ING Tactical Asset Allocation Fund - Class I

Fund Description

Overview

  • Follows a tactical asset allocation strategy which seeks to evaluate the attractiveness of a range of asset classes across various regions and countries and to position the portfolio to benefit from pricing inefficiencies.
  • Differs from traditional “bottom up” approaches because it seeks to derive its source of outperformance from macro or “top down” decisions.
  • Invests primarily in securities that make up the S&P 500 Index, equity securities of issuers located within and outside the United States, bond and currency markets, and exchange-traded funds (“ETF's”).

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to outperform the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 ® Index). The Fund's investment objective is not fundamental and may be changed without a shareholder vote.

Sovereign Debt issued or guaranteed by foreign government entities are subject to the risk that a government entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt. Other risks of the Fund include but are not limited to: Convertible/Debt Securities Risks; Market Trends Risks; Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) Risks; Inability to Sell Securities Risks; Other Investment Companies Risks; Price Volatility Risks; and Securities Lending Risks.Investors should consult the Fund's Prospectus and Statements of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of the Fund's risks.
