PRESIDENT'S LETTER -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Shareholder: We are pleased to present the Classes I and Q November 30, 2002 Semi-Annual Report for the ING Funds. There are thirteen Funds included in this Semi-Annual Report. The six months ended November 30, 2002 proved to be a difficult period as a weak economy and continued accounting scandals in the corporate sector took their toll on the U.S. equity markets. Amid the difficulties of the past six months, we were successful in integrating the operations of various mutual fund groups that have been acquired by ING Groep N.V. over the past two years. The ING Funds family now offers more than 100 open- and closed-end funds and variable products with a wide range of investment objectives and styles. At ING Funds, we are dedicated to providing core investments for serious investors. Our goal is to understand and anticipate your needs and objectives, and manage our products accordingly. We greatly appreciate your continued investment in the ING Funds. Sincerely, /s/ James M. Hennessy James M. Hennessy President ING Funds Services, LLC December 15, 2002 1

ING GROWTH + VALUE FUND Portfolio Managers' Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Louis Navellier, Chief Investment Officer; Alan Alpers, Senior Portfolio Manager, Navellier Fund Management, Inc. GOAL: The ING Growth + Value Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in stocks from a universe of small to mid capitalization U.S. companies with market capitalization ranging from $500 million to $10 billion. MARKET OVERVIEW: The current bear market is now longer and deeper than the 1973-1974 bear market, especially if an investor uses the NASDAQ market as a benchmark. Many high dividend-yielding stocks were unmercifully punished during the market exodus that bottomed in late July and again in early October. Unfortunately, between the stock market sell off and the housing bubble losing some air, consumers have definitely turned more cautious in recent months. However, consumers continue to refinance their homes and lower their respective mortgage payments. Although interest rates remained low much to the benefit of those purchasing new homes or refinancing existing homes, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") was forced to admit that deflation may be the greater threat to overall economic recovery. Evidence of deflationary forces was exhibited in the third quarter as U.S. non-financial businesses saw prices for their products fall 1.2% from the year before. The uncertainty surrounding the possibility of a war with Iraq continues to add to investor anxiety and makes financial markets nervous. However, once decisive action is taken, the uncertainty that has been plaguing financial markets will likely dissipate and the stock market could rebound. Of course, the U.S. or the U.N. should not attack Iraq just to boost world stock markets, but during every major attack, such as the Gulf War over a decade ago, the stock market rallied strongly. Hopefully a U.S. or U.N. assault on Iraq will likely be very short-lived and significantly benefit the world as a whole. The recent rally that began in early October has been dominated by money-losing technology stocks that appeared to be rallying based on short covering. Although these short-covering rallies can be spectacular (technology stocks rallied approximately 45% a year ago on short-covering), these rallies often fizzle fast. Fortunately, utility stocks recently joined the rally after the Fed cut key interest rates, so it appears that the stock market rally maybe now spreading to other industry groups. We expect that the stock market rally will likely continue to spread to more industry groups soon. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ended November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class Q shares returned -22.21% compared to the Russell 2000 Index, which returned -16.03% and the Russell 3000 Index, which returned -12.06% over the same time period. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The strong stock selection and advantageous over-weighting in outperforming sectors that helped performance in the 2nd and 3rd quarters seriously damaged the performance of the portfolio in October and November. The two biggest impacts on the portfolio were inferior stock selection in both the consumer discretionary and technology sectors. These two sectors alone accounted for over 50% of the portfolio's underperformance. The stocks that led this market rally in October and November possessed no earnings and poor overall fundamentals. In fact, those stocks (i.e., money-losers) in the technology sector that led the rally are still down in excess of -75.0% since March 2000. We believe that this disconnect will likely be resolved in our favor, as fundamentals become important again in the new year. MARKET OUTLOOK: There is little doubt in our minds that 2003 will likely be a banner year for the stock market. Business spending is slowly improving after a three-year drought. Consumer confidence picked up after the Fed's latest 50 basis point interest rate cut. The earnings environment is expected to improve for the next two quarters, simply because the year-over-year earnings comparisons should be strong. Much of our optimism is based on the fact that the Midterm Election Cycle is historically the best year for the stock market. The Bush administration and the leadership of the new Congress are already working on a substantial economic stimulus package. The Republican leadership realizes the urgency to fix both the U.S. economy and the stock market, otherwise they may not control Congress two years from now. The only real danger that we can possibly foresee for the overall stock market is that it might go through some more wild oscillations like it did after it bottomed out during the 1973-1974 stock market collapse. Back then, the leadership of the stock market kept shifting rapidly and basically confused investors for several years. The underlying fundamentals associated with our portfolios remain stronger than ever. Even though we have added mainly technology stocks to our portfolios during the past couple months, the median price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio for our growth portfolios is still extremely reasonable. The earnings visibility for next year's forecasted earnings remains very unclear by the analyst community; however, we expect that if the average stock in our growth portfolios can sustain its recent sales growth, then it should be trading at less than 18 times next year's estimated earnings. We expect that when the overall stock market gets more volatile, our portfolios might get even stronger due to strong fundamentals associated with our average stock. During the third quarter earnings announcement season, many stocks in our growth portfolios posted earnings surprises. Unfortunately, Wall Street was not rewarding strong earnings results and surprises during the past couple months like it normally does. We expect that many small-capitalization stocks may be catching up with the overall stock market and will likely stage a strong rally in the coming months. The more fundamentally focused the stock market becomes, the better many small-capitalization stocks will likely perform since many small capitalization stocks have substantially lower price-to-earnings ratios. 2

Portfolio Managers' Report ING GROWTH + VALUE FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are now at the time of year when the stock market appears seasonally strong; this occurs between December and May, when pension contributions typically boost the inflows into the stock market. Thinly traded small-capitalization stocks usually benefit the most from the surge in trading volume that is created by the positive flow of funds into the stock market. If the Bush administration and the new Congress increase pension contribution limits for 401k plans and other pensions funds, as many anticipate, the inflows into the stock market might be more impressive than anticipated. By the time the fourth quarter earnings announcements commence in mid-January, we expect that the stock market may re-focus on those stocks that will post strong sales and earnings gains, regardless of their industries. Fundamentally, the portfolio has never been stronger, so we believe that the strong earnings results should benefit the portfolio. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS FOR THE PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2002 --------------------------------------- SINCE INCEPTION 1 YEAR 6/5/00 ------ ------ Class Q -30.34% -36.79% Russell 2000 Index -10.60% -4.85%(1) Russell 3000 Index -15.67% -13.55%(1) Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the table above illustrates the total return of ING Growth + Value Fund against the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell 3000 Index. The Indices have an inherent performance advantage over the Fund since they have no cash in their portfolios, impose no sales charges and incur no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Performance table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Total returns reflect the fact that the Investment Manager has waived certain fees and expenses otherwise payable by the Fund. Total returns would have been lower had there been no waiver to the Fund. 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. 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) Since inception performance for the index is shown from 6/1/00. PRINCIPAL RISK FACTOR(S): Exposure to financial and market risks that accompany investments in equities. In exchange for higher growth potential, investing in stocks of smaller and mid-sized companies may entail greater price volatility than investing in stocks of larger companies. Investing in funds that are concentrated in a smaller number of holdings poses greater risk than those funds with a larger number of holdings because each investment has a greater effect on the fund's performance.

ING GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND Portfolio Managers' Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Mary Lisanti, Executive Vice President and Portfolio Manager; Jeffrey Bernstein, Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager, ING Investments, LLC. GOAL: The ING Growth Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in the common stock of U.S. companies that the Portfolio Managers feel have above average prospects for growth. MARKET OVERVIEW: In the middle of the third consecutive year of difficult returns for equity investors, stocks began to show signs of life in recent months. U.S. equity benchmarks turned in their first back-to-back monthly gains over the past two months in almost a year, and the October-November returns were the strongest two-month returns since 1999. However, this was not enough to offset the declines that occurred during the previous four months. As corporate scandals widened, fears of a double-dip recession increased, and consumer confidence sagged, investors plunged into the safety of government bonds, sending the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury down 200 basis points from the end of May before bouncing. However, as it became clear that the economy was not as bad as expected, stocks began to recover and moved up strongly in October and November. Investors were encouraged by the combination of fiscal and monetary policy stimulus, as Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress, and the Federal Reserve cut rates for the twelfth time, moving rates to a 41-year low. Stocks still finished lower in the six-month period ended November 30, although they were well off the 5-year lows reached in September. The NASDAQ Composite Index dropped 8.29% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 9.36%. Small cap stocks suffered the most over the past six months, as the Russell 2000 Index plunged 16.03%. The S&P 500 Index dropped 11.49% over the same period, while the S&P Midcap Index fell 14.63%. The Fund is managed in a growth style: the portfolio management team seeks companies with above average earnings growth potential relative to companies in the S&P 500 Index. These stocks can often be more expensive on a price/earnings basis than the average stock, but look attractive relative to their growth rates. Historically, this strategy has rewarded investors over the long term; the "bet" the investor is making is that growth companies will be able to deliver on the earnings promise and therefore justify the existing P/E or perhaps even see an expansion of the P/E multiple over time. This strategy is to some extent dependent on a stable to growing economy; it has its greatest difficulty in periods of global recession, when companies have difficulty meeting earnings estimates and multiples collapse. This describes the period we have just been through in the market. In the six months preceding the market bottom of October 10th, the average stock declined 30%; higher beta, higher growth stocks suffered disproportionately in the sell-off. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ended November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class I shares returned -19.88%, compared to the S&P 500 Index which returned -11.49%. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund's underperformance can primarily be attributed to the exposure to more cyclically sensitive technology stocks, such as semiconductors. While the Fund was equal weight the sector versus the benchmark, these stocks underperformed as the economic recovery was pushed further out into the future. However, the Fund did benefit from strong stock selection in the telecommunications sectors, gaining ground on stocks such as Nextel Communications and Verizon. During the quarter, we cut back on our exposure to consumer-related stocks, which began the period as the sector with the biggest exposure in the portfolio. In their place, we increased our holdings in biotechnology and some oversold telecommunications stocks, such as Nextel and AT&T Wireless. MARKET OUTLOOK: The current economic and market environment bears many parallels to the 1990-1991 period. The economic recovery appears fragile; corporate profit growth anemic; worries about credit risk, balance sheets, consumer spending, and corporate capital spending abound. Why, then, is the market going up? The recent actions by the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank indicate that world policy has shifted towards stimulus; the recently announced changes in the President's economic team increase the likelihood that the administration will present an aggressive stimulus package in January, and corporate profits appear to have bottomed. The odds are high that 2003 will likely be a better year for corporate profits than 2002. We have positioned the Fund for a recovery in 4

GOAL: The ING LargeCap Growth Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in stocks from a universe of U.S. companies with market capitalizations corresponding, at the time of purchase, to the upper 90% of the S&P 500 Index.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund's outperformance was driven by better stock picking in the transportation, telecommunications, and financial sectors. During the past six months, the Fund reduced its weighting in consumer-related sectors, while adding to select stocks in the technology and biotechnology areas. The fund also benefited from some stock picking among Internet stocks, including Amazon.com and Hotels.com. The biggest contributors to performance during the six-month period were Nextel Communications and Network Appliance. MARKET OUTLOOK: The current economic and market environment bears many parallels to the 1990-1991 period.

ING SMALLCAP OPPORTUNITIES FUND Portfolio Manager's Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Mary Lisanti, Executive Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, ING Investments, LLC. GOAL: The ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") seeks capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its total assets in the common stock of smaller U.S. companies that the Portfolio Manager feels have above average prospects for growth. MARKET OVERVIEW: In the middle of the third consecutive year of difficult returns for equity investors, stocks began to show signs of life in recent months. U.S. equity benchmarks turned in their first back-to-back monthly gains over the past two months in almost a year, and the October-November returns were the strongest two-month returns since 1999. However, this was not enough to offset the declines that occurred during the previous four months. As corporate scandals widened, fears of a double-dip recession increased, and consumer confidence sagged, investors plunged into the safety of government bonds, sending the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury down 200 basis points from the end of May before bouncing. However, as it became clear that the economy was not as bad as expected, stocks began to recover and moved up strongly in October and November. Investors were encouraged by the combination of fiscal and monetary policy stimulus, as Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress, and the Federal Reserve cut rates for the twelfth time, moving rates to a 41-year low. Stocks still finished lower in the six-month period ended November 30, although they were well off the 5-year lows reached in September. The NASDAQ Composite Index dropped 8.29% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 9.36%. Small cap stocks suffered the most over the past six months, as the Russell 2000 Index plunged 16.03%. The S&P 500 Index dropped 11.49% over the same period, while the S&P Midcap Index fell 14.63%. The Fund is managed in a growth style: the portfolio management team seeks companies with above average earnings growth potential relative to companies in the Russell 2000 Growth Index. These stocks can often be more expensive on a price/earnings basis than the average stock, but look attractive relative to their growth rates. Historically, this strategy has rewarded investors over the long term; the "bet" the investor is making is that growth companies will be able to deliver on the earnings promise and therefore justify the existing P/E or perhaps even see an expansion of the P/E multiple over time. This strategy is to some extent dependent on a stable to growing economy; it has its greatest difficulty in periods of global recession, when companies have difficulty meeting earnings estimates and multiples collapse. This describes the period we have just been through in the market. In the six months preceding the market bottom of October 10th, the average stock declined 30%; higher beta, higher growth stocks suffered disproportionately in the sell-off. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ended November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class I shares returned -21.40% while the Russell 2000 Index returned 16.03% for the same period. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund's underperformance can primarily be attributed to the Fund's exposure to consumer-related stocks, which underwent a correction after leading the market for months. While the Fund had cut back on consumer stocks, we remained slightly overweight the sector at the end of the period. The Fund did gain back ground on stock selection in the healthcare sector, particularly in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical areas. Leaders in the Fund in those sectors were Taro Pharmaceuticals and Neurocrine Biosciences, while stocks in other areas, such as Sandisk, Kronos, and Dick's Sporting Goods, also contributed positively to performance. During the six-month period, the Fund did cut back on consumer-related shares, while adding to select technology and biotechnology issues. MARKET OUTLOOK: The current economic and market environment bears many parallels to the 1990-1991 period. The economic recovery appears fragile; corporate profit growth anemic; worries about credit risk, balance sheets, consumer spending, and corporate capital spending abound. Why, then, is the market going up? The recent actions by the Fed and the European Central Bank indicate that world policy has shifted towards stimulus; the recently announced changes in the President's economic team increase the likelihood that the administration will present an aggressive stimulus package in January, and corporate profits appear to have bottomed. The odds are high that 2003 will likely be a better year for corporate profits than 2002. We have positioned the Fund for a recovery in corporate 10

ING RESEARCH ENHANCED INDEX FUND Portfolio Manager's Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Aeltus Investment Management, Inc., led by Hugh Whelan, Co-Portfolio Manager and Doug Cote' Co-Portfolio Manager. GOAL: The ING Research Enhanced Index Fund (the "Fund") seeks to outperform the Standard & Poor's Composite Index (S&P 500), while maintaining a market level of risk by investing at least 80% of its net assets in stocks included in the S&P 500. MARKET OVERVIEW: The S&P 500 Index posted a loss of 11.49% in the period as concerns regarding the possibility of a "double-dip" recession and war with Iraq weighed heavily on U.S. equity markets. The Federal Reserve responded to these pressures on November 6th by implementing a surprising 50 basis point cut in the Federal Funds rate. Since that date U.S. equities have rallied strongly on renewed investor optimism. That optimism has been in response to the Federal Reserve's actions, and, to evidence from corporate earnings reports and U.S. economic releases indicating our economy will likely rebound from its current weakness. The more confident stance of investors resulted in higher growth sectors such as information technology and telecommunication services being the best performers in the period in sharp contrast to the first half of the year. The worst performing sectors were the utilities and consumer discretionary sectors. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ended November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class I shares provided a total return of -11.74% compared to -11.49% for the S&P 500 Index. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund's performance was helped by strong individual security selection within the consumer staples, industrials, and information technology sectors. Within consumer staples our underweight of Philip Morris benefited performance. Within information technology, an overweight in Dell Computer and underweight in Electronic Data Systems also helped the Fund's performance. Fund performance was hurt by ineffective individual security selection in the energy, consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors. The Fund's underweight in Exxon Mobil in the energy sector and our overweight in Home Depot in the consumer discretionary sector hurt performance. Our positioning in Abbott Laboratories within the healthcare sector also detracted from performance during the period. The Fund's sector allocation did not have a significant impact on performance. The positive contribution from our underweight in consumer staples was largely offset by the negative impact of our underweight in healthcare stocks. MARKET OUTLOOK: Our quantitative research -- which focuses on business momentum and earnings quality, market recognition and valuation -- is pointing the Fund towards lower weightings in the healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors. We have increased our weightings in the financials and consumer staples sectors. Currently our largest overweight is in financials and our greatest underweight is in the healthcare sector. Historical relationships between anticipated corporate earnings and prevailing interest rates suggest that the U.S. equity market may be currently undervalued. While significant risks -- especially those related to terrorism and potential conflict with Iraq -- continue to weigh heavily on the market, underlying economic fundamentals suggest that the U.S. economy is likely to continue to grow. Economic growth, both here and abroad, should support improving corporate earnings. While November saw some speculative behavior and short covering that rewarded stocks with poor investment characteristics, we believe the U.S. equity market in the long run rewards stocks with strong business fundamentals. Measurement of those fundamentals in a consistent, rigorous manner is the foundation of the quantitative process we use to manage this strategy. 12

ING LARGE COMPANY VALUE FUND Portfolio Manager's Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Thomas Jackson, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, ING Investments, LLC. GOAL: The ING Large Company Value Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation with income as a secondary objective. MARKET OVERVIEW: The U.S. stock market declined significantly in the six months ending November 30, 2002 with the S&P 500 Index down 11.49% and the NASDAQ Composite Index down 8.48%. The period exhibited substantial volatility as the stock market declined dramatically into early October 2002 and then rallied through the end of November. The stock market was buffeted during the third calendar quarter by a number of concerns: 1) The fear of a double dip recession as an already slow economic rebound began to falter; 2) A below average rebound in corporate profits; 3) An absolute aversion to risk in the corporate debt markets resulting in quality spreads continuing to widen compared to Treasury bond yields; and 4) Investor concerns regarding possible military action in Iraq. The rebound from the October lows was accompanied by some better than expected signs of economic growth; by a further cut in interest rates by the Federal Reserve; and by narrowing quality spreads in the debt markets. For the last six months, the stocks of larger companies outperformed those of small and mid-sized companies. Looking at the S&P/Barra style based indices, Growth stocks modestly outperformed Value stocks across the capitalization spectrum. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ending November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class Q shares returned -16.80% compared to the S&P 500 Index which returned -11.49% for the same period. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund is being managed in a Value investment style, which concentrates on companies that sell at significant valuation discounts to the stock market and which also sell at significant valuation discounts to their own history. There is a large degree of contrary opinion embodied in this approach. Studies of the past indicate that this is a good way to manage money over the long run. However, it is worthwhile to point out that the stock market isn't stupid. Generally companies that sell at large valuation discounts to the market are experiencing some, hopefully temporary, problem. The value investor is accepting the risk of the problems and the attendant time risk until they are solved (if ever). In return, the investor receives the potential "benefit" of buying investments on sale. This description of value investing serves as a good introduction to the analysis of the performance results for the period and to illustrate the risks of the value approach. The under-performance of the Fund for the last six months relative to the S&P500 Index is more than attributable to the Fund's large and unsuccessful investment in the Electric Utility industry. This position was established after the Enron debacle as the stocks in the industry declined substantially and were selling at both very high dividend yields and low valuations compared to the past. However, the confluence of events afflicting them turned out to be akin to the Perfect Storm. They included questionable accounting and business practices; debt heavy balance sheets; the California energy crisis; regional over capacity; lower demand for electricity due to the recession; a collapse in energy trading; declining profit margins; and rapidly declining credit ratings. These problems combined to depress not only current profits, but ultimately the longer-term outlook for company profits as well. In short, while the stocks appeared "cheap" on the numbers, the problems proved to be much worse than expected resulting in significant further declines in the stocks. The declines in the long-term profit outlook made the initial valuation judgment incorrect. We eventually reduced the Utility investment substantially, but not before it negatively impacted the performance of the Fund. There is a general lesson in this with regard to Value investing: If the problem that is making the stock cheap turns out to be intractable, the original "discount price" is likely to be insufficient to justify the investment. If you buy what turns out to be shoddy merchandise, even on sale, you are unlikely to have a happy result. Much did go right over the last six months. The Fund's underweight in technology, financial, and energy stocks combined with relatively good selectivity in these groups partially offset the poor performance of the utilities. MARKET OUTLOOK: While the length and depth of the market decline over the last couple of years has been painful, the good news is that stocks are now more reasonably priced than they have been in a long time. In fact, at the October lows, the market was selling below its long term average price to earnings ratio based on consensus 2003 earnings estimates. Given the substantial decline in interest rates (which compete with stocks for investor attention and serve as the underpinning for stock valuation), stocks are at more attractive valuation levels than has been the case for the last quarter of a century. In fact, the dividend yield on the market is now higher than short-term interest rates, a situation that hasn't been experienced for any extended period since the early 1950's. Meanwhile, the economy and corporate profits continue to grow albeit at modest rates, inflation is seemingly under control, and the Federal Reserve has been accommodating. The market continues to deal with a number of issues including: Accounting integrity and corporate governance; record levels of corporate and consumer debt; the intermediate term trajectory of the economy; the long-term growth of corporate profits; and the impact of the potential war in Iraq and the war against terrorism in general. While each of these issues has the potential to significantly impact short-term market returns, current valuation levels would seem to be attractive enough to justify the belief that the worst of this long and deep bear market may be behind us. With that said, it is also reasonable to expect that future returns from stocks will be significantly below what we became accustomed to in the '80's and '90's. In fact, stocks may well provide returns 14

Portfolio Manager's Report ING LARGE COMPANY VALUE FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- below their long-term average. However, compared to current low interest rates, they may still be the best deal in town. Our strategy is to continue to seek out companies that have depressed current valuations where we believe that their long-term prospects are not adequately reflected in their stock price. Technology and Healthcare companies are over-weighted compared to the Value indices (about in line with the S&P500 index). As an offset, we are under-weighted in Financial Services (particularly banks) and Consumer Cyclical companies compared to most value benchmarks. While the portfolio has been constructed stock by stock, there are a couple of broad themes that run through the portfolio: 1) To the degree possible, we own companies with pricing power. In the current very low inflation environment, pricing power is a valuable asset. Property and Casualty Insurance, Healthcare, Tobacco, and perhaps Energy companies all currently have the ability to raise prices on their products. 2) Dividends are a more certain component of equity return than capital gains. All things equal, we would prefer to own dividend payers rather than non-dividend payers.

ING MIDCAP VALUE FUND Portfolio Manager's Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Managed by a multi-member Investment Committee, Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. GOAL: The ING MidCap Value Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. issuers with equity market capitalizations greater than $1 billion, but no greater than $5 billion at the time of purchase. MARKET OVERVIEW: For much of the six-month period ending November 30, 2002, stock prices in the United States declined amid continued concerns regarding corporate accounting improprieties and anxiety stemming from mixed economic reports. Speculation regarding U.S. military action against Iraq also may have weighed on sentiment. Measured by the Russell Indices, small- and mid-cap stocks in the United States proved more vulnerable in this environment than their large-cap counterparts. The larger-cap Russell 1000 Index fell 11.8% in the period while the Russell Midcap Index declined 14.0% and the smaller-cap Russell 2000 Index fell 16.0%. On the economic front, robust housing sales countered a number of dour reports, including declining U.S. industrial production, slowing growth in the service sector, and weaker U.S. construction spending on factories, offices, and nonresidential buildings. Late in the period, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") lowered short-term interest rates 50 basis points. The Fed cut the federal funds rate to 1.25%. Consumer confidence -- as well as stock prices -- rebounded late in the period. The consumer sentiment index rose to 84.1 in November from a revised 79.6 in October. Overall, macroeconomic and political developments have virtually no bearing on our company-specific research and analysis. While we monitor short-term developments, our investment philosophy focuses on company-by-company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we adhere to our strict, value-based investment approach. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ending November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class I shares provided a total return of -25.72% compared to the Russell Midcap Value Index, which returned -14.03% for the same period. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Slumping returns for holdings in a number of industries and the Fund's greater-than-benchmark exposure in these areas contributed to underperformance during the period. For nearly each of the following five industries, the Fund had greater exposure than the Russell Midcap Value Index and weaker returns: insurance, electric utilities, auto components, communications equipment and specialty retail. Among the poorest-performing holdings during the period were: Avaya (communications equipment, 3.1% of the Fund), Goodyear Tire & Rubber (auto components, 2.1%), Dynegy (multi-utilities, 0.8%), AMR Corp. (airlines, 2.2%), and Allmerica Financial (insurance, 0.7%). Reflecting our conviction for these holdings' long-term potential, we viewed their recent price declines as an opportunity to purchase more shares for nearly all of them. AMR Corp., for example, is the parent company of American Airlines, the world's largest airline. The airline industry has suffered amid weaker demand following the terrorist attacks in the United States last year and more recently, the threat of war with Iraq. Because of AMR Corp.'s financial flexibility (including its solid liquidity position), we believe the shares offer favorable upside potential. Overall, despite the difficult environment for stocks in the period, there were a number of holdings that delivered solid gains including PG& E Corp. (electric utilities, 3.0% of the Fund), Tellabs (communications equipment, 2.8%), and Lucent Technologies (communications equipment, 2.3%). During the period, we eliminated exposure to select holdings and established new positions. Among the companies we completely eliminated from the Fund were CenturyTel (diversified telecom services), Reebok International (textiles, apparel & luxury goods), Hubbell (electrical equipment), and Safeco (insurance). In these cases, we sold the shares after appreciation lifted the share price toward our estimate of the companies' underlying business value or we identified opportunities we believed reflected better risk/reward profiles. Among the companies added to the Fund during the period were CIT Group (diversified financials, 3.7% of the Fund), Solectron (commercial services & supplies, 3.4%), Gateway (computers & peripherals, 2.2%), and Nationwide Financial (insurance, 2.8%). Overall, our bottom-up focus on company-specific fundamentals dictated select changes in the Fund 18

Portfolio Manager's Report ING MIDCAP VALUE FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- during the period. We reduced exposure in the chemicals industry on a stock-by-stock basis. Conversely, select purchases lifted exposure in the communications equipment and diversified financials industries. We viewed declining stock prices in the period as an opportunity to purchase shares of what we consider solid businesses trading at compelling values. MARKET OUTLOOK: We offer no predictions regarding the short-term direction of the U.S. mid-cap equity market. Instead, we retain our focus on evaluating what we consider promising businesses -- weighing their stock price against an estimate of the underlying business value. The Fund retains its greatest areas of exposure in the electric utilities and insurance industries. In all market environments, we search for and hold fundamentally sound companies trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values. We believe this strategy will provide patient investors with favorable results and an attractive margin of safety.

ING SMALLCAP VALUE FUND Portfolio Manager's Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Brandes Investment Partners' Small Cap Investment Committee (sub-adviser), ING Investments, LLC. GOAL: The ING SmallCap Value Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. issuers with equity market capitalizations of $1.5 billion or less at the time of purchase. MARKET OVERVIEW: For much of the six-month period ended November 30, 2002, stock prices in the United States declined amid continued concerns regarding corporate accounting improprieties and anxiety stemming from mixed economic reports. Speculation regarding U.S. military action against Iraq also may have weighed on sentiment. Measured by the Russell Indices, smaller-cap stocks in the United States proved more vulnerable in this environment than their large-cap counterparts. The larger-cap Russell 1000 Index fell 11.8% in the period while the smaller-cap Russell 2000 Index fell 16.0%. On the economic front, robust housing sales countered a number of dour reports, including declining U.S. industrial production, slowing growth in the service sector, and weaker U.S. construction spending on factories, offices, and nonresidential buildings. Late in the period, the Federal Reserve Board lowered short-term interest rates 50 basis points. The Fed cut the federal funds rate to 1.25%. Consumer confidence -- as well as stock prices -- rebounded late in the period. The consumer sentiment index rose to 84.1 in November from a revised 79.6 in October. Overall, macroeconomic and political developments have virtually no bearing on our company-specific research and analysis. While we monitor short-term developments, our investment philosophy focuses on company-by-company analysis with a long-term perspective. In all market environments, we adhere to our strict, value-based investment approach. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ended November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class I shares provided a total return of -10.93% compared to the Russell 2000 Index, which fell 16.03% for the same period. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Declines for holdings in the materials, consumer discretionary, and industrials sectors had the greatest adverse influence on overall returns in the period. Among the weakest-performing holdings in these sectors were Seitel (energy equipment & services, 1.6% of the Fund), Tommy Hilfiger (textiles, apparel & luxury goods, 2.1%), National R.V. Holdings (leisure equipment & products), and Ryerson Tull (metals & mining, 2.5%). Each of these companies was an existing holding. Reflecting our conviction for their long-term potential, we viewed their recent price declines as an opportunity to purchase more shares. In the case of Ryerson Tull, for example, the company is the leading steel service, distribution, and materials processing firm in the United States. Amid a tough industry environment, the company has taken solid steps to enhance its operations. Despite the difficult environment for stocks overall, there were a number of holdings that delivered strong gains in the period, including Fleetwood Enterprises (household durables, 3.1% of the Fund), K2 Inc. (leisure equipment & products, 3.2%), Comverse Technology (wireless telecom services, 2.4%), and Syms (specialty retail, 2.4%). During the period, we eliminated exposure to select holdings and established new positions. Among the companies we completely eliminated from the Fund were Provident Financial (banking), American Physicians Capital (insurance), and Alleghany Corp. (insurance). In these cases, we sold the shares after appreciation lifted the share price toward our estimate of the companies' underlying business value, or we identified opportunities we believed reflected better risk/reward profiles. Among the companies added to the Fund during the period were Gateway (computers & peripherals, 2.8% of the Fund), Goodyear Tire & Rubber (auto components, 2.5%), Visteon (auto components, 1.5%), and Stillwater Mining (metals & mining). Overall, our bottom-up focus on company-specific fundamentals dictated select changes in the Fund during the period. We eliminated exposure in the banking industry and reduced exposure in the insurance industry. With the proceeds from these sales, we bolstered exposure in the auto components area (as previously cited) and lifted exposure to the metals & mining and electrical equipment industries on a stock-by-stock basis. We viewed declining stock prices in the period as an opportunity to purchase shares of what we consider solid businesses trading at compelling values. 20

Instead, we retain our focus on evaluating what we consider promising businesses -- weighing their stock price against an estimate of the underlying business value. Six months ago, the Fund's largest areas of exposure were in the banking, chemicals, and textiles, apparel & luxury goods industries. As a result of our individual security selection, the Fund now has its greatest exposures in textiles, apparel & luxury goods, metals & mining, and electrical equipment. In all market environments, we search for and hold fundamentally sound companies trading at discounts to our estimates of their fair values.

ING CONVERTIBLE FUND Portfolio Managers' Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Ed Schriver, Anu Sahai, Andy Mitchell, Dr. Michael Matusewicz, ING Investments, LLC. GOAL: The ING Convertible Fund (the "Fund") seeks to maximize long-term total return by investing at least 80% in convertible securities, while seeking to maintaining aggregate risk measures similar to that of the overall convertible universe. MARKET OVERVIEW: The six-month period ending November 30, 2002 witnessed significant volatility in the convertible indices, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ Composite. The equity markets ended substantially lower despite a strong rally in November. To a large extent this was a likely function of the economy. Investors were disappointed at the lower than expected profit rebound and concerns grew that the economy might slip into a double dip recession. Additionally, accounting concerns, the Iraqi situation and Wall Street's reduced credibility from investigations into their role in the telecom/internet bubble made investors even more nervous. The credit markets were also very volatile with corporate bond spreads widening into October. Following the October low, equities rallied and credit spreads tightened on improving economic numbers and an additional interest rate cut by the Fed. As measured by the S&P 500 sub-indicies, industry divergence was high during the period. Internet and software systems were up approximately 15%, while tobacco, retail food, auto, advertising, construction, IT services, utilities, and health care facilities were all down 33% to 55%. The convertible securities market was not immune to these changes. With the decrease in equity valuations however, more of the convertible universe has become more bond like than it has been in the past and thus relatively insensitive to changes in the underlying equity. As an asset class, convertibles outperformed stocks. Liquidity in the market remains good in contrast to some fixed income markets. Hedge funds reportedly have plenty of buying power and there continues to be a large appetite for convertible new issuance. The traditional ability to hedge incremental holdings of convertible securities by shorting the underlying common stock continues to allow both dealers and hedge funds to position convertibles more easily than they can accommodate straight corporate debt. A number of large deals have come to market primarily due to the issuer's reluctance to go to the equity market as stock valuations came down and due to their inability to raise capital in the straight debt market at acceptable rates. As a result, issuance continues to remain high. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ended November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class Q shares returned -2.28% compared to a -1.74% for the Credit Suisse First Boston Convertible Index. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Following a portfolio management change in April, the fund has benefited from the repositioning to a more market weighted and near-term defensive posture with respect to equity sensitivity and certain sector positioning. During the past six months, the fund had a beneficial overweight sensitivity to financials, healthcare, and energy (oil/gas) and had a beneficial underweight sensitivity to technology. In addition, favorable security selection within the technology, media, and consumer discretionary sectors added to relative performance. MARKET OUTLOOK: Despite the likelihood that the Fed will be less restrictive than feared, we think the profitability outlook for firms may only slowly improve. Businesses simply do not have much pricing power and indeed this aspect is one of the reasons why inflation will likely remain under control during the economic recovery and why the Fed may be under less pressure to raise rates than commonly assumed. We continue to look for companies, primarily in cyclicals, but across the spectrum, that should benefit from a gradually recovering economy as we expect the market to reward companies that typically benefit in the recovery part of the cycle. We continue to believe that the recovery for firms in the telecom and software sectors may be distant and/or weak. We believe that convertible securities are attractively priced relative to comparable alternative asset classes. A bottom up approach, which relies on fundamental analysis and careful stock selection within our broader top down sector positioning strategy, continues to be the foundation for our investment decisions. 22

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) Since inception performance for index is shown from 9/1/95. PRINCIPAL RISK FACTOR(S): The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may affect the investment value of a convertible security. The market value of convertible debt securities tends to vary inversely with the level of interest rates. Lower rated securities may be less liquid than higher quality investments. The Fund also has exposure to financial, market and interest rate risks. Higher yields reflect the higher credit risks associated with certain lower rated securities in the Fund's portfolio and in some cases, the lower market prices for those instruments. The Fund may also invest in small and medium sized companies, which may be more susceptible to greater price volatility than larger companies. Investing in funds that are concentrated in a smaller number of holdings poses greater risk than those funds with a larger number of holdings because each investment has greater a effect on the fund's performance.

ING EQUITY AND BOND FUND Portfolio Managers' Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Thomas Jackson, VP & Senior Portfolio Manager, Robert K. Kinsey VP & Senior Portfolio Manager; Ed Schriver SVP & Portfolio Manager GOAL: The ING Equity & Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks a balance of long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in both equities and bonds. MARKET OVERVIEW: The U.S. stock market declined significantly in the six months ending November 30, 2002 with the S&P 500 down 11.48%and the NASDAQ down 8.48%. The period exhibited substantial volatility as the stock market declined dramatically into early October 2002 and then rallied through the end of November. The stock market was buffeted during the third calendar quarter by a number of concerns: 1) The fear of a double dip recession as an already slow economic rebound began to falter; 2) A below average rebound in corporate profits; 3) An absolute aversion to risk in the corporate debt markets resulting in quality spreads continuing to widen compared to Treasury bond yields; and 4) Investor concerns regarding possible military action in Iraq. The rebound from the October lows was accompanied by some better than expected signs of economic growth; by a further cut in interest rates by the Federal Reserve; and by narrowing quality spreads in the debt markets. For the last six months, the stocks of larger companies out performed those of small and mid-sized companies. Looking at the S&P/Barra style based indices, Growth stocks modestly out performed Value stocks across the capitalization spectrum. Over the course of the last six months, the U. S. corporate bond market has been repeatedly shocked by issuer specific credit and/or liquidity concerns. Issuers that represent sizeable portions of the tradable corporate debt have plummeted into junk status with alarming speed. Fraudulent accounting, lax corporate governance, or weak earnings created an environment of extreme illiquidity for many issuers product until just recently. However, during November the Lehman Credit index staged its biggest one-month rally ever; this widely watched corporate bond index rose 2.42%. Extreme under-valuations, the rally in equities, and short covering by hedge funds inspired a dramatic rally in riskier bonds even as benchmark Treasury yields moved higher. Although the yield on ten-year U. S. Treasuries has breached forty year lows late in the period, interest rates have started to rise again as the equity markets rebound. The Fed rate cut of fifty basis points and hopes for a more stable earnings environment has whetted the risk appetite of investors. Yet, concerns about increasing U. S. government deficits resulting from tax relief and the war on terrorism will likely push interest rates higher in the months to come. Economic and political events in Brazil and Venezuela handicapped returns on emerging market debt for most of the period. With respect to the high yield market, volatility was also very high. High yield spreads set new record wide levels during October (as measured by the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index) only to snap back dramatically during November with one of the five best monthly returns ever. Over the six-month period, high yield declined 5.75% (as measured by the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index). Sector returns varied widely within the overall index. Cable TV and electric utility bonds declined over 21% and telecommunications bonds continued their slide with a 17% loss. On the positive side, capital goods and energy (oil/gas) bonds returned 7 to 9%. PERFORMANCE: For the six-month period ended November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class Q shares returned -6.91% compared to -13.60% for the S&P Barra Value Index, 4.98% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and -4.73% for the Composite Index (60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index). PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund is being managed in a value investment style, which concentrates on companies that sell at significant valuation discounts to the stock market and which also sell at significant valuation discounts to their own history. There is a large degree of contrary opinion embodied in this approach. Studies of the past indicate that this is a good way to manage money over the long run. However, it is worthwhile to point out that the stock market isn't stupid. Generally companies that sell at large valuation discounts to the market are experiencing some, hopefully temporary, problem. The value investor is accepting the risk of the problems and the attendant time risk until they are solved (if ever). In return, the investor receives the potential "benefit" of buying investments on sale. This description of value investing serves as a good introduction to the analysis of the performance results for the period and to illustrate the risks of the value approach. The under performance of the Fund for the last six months relative to the S&P500 and the S&P/Barra Value Index is more than attributable to the Fund's large and unsuccessful investment in the Electric Utility industry. This position was established after the Enron debacle as the stocks in the industry declined substantially and were selling at both very high dividend yields and low valuations compared to the past. However, the confluence of events afflicting them turned out to be akin to the Perfect Storm. They included questionable accounting and business practices; debt heavy balance sheets; the California energy crisis; regional over capacity; lower demand for electricity due to the recession; a collapse in energy trading; declining profit margins; and rapidly declining credit ratings. These problems combined to depress not only current profits, but ultimately the longer-term outlook for company profits as well. In short, while the stocks APPEARED "cheap" on the numbers, the problems proved to be much worse than expected resulting in significant further declines in the stocks. The declines in the long-term profit outlook made the initial valuation judgment incorrect. We eventually reduced the Utility investment substantially, but not before it negatively impacted the performance of the Fund. There is a general lesson in this with regard to value investing: If the problem that is making the stock cheap turns out to be intractable, the original "discount price" is likely to be insufficient to justify the investment. If you buy what turns out to be shoddy merchandise, even on sale, you are unlikely to have a happy result. Much did go right over the last six months. The Fund's underweight in Technology, Financial, and Energy stocks combined with relatively good selectivity in these groups partially offset the poor performance of the Utilities. The investment grade component of the bond portfolio posted positive returns for the month, the quarter, and year-to-date. Our tactically risk averse stance allowed us to avoid serious damage from the many credit bombs that plagued the domestic credit markets earlier this year. Given that domestic corporate spreads gapped out to a historical wide in the Fall, we began to add riskier credits at bargain prices relative to government bonds. Allocations to high yield, emerging market debt, and equities were also increased recently. Both the rally in equities and the Fed rate cut, while coincident to our assumption of more risk, has moderated the fears of corporate bond investors for the near-term. We estimate that it out performed both comparable indicies and the mutual fund aggregate. The fund benefited from an underweight position in telecommunications and an initial underweight in utilities as well as from an overweight position in gaming. During the period, we added to telecommunications with fortunate timing and we added to utilities with less than fortunate timing. On the negative side, performance was held back by overweight positions in rental services and publishing as well as adverse credit selection in publishing. MARKET OUTLOOK: While the length and depth of the market decline over the last couple of years has been painful, the good news is that stocks are now more reasonably priced than they have been in a long time. In fact, at the October lows, the market was selling below its long term average price to earnings ratio based on consensus 2003 earnings estimates. Given the substantial decline in interest rates (which compete with stocks for investor attention and serve as the underpinning for stock valuation), stocks are at more attractive valuation levels than has been the case for the last quarter of a century. In fact, the dividend yield on the market is now higher than short-term interest rates, a situation that hasn't been experienced for any extended period 24

Portfolio Managers' Report ING EQUITY AND BOND FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- since the early 1950's. Meanwhile, the economy and corporate profits continue to grow albeit at modest rates, inflation is seemingly under control, and the Federal Reserve has been accommodating. The market continues to deal with a number of issues including: Accounting integrity and corporate governance; record levels of corporate and consumer debt; the intermediate term trajectory of the economy; the long-term growth of corporate profits; and the impact of the potential war in Iraq and the war against terrorism in general. While each of these issues has the potential to significantly impact short-term market returns, current valuation levels would seem to be attractive enough to justify the belief that the worst of this long and deep bear market may be behind us. With that said, it is also reasonable to expect that future returns from stocks may be significantly below what we became accustomed to in the '80's and '90's. In fact, stocks may well provide returns below their long-term average. However, compared to current low interest rates, they may still be the best deal in town. Our strategy is to continue to seek out companies that have depressed current valuations where we believe that their long-term prospects are not adequately reflected in their stock price. Technology and Healthcare companies are overweighted compared to the Value indices (about in line with the S&P 500). As an offset, we are underweighted in Financial Services (particularly banks) and Consumer Cyclical companies compared to most value benchmarks. While the portfolio has been constructed stock by stock, there are a couple of broad themes that run through the portfolio: 1). To the degree possible, we own companies with pricing power. In the current very low inflation environment, pricing power is a valuable asset. Property and Casualty Insurance, Healthcare, Tobacco, and perhaps Energy companies all currently have the ability to raise prices on their products. 2). Dividends are a more certain component of equity return than capital gains. All things equal, we would prefer to own dividend payers rather than non-dividend payers. Although we expect the U. S. economy to sputter along absent an exogenous event such as war with Iraq, yields on benchmark U. S. treasuries may continue to rise in the face of increased government issuance. Consequently, our duration is short versus the benchmark, and we have taken defensive positions in German and Canadian five-year bonds. Riskier bond sectors and issuers may have rallied from their lows, but we still see potential value in a number of corporate and emerging market names. While economic growth remains constrained, many market forecasters are predicting stronger growth by mid-2003. Default rates appear to have peaked, but may decline only slowly if the economic recovery remains modest. We believe that many high yield issuers will likely improve their balance sheets in a slow-growth environment, and that the securities of many of these companies remain undervalued despite the recent market rally.

ING REAL ESTATE FUND Portfolio Managers' Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: T. Ritson Ferguson, Kenneth D. Campbell and team at Clarion CRA Securities. GOAL: The ING Real Estate Fund (the "Fund" formerly CRA Realty Shares Portfolio(1)) seeks total return through investment in publicly traded real estate companies (primarily Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)) in the United States with a combination of above average dividend income and long-term growth of capital. MARKET OVERVIEW: The ride in real estate stocks was not boring this year. REITs advanced nearly 14% in the first half of the year, only to succumb in the second half of the year to the negative trends of the broad market and increasing concern of a prolonged slump in real estate demand. After a string of positive return months to start the year, REITs were caught in the severe downdraft of the equity markets in July. Selling pressure again in September and early October re-tested the low prices of July. However, value ultimately won out, and a rally that began in mid-October carried through in November to drive real estate stocks towards a modestly positive finish for the year. PERFORMANCE: For the one month ended November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class I shares provided a total return of 4.11% compared to the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index which returned 4.94% for the same period. For the period from November 20, 2002 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2002, the Fund's Class B Shares, excluding sales charges returned 1.20%. PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund's performance relative to its benchmark has been driven by a combination of good property sector allocations and good stock selection. In 2002, the major driver of performance was earnings stability (or lack thereof). Relative earnings stability powered above average performance in four property sectors overweighted in the Fund: malls, shopping centers, industrial and health care properties. The slumping economy had the most negative impact on earnings and price performance for the office, apartment and hotel sectors (all of which are underweighted in the Fund). The Fund's specific holdings within these four top performing groups delivered above average performance and accounted for the positive contribution to relative performance from stock selection. The portfolio continues to be defensively oriented toward property sectors and individual companies that have less exposure to the currently weak real estate market conditions. As the economy's strength rebuilds and job growth returns we expect better performance from hotel, apartment and office companies in 2003. The average dividend yield of the securities held in the fund is 7.2% MARKET OUTLOOK: Assuming the U.S. economy continues to grow at a pace of 2% - 4% and that inflation remains tame in the 2% - 3% range, we expect interest rates, to stay low through 2003. It's hard to say whether REITs will outperform the broad market again next year. After three years of negative returns, many are hopeful that the broad market is ready to deliver some positive returns in 2003. We expect another solid but unspectacular year ahead for REITs as earnings will likely be essentially flat given continued soft real estate market fundamentals. The President's proposal to eliminate taxes on dividends is likely to have little impact on REITs. REIT dividends are excluded from the tax relief since REITs pay essentially no corporate taxes. The impact on REITs is a relative negative, not an absolute one. Two factors should serve to mitigate whatever impact the proposed legislation has on REIT share prices. First, it is reasonable to assume that any final legislation passed will over something less than full the full relief proposed. Second, the majority of current REIT shareholders are tax-exempt (e.g., pension funds and IRA or 401(K) account investors). Consequently, we think there will be little motivation for current shareholders to sell REITs because of the President's proposal. Even if other dividend stocks rally, REIT share prices don't necessarily fall because they haven't lost any of their current favorable tax-exempt corporate status nor has the attractive 7.1% dividend been reduced. ---------- (1) On November 4, 2002, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, all of the assets and liabilities of the CRA Realty Shares Portfolio (the "Acquired Fund") were transferred to a newly created series of the ING Equity Trust, the ING Real Estate Fund (the "Acquiring Fund") in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. 26

Portfolio Managers' Report ING REAL ESTATE FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the intermediate term, we expect continued good returns from real estate stocks and feel they are well positioned to do well when the economy rebounds for the following reasons: 1) Falling construction levels down over 30% in the last two years should allow a quicker recovery when demand returns. 2) Real estate stocks are trading at discounts to estimated private market values for similar real estate by an average of 3%. 3) Average dividend yield of 7.1% offers a very compelling 320 basis point spread to 10-year Treasuries (versus an historical spread of only 50 basis points). Despite a lot of press about dividend cuts, we believe REIT dividends are generally secure. In fact, we expect many companies to increase their dividends next year. 4) Price appreciation potential exists as the outlook for real estate fundamentals improves because the current 9.4 cash earnings multiple is 23% below the long-term average multiple of 12.2. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS FOR THE PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2002 --------------------------------------- SINCE INCEPTION OF CLASS I 1 YEAR 5 YEAR 12/31/96 ------ ------ -------- Class I(2) 6.48% 4.26% 6.69% Wilshire Real Estate Security Index 4.09% 3.60% 5.84%(1) Based upon a $10,000 initial investment, the table above illustrates the total return of ING Real Estate Fund against the Wilshire Real Estate Security Index. The Index has an inherent performance advantage over the Fund since it has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Performance table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Total returns reflect the fact that the Investment Manager has waived certain fees and operating expenses otherwise payable by the Fund, subject to possible later reimbursement during a three-year period. Total returns would have have been lower had there been no waiver to the Fund. 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. 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.

(1) Since inception performance for the index is shown from 01/01/1997. (2) Reflects performance of predecessor mutual fund, CRA Realty Shares portfolio through November 4, 2002, when the reorganization was completed. PRINCIPAL RISK FACTOR(S): Price volatility and other risks that accompany an investment in real estate equities and volatility due to non-diversification of investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2002 (Unaudited) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION ORGANIZATION. The ING Funds are comprised of ING Equity Trust ("IET"), ING Investment Funds, Inc. ("IIF") and ING Mayflower Trust ("IMT"), all 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 in 1998 with nineteen separate series (Portfolios). Eleven of the Portfolios in this report are: ING Growth Opportunities Fund ("Growth Opportunities"), ING LargeCap Growth Fund ("LargeCap Growth"), ING MidCap Opportunities Fund ("MidCap Opportunities"), ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund ("SmallCap Opportunities"), ING Research Enhanced Index Fund ("Research Enhanced Index"), ING Large Company Value Fund ("Large Company Value"), ING MidCap Value Fund ("MidCap Value"), ING SmallCap Value Fund ("SmallCap Value"), ING Convertible Fund ("Convertible"), ING Equity and Bond Fund ("Equity and Bond", formerly ING Equity and Income Fund) and ING Real Estate Fund ("Real Estate", formerly CRA Realty Shares Portfolio). IIF is a Maryland Corporation organized in 1969 with one Portfolio, ING MagnaCap Fund ("MagnaCap"). IMT is a Massachusetts business trust organized in 1993 with two separate series (Portfolios). One of the Portfolios in this report is ING Growth + Value Fund ("Growth + Value"). The investment objective of each Fund is described in each Fund's prospectus. Each Fund offers at least two of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class M, Class Q and Class T. 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 from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gains are allocated to each class pro rata based on the net assets of each class on the date of distribution. No class preferential dividend rights exist. Differences in per share dividend rates generally results from the relative weighting of pro rata income and realized gain allocations and 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. REORGANIZATION. On December 17, 2001, the Boards of Directors/Trustees of each of various ING Funds approved plans of reorganization which were intended to decrease the number of corporate entities under which the ING Funds are organized (the "Reorganization") and to align the open-end funds with similar open-end funds that share the same prospectus. The Reorganization only resulted in a change in corporate form of some of the ING Funds, with no change in the substance or investment aspects of the ING Funds. The Reorganization was consummated to align the ING Funds' corporate structures and expedite the Funds' required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders of Growth + Value and MagnaCap did not approve the Reorganization; therefore those Funds are remain part of ING Mayflower Trust and ING Investment Funds, Inc., respectively. As a result of the Reorganization, the following ING Funds reorganized into series of ING Equity Trust: Convertible, Equity and Bond, Growth Opportunities, LargeCap Growth, Large Company Value Fund, Research Enhanced Index and SmallCap Opportunities (collectively, the "Reorganizing Funds"). In this regard, the Board approved the creation of a new series of ING Equity Trust to serve as "shells" (the "Shell Funds") into which the Reorganized Funds were reorganized. The plans of reorganization provided for, among other things, the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Reorganizing Funds to the Shell Funds. Prior to September 23, 2002, the effective date of the Reorganization, the Shell Funds had only nominal assets. For accounting purposes, each Reorganizing Fund is considered the surviving entity, and the financial statements shown for periods prior to September 23, 2002 are the financial statements of the Reorganized Fund. MidCap Opportunities, MidCap Value Fund and SmallCap Value were originally organized as series of ING Equity Trust, and were not involved in the Reorganization. 62

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2002 (Unaudited) (Continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prior to the Reorganization, Convertible, Equity and Bond, and LargeCap Growth were series of ING Mutual Funds ("IMF"). IMF is a Delaware business trust registered as an open-end management investment company organized in 1992. Prior to the Reorganization, Growth Opportunities was the sole series of ING Growth Opportunities Fund, a Massachusetts business trust registered as an open-end management investment company organized in 1986. Prior to the Reorganization, SmallCap Opportunities was the sole series of ING SmallCap Opportunities Fund, a Massachusetts business trust registered as an open-end management investment company organized in 1986. Prior to the Reorganization, Large Company Value was the sole series of ING Large Company Value Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation registered as an open-end, diversified management investment company organized in April 1991. Prior to the Reorganization, Research Enhanced Index was a series of IMT. As discussed above, IMT is a Massachusetts business trust registered as an open-end management investment company organized in 1993. On November 4, 2002, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August 20, 2002, all of the assets and liabilities of the CRA Realty Shares Portfolio (the "Acquired Fund") were transferred to a newly created series of the ING Equity Trust, the ING Real Estate Fund (the "Acquiring Fund") in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. These shares were then distributed to shareholders of the Acquired Fund and the Acquired Fund was terminated. This reorganization was accounted for as tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund upon the exchange of their Acquired Fund Shares for shares of the Acquiring Fund. Prior to November 4, 2002, Real Estate was organized as a series of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund, a Massachusetts business trust registered as an open-end management investment company, established July 18, 1991. Effective March 1, 2002, ING Pilgrim Investments, LLC, ING Pilgrim Securities, Inc. and ING Pilgrim Group, LLC changed their names to ING Investments, LLC, ING Funds Distributor, Inc. and ING Funds Services, LLC, respectively. Effective October 1, 2002, ING Funds Distributor, Inc. changed its name to ING Funds Distributor, LLC. NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements, and 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 or included on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last reported sale price. 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 the time such valuation is determined by each Fund's custodian. Debt securities are valued at bid prices obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities. U.S. Government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services which uses prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith and in accordance with policies set by the Board of Directors. Investments in securities maturing in less than 60 days from acquisition date are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing Net Asset Value (NAV) per share. 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 delivered. Interest income is recorded 63

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2002 (Unaudited) (Continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 and maturities of short-term securities, 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. These risks include but are not limited to re-evaluation 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. D. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. Certain funds may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices, for hedging purposes only. 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 64

There were no open futures contracts at November 30, 2002. E. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-date. Each Fund pays dividends, if any, as follows: ANNUALLY SEMI-ANNUALLY QUARTERLY -------- ------------- --------- Growth + Value MagnaCap Convertible Growth Opportunities Large Company Value Equity and Bond LargeCap Growth Real Estate Midcap Opportunities SmallCap Opportunities Research Enhanced Index MidCap Value SmallCap Value Each Fund distributes capital gains, to the extent available, annually. F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. It is the policy of the Funds, to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are 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, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, each Fund intends not to be subject to any federal excise tax. The Board of Directors intends to offset any net capital gains with any available capital loss carryforward until each carryforward has been fully utilized or expires. In addition, no capital gain distribution shall be made until the capital loss carryforward has been fully utilized or expires. 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. 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 or with member banks 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 always 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. If the seller defaults, a Fund might incur a loss or delay in the realization of proceeds if the value of the collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral. I. SECURITIES LENDING. Each Fund had the option to temporarily loan 33 1/3% 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, letters of credit or U.S. Government securities. 65

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2002 (Unaudited) (Continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. Key differences are the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, organization costs and other temporary differences. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts, presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. To the extent distributions exceed net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in capital. Capital loss carryforwards, which may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes were as follows at May 31, 2002: AMOUNT EXPIRATION DATES ------------ ---------------- Growth + Value $443,996,279 2009 - 2011 Growth Opportunities 407,063,615 2009 - 2011 LargeCap Growth 346,606,915 2008 - 2011 MidCap Opportunities 146,381,726 2007 - 2010 SmallCap Opportunities 251,007,652 2008 - 2011 Research Enhanced Index 25,424,144 2008 - 2011 Large Company Value 7,488,459 2011 MagnaCap 2,428,614 2011 Convertible 97,587,259 2010 - 2011 Equity and Bond 3,553,889 2010 - 2011 A portion of the amount of these losses may be limited in the future for LargeCap Growth, MidCap Opportunities, SmallCap Opportunities, Large Company Value, MagnaCap and Equity and Bond due to previous fund mergers. NOTE 13 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On December 10, 2002, ING Biotechnology Fund was liquidated pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution of Series adopted by the Board of Trustees of ING Equity Trust on November 6, 2002. On January 7, 2003, the Board of Trustees of ING Funds approved a proposal to reorganize the ING Large Company Value Fund, "Disappearing Fund" into the ING MagnaCap Fund, "Surviving Fund" (the "Reorganization"). The proposed reorganization is subject to approval by shareholders of the Disappearing Fund. If shareholder approval is obtained, it is expected that the Reorganization would take place during the second quarter of 2003. DIVIDENDS.
