices. Finally, our investment in Evergreen Energy, Inc., a company with a potentially revolutionary coal cleaning process, underperformed as management failed to deliver on performance milestones we had viewed as well within reach. The Weatherford International Ltd. and Evergreen Energy, Inc. position have been eliminated.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Currently, the Fund is positioned in companies which we believe have strong or improving competitive positions, robust end markets and/or superior capital allocation opportunities. Furthermore, each stock possesses an attractive valuation and a clear catalyst to improve it. A few of the top portfolio bets include: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (discussed above); Plains Exploration and Production Co.; The Bank of New York Co., Inc.; InfraSource Services, Inc; and General Cable Corp.

We believe Plains Exploration and Production Co. should benefit from the monetization of its off-shore wells in the Gulf of Mexico.

We find this company attractive given its efforts to improve its balance sheet by increasing share buybacks. We believe that The Bank of New York Co., Inc.’s merger with Mellon Financial Corp. will achieve greater synergies than Wall Street expects given the bank’s high free cash flow. We continue to like companies such as, InfraSource Services, Inc. and General Cable Corp., which continue to benefit from robust utility company spending.

ING SMALLCAP VALUE CHOICE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING SmallCap Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Phyllis G. Thomas, CFA, Managing Director, of NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC (“NWQ”), Robert A. Schwarzkopf, CFA & Sandi L. Gleason, CFA both of Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC (“Kayne”) and Omar Aguilar, Ph.D. & Vincent Costa, CFA both of ING Investment Management Co. (“ING IM”) — the Sub-Advisers.(1)

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 17.82% compared to the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which returned 20.28% and 18.92%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: NWQ: The Fund’s performance was very strong on an absolute basis but trailed the Russell 2000® and Russell 2000® Value benchmarks over the twelve months ending May 31, 2007. The Fund benefited primarily from sector weightings. The producer durables, technology and consumer discretionary sectors provided the strongest returns for the one year period. The overweight producer durables sector, including top performer General Cable Corp., significantly contributed to the Fund’s total return. In addition, the underweight technology sector contributed positive results through excellent stock selection. The Fund was underweight in the outperforming consumer discretionary sector, but stock selection in this sector contributed strongly to performance. An overweight position combined with poor stock selection in the material and processing sector detracted from performance. Although underweight, the underperforming finance sector negatively impacted the portfolio returns as well.

Industry Allocation

as of May 31, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)

(PIE CHART)

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

The largest positive contribution to performance was generated by holdings in General Cable Corp., Fossil, Inc., CommScope Inc. and Hooker Furniture Corp. The four largest negative contributors were Gibraltar Industries, Inc., HomeBanc Corp., Indymac Bancorp Inc. and Griffon Corp. While we have trimmed General Cable Corp. and Fossil, Inc., Commscope, Inc. and Hooker Furniture Corp. still offer good appreciation potential. Gibraltar Industries, Inc. is a manufacturer, processor and distributor of residential and commercial building products, and processed metal products for industrial application. Impacted by the slow down in the auto and residential construction markets, the company’s unique business model generates a majority of its revenue from value added manufactured products, enabling it to achieve fairly stable margins regardless of steel prices. During the period we added to our position in Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Griffon Corp’s stock is very depressed reflecting the short term execution issues in its garage door and specialty chemicals segments. We believe the company is making good progress on fixing these businesses. Mortgage originator, Indymac Bancorp, faced selling pressures as subprime problems have impacted the entire industry. With management focused on lowering expenses, in our opinion the company should be positioned to gain market share as weaker participants leave the industry. HomeBanc Corp. continues to be impacted by the downturn in the mortgage industry as well. Management is acting to reduce the cost of business and should begin serious efforts to look for potential merger or buyout opportunities.

Kayne: During the Fund’s brief period through May 31, 2007, the stock market performed well as risk premiums lingered around historic lows and lower quality stocks prevailed in the marketplace. The apparent trends in S&P’s stock rankings and credit ratings clearly illustrated investors’ indifference towards risk, as stocks ranked B to D were the best performers during the period, while A-ranked stocks were the worst. Moreover, stocks financed with “junk bonds” outperformed the benchmark. Due to the low-quality headwinds, our high-quality Fund underperformed the Russell 2000® Value Index during the short period since it commenced. Technology and capital goods added value to the Fund relative to the Russell 2000® Value Index. Positive stock selection in both sectors contributed to performance. Conversely, materials and consumer discretionary stocks detracted from performance due to negative stock selection. Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. a manufacturer and seller of welding and cutting products worldwide, was the highest contributor to performance, as the company is seeing good growth in its international operations. The lowest contributor to performance during the period was World Fuel Services Corp., a marketer of aviation and marine fuel to airlines and shipping companies worldwide. The stock suffered following reports of a fourth-quarter decline in operating income; however, we continue to hold a position in the stock because of its, in our opinion, profitable business model and continued strong growth prospects.

ING IM: An overweight position in energy benefited the Fund. Theses gains were partially offset by an underweight position in industrials.

Security selection in energy and financials added to returns. Notable performers in energy included overweight positions in USEC and Bristow Group, as both gained due to strong earnings on the back of the rise in oil prices. In financials, top contributors included overweight positions in LandAmerica Financial Group and MAF Bancorp, Inc. which surged due to a buyout bid by National City.

In contrast, security selection in industrials hurt performance, particularly an underweight position in Deluxe, as the stock gained on the back of positive earnings news.

Current Strategy and Outlook: NWQ: In our opinion, the markets have been quite strong recently reflecting lessening concern about the economy and a flurry of mergers by strategic and private equity buyers. Corporate borrowing rates remain quite low relative to those of the U.S. Treasury, which we believe has contributed to the positive bias for the stock market. In our opinion, there are some early signs, however, of some buyer resistance to “covenant lite” bond deals to finance more leveraged private equity deals. This may be contributing to the increased volatility in the stock market in recent weeks. In this environment, NWQ will continue to pursue a disciplined valuation process that is particularly focused on having an attractive risk/reward in the Fund. While the markets have been robust, we continue to find attractive investment opportunities.

Kayne: After reaching peak profitability in 2006, corporate profits broke a string of double-digit increases in operating earnings, as the companies in the S&P 500® Index posted single-digit profit gains in the fourth quarter of 2006 for the first time in 18 quarters. We believe that a decelerating profit environment may prompt investors to rotate to higher quality companies because of their dependable earnings streams, such as those in the Fund. As always, we endeavor to manage the Fund with what we believe are the highest quality businesses, outgrowing their markets, purchased at discount values.

ING IM: Our research builds structured portfolios of stocks with fundamental characteristics that we believe will translate into a performance advantage over the benchmark. Our analysis positions the Fund to capitalize on what we believe are high quality companies with superior business momentum, growing earnings and attractive valuations.

At the end of the period, the Fund was overweight energy and consumer staples and underweight materials and consumer discretionary.


(1) On March 2, 2007, the Board of Trustees of ING Equity Trust approved the addition of Kayne, LLC and ING IM as an additional sub-advisers to the Fund.

ING VALUE CHOICE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Value Choice Fund(1) (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by David B. Iben, CFA, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC(2) — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 24.60% compared to the Russell Midcap® Value Index and the Russell Midcap® Index, which returned 26.42% and 23.76%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The materials sector was the largest contributor to performance during the period. Base metal mining holding Apex Silver Mines Ltd. was the best individual performer during the period. The stock had been plagued for most of the past 12 months over political concerns that Bolivia’s plan to nationalize its oil and gas industry would extend to the mining industry. However, in May, the Bolivian government stated that the country would honor previously issued mining licenses and favorably changed its tax stance. The company’s share price rose sharply after these announcements. Mosaic Co., which produces and markets crop nutrient and animal feed products, also performed well, due to rising demand for phosphate-based fertilizers and a successful operational and financial restructuring program.

Two other significant contributors to positive performance were consumer staples holdings Tyson Foods, Inc., the world’s largest diversified protein provider and supplier of beef, chicken, and pork to the global marketplace and Smithfield Foods Inc., a leading pork processor and hog producer. Both stocks exhibited several price corrections throughout the period which we used as buying

opportunities. The Fund benefited from strong price appreciation over the past six months which was enhanced by our overweight position in each of these companies.

The benchmark’s heavily weighted financial sector was the largest contributor to Russell Midcap® Value Index performance during the period. In contrast, the Fund was significantly underexposed to this sector and due to two holdings, the Fund’s

financial sector detracted from performance. Acom Co. Ltd. and Promise Co. Ltd. are among the top consumer finance companies in Japan but have experienced significant stock price declines over the past year due to investor concerns over regulatory changes and legal challenges. We continue to carefully monitor the potential risk/reward profile of these two companies.

Korean-based Samsung SDI, one of the world’s largest cathode ray tube and plasma display panel manufacturers, suffered during the period due to increased competition and price deterioration of its products. We continue to believe the company is a quality franchise, with a strong balance sheet and dominant market share. The stock price of Levitt Corp., a homebuilding and real estate development company in the Southeastern United States, surged at the end of January after BFC Financial Corp. announced its agreement to buy the homebuilder. These gains eroded quickly, however, as concerns mounted over the company’s high inventory impairment charges. The stock finished the period as the Fund’s worst performer.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Although today’s markets offer a challenging environment, we continue to look for buying opportunities created by investor over-reaction to such things as inclement weather, lower than expected earnings announcements, unfavorable court rulings and regulatory changes, political risk, etc. At Tradewinds, we invest in companies that we feel trade below their intrinsic value and are mispriced by the market. We favor strong business franchises with significant barriers to entry that have the potential to create value over the long-term. We continue to believe the Fund is well positioned in food, agriculture,

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b–1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007. The Funds’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 

Expenses are equal to each Fund’s respective annualized expense ratios multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half-year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Shareholders and Board of Directors/ Trustees

ING Equity Trust and ING Investment Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of ING Real Estate Fund, ING Fundamental Research Fund, ING LargeCap Growth Fund, ING MidCap Opportunities Fund, ING Opportunistic LargeCap Fund, ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund, ING Financial Services Fund, ING LargeCap Value Fund, ING SmallCap Value Choice Fund, and ING Value Choice Fund (formerly, ING MidCap Value Choice Fund), each a series of ING Equity Trust, and ING MagnaCap Fund, a series of ING Investment Funds, Inc., as of May 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned funds as of May 31, 2007, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2007

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

Organization. The ING Funds included in this report are comprised of ING Equity Trust (“IET”) and ING Investment Funds, Inc. (“IIF”) (collectively, the “Trusts”), both organized as open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

IET is a Massachusetts business trust organized on June 12, 1998 with twenty-four separate series. Ten of which are discussed in this report: ING Real Estate Fund (“Real Estate”), ING Fundamental Research Fund (“Fundamental Research”), ING LargeCap Growth Fund (“LargeCap Growth”), ING MidCap Opportunities Fund (“MidCap Opportunities”), ING Opportunistic LargeCap Fund (“Opportunistic LargeCap”), ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund (“SmallCap Opportunities”), ING Financial Services Fund (“Financial Services”), ING LargeCap Value Fund (“LargeCap Value”), ING SmallCap Value Choice Fund (“SmallCap Value Choice”) and ING Value Choice Fund (“Value Choice” formerly, ING MidCap Value Choice Fund). IIF is a Maryland Corporation organized on July 7, 1969 with one series, ING MagnaCap Fund (“MagnaCap”), collectively (the “Funds”). The investment objective of each Fund is described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Each Fund offers at least three of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class M, Class O and Class Q. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees (if any), shareholder servicing fees (if any) and transfer agency 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 Fund pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from 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.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. Such policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.

A.   Security Valuation. Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale and securities traded in the over-the-counter-market are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at that time. Debt securities are valued at prices obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities and may be adjusted based on the Funds’ valuation procedures. U.S. government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics.
 
  Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees/Directors (“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 (“NAV”) may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. The valuation techniques applied in any specific instance are likely to vary from case to case. With respect to a restricted security, for example, consideration is generally given to the cost of the investment, the market value of any unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of valuation, the potential expiration of restrictions on the security, the existence of any registration rights, the costs to the Funds related to registration of the security, as well as factors

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

relevant to the issuer itself. Consideration may also be given to the price and extent of any public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies’ securities.
 
  The value of a foreign security traded on an exchange outside the United States is generally based on the price of a foreign security on the principal foreign exchange where it trades as of the time a Fund determines its NAV or if the foreign exchange closes prior to the time the Fund determines its NAV, the most recent closing price of the foreign security on its principal exchange.
 
  Trading in certain non-U.S. securities may not take place on all days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Further, trading takes place in various foreign markets on days on which the NYSE is not open. Consequently, the calculation of a Fund’s NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of securities held by a Fund in foreign securities markets. Further, the value of a Fund’s assets may be significantly affected by foreign trading on days when a shareholder cannot purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. In calculating a Fund’s NAV, foreign securities in foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents.
 
  If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by a Fund closes but before the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represent a readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time a Fund determines its NAV. In such a case, a Fund will use the a value of such securities as determined under the Fund’s valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require the Fund to fair value some or all of its foreign securities include, among others, securities trading in the U.S. and other markets, corporate announcements, natural and other disasters, and political and other events. Among other elements of analysis in the determination of a security’s fair value, the Board has authorized the use of one or more independent research services to assist with such determinations. An independent research service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that the Fund could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, a Fund is not obligated to use the fair valuations suggested by any research service, and valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes a Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time a Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in a Fund’s NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less from the date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost, which, 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 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 and included in interest income.
 
  Real Estate estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions

73


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

 
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
 
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 which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statement 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 tax reclaims 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 the 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. Certain Funds 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 use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
  Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. Certain Funds intend to limit their use of futures contracts and futures options to “bona fide hedging” transactions, as such term is defined in applicable regulations, interpretations and practice. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund 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 margins 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

74

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

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 the ex-dividend date. Each Fund pays dividends, if any, as follows:

     
Annually
  Semi-Annually

 
Fundamental Research
LargeCap Growth
MidCap Opportunities
Opportunistic LargeCap
SmallCap Opportunities
Financial Services
LargeCap Value
SmallCap Value Choice
Value Choice
  MagnaCap

Quarterly

Real Estate

  Each Fund distributes capital gains, to the extent available, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
 
F.   Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired.
 
  The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain for income tax purposes.
 
G.   Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
H.   Repurchase Agreements. Each 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. There would be potential loss to a Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
 
I.   Options Contracts. Each Fund, except MagnaCap, may purchase put and call options. Each Fund may write (sell) put options. Each Fund, except Financial Services and MagnaCap, may write 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 covered call option is that the Funds give up the

75


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

 
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.
 
J.   Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan securities representing 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.   Organization Expenses and Offering Costs. Costs incurred with the organization of the Funds are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred with the offering of shares of the Funds are deferred and amortized over a period of twelve months.
 
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, except MagnaCap, also may 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 generally 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 to be illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. Illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the illiquid and restricted securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures approved by the Board.
 
M.   Delayed Delivery Transactions. Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis. Each Fund, except MagnaCap and Financial Services, may enter into forward commitments. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of such is identified in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets with the Funds’ custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
 
N.   Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. In connection with a Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis, the Funds may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In a dollar roll transaction, a Fund sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker/ dealer, and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon, and maturity) security from the institution on a delayed delivery basis at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. The Funds account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.
 
O.   Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be

76

estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES (continued)

ING Funds Services, LLC (the “Administrator” or “IFS”), serves as administrator to each Fund except Financial Services and MagnaCap. The Funds pay the Administrator a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of each Funds’ average daily net assets.

Financial Services and MagnaCap have entered into Shareholder Service Agreements with IFS whereby IFS will act as Shareholder Service Agent for the Funds. The agreement provides that IFS will be compensated for incoming and outgoing shareholder telephone calls and letters, and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services.

MidCap Opportunities and SmallCap Opportunities also pay IFS an annual shareholder account servicing fee of $5.00, payable semi-annually, for each account of beneficial owners of shares. For the year ended May 31, 2007, MidCap Opportunities and SmallCap Opportunities paid $258,184 and $116,827, respectively, in shareholder servicing fees.

The Investment Adviser, ING IM, INGCRES, IFS and the ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD” or the Distributor”) are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). ING Groep is one of the largest financial services organizations in the world, and offers an array of banking, insurance and asset management services to both individuals and investors.

Effective November 1, 2006, certain ING Funds sub-advised by ING IM are permitted to invest end-of-day cash balances into ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund. Investment management fees paid by the Funds will be reduced by an amount equal to the management fees paid indirectly to ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund with respect to assets invested by the Funds. For the year ended May 31, 2007, Fundamental Research, MidCap Opportunities, SmallCap Opportunities and Financial Services waived $14, $669, $629 and $2,592 of such management fees, respectively. These fees are not subject to recoupment.

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

The Investment Adviser may direct the Funds’ portfolio managers to use their best efforts (subject to obtaining best execution of each transaction) to allocate a Fund’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 Portfolio. Any amounts credited to the Funds are reflected as brokerage commission recapture in the Statements of Operations.

NOTE 10 — SECURITIES LENDING

Under an agreement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Funds except, Financial Services, 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 collateral received is reflected in the Portfolio of Investments as collateral for securities loaned. 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 May 31, 2007, the Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

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

The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of May 31, 2007:

NOTE 13 — ILLIQUID SECURITIES

Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Funds’ Board, the following securities have been deemed to be illiquid. The Funds may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

NOTE 14 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

Concentration (Real Estate and Financial Services). Each Fund concentrates (for purposes of the 1940 Act) its assets in securities related to a particular industry, which means that at least 25% of its assets will be invested in that particular industry at all times. As a result, each Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuation than a fund which has securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.

Non-Diversified (Real Estate and Opportunistic LargeCap). The Funds are each classified as non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, which means that each Fund is not limited by the 1940 Act in the proportion of assets that they may invest in the obligations of a single issuer. Declines in the value of that single company can significantly impact the value of a Fund. The investment of a large percentage of a Fund’s assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause the Funds’ share price to fluctuate more than that of a diversified investment company. Conversely, even though classified as nondiversified, a Fund may actually maintain a portfolio that is diversified with a large number of issuers. In such an event, a Fund would benefit less from appreciation in a single corporate issuer than if it had greater exposure to that issuer.

NII — Net investment income

On July 12, 2007, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize MagnaCap into ING Growth and Income Fund. The proposed reorganization is subject to approval by shareholders of MagnaCap. If shareholder approval is obtained, it is expected that the reorganization would take place during the fourth quarter of 2007.

NOTE 16 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon challenge by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. However, acknowledging the unique issues that FIN 48 presents for investment companies that calculate NAVs, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has indicated that they would not object if a fund implements FIN 48 in its NAV

calculation as late as its last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. For May year-end funds, this would be no later than their November 30, 2007 NAV and the effects of FIN 48 would be reflected in the funds’ semi-annual financial statements contained in their Form N-CSR filing. At adoption, companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Funds has assessed the impact of adopting FIN 48 and currently does not believe that there will be a material impact to the Funds.

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” The new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of May 31, 2007, management of the Funds is currently assessing the impact, if any, that will result from adopting SFAS No. 157.

NOTE 17 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS

ING Investments reported to the Boards of Directors/ Trustees (the “Boards”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, ING Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.

In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep, including ING Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Boards.

ING Investments has advised the Boards that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. ING Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated.

Based on the internal review, ING Investments has advised the Boards that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.

In September 2005, IFD, the distributor of certain ING Funds, settled an administrative proceeding with the NASD regarding three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered into formal

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

 
NOTE 17 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)

and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. Under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) with the NASD, under which IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings, IFD consented to the following sanctions: (i) a censure; (ii) a fine of $1.5 million; (iii) restitution of approximately $1.44 million to certain ING Funds for losses attributable to excessive trading described in the AWC; and (iv) agreement to make certification to NASD regarding the review and establishment of certain procedures.

In addition to the arrangements discussed above, ING Investments reported to the Boards that, at this time, these instances include the following, in addition to the arrangements subject to the AWC discussed above:

•  Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING IM) identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.
 
•  ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.
 
•  In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.

For additional information regarding these matters and the AWC, you may consult the Form 8-K and Form 8-K/ A for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ILIAC, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the SEC on October 29, 2004 and September 8, 2004. These Forms 8-K and Forms 8-K/ A can be accessed through the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Boards are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.

ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Boards that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, 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. ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.
 
•  ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.
 
•  The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.
 
•  ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.

•  ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.

Other Regulatory Matters

The New York Attorney General (the “NYAG”) and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices (including suitability); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); fund selection for investment products and brokerage sales; and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. ING has received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and is cooperating fully with each request. In connection with one such investigation, affiliates of ING Investments were named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation (the “NH Bureau”) concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.

On October 10, 2006, an affiliate of ING Investments entered into an assurance of discontinuance with the NYAG (the “NYAG Agreement”) regarding the endorsement of its products by the New York State United Teachers Union Member Benefits Trust (“NYSUT”) and the sale of their products to NYSUT members. Under the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NYAG’s findings, will distribute $30 million to NYSUT members, and/or former NYSUT members, who participated in the NYSUT-endorsed products at any point between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2006. The affiliate also agreed with the NYAG’s office to develop a one-page disclosure that will further improve transparency and disclosure regarding retirement product fees (the “One-Page Disclosure”). Pursuant to the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate has agreed for a five year period to provide its retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure.

In addition, on the same date, these affiliates of ING Investments entered into a consent agreement with the NH Bureau (the “NH Agreement”) to resolve this petition for relief and cease and desist order. Under the terms of the NH Agreement, these affiliates of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NH Bureau’s claims, have agreed to pay $3 million to resolve the matter, and for a five year period to provide their retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure described above. Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING’s businesses.

In light of these and other developments, ING continuously reviews whether modifications to its business practices are appropriate.

At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

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

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

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

VIII. Delegation
The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Committee’s members. Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions, including any pre-approved services, to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will identify any member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated in writing. The member will retain such authority for a period of 12 months from the date of pre-approval unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The period of delegated authority may be terminated by the Committee or at the option of the member.
IX. Additional Requirements
The Committee will take any measures the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to oversee the work of the independent auditors and to assure the auditors’ independence from the Funds. This may include reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditors delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Funds, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the auditors their methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
