Current Maximum Sales Charge: 5.75%
1 The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund. This agreement excludes interest, taxes, brokerage, extraordinary expenses and is subject to possible recoupment. The expense limits will continue through at least March 1, 2010. Expenses are being waived to the contractual cap.
2 The Fund's Acquired (Underlying) Funds Fees and Expenses are based on a weighted average of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. The amount of fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds borne by a Fund will vary based on the Fund's allocation of assets to, and annualized net expenses of, the particular Underlying Funds during the Fund's fiscal year. The total expense limit for the Fund, including the expenses for the Acquired (Underlying) Funds, is 1.65% for the Class A shares, 2.40% for Class B and Class C shares, 1.40% for Class I shares and 1.90% for the Class R shares.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
SEC fund returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions and include a sales charge. Net Asset Value fund returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Total return for less than one year is not annualized. Results would have been less favorable if the sales charge were included.
It is important to note that the Fund has a limited operating history. Performance over a longer period of time may be more meaningful than short-term performance.
Principal Risks
All investing involves risks of fluctuating prices and the uncertainties of rates of return and yield inherent in investing. Foreign Investing does pose special risks including currency fluctuation, economic and political risks not found in investments that are solely domestic. Emerging Market stocks may be especially volatile. The Fund may use Derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance. Affiliated Funds Risk may subject ING Investments to potential conflicts of interest in selecting Underlying Funds because fees paid to by some Underlying Funds are higher than fees paid by other Underlying Funds. May Allocate Assets to a fund or market that underperforms other asset classes. May invest in Underlying Funds that invest in Small- and Mid-Sized Companies, which may be more susceptible to greater price volatility than large companies. Other risks of the Fund include but are not limited to: Convertible Securities Risks; Market Trends Risks; Other Investment Companies Risks; Price Volatility Risks. Investors should consult the Funds' Prospectus and Statements of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of the Funds' risks.
