PRESIDENT’S LETTER

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

We are in the midst of an exciting time here at ING Funds. We began the year by introducing a new ING global fund that gave investors an opportunity to invest in global companies with a history of attractive dividend yields.

 

The new fund was a bold and innovative opportunity and it captured the attention of investors. When the fund’s initial offering period closed, it proved to be one of the five largest unleveraged closed-end funds in history.

 

The success of the new fund offering illustrates what ING Funds is really all about: fresh thinking in financial services. The fund’s offering success also confirmed something else that we have long believed; namely, that investors are excited about opportunities beyond our shores.

 

 

As globalization grows, investment opportunities grow as well. In 1970, only about one-third of equity market capitalization was located abroad; by 2004, that number had jumped to 50 percent1. It is often said that the world is becoming ever more complicated. This is undoubtedly true in the world of investments where the range of asset classes and investment techniques has never been wider. To take advantage of the opportunities that are now available, it is essential to seek investment partners who have the required breadth and depth of experience — on a global basis.

 

Our goal at ING Funds is to deliver innovative investment products that help you, the investor, to achieve your financial dreams. We have also long been committed to uncovering opportunities worldwide.

 

We will continue to bring you opportunities — wherever they occur. With access to more than 700 ING investment management professionals who are located around the world and who, in our consideration, deliver exceptional insight into markets in Europe, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region, we believe we are in a unique position to help you take advantage of the opportunities that the world has to offer.

 

On behalf of everyone here at ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support and loyalty. We look forward to serving you in the future.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

James M. Hennessy

President

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2005

 

In our semi-annual report we described global equities that had returned 9.0% on average to U.S. dollar investors. For the year ended May 31, 2005, global equities gained 11.3%, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index(1) in dollars, including net reinvested dividends. In the second six months, however, those investors struggled to make further headway, adding just 2.2%, much of which was due to trends in currencies. For the six months, the U.S. currency recovered 7.9% against the euro, 5.3% against the yen and 5.1% against the pound, reducing sizeable local stock market appreciation correspondingly.

 

Interest rate issues heavily influenced all markets. Commentators on investment grade U.S. fixed income securities were confounded by the continued flattening of the Treasury yield curve. Four times during the half year the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raised the Federal Funds rate by 0.25% to 3.0%, making eight increases since June 2004. Yet longer term Treasury yields stayed on a downward path and on February 9 the ten-year reached its semi-annual low point of 4.0%. Even Chairman Greenspan confessed his own bafflement at this “conundrum”, unnerving many investors with his apparent displeasure. This and other shocks sent that yield back up to its peak of 4.6% on March 28. But it was short lived. In the weeks that followed, evidence of slowing activity and firming inflation mounted. Barely two months after Greenspan’s “conundrum” speech, the conundrum was back. In May there was a brief reversal after the employment report, but by mid month, fairly tame core inflation data sent the yield spread of the ten-year over the 90-day Treasury Bill to repeated multi-year record low levels. The yield on 10-year Treasury Notes fell 0.65% and 0.35% to 4.0%, for the twelve months and six months, respectively, but the yield on 13-week Treasury Bills soared 1.8% and 0.70%, respectively for the same periods, to 2.9%. The broader Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2) returned 6.8% for the full year and 2.9% for the six months. High yield bonds betrayed their equity-like characteristics and after a powerful first half, struggled in the second; the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index(3) added just 0.6% in the second half the year, while gaining 10.3% for the full year.

 

The U.S. equities market in the form of the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(4), gained 8.2% including dividends for the year ended May 31, 2005. For the six months, the Index gained 2.4%, less than half the gain of the previous six months and only squeezed out in the last two weeks of May. At this point the market was trading at a price-to-earnings level of just under 16 times earnings for the current fiscal year. The market had powered ahead in the last two months of 2004, energized by the clear presidential election result, retreating oil prices after the October record and a bullish November employment report. By January this was being seen as overly optimistic and stocks fell back. But encouraging elections in Iraq and an upsurge in merger and acquisition activity relieved the gloom somewhat. This was followed through in February as fourth quarter 2004 corporate earnings showed average growth above 20%. A better than expected employment report on March 4 propelled the S&P 500 Index to its best close of the six month period the next day. But the sell off from this high to the end of April was swift, as fears of slowing growth, rising inflation, and slumping consumer confidence sent the market to its 2004 low point in mid-April. May started as April had left off, with investors uneasy at the apparent combination of a “soft patch” in the economy and the Federal Reserve intent on increasing short-term interest rates. Indeed the first two business days saw a weak manufacturing report and another rise in the Federal Funds rate. But a very strong employment report, record home sales and a first quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth estimate revised up to 3.5%, within which profits were still growing at a healthy 13.8%, soon had many commentators asking if the soft patch had just been an illusion. Investors were relieved as oil prices remained well below the April high level, much of the time under $50 per barrel. As is often the case when the mood shifts, formerly worrisome news was now being shrugged off. Significant upward revisions to earlier estimates of wages and salaries growth, experts argued, would surely safeguard the future spending of the all-important U.S. consumer, notwithstanding the FOMC. Our year ended with a sharp rebound in consumer confidence.

 

In international equities markets for the six months ended May 31, 2005, Japan fell 0.9% in dollars, as measured by the MSCI Japan Index(5) with net dividends, but rose 3.9% in yen. For the full year, the Index gained 3.9% in dollars and 1.3% in yen. The headline of the half-year was undoubtedly that Japan was in recession again for the fourth time in thirteen years, GDP falling in the middle two quarters of 2004. Yet it bounced back in the first calendar quarter of 2005 and by the end of May improved corporate profitability and household spending had raised

spirits. Meanwhile, for the six months European ex UK markets gained 2.3% in dollars, over four times that in local currency, and 17.9% for the year, as measured by the MSCI Europe ex UK Index(6) with net dividends, reaching a near three-year high. While the macro picture is depressing with unemployment over 10% in France and Germany and domestic demand weak, markets were encouraged by attractive price earnings ratios and merger and acquisition prospects. The UK market rose 15.0% for the full year and 2.6% in dollars between November and May, based on the MSCI UK Index(7) with net dividends. In pounds, the market rose 15.7% and 7.6%, respectively, for the same periods. The healthy UK economy patently started to slow after five interest rate increases through August. By the end of May, manufacturing was contracting, housing prices were receding and household spending was cooling. Still, stocks were underpinned by fairly modest valuations, a dividend yield well above 3% and again, periodic merger and acquisition excitement.

Investment Types*

*  Excludes other assets and liabilities of -27.8% of net assets and 27.7%
of net assets for short-term investments related to securities lending.

The ING Convertible Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Anuradha Sahai, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of -0.85% compared to the Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Excluding Mandatory All Qualities (“ML Convertible”) Index(4) which returned -0.08% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund was relatively defensively positioned versus its peer group, as well as the ML Convertible Index at the beginning of the year. The barbell approach adopted earlier in the year was modified somewhat to a more middle of the road approach with most of its weighting in total return convertibles, with neither a pure bond-like tilt nor a pure equity tilt. With the collapse of volatility in the convertible market, especially in the latter half of the year, this hurt Fund performance as the option value of the middle of the road convertibles diminished significantly. Thus middle of the road convertibles have fared the worst so far in 2005.

 

Given the strength in oil prices through most of this period, energy was the biggest contributor to Index returns. Slight overweighting and security selection aided the Fund in beating the benchmark in the energy sector, which was the best performing sector in the Fund. Security selection was the major driver of performance in the consumer discretionary, healthcare, and consumer staples sectors as well. Underweighting airlines aided the Fund in outperforming the benchmark in the transportation sector as well. This was offset by significant underperformance in telecommunications, caused by pronounced underperformance of one holding where the company’s fundamental deterioration was announced during one of the earnings calls and which the Fund has since been underweighted. The Fund also underperformed in the industrial sector due to a couple of holdings not meeting earnings expectations during a quarter and another introducing management integrity issues. The Fund has sold these holdings subsequently. Media and technology also underperformed with certain sub sectors going out of favor and due to gains given back during this period versus the previous twelve month period.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: U.S. economic indicators continue to improve, but we believe that equity market valuations will improve more modestly going further into the calendar year. A weak dollar, combined with relatively high oil prices, could still act as a damper to economic growth going forward. Inflationary fears, along with geopolitical concerns, could further decrease the visibility for the financial markets.

 

The Fund still maintains a middle-of-the-road approach with heavier weightings in balanced total return convertibles, as we believe the market has cheapened significantly over the last few months, with the expectation that these should outperform going forward.

 

In these volatile times, we believe convertible securities are attractive relative to comparable asset classes due to their bond floor downside protection while providing equity-like upside participation. Despite the fear of higher rates, strong balance sheets and low default risk should keep bond floors from dropping much. We continue to look for companies across the spectrum that will benefit from a gradually recovering economy as we expect the market will reward companies that typically profit in the recovery part of the cycle. A bottom up approach which relies on fundamental analysis and careful security selection within our broader top down sector positioning strategy continues to be the foundation for our investment decisions.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING Convertible Fund against the Index indicated. An index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund’s performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.

 

The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

 

The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.

 

Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate.

(as a percent of net assets)

* Excludes other assets and liabilities of -6.8% of net assets.

 

The ING Equity and Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a balance of long-term capital appreciation and current income. The equity portion of the Fund is managed by James A. Vail, CFA. The bond portion of the Fund is managed by James B. Kauffmann. Mary Ann Fernandez and Shiv Mehta are jointly responsible for establishing the overall asset allocation strategy for the Fund. All are with ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ending May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 4.51% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(4), the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(5), and the Composite Index (60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index), which returned 8.24%, 6.82% and 7.78%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The principal negative factor of the Fund’s equity component that caused it to underperform the S&P 500 Index was our information technology holdings, particularly previously held NVIDIA Corp., Hewlett Packard Co. and Corning, Inc., as well as International Business Machines Corp. Healthcare was another disappointing performer as Biogen Idec, Inc. sold off dramatically after a new drug was withdrawn from the market. Earlier in the year, previously held Boston Scientific Corp., encountered problems with its stent product line, which also hurt overall returns.

 

Performance was bolstered by holdings in the consumer discretionary sector, particularly Marriott International, Inc. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Carnival Corp. and Nordstrom, Inc. The industrial sector also provided positive returns as truck manufacturer PACCAR, Inc. and previously held Rockwell Automation, Inc. were strong performers. Finally being underweight consumer staples aided performance. Earlier in the period energy detracted from performance, but more recently exerted a positive influence.

 

Overall, the fixed income portion of the Fund performed in line with its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, despite the different impacts our short duration stance had over the twelve-month period. While a short duration stance was helpful to performance in the first part of the fiscal year, by the end of the third calendar quarter of 2004 it was a source of underperformance relative to the benchmark especially since we concentrated our underweight in the resilient shorter maturities of the yield curve. Again the short duration posture helped in the first calendar quarter of 2005, but it was a drag on performance as we ended the Fund’s fiscal year in May. During the first six months of the reporting period, we reduced our exposure to longer-dated and lower-rated corporates in the face of stretched valuations. In fact, our exposure to credit-sensitive sectors at the close of the period was below the Index on a market-weight and a contribution-to-duration basis. At times the portfolio yield was slightly less than the Index.

 

Exposure to emerging markets debt significantly helped returns until the calendar turned to 2005. We reduced exposure to both higher risk sectors early in January as the compensation for risk became inadequate. Once the tide turned against high yield later in the first calendar quarter of 2005, the underweight was advantageous. Careful credit analysis also pointed to a significant underweight in the autos for most of the period; however, we reintroduced some of the names in May.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: We remain defensively postured as idiosyncratic risk is on the rise. The increase in shareholder friendly initiatives — special dividends, share buy-backs, mergers, etc — is decidedly bondholder unfriendly. We continue to actively manage our sector allocation and security selection exposures. Careful security selection is never more important than during periods of volatility. However, valuations have improved lately and we expect to reduce our tactical treasury allocation and purchase high quality securities that have widened with the market. Specifically, we continue to like the utility, insurance, and banking sectors.

 

The Fund closed the period neutral home mortgages, overweight asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and moderately underweight the short and intermediate portions of the yield curve. We are also underweight agencies. Despite the addition of a number of new positions in May our credit allocation remains lower than the benchmark. Indeed, intermittent squalls in the bond market may provide some tactical trading opportunities in disparaged sectors and issuers. With some 75% of the mortgage market vulnerable to refinancing, we may decrease our allocation in the very near future but will maintain holdings in adjustable rate mortgages and collateralized mortgage obligations.

The ING Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return. The Fund is co-managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, CFA, Chief Investment Officer and Sherry L. Rexroad, Managing Director, ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 28.51% compared to the Dow Jones Wilshire (“DJW”) Real Estate Securities Index(4), which returned 31.57% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund trailed its benchmark, but the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index(9) and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(10).

 

The best returns by sector in the last year were from the mall, shopping center, hotel, and storage sectors. Generally, our sector allocation was a positive contributor, as we were overweight in the retail sectors. However, our modest weighting in the healthcare sector, which is not in the benchmark, was a drag on performance during the last year. The healthcare sector was the clear laggard among property stocks  advancing “only” 22.2%. Stock selection was the source of our underperformance in the last year. Our stock selection in the shopping center, hotel and industrial sectors outperformed the sector averages. Unfortunately, the underperformance in the mall, office and apartment sectors offset the positive sector selection and stock selection in other sectors. The only significant change in sector allocation has been the elimination of our healthcare positions and the addition of a 5% allocation to the storage sector, which we like for the rapidly improving fundamentals in this property type. We remain overweight the mall sector, which continues to exhibit the strongest fundamentals of any property type. Even the small amount of cash held on average during the year had a drag on performance in such strong markets.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Real estate stocks continue to be strong performers relative to the rest of the stock market. Volatility, however, has increased in the last 18 months. In January, many Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) fell sharply, but have since regained all those losses and more. Traditionally real estate stock returns have only about 65% of the volatility of the S&P 500 Index and half the volatility of the Russell 2000 Index(11). The high and consistent level of dividend income has been one of the reasons for REITs lower historic volatility. REIT dividends increased by about 3% last year and are expected to grow by a similar amount again this year.

 

The economy and interest rates will write the story for REITs in 2005. With the spread between dividend yields and bonds at below average levels, the action of the Federal Reserve becomes more important in 2005. A policy of slow-measured increases in short-term rates and a modest increase in long-term rates is generally good for REITs. A sharp increase in the rate of increases or a dramatic rise in 10-year rates would likely hurt REIT stock prices.

 

As of the end of May, REITs are trading at fair value relative to three broad measures of value. By one measure, REITs look expensive. The average REIT trades at about a 14.2 multiple of earnings, which is well above the 12.2 average multiple since 1986. However, REITs are trading at a dividend yield of 4.8%, which is 80 basis points (0.80%) higher than the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond (versus an average spread over the last 20 years of approximately 60 basis points). Finally, we estimate the average REIT stock price is about a 2% premium to estimated Net Asset Value (the estimate of the private market value of a company’s real estate assets net of debt). In other words, public real estate equity valuations are in line with the much larger private market values. Approximately 90% of U.S. real estate is owned in the private market.

 

As long as new stock issuance remains disciplined as it was in 2003 and 2004, we believe stock prices should improve with earnings growth. The pipeline of initial public offerings (IPO’s) remains modest. As always, we will be discriminating buyers of these new entrants to the public real estate company universe. In the meantime, we expect REITs, which offer relatively high yields and solid earnings prospects, to retain their appeal to investors, given the alternatives.

The ING Disciplined LargeCap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Hugh T.M. Whelan Sr., and Douglas Coté, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 9.75% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(4), which returned 8.24% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index due to security selection, especially in the healthcare, utilities and information technology sectors. This positive performance was offset slightly by disappointing stock performance in the industrials and consumer staples sectors. Among the largest contributors to performance were our overweights in Apple Computer, Inc. and TXU Corp. Our overweights in Ford Motor Co. and Gap, Inc. were among stocks that detracted from alpha over the year.

 

Soaring profits, outstanding product sales led by the iPod, iPod mini and the iPod Shuffle and rising earnings forecasts drove Apple Computer, Inc. up significantly. Also driving profitability is additional economic benefit from new retail store openings. Shares of TXU Corp., the largest Texas power supplier, rose on strong earnings and the announcement of a four-fold dividend increase and improved outlook for 2004 and 2005. Management has been committed to transforming TXU Corp. into a high performance utility company with continued improvement in profitability. Not unlike other U.S. automakers, Ford Motor Co. has experienced falling sales (especially in SUVs), high inventories and production cuts. Their planned price cuts will help to clear inventories but will hurt profits. In April, the company reduced its 2005 earnings per share outlook and stated that it did not expect to meet the 2006 pretax income objective. Gap, Inc.’s stock price dropped as slowing sales momentum across all retail concepts hampered profitability. Margin declines and costs associated with support of new growth initiatives also hindered profitability.

 

Individual security selection was aided by the effectiveness of factors historically successful at identifying outperforming stocks, including price momentum, analyst estimate revision, free cash flow to price, capital expense change and change in accruals. Only trailing price to earnings had a negative impact on performance over the year.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: During May, the economic outlook improved somewhat and the markets finally responded like the recovery had legs. First quarter gross domestic product came in higher than expected and the economy is creating jobs at a healthy pace. Retail sales and industrial production are moderating and energy prices have been ticking downward. Profit growth is at a rate that is more in line with a mid-cycle recovery. Meanwhile, long-term rates remain amazingly low and as a result housing continues to be strong. All of which has had a positive impact on the equity markets. Our research builds structured portfolios of stocks with fundamental characteristics that we believe will translate into a performance advantage over the benchmark portfolio. The evaluation includes every stock in the index. We believe that the most recent analysis positions the Fund to capitalize on holdings with superior growth, profitability and balance sheet strength relative to their valuations in terms of earnings and cash flows. The Fund is currently overweight in the information technology, energy and healthcare sectors and underweight in the consumer discretionary, financials, utilities and telecommunications sectors. However, overall sector exposures are by design quite close to the S&P 500 Index so that nearly all of our relative performance is driven by individual stock selection.

The ING LargeCap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Andrew J. Shilling, Senior Vice President, and John A. Boselli, Senior-Vice President, Wellington Management Company, LLP — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 1.65% compared to the Russell 1000 Growth Index(4) and the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(5), which returned 3.33% and 8.24%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Investor concerns over varying economic reports, fears of rising interest rates, record oil prices and uncertain corporate earnings growth came in waves throughout the year. In this volatile environment, the Fund maintained its focus on stock selection, which overall added value relative to the benchmark. Conversely, sector allocation detracted from relative returns. Our overweight to the information technology sector was the largest source of negative allocation. However, our stock selection within the sector was strongly positive, as was our security selection within financials. Stock selection was weakest within the industrials and healthcare sectors.

 

Digital wireless communications solutions company Research In Motion Ltd., the top positive contributor to relative and absolute Fund returns, performed well for the year on strong subscriber growth and pricing. Internet media companies Yahoo!, Inc. and Google, Inc. benefited from favorable trends for online advertising and paid search. Medical solutions company Guidant Corp. performed well on strength in its cardiac rhythm management business. We eliminated our position after Johnson & Johnson announced plans in December 2004 to acquire the company.

 

Negative returns from Apollo Group, Inc. (consumer discretionary) and a handful of healthcare stocks detracted from absolute returns during the year. Post-secondary educator Apollo Group, Inc., the bottom contributor on a relative and absolute basis, declined as education stocks were generally weak due to increased regulatory scrutiny, slowing growth and increased costs of acquiring students. In healthcare, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology stocks were generally weak during the year. Of our holdings, Eli Lilly & Co., Elan Corp. and Forest Laboratories, Inc. were particularly weak. Elan Corp. withdrew its much-heralded Tysabri treatment for multiple sclerosis as it was associated with patient deaths. We eliminated our position in Elan Corp. during the year.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: We expect economic expansion during the remainder of 2005, but we are preparing for a deceleration from recent growth rates. This year will not feel as good as the recovery we have experienced over the past two years, and we expect the main engine of growth during that time, the U.S. consumer, may have trouble keeping pace. We expect the commercial and industrial side of the economy to pick up the slack.

 

In this uncertain environment, we continue to emphasize competitively-advantaged, share-gaining industry leaders that should perform well in most economic scenarios. Our strategy is to build a diversified portfolio on a stock-by-stock basis, identifying companies with sustainable strong revenue and cash flow growth. Sector weights are a “fall out” of stock selection. At the end of the year we held overweight positions in pro-cyclical sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials, while remaining underweight consumer staples and healthcare.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 7.88% compared to the Russell MidCap Growth Index(4) and the Russell MidCap Index(5), which returned 10.57% and 17.21%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The primary cause of the Fund’s underperformance during the fiscal year was disappointing stock performance in the healthcare, information technology and financial sectors. On the positive side, strong stock selections in the consumer discretionary, energy and industrials sectors, along with an overweight in each of these sectors, contributed to returns. Several stocks in the technology and healthcare sectors, did particularly poorly, and most of these have been sold. Among the biggest detractors were TIBCO Software, Inc, Omnicare, Inc., Broadcom Corp. and Tekelec. Stocks that contributed the most to the Fund’s gains included energy stocks such as Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., Peabody Energy Corp. and XTO Energy, Inc. Retailers, Michaels Stores, Inc. and Chico’s FAS, Inc. also did particularly well.

 

Entering the new fiscal year, the consumer discretionary sector remains the most heavily weighted. Relative to the Russell Midcap Growth Index benchmark, the Fund is overweighted in the consumer discretionary, energy, and industrials sectors and underweighted relative to the benchmark in the information technology and financials sectors.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: We believe that the outlook for mid-cap growth stocks is moderately attractive. It appears that economic growth is moderate, as is inflation. The Federal Reserve’s tightening may well be nearing an end, which generally bodes well for the stock market and for small- and mid-sized growth stocks. Corporate profits continue to grow, although most likely at a decelerating rate. Exogenous factors — such as terrorist incidents — remain unpredictable, of course. The Fund continues to be built on a stock-by-stock, bottom-up basis, with stock selection based on positive earnings growth, relative price strength, and reasonable valuation. Portfolio construction relies less on any prediction of the market and/or the economy.

The ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Matthew S. Price, CFA and David C. Campbell, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 8.17% compared to the Russell 2000 Growth Index(4) and the Russell 2000 Index(5), which returned 4.38% and 9.82%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s performance was primarily a result of good stock selection in the consumer discretionary, energy, and information technology sectors. In addition, overweighting the consumer discretionary sector, a modest overweighting in the energy sector, and underweighting of the weak technology sector, contributed positively to performance. On the negative side, disappointing results in the industrial sector, and a small overweight in the healthcare sector detracted from performance.

 

Several stocks posted big gains during the fiscal year. Consistent with our discipline, we continue to hold most of them. Among the biggest gainers were Southwestern Energy Co., Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (which was sold because its market capitalization had become very large), Penn National Gaming, Inc., Micros Systems, Inc., and CACI International, Inc. There were also some significant decliners in the Fund, largely in the more volatile technology and healthcare sectors. Among the largest performance detractors were Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Tekelec, Integrated Silicon Solutions, Martek Biosciences Corp., and Gevity HR, Inc. All of these, as well as many other poorly performing stocks, are no longer held by the Fund.

 

Entering the new fiscal year, the consumer discretionary sector remains the most overweighted position in the portfolio relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index sector weight. The Fund is underweighted in financials and is approximately equally weighted relative to the Index in energy, healthcare, and information technology.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: We believe that the outlook for small-cap growth stocks is moderately attractive. It appears that economic growth is moderate, as is inflation. The Federal Reserve’s tightening may well be nearing an end, which generally bodes well for the stock market and for small growth stocks. Corporate profits continue to grow, albeit perhaps at a decelerating rate. Exogenous factors — such as terrorist incidents — remain unpredictable, of course. The Fund continues to be built on a stock-by-stock, bottom-up basis, with stock selection based on positive earnings growth, relative price strength, and reasonable valuation; portfolio construction relies less on any prediction of the market and/or the economy.

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

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 7.97% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Financials Index(3) and the S&P 500 Index(4), which returned 4.83% and 8.24%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund softened its offensive stance during the fiscal year, maintaining a smaller but still active tilt in favor of stocks that we believed would benefit from an expanding economy and would be less vulnerable to higher interest rates.

 

This marginally less aggressive stance was prompted by just a bit less conviction on how strong the economy would prove to be, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) apparent determination to raise short-term interest rates at a sustained pace. Indeed, the Fed has taken the discount rate all the way from 1.00% last year to 3.00% as of the time of this letter. While returns to financial stocks remained in positive territory for the period, they were less robust than the previous fiscal year. Even so, the Fund was able to outperform its benchmark for the period.

 

Among the individual stocks that were major contributors to performance during the twelve months ended May 31, 2005 were: asset managers Affiliated Managers Group, Inc., Franklin Resources, Inc., and previously held T. Rowe Price; life insurer Prudential Financial, Inc.; property/casualty insurer Allstate Corp.; diversified bank Bank of America Corp.; mortgage lenders Accredited Home Mortgage and Countrywide Financial Corp.; and securities broker Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.

 

Conversely, our holdings of multiline insurer American International Group were roiled by allegations of accounting irregularities, which resulted in the ouster of the long-time CEO and the restatement of several years of financial reports. We continue to hold a stake in the company as of this writing, believing that the stock will recover a significant portion of its lost value as new management stabilizes operations following the restatements.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our last commentary six months ago, we spoke about a disconnect we were seeing between companies’ earnings (generally very good) and stock prices (erratic at best). We also expressed certainty that higher interest rates were on the way, which was pretty much a consensus view at the time.

 

While the Fed did raise short-term rates, long-term rates have remained stubbornly low, though we were mostly correct in thinking our stocks might begin reflecting the solid earnings being delivered.

 

As of today, it is decidedly less certain how interest rates will develop going forward. The Fed apparently intends to bring the discount rate up to a “sustainable” level, but it is not at all clear how longer-term rates will behave or if the yield curve will continue to flatten. As such, we find it more difficult to rely on a macro tailwind to drive company earnings. We do, however, retain our mildly offensive positioning, believing that the domestic economy is still more likely to improve going forward and not slide back into recession.

 

Under the circumstances, we have been focused on finding new investment opportunities among firms we believe to be capable of growing book value through internal self-help efforts, no matter which direction interest rates or the economy may head.

as of May 31, 2005

(as a percent of net assets)

 

 

*      Excludes other assets and liabilities of 2.6% of net assets.

 

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

 

The ING LargeCap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser. Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee is responsible for making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 7.64% compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index(4) and the Russell 1000 Index(5), which returned 15.49% and 9.42%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection for the Fund resulted in greater exposure to the automobiles industry than the benchmark (Russell 1000 Value Index), which weighed on relative performance. The manager’s company-by-company research and analysis to identify stocks trading below intrinsic value resulted in low exposure to the oil and gas industry compared to the benchmark, which contributed to relative under performance for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2005.

 

Gains for holdings in the diversified telecommunication services, insurance, and tobacco industries, including Sprint Corp., Loews Corp., and Altria Group, Inc., made the most substantial contribution to returns. Other positions posting gains during the year included El Paso Corp. and Schering-Plough Corp. Conversely, holdings in the automobiles industry, such as Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp., tended to decline.

 

During the year, we sold May Department Stores Co., HCA , and American Electric Power Co., Inc. as their market prices advanced toward our estimate of their fair values. We purchased shares of Aon Corp., American International Group, Inc, and UnumProvident Corp. at prices that we consider attractive.

 

As of May 31, 2005, the Fund’s most significant weighting was in the pharmaceuticals industry.

 

Market Outlook: The Fund’s weightings for industries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions regarding industry growth, interest rates, or other macroeconomic variables. Instead, these weightings stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities.

 

Our investment philosophy continues to focus on fundamental company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we search for and hold stocks that are trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy may provide patient investors with favorable results.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING LargeCap Value Fund against the Indices indicated. An index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund’s performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.

 

Performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

 

The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.

 

Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown.

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

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 6.48% compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index(5) and the Russell 1000 Index(6), which returned 15.49% and 9.42%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed its benchmark primarily due to generally weak stock selection, as overall sector allocation for the fiscal year was reasonably neutral. The financial sector, which is the largest sector weight in both the Fund’s portfolio and the benchmark with nearly a 33% weighting, was the largest detractor from overall results due to relative stock selection. In fact, several well-known financial stocks, including American International Group, Inc., Fannie Mae and Morgan Stanley, posted negative returns over the last twelve months. Further, a consistent overweight in the strong performing energy sector was more than offset by stock selection. While there were many energy stocks in the Fund that contributed positively to results, it was difficult to keep pace with the benchmark sector return of nearly 40%. As an example of the sector’s strength, even the largest energy company in the world, Exxon Mobil Corp., reacted favorably to surging energy prices and advanced by 32.7% during the most recent twelve months. Finally, the Fund had little exposure to the utility sector as these stocks generally perform poorly when interest rates increase. However, the long end of the yield curve remained reasonably steady as the Federal Reserve raised short-term rates and the utility sector had strong performance. As a result, this sector acted as another drag on overall results.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: We believe the Fund is well positioned for the environment that we foresee. The Federal Reserve may be hard pressed to continue aggressively raising interest rates in the face of a decelerating economy, and for that reason we have been increasing our exposure to financials. There are other potential sources of support for the stock market, including continued merger and acquisition activity, share repurchases from strong corporate cash flows, and further dividend increases. Also, many measures of stock market valuation suggest that common stocks are reasonably valued. Further, yields in the bond market have retreated to lower levels as further signs of a slowing economy become evident. As a result, we remain fully invested in inexpensive value stocks that have a positive catalyst in sight or have become, in our opinion, temporarily mispriced by the market.

The ING MidCap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser. Brandes’ Mid Cap Investment Committee is responsible for making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 3.13% compared to the Russell MidCap Value Index(4) and the Russell MidCap Index(5), which returned 22.15% and 17.21%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: On a relative contribution basis, the Fund’s positions in the healthcare providers and services industry and the information technology industry underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index, or benchmark, return from these industries for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2005. In addition, stock selection for the Fund resulted in greater exposure to the auto components industry than the benchmark, which also weighted on relative performance.

 

Gains for holdings in the tobacco industry, the oil and gas industry, and the specialty retail industry helped drive performance for the 12-month period ending May 31, 2005. Top performers from these industries included Carolina Group, El Paso Corp., and Toys “R” Us, Inc. Conversely, holdings in industries such as information technology services and communications equipment tended to decline. Among the positions from these industries weighing on performance were Unisys Corp. and UTStarcom, Inc. During the period, we sold Dillard’s, Inc, Lubrizol Corp., and York International Corp. as their market prices advanced toward our estimate of their fair values. We purchased shares of Assured Guaranty Ltd., Tellabs, Inc., and Delphi Corp. at prices that we consider attractive. As of May 31, 2005, the Fund’s most significant weighting was in the auto components industry.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Keep in mind that the Fund’s weightings for industries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions regarding industry growth, interest rates, or other macroeconomic variables. Instead, these weightings stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities.

 

Our investment philosophy continues to focus on fundamental company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we search for and hold stocks that are trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy may provide patient investors with favorable results.

The ING MidCap Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by David B. Iben, CFA, Portfolio Manager of NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the period of February 1, 2005, inception of the Fund, through May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of –0.30% compared to the Russell MidCap Value Index(4) and the Russell MidCap Index(5), which returned 4.61% and 3.76%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Since inception in February 2005, performance of the Fund has been essentially flat, and has lagged its benchmark, the Russell MidCap Value Index. Strong gains realized in February, were given back during the market correction in March and April. Holdings in the transportation sector, such as Union Pacific Corp. and CP Ships Ltd. contributed positively to performance as worldwide demand for transportation services continued to increase. Technology sector investment Maxtor Corp., appreciated significantly throughout the period. Energy sector holdings, including Nexen, Inc. and Unocal, registered strong gains, which were driven by increased worldwide demand for fuel and higher oil prices. Modest gains from our investments in the consumer staples sector, including Tyson Foods, Inc., Rite Aid Corp., and Albertsons, Inc. also contributed to performance. Detracting from performance were several of our holdings in the materials and processing sector, which corrected sharply. Generally this sector has been outperforming over the past several years as the global economy has expanded. These included precious metal mining companies Bema Gold Corp., Eldorado Gold Corp., and Apex Silver Mines Ltd., which were negatively impacted by a drop in gold and silver commodity prices.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to find value opportunity in the materials and processing sector, particularly in gold mining and agricultural companies. We believe that these companies stand to benefit from favorable worldwide supply/demand fundamentals, the stocks sell at discounts to liquidation values (even using distressed commodity price assumptions), and that our overweight exposure to this sector will benefit the Fund. We are also finding value opportunities in the international arena and have invested in a wide range of American Depositary Receipts. Convertible bond investments have also become more attractive, particularly in the technology sector. Finding value opportunities in the finance and healthcare sectors remains challenging, especially in the small/mid-cap range in which we operate, and thus we remain underweight in these sectors.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund’s weightings for industries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions regarding industry prospects, interest rates, or other macroeconomic variables. Instead, these weightings stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities.

 

Our investment philosophy continues to focus on fundamental company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we search for and hold stocks that are trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy may provide patient investors with favorable results.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING SmallCap Value Fund against the Indices indicated. An index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund’s performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.

 

The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

 

The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.

 

Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown.

The ING SmallCap Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) focuses on long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Phyllis G. Thomas, CFA, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the period of February 1, 2005, inception of the Fund, through May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of –4.30% compared to the Russell 2000 Value Index(4) and the Russell 2000 Index(5) which returned 0.51% and –0.78%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund incurred a loss on an inception to date basis, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. During February and March, the Fund outperformed its benchmark while the stock market displayed lingering weakness, only to have these gains more than reversed in the following two months. An overweight position in the materials and processing sector, including holdings in Sappi, Ltd., Griffon Corp., Gibraltar Industries, Inc., and Buckeye Technologies, Inc. were the key detractors to performance. This sector was weak reflecting concern that the Federal Reserve would more aggressively raise short term interest rates in the coming months resulting in the potential for a significant slowdown in economic activity. The prospect of lower demand coupled with cost pressures related to energy was dampening earnings prospects for this sector. We believe that the economy is under going an inventory correction and not a recession. Most importantly, we believe that our holdings in this sector are significantly undervalued. Contrarily, Aleris Intl., Inc. (formerly IMCO Recycling) was our best performer. The merger with Commonwealth provided a much improved management team and balance sheet. While the position has been trimmed, the stock still offers excellent risk/reward.

 

Our holding in Southwestern Energy Co. contributed significantly to performance. The strong outperformance of energy stocks, in general, reflected significant improvement in profitability and free cash flow as crude prices remained near $50 per barrel. We continue to believe that the stocks are only discounting oil prices of $35 per barrel. Based on our expectation of $40 to $45 per barrel oil prices for the next two or three years and significant reserve additions, we believe our energy holdings are quite under valued. The technology and consumer discretionary sectors posted positive returns as did producer durables. The positions in Maxtor Corp. and General Cable Corp. contributed strongly to returns in this period.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: In the last five years, small cap stocks have benefited enormously from narrowing corporate bond spreads and an unusually steep yield curve. Beginning in 2000, small cap stocks were at the cheapest valuations in close to thirty years. Several strategists declared the end of the small cap bull market this Spring based on valuation and rising short-term interest rates. In fact, small cap stocks have underperformed large cap stocks so far in 2005 reflecting rising risk premiums. We continue to believe, however, that this is only a correction in the small cap bull market. We believe the Federal Reserve is unlikely to aggressively raise short-term interest rates. Corporate bond spreads have remained quite narrow by historical standards, and capital is freely available to finance the growth of small cap companies. Most importantly, while absolute returns will undoubtedly be lower in the next five years than the past five years, we are still finding miss priced stocks in the small cap arena. Our investment research process is based on fundamental research and income and balance sheet analysis with a focus on cash flow as opposed to reported earnings. This rigorous process is finding undervalued stocks with excellent risk/reward potential.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)

 

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

 

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2004 to May 31, 2005.

 

Actual Expenses

 

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors / Trustees and Shareholders
ING Equity Trust and ING Investment Funds, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of ING Convertible Fund, ING Equity and Bond Fund, ING Real Estate Fund, ING Disciplined LargeCap Fund, ING LargeCap Growth Fund, ING MidCap Opportunities Fund, ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund, ING Financial Services Fund, ING LargeCap Value Fund, ING MidCap Value Fund, ING MidCap Value Choice Fund, ING SmallCap Value Fund, ING SmallCap Value Choice Fund, each a series of ING Equity Trust, and ING MagnaCap Fund, a series of ING Investment Funds, Inc., including the portfolios of investments, as of May 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year or period 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 since May 1, 1999. 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, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. 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 ING Convertible Fund, ING Equity and Bond Fund, ING Real Estate Fund, ING Disciplined LargeCap Fund, ING LargeCap Growth Fund, ING MidCap Opportunities Fund, ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund, ING Financial Services Fund, ING LargeCap Value Fund, ING MidCap Value Fund, ING MidCap Value Choice Fund, ING SmallCap Value Fund, ING SmallCap Value Choice Fund, and ING MagnaCap Fund as of May 31, 2005, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

      In 2005, the Sub-Adviser fully reimbursed the Fund for a loss on an investment transaction, which otherwise would have had a 0.08% impact on the Fund’s total return. Excluding the reimbursement, total return would have been 7.80% and 7.00% for Class A and Class B, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2005

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Organization. The ING Funds contained within this book are part of either ING Equity Trust (“IET”) or ING Investment Funds, Inc. (“IIF”) both of which are open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

IET is a Massachusetts business trust organized on June 12, 1998 with twenty-five separate series. Thirteen of which are discussed in this report: ING Convertible Fund (“Convertible”), ING Equity and Bond Fund (“Equity and Bond”), ING Real Estate Fund (“Real Estate”) ING Disciplined LargeCap Fund (“Disciplined LargeCap”), ING LargeCap Growth Fund (“LargeCap Growth”), ING MidCap Opportunities Fund (“MidCap Opportunities”), ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund (“SmallCap Opportunities”), ING Financial Services Fund (“Financial Services”), ING LargeCap Value Fund (“LargeCap Value”), ING MidCap Value Fund (“MidCap Value”), ING MidCap Value Choice Fund (“MidCap Value Choice”), ING SmallCap Value Fund (“SmallCap Value”) and ING SmallCap Value Choice Fund (“SmallCap Value Choice”), collectively (the “Funds”). IIF is a Maryland Corporation organized on July 7, 1969 with one Portfolio, ING MagnaCap Fund (“MagnaCap”).

 

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, shareholder servicing fees 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 results 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Directors/Trustees (‘‘Board’’), in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. Securities traded on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by the 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 the Fund determines its NAV. In such a case, the Fund will use the fair 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

 

80


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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, the 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 the Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time the Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less 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.

 

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 taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and 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 the 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

 

81


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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. 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 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

 

 

Disciplined LargeCap

 

 

LargeCap Growth

 

 

MidCap Opportunities

 

 

SmallCap Opportunities

 

 

Financial Services

Semi-Annually

 

 

MagnaCap

 

 

 

 

 

Quarterly

 

 

Convertible

 

 

Equity and Bond

 

 

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.

 

F.                                      Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired.

 

The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, where by a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain for income tax purposes.

 

G.                                     Use of Estimates. Management of the Funds has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

H.                                    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 the 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.

 

82


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

I.                                         Options Contracts. Each Fund may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Funds may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.

 

J.                                        Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan up to 30% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. Government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund.

 

K.                                    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 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 or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of 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.

 

The Equity and Bond Fund, at times, may purchase FNMA/GNMA certificates on a delayed delivery, forward or when-issued basis with payment and delivery often taking place a month or more after the initiation of the transaction. It is the Fund’s policy to record when-issued FNMA/GNMA certificates (and the corresponding obligation to pay for the securities) at the time the purchase commitment becomes fixed — generally on the trade date. It is also the Fund’s policy to segregate

 

83


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MAY 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

assets to cover its commitments for when-issued securities on trade date.

 

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.

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under an agreement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. Government securities. The collateral must be in an amount equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The 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, 2005, the Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

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

On July 21, 2005, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize the Equity and Bond Fund into the ING Balanced Fund and SmallCap Opportunities Fund into ING Small Company Fund. The proposed reorganizations are subject to approval by shareholders of Equity and Bond and SmallCap Opportunities Funds. If shareholder approval is obtained, it is expected that the reorganizations would take place during the fourth calendar quarter of 2005.

 

NOTE 16 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS

 

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

 

In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those 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 Board.

 

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

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

 

More specifically, Investments reported to the Board that, at this time, these instances include the following:

 

        ING has identified three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”) has received a notice from the staff of the NASD informing IFD that it has made a preliminary determination to recommend that disciplinary action be brought against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with these arrangements.

 

        Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) has identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.

 

        ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.

 

        In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.

 

For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 9, 2004. These Forms 8-K can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Board are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds. Investments reported to the Board that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance.

 

Accordingly, Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.

 

        ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.

 

        ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.

 

        The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.

 

        ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.

 

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

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

We are in the midst of an exciting time here at ING Funds. We began the year by introducing a new ING global fund that gave investors an opportunity to invest in global companies with a history of attractive dividend yields.

 

The new fund was a bold and innovative opportunity and it captured the attention of investors. When the fund’s initial offering period closed, it proved to be one of the five largest unleveraged closed-end funds in history.

 

The success of the new fund offering illustrates what ING Funds is really all about: fresh thinking in financial services. The fund’s offering success also confirmed something else that we have long believed; namely, that investors are excited about opportunities beyond our shores.

 

 

As globalization grows, investment opportunities grow as well. In 1970, only about one-third of equity market capitalization was located abroad; by 2004, that number had jumped to 50 percent1. It is often said that the world is becoming ever more complicated. This is undoubtedly true in the world of investments where the range of asset classes and investment techniques has never been wider. To take advantage of the opportunities that are now available, it is essential to seek investment partners who have the required breadth and depth of experience — on a global basis.

 

Our goal at ING Funds is to deliver innovative investment products that help you, the investor, to achieve your financial dreams. We have also long been committed to uncovering opportunities worldwide.

 

We will continue to bring you opportunities — wherever they occur. With access to more than 700 ING investment management professionals who are located around the world and who, in our consideration, deliver exceptional insight into markets in Europe, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region, we believe we are in a unique position to help you take advantage of the opportunities that the world has to offer.

 

On behalf of everyone here at ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support and loyalty. We look forward to serving you in the future.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

James M. Hennessy
President
ING Funds

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2005

 

In our semi-annual report we described global equities that had returned 9.0% on average to U.S. dollar investors. For the year ended May 31, 2005, global equities gained 11.3%, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index(1) in dollars, including net reinvested dividends. In the second six months, however, those investors struggled to make further headway, adding just 2.2%, much of which was due to trends in currencies. For the six months, the U.S. currency recovered 7.9% against the euro, 5.3% against the yen and 5.1% against the pound, reducing sizeable local stock market appreciation correspondingly.

 

Interest rate issues heavily influenced all markets. Commentators on investment grade U.S. fixed income securities were confounded by the continued flattening of the Treasury yield curve. Four times during the half year the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raised the Federal Funds rate by 0.25% to 3.0%, making eight increases since June 2004. Yet longer term Treasury yields stayed on a downward path and on February 9 the ten-year reached its semi-annual low point of 4.0%. Even Chairman Greenspan confessed his own bafflement at this “conundrum”, unnerving many investors with his apparent displeasure. This and other shocks sent that yield back up to its peak of 4.6% on March 28. But it was short lived. In the weeks that followed, evidence of slowing activity and firming inflation mounted. Barely two months after Greenspan’s “conundrum” speech, the conundrum was back. In May there was a brief reversal after the employment report, but by mid month, fairly tame core inflation data sent the yield spread of the ten-year over the 90-day Treasury Bill to repeated multi-year record low levels. The yield on 10-year Treasury Notes fell 0.65% and 0.35% to 4.0%, for the twelve months and six months, respectively, but the yield on 13-week Treasury Bills soared 1.8% and 0.70%, respectively for the same periods, to 2.9%. The broader Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2) returned 6.8% for the full year and 2.9% for the six months. High yield bonds betrayed their equity-like characteristics and after a powerful first half, struggled in the second; the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index(3) added just 0.6% in the second half the year, while gaining 10.3% for the full year.

 

The U.S. equities market in the form of the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(4), gained 8.2% including dividends for the year ended May 31, 2005. For the six months, the Index gained 2.4%, less than half the gain of the previous six months and only squeezed out in the last two weeks of May. At this point the market was trading at a price-to-earnings level of just under 16 times earnings for the current fiscal year. The market had powered ahead in the last two months of 2004, energized by the clear presidential election result, retreating oil prices after the October record and a bullish November employment report. By January this was being seen as overly optimistic and stocks fell back. But encouraging elections in Iraq and an upsurge in merger and acquisition activity relieved the gloom somewhat. This was followed through in February as fourth quarter 2004 corporate earnings showed average growth above 20%. A better than expected employment report on March 4 propelled the S&P 500 Index to its best close of the six month period the next day. But the sell off from this high to the end of April was swift, as fears of slowing growth, rising inflation, and slumping consumer confidence sent the market to its 2004 low point in mid-April. May started as April had left off, with investors uneasy at the apparent combination of a “soft patch” in the economy and the Federal Reserve intent on increasing short-term interest rates. Indeed the first two business days saw a weak manufacturing report and another rise in the Federal Funds rate. But a very strong employment report, record home sales and a first quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth estimate revised up to 3.5%, within which profits were still growing at a healthy 13.8%, soon had many commentators asking if the soft patch had just been an illusion. Investors were relieved as oil prices remained well below the April high level, much of the time under $50 per barrel. As is often the case when the mood shifts, formerly worrisome news was now being shrugged off. Significant upward revisions to earlier estimates of wages and salaries growth, experts argued, would surely safeguard the future spending of the all-important U.S. consumer, notwithstanding the FOMC. Our year ended with a sharp rebound in consumer confidence.

 

In international equities markets for the six months ended May 31, 2005, Japan fell 0.9% in dollars, as measured by the MSCI Japan Index(5) with net dividends, but rose 3.9% in yen. For the full year, the Index gained 3.9% in dollars and 1.3% in yen. The headline of the half-year was undoubtedly that Japan was in recession again for the fourth time in thirteen years, GDP falling in the middle two quarters of 2004. Yet it bounced back in the first calendar quarter of 2005 and by the end of May improved corporate profitability and household spending had raised

spirits. Meanwhile, for the six months European ex UK markets gained 2.3% in dollars, over four times that in local currency, and 17.9% for the year, as measured by the MSCI Europe ex UK Index(6) with net dividends, reaching a near three-year high. While the macro picture is depressing with unemployment over 10% in France and Germany and domestic demand weak, markets were encouraged by attractive price earnings ratios and merger and acquisition prospects. The UK market rose 15.0% for the full year and 2.6% in dollars between November and May, based on the MSCI UK Index(7) with net dividends. In pounds, the market rose 15.7% and 7.6%, respectively, for the same periods. The healthy UK economy patently started to slow after five interest rate increases through August. By the end of May, manufacturing was contracting, housing prices were receding and household spending was cooling. Still, stocks were underpinned by fairly modest valuations, a dividend yield well above 3% and again, periodic merger and acquisition excitement.

ING CONVERTIBLE FUND

 

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

 

Investment Types*

*            Excludes other assets and liabilities of -27.8% of net assets and 27.7% of net assets for short-term investments related to securities lending.

The ING Convertible Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Anuradha Sahai, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of –0.72% compared to the Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Excluding Mandatory All Qualities (“ML Convertible”) Index(1) which returned –0.08% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund was relatively defensively positioned versus its peer group, as well as the ML Convertible Index at the beginning of the year. The barbell approach adopted earlier in the year was modified somewhat to a more middle of the road approach with most of its weighting in total return convertibles, with neither a pure bond-like tilt nor a pure equity tilt. With the collapse of volatility in the convertible market, especially in the latter half of the year, this hurt Fund performance as the option value of the middle of the road convertibles diminished significantly. Thus middle of the road convertibles have fared the worst so far in 2005.

 

Given the strength in oil prices through most of this period, energy was the biggest contributor to Index returns. Slight overweighting and security selection aided the Fund in beating the benchmark in the energy sector, which was the best performing sector in the Fund. Security selection was the major driver of performance in the consumer discretionary, healthcare, and consumer staples sectors as well. Underweighting airlines aided the Fund in outperforming the benchmark in the transportation sector as well. This was offset by significant underperformance in telecommunications, caused by pronounced underperformance of one holding where the company’s fundamental deterioration was announced during one of the earnings calls and which the Fund has since been underweighted. The Fund also underperformed in the industrial sector due to a couple of holdings not meeting earnings expectations during a quarter and another introducing management integrity issues. The Fund has sold these holdings subsequently. Media and technology also underperformed with certain sub sectors going out of favor and due to gains given back during this period versus the previous twelve month period.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: U.S. economic indicators continue to improve, but we believe that equity market valuations will improve more modestly going further into the calendar year. A weak dollar, combined with relatively high oil prices, could still act as a damper to economic growth going forward. Inflationary fears, along with geopolitical concerns, could further decrease the visibility for the financial markets.

 

The Fund still maintains a middle-of-the-road approach with heavier weightings in balanced total return convertibles, as we believe the market has cheapened significantly over the last few months, with the expectation that these should outperform going forward.

 

In these volatile times, we believe convertible securities are attractive relative to comparable asset classes due to their bond floor downside protection while providing equity-like upside participation. Despite the fear of higher rates, strong balance sheets and low default risk should keep bond floors from dropping much. We continue to look for companies across the spectrum that will benefit from a gradually recovering economy as we expect the market will reward companies that typically profit in the recovery part of the cycle. A bottom up approach which relies on fundamental analysis and careful security selection within our broader top down sector positioning strategy continues to be the foundation for our investment decisions.

The ING Equity and Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a balance of long-term capital appreciation and current income. The equity portion of the Fund is managed by James A. Vail, CFA. The bond portion of the Fund is managed by James B. Kauffmann. Mary Ann Fernandez and Shiv Mehta are jointly responsible for establishing the overall asset allocation strategy for the Fund. All are with ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ending May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of 4.31% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(1), the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2), and the Composite Index (60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index), which returned 8.24%, 6.82% and 7.78%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The principal negative factor of the Fund’s equity component that caused it to underperform the S&P 500 Index was our information technology holdings, particularly previously held NVIDIA Corp., Hewlett Packard Co. and Corning, Inc., as well as International Business Machines Corp. Healthcare was another disappointing performer as Biogen Idec, Inc. sold off dramatically after a new drug was withdrawn from the market. Earlier in the year, previously held Boston Scientific Corp., encountered problems with its stent product line, which also hurt overall returns.

 

Performance was bolstered by holdings in the consumer discretionary sector, particularly Marriott International, Inc. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Carnival Corp. and Nordstrom, Inc. The industrial sector also provided positive returns as truck manufacturer PACCAR, Inc. and previously held Rockwell Automation, Inc. were strong performers. Finally being underweight consumer staples aided performance. Earlier in the period energy detracted from performance, but more recently exerted a positive influence.

 

Overall, the fixed income portion of the Fund performed in line with its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, despite the different impacts our short duration stance had over the twelve-month period. While a short duration stance was helpful to performance in the first part of the fiscal year, by the end of the third calendar quarter of 2004 it was a source of underperformance relative to the benchmark especially since we concentrated our underweight in the resilient shorter maturities of the yield curve. Again the short duration posture helped in the first calendar quarter of 2005, but it was a drag on performance as we ended the Fund’s fiscal year in May. During the first six months of the reporting period, we reduced our exposure to longer-dated and lower-rated corporates in the face of stretched valuations. In fact, our exposure to credit-sensitive sectors at the close of the period was below the Index on a market-weight and a contribution-to-duration basis. At times the portfolio yield was slightly less than the Index.

 

Exposure to emerging markets debt significantly helped returns until the calendar turned to 2005. We reduced exposure to both higher risk sectors early in January as the compensation for risk became inadequate. Once the tide turned against high yield later in the first calendar quarter of 2005, the underweight was advantageous. Careful credit analysis also pointed to a significant underweight in the autos for most of the period; however, we reintroduced some of the names in May.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook:  We remain defensively postured as idiosyncratic risk is on the rise. The increase in shareholder friendly initiatives — special dividends, share buy-backs, mergers, etc — is decidedly bondholder unfriendly. We continue to actively manage our sector allocation and security selection exposures. Careful security selection is never more important than during periods of volatility. However, valuations have improved lately and we expect to reduce our tactical treasury allocation and purchase high quality securities that have widened with the market. Specifically, we continue to like the utility, insurance, and banking sectors.

 

The Fund closed the period neutral home mortgages, overweight asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and moderately underweight the short and intermediate portions of the yield curve. We are also underweight agencies. Despite the addition of a number of new positions in May our credit allocation remains lower than the benchmark. Indeed, intermittent squalls in the bond market may provide some tactical trading opportunities in disparaged sectors and issuers. With some 75% of the mortgage market vulnerable to refinancing, we may decrease our allocation in the very near future but will maintain holdings in adjustable rate mortgages and collateralized mortgage obligations.

The ING Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return. The Fund is co-managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, CFA, Chief Investment Officer and Sherry L. Rexroad, Managing Director, ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 28.82% compared to the Dow Jones Wilshire (“DJW”) Real Estate Securities Index(1), which returned 31.57% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund trailed its benchmark, but the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index(3) and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(4).

 

The best returns by sector in the last year were from the mall, shopping center, hotel, and storage sectors. Generally, our sector allocation was a positive contributor, as we were overweight in the retail sectors. However, our modest weighting in the healthcare sector, which is not in the benchmark, was a drag on performance during the last year. The healthcare sector was the clear laggard among property stocks advancing “only” 22.2%. Stock selection was the source of our underperformance in the last year. Our stock selection in the shopping center, hotel and industrial sectors outperformed the sector averages. Unfortunately, the underperformance in the mall, office and apartment sectors offset the positive sector selection and stock selection in other sectors. The only significant change in sector allocation has been the elimination of our healthcare positions and the addition of a 5% allocation to the storage sector, which we like for the rapidly improving fundamentals in this property type. We remain overweight the mall sector, which continues to exhibit the strongest fundamentals of any property type. Even the small amount of cash held on average during the year had a drag on performance in such strong markets.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Real estate stocks continue to be strong performers relative to the rest of the stock market. Volatility, however, has increased in the last 18 months. In January, many Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) fell sharply, but have since regained all those losses and more. Traditionally real estate stock returns have only about 65% of the volatility of the S&P 500 Index and half the volatility of the Russell 2000 Index(5). The high and consistent level of dividend income has been one of the reasons for REITs lower historic volatility. REIT dividends increased by about 3% last year and are expected to grow by a similar amount again this year.

 

The economy and interest rates will write the story for REITs in 2005. With the spread between dividend yields and bonds at below average levels, the action of the Federal Reserve becomes more important in 2005. A policy of slow-measured increases in short-term rates and a modest increase in long-term rates is generally good for REITs. A sharp increase in the rate of increases or a dramatic rise in 10-year rates would likely hurt REIT stock prices.

 

As of the end of May, REITs are trading at fair value relative to three broad measures of value. By one measure, REITs look expensive. The average REIT trades at about a 14.2 multiple of earnings, which is well above the 12.2 average multiple since 1986. However, REITs are trading at a dividend yield of 4.8%, which is 80 basis points (0.80%) higher than the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond (versus an average spread over the last 20 years of approximately 60 basis points). Finally, we estimate the average REIT stock price is about a 2% premium to estimated Net Asset Value (the estimate of the private market value of a company’s real estate assets net of debt). In other words, public real estate equity valuations are in line with the much larger private market values. Approximately 90% of U.S. real estate is owned in the private market.

 

As long as new stock issuance remains disciplined as it was in 2003 and 2004, we believe stock prices should improve with earnings growth. The pipeline of initial public offerings (IPO’s) remains modest. As always, we will be discriminating buyers of these new entrants to the public real estate company universe. In the meantime, we expect REITs, which offer relatively high yields and solid earnings prospects, to retain their appeal to investors, given the alternatives.

The ING Disciplined LargeCap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Hugh T.M. Whelan Sr., and Douglas Coté, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 10.01% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(1), which returned 8.24% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index due to security selection, especially in the healthcare, utilities and information technology sectors. This positive performance was offset slightly by disappointing stock performance in the industrials and consumer staples sectors. Among the largest contributors to performance were our overweights in Apple Computer, Inc. and TXU Corp. Our overweights in Ford Motor Co. and Gap, Inc. were among stocks that detracted from alpha over the year.

 

Soaring profits, outstanding product sales led by the iPod, iPod mini and the iPod Shuffle and rising earnings forecasts drove Apple Computer, Inc. up significantly. Also driving profitability is additional economic benefit from new retail store openings. Shares of TXU Corp., the largest Texas power supplier, rose on strong earnings and the announcement of a four-fold dividend increase and improved outlook for 2004 and 2005. Management has been committed to transforming TXU Corp. into a high performance utility company with continued improvement in profitability. Not unlike other U.S. automakers, Ford Motor Co. has experienced falling sales (especially in SUVs), high inventories and production cuts. Their planned price cuts will help to clear inventories but will hurt profits. In April, the company reduced its 2005 earnings per share outlook and stated that it did not expect to meet the 2006 pretax income objective. Gap, Inc.’s stock price dropped as slowing sales momentum across all retail concepts hampered profitability. Margin declines and costs associated with support of new growth initiatives also hindered profitability.

 

Individual security selection was aided by the effectiveness of factors historically successful at identifying outperforming stocks, including price momentum, analyst estimate revision, free cash flow to price, capital expense change and change in accruals. Only trailing price to earnings had a negative impact on performance over the year.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: During May, the economic outlook improved somewhat and the markets finally responded like the recovery had legs. First quarter gross domestic product came in higher than expected and the economy is creating jobs at a healthy pace. Retail sales and industrial production are moderating and energy prices have been ticking downward. Profit growth is at a rate that is more in line with a mid-cycle recovery. Meanwhile, long-term rates remain amazingly low and as a result housing continues to be strong. All of which has had a positive impact on the equity markets. Our research builds structured portfolios of stocks with fundamental characteristics that we believe will translate into a performance advantage over the benchmark portfolio. The evaluation includes every stock in the index. We believe that the most recent analysis positions the Fund to capitalize on holdings with superior growth, profitability and balance sheet strength relative to their valuations in terms of earnings and cash flows. The Fund is currently overweight in the information technology, energy and healthcare sectors and underweight in the consumer discretionary, financials, utilities and telecommunications sectors. However, overall sector exposures are by design quite close to the S&P 500 Index so that nearly all of our relative performance is driven by individual stock selection.

The ING LargeCap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by
Andrew J. Shilling, Senior Vice President, and John A. Boselli, Senior-Vice President, Wellington Management Company, LLP — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class Q shares provided a total return of 1.81% compared to the Russell 1000 Growth Index(1) and the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(2), which returned 3.33% and 8.24%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Investor concerns over varying economic reports, fears of rising interest rates, record oil prices and uncertain corporate earnings growth came in waves throughout the year. In this volatile environment, the Fund maintained its focus on stock selection, which overall added value relative to the benchmark. Conversely, sector allocation detracted from relative returns. Our overweight to the information technology sector was the largest source of negative allocation. However, our stock selection within the sector was strongly positive, as was our security selection within financials. Stock selection was weakest within the industrials and healthcare sectors.

 

Digital wireless communications solutions company Research In Motion Ltd., the top positive contributor to relative and absolute Fund returns, performed well for the year on strong subscriber growth and pricing. Internet media companies Yahoo!, Inc. and Google, Inc. benefited from favorable trends for online advertising and paid search. Medical solutions company Guidant Corp. performed well on strength in its cardiac rhythm management business. We eliminated our position after Johnson & Johnson announced plans in December 2004 to acquire the company.

 

Negative returns from Apollo Group, Inc. (consumer discretionary) and a handful of healthcare stocks detracted from absolute returns during the year. Post-secondary educator Apollo Group, Inc., the bottom contributor on a relative and absolute basis, declined as education stocks were generally weak due to increased regulatory scrutiny, slowing growth and increased costs of acquiring students. In healthcare, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology stocks were generally weak during the year. Of our holdings, Eli Lilly & Co., Elan Corp. and Forest Laboratories, Inc. were particularly weak. Elan Corp. withdrew its much-heralded Tysabri treatment for multiple sclerosis as it was associated with patient deaths. We eliminated our position in Elan Corp. during the year.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: We expect economic expansion during the remainder of 2005, but we are preparing for a deceleration from recent growth rates. This year will not feel as good as the recovery we have experienced over the past two years, and we expect the main engine of growth during that time, the U.S. consumer, may have trouble keeping pace. We expect the commercial and industrial side of the economy to pick up the slack.

 

In this uncertain environment, we continue to emphasize competitively-advantaged, share-gaining industry leaders that should perform well in most economic scenarios. Our strategy is to build a diversified portfolio on a stock-by-stock basis, identifying companies with sustainable strong revenue and cash flow growth. Sector weights are a “fall out” of stock selection. At the end of the year we held overweight positions in pro-cyclical sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials, while remaining underweight consumer staples and healthcare.

The ING MidCap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Matthew S. Price, and David C. Campbell, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 8.27% compared to the Russell MidCap Growth Index(1) and the Russell MidCap Index(2), which returned 10.57% and 17.21%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The primary cause of the Fund’s underperformance during the fiscal year was disappointing stock performance in the healthcare, information technology and financial sectors. On the positive side, strong stock selections in the consumer discretionary, energy and industrials sectors, along with an overweight in each of these sectors, contributed to returns. Several stocks in the technology and healthcare sectors, did particularly poorly, and most of these have been sold. Among the biggest detractors were TIBCO Software, Inc, Omnicare, Inc., Broadcom Corp. and Tekelec. Stocks that contributed the most to the Fund’s gains included energy stocks such as Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., Peabody Energy Corp. and XTO Energy, Inc. Retailers, Michaels Stores, Inc. and Chico’s FAS, Inc. also did particularly well.

 

Entering the new fiscal year, the consumer discretionary sector remains the most heavily weighted. Relative to the Russell Midcap Growth Index benchmark, the Fund is overweighted in the consumer discretionary, energy, and industrials sectors and underweighted relative to the benchmark in the information technology and financials sectors.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: We believe that the outlook for mid-cap growth stocks is moderately attractive. It appears that economic growth is moderate, as is inflation. The Federal Reserve’s tightening may well be nearing an end, which generally bodes well for the stock market and for small- and mid-sized growth stocks. Corporate profits continue to grow, although most likely at a decelerating rate. Exogenous factors — such as terrorist incidents — remain unpredictable, of course. The Fund continues to be built on a stock-by-stock, bottom-up basis, with stock selection based on positive earnings growth, relative price strength, and reasonable valuation. Portfolio construction relies less on any prediction of the market and/or the economy.

The ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Matthew S. Price, CFA and David C. Campbell, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 8.66% compared to the Russell 2000 Growth Index(1) and the Russell 2000 Index(2), which returned 4.38% and 9.82%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s performance was primarily a result of good stock selection in the consumer discretionary, energy, and information technology sectors. In addition, overweighting the consumer discretionary sector, a modest overweighting in the energy sector, and underweighting of the weak technology sector, contributed positively to performance. On the negative side, disappointing results in the industrial sector, and a small overweight in the healthcare sector detracted from performance.

 

Several stocks posted big gains during the fiscal year. Consistent with our discipline, we continue to hold most of them. Among the biggest gainers were Southwestern Energy Co., Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (which was sold because its market capitalization had become very large), Penn National Gaming, Inc., Micros Systems, Inc., and CACI International, Inc. There were also some significant decliners in the Fund, largely in the more volatile technology and healthcare sectors. Among the largest performance detractors were Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Tekelec, Integrated Silicon Solutions, Martek Biosciences Corp., and Gevity HR, Inc. All of these, as well as many other poorly performing stocks, are no longer held by the Fund.

 

Entering the new fiscal year, the consumer discretionary sector remains the most overweighted position in the portfolio relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index sector weight. The Fund is underweighted in financials and is approximately equally weighted relative to the Index in energy, healthcare, and information technology.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: We believe that the outlook for small-cap growth stocks is moderately attractive. It appears that economic growth is moderate, as is inflation. The Federal Reserve’s tightening may well be nearing an end, which generally bodes well for the stock market and for small growth stocks. Corporate profits continue to grow, albeit perhaps at a decelerating rate. Exogenous factors — such as terrorist incidents — remain unpredictable, of course. The Fund continues to be built on a stock-by-stock, bottom-up basis, with stock selection based on positive earnings growth, relative price strength, and reasonable valuation; portfolio construction relies less on any prediction of the market and/or the economy.

The ING LargeCap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser. Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee is responsible for making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.

 

Performance: For the period August 2, 2004, inception of the class, to May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 7.13% compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index(1) and the Russell 1000 Index(2), which returned 14.42% and 11.40%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection for the Fund resulted in greater exposure to the automobiles industry than the benchmark (Russell 1000 Value Index), which weighed on relative performance. The manager’s company-by-company research and analysis to identify stocks trading below intrinsic value resulted in low exposure to the oil and gas industry compared to the benchmark, which contributed to relative under performance for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2005.

 

Gains for holdings in the diversified telecommunication services, insurance, and tobacco industries, including Sprint Corp., Loews Corp., and Altria Group, Inc., made the most substantial contribution to returns. Other positions posting gains during the year included El Paso Corp. and Schering-Plough Corp. Conversely, holdings in the automobiles industry, such as Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp., tended to decline.

 

During the year, we sold May Department Stores Co., HCA , and American Electric Power Co., Inc. as their market prices advanced toward our estimate of their fair values. We purchased shares of Aon Corp., American International Group, Inc, and UnumProvident Corp. at prices that we consider attractive.

 

As of May 31, 2005, the Fund’s most significant weighting was in the telecommunications industry.

 

Market Outlook: The Fund’s weightings for industries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions regarding industry growth, interest rates, or other macroeconomic variables. Instead, these weightings stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities.

 

Our investment philosophy continues to focus on fundamental company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we search for and hold stocks that are trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy may provide patient investors with favorable results.

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

 

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 6.79% compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index(1) and the Russell 1000 Index(2), which returned 15.49% and 9.42%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed its benchmark primarily due to generally weak stock selection, as overall sector allocation for the fiscal year was reasonably neutral. The financial sector, which is the largest sector weight in both the Fund’s portfolio and the benchmark with nearly a 33% weighting, was the largest detractor from overall results due to relative stock selection. In fact, several well-known financial stocks, including American International Group, Inc., Fannie Mae and Morgan Stanley, posted negative returns over the last twelve months. Further, a consistent overweight in the strong performing energy sector was more than offset by stock selection. While there were many energy stocks in the Fund that contributed positively to results, it was difficult to keep pace with the benchmark sector return of nearly 40%. As an example of the sector’s strength, even the largest energy company in the world, Exxon Mobil Corp., reacted favorably to surging energy prices and advanced by 32.7% during the most recent twelve months. Finally, the Fund had little exposure to the utility sector as these stocks generally perform poorly when interest rates increase. However, the long end of the yield curve remained reasonably steady as the Federal Reserve raised short-term rates and the utility sector had strong performance. As a result, this sector acted as another drag on overall results.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: We believe the Fund is well positioned for the environment that we foresee. The Federal Reserve may be hard pressed to continue aggressively raising interest rates in the face of a decelerating economy, and for that reason we have been increasing our exposure to financials. There are other potential sources of support for the stock market, including continued merger and acquisition activity, share repurchases from strong corporate cash flows, and further dividend increases. Also, many measures of stock market valuation suggest that common stocks are reasonably valued. Further, yields in the bond market have retreated to lower levels as further signs of a slowing economy become evident. As a result, we remain fully invested in inexpensive value stocks that have a positive catalyst in sight or have become, in our opinion, temporarily mispriced by the market.

 


             Effective April 29, 2005, Scott Lewis became Portfolio Manager of the ING MagnaCap Fund. Prior to April 29, 2005, the Fund was managed by William F. Coughlin, CFA.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 3.64% compared to the Russell MidCap Value Index(1) and the Russell MidCap Index(2), which returned 22.15% and 17.21%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: On a relative contribution basis, the Fund’s position in the healthcare providers and services industries and the information technology industry underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index, or benchmark, return from these industries for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2005. In addition, stock selection for the Fund resulted in greater exposure to the auto components industry than the benchmark, which also weighted on relative performance.

 

Gains for holdings in the tobacco industry, the oil gas and consumable fuels industry, and the specialty retail industry helped drive performance for the 12-month period ending May 31, 2005. Top performers from these industries included Carolina Group, El Paso Corp., and Toys “R” Us, Inc. Conversely, holdings in industries such as information technology services and communications equipment tended to decline. Among the positions from these industries weighing on performance were Unisys Corp. and UTStarcom, Inc. During the period, we sold Dillard’s, Inc, Lubrizol Corp., and York International Corp. as their market prices advanced toward our estimate of their fair values. We purchased shares of Assured Guaranty Ltd., Tellabs, Inc., and Delphi Corp. at prices that we consider attractive.

Based on a $1,000,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING SmallCap Value Fund against the Indices indicated. An index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund’s performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.

 

The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

 

The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.

 

Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Please log on to www.ingfunds.com or call (800) 992-0180 to get performance through the most recent month end.

 

This report contains statements that may be “forward-looking” statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the “forward-looking” statements.

 

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers, only through the end of the period as stated on the cover. The portfolio managers’ views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

 

Fund holdings are subject to change daily.

 

(1)         The Russell 2000 Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

 

(2)         The Russell 2000 Index consists of the smallest 2,000 companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of 3000 U.S. companies based on total market capitalization.

 

(3)         Since inception performance for index is shown from March 1, 2002.

 

(4)         Since inception performance for index is shown from May 1, 2002.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)

 

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

 

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2004 to May 31, 2005.

 

Actual Expenses

 

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors / Trustees and Shareholders
ING Equity Trust and ING Investment Funds, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of ING Convertible Fund, ING Equity and Bond Fund, ING Real Estate Fund, ING Disciplined LargeCap Fund, ING LargeCap Growth Fund, ING MidCap Opportunities Fund, ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund, ING LargeCap Value Fund, ING MidCap Value Fund, ING SmallCap Value Fund, each a series of ING Equity Trust, and ING MagnaCap Fund, a series of ING Investment Funds, Inc., including the portfolios of investments, as of May 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods since May 1, 1999. 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, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. 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 ING Convertible Fund, ING Equity and Bond Fund, ING Real Estate Fund, ING Disciplined LargeCap Fund, ING LargeCap Growth Fund, ING MidCap Opportunities Fund, ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund, ING LargeCap Value Fund, ING MidCap Value Fund, ING SmallCap Value Fund, and ING MagnaCap Fund as of May 31, 2005, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes To Financial Statements AS OF MAY 31, 2005

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Organization. The ING Funds contained within this book are part of either ING Equity Trust (“IET”) or ING Investment Funds, Inc. (“IIF”) both of which are open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

IET is a Massachusetts business trust organized on June 12, 1998 with twenty-five separate series. Ten of which are discussed in this report: ING Convertible Fund (“Convertible”), ING Equity and Bond Fund (“Equity and Bond”), ING Real Estate Fund (“Real Estate”) ING Disciplined LargeCap Fund (“Disciplined LargeCap”), ING LargeCap Growth Fund (“LargeCap Growth”), ING MidCap Opportunities Fund (“MidCap Opportunities”), ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund (“SmallCap Opportunities”), ING LargeCap Value Fund (“LargeCap Value”), ING MidCap Value Fund (“MidCap Value”) and ING SmallCap Value Fund (“SmallCap Value”), collectively (the “Funds”). IIF is a Maryland Corporation organized on July 7, 1969 with one Portfolio, ING MagnaCap Fund (“MagnaCap”).

 

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, shareholder servicing fees 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 results 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Directors/Trustees (‘‘Board’’), in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. Securities traded on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by the 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 the Fund determines its NAV. In such a case, the Fund will use the fair 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

 

56


 

Notes To Financial Statements AS OF MAY 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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, the 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 the Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time the Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less 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.

 

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 taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and 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 the 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.

 

57


 

Notes To Financial Statements AS OF MAY 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation 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 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

Disciplined LargeCap

 

MagnaCap

LargeCap Growth

 

 

MidCap Opportunities

 

Quarterly

SmallCap Opportunities

 

Convertible

LargeCap Value

 

Equity and Bond

MidCap Value

 

Real Estate

SmallCap Value

 

 

 

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.

 

F.                                      Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, where by a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain for income tax purposes.

 

G.                                     Use of Estimates. Management of the Funds has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

H.                                    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 the 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 may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Funds may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and

 

58


 

Notes To Financial Statements AS OF MAY 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is eercised. 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 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 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 or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of 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.

 

The Equity and Bond Fund, at times, may purchase FNMA/GNMA certificates on a delayed delivery, forward or when-ssued basis with payment and delivery often taking place a month or more after the initiation of the transaction. It is the Fund’s policy to record when-issued FNMA/GNMA certificates (and the corresponding obligation to pay for the securities) at the time the purchase commitment becomes fixed — generally on the trade date. It is also the Fund’s policy to segregate assets to cover its commitments for when-issued securities on trade date.

 

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.

If, after December 31, 2005, ING Investments elects not to renew the side agreement, the expense limits will revert to the limits listed in the table above. For Disciplined LargeCap and SmallCap Opportunities, the Funds will no longer have an expense limitation. There is no guarantee that this side agreement will continue after that date. The side agreement will only renew if ING Investments elects to renew it. Any fees waived pursuant to the side agreement shall not be eligible for recoupment.

 

The Investment Manager may at a later date recoup from a Fund management fees waived and other expenses assumed by the Investment Manager during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, a Fund’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Manager of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations for each Fund. Amounts payable by the Investment Manager are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities for each Fund.

 

As of May 31, 2005, the cumulative amounts of waived or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Manager, and the related expiration dates are as follows:

The Expense Limitation Agreements are contractual and shall renew automatically for one-year terms unless ING Investments, LLC provides written notice of the termination of the Expense Limitation Agreement within 90 days of the end of the then current term.

 

NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT

 

All of the Funds included in this report, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager have entered into an unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York for an aggregate amount of $125,000,000. The proceeds may be used to: (1) temporarily finance the purchase and sale of securities; (2) finance the redemption of shares of an investor in the Funds; and (3) enable the Funds to meet other emergency expenses as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.09% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. The following Funds utilized the line of credit during the year ended May 31, 2005:

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under an agreement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. Government securities. The collateral must be in an amount equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The 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

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

 

The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of May 31, 2005:

 

 

 

Paid-in

 

Undistributed
Net Investment
Income On

 

Accumulated
Net Realized
Gains

NOTE 15 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS

 

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

 

In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those 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 Board.

 

Investments has advised the Board that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated. Based on the internal review, Investments has advised the Board that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.

Notes To Financial Statements AS OF MAY 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 15 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)

 

More specifically, Investments reported to the Board that, at this time, these instances include the following:

 

                  ING has identified three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”) has received a notice from the staff of the NASD informing IFD that it has made a preliminary determination to recommend that disciplinary action be brought against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with these arrangements.

 

                  Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) has identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.

 

                  ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.

 

                  In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.

 

For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 9, 2004. These Forms 8-K can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Board are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds. Investments reported to the Board that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance.

 

Accordingly, Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.

 

                  ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.

 

                  ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.

 

                  The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.

 

                  ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.

 

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

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

 

2



 

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.

 

3



 

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.

The Board has a Nominating Committee for the purpose of considering and presenting to the Board candidates it proposes for nomination to fill Independent Trustee vacancies on the Board.  The Committee currently consists of all Independent Trustees of the Board (6 individuals).  The Nominating Committee operates pursuant to a Charter approved by the Board. The primary purpose of the Nominating Committee is to consider and present to the Board the candidates it proposes for nomination to fill vacancies on the Board. In evaluating candidates, the Nominating Committee may consider a variety of factors, but it has not at this time set any specific minimum qualifications that must be met.  Specific qualifications of candidates for Board membership will be based on the needs of the Board at the time of nomination.

Any such shareholder nomination should include at a minimum the following information as to each individual proposed for nomination as trustee: such individual’s written consent to be named in the proxy statement as a nominee (if nominated) and to serve as a trustee (if elected), and all information relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in the solicitation of proxies for election of trustees, or is otherwise required, in each case under applicable federal securities laws, rules and regulations.

 

The Secretary shall submit all nominations received in a timely manner to the Nominating Committee.  To be timely, any such submission must be delivered to the Fund’s Secretary not earlier than the 90th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made, by either disclosure in a press release or in a document publicly filed by the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
