PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

ING Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “IGA.” The primary objective of the Fund is to provide a high level of income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its managed assets in a diversified global equity portfolio and employing an option strategy of writing index call options on a portion of its equity portfolio. The Fund also hedges most of its foreign currency exposure to seek to reduce volatility of total returns.

For the period ended August 31, 2013 the Fund made quarterly distributions totaling $0.56 per share, characterized of $0.24 per share return of capital and $0.32 per share net investment income.

Based on net asset value (“NAV”), the Fund provided a total return of 3.19% including reinvestments for the period ended August 31, 2013.⁽¹⁾ This NAV return reflects a decrease in the Fund’s NAV from $12.92 on February 28, 2013 to $12.76 on August 31, 2013. Based on its share price, the Fund provided a total return of (2.41)% including reinvestments for the period ended August 31, 2013.⁽²⁾ This share price return reflects a decrease in the Fund’s share price from $12.64 on February 28, 2013 to $11.81 on August 31, 2013.

The global equity markets have witnessed a challenging and turbulent period. Please read the Market Perspective and Portfolio Managers’ Report for more information on the market and the Fund’s performance.

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2013

By the end of the first month of our new fiscal year, global equities, in the form of the MSCI World Index^SM measured in local currencies including net reinvested dividends (“the Index”) had already surged 9.79% in 2013. But there was plenty of skepticism. Stock markets were only rising, it was argued, because of central banks’ ultra-loose monetary policy. This kept interest rates so low that many investors who would normally favor fixed income investments had turned to stocks. Others countered that interest rates might be low, but they would stay that way into the medium term. So capital values should be fairly safe and inflation isn’t an issue. Such arguments would be tested in the months through August, by which point the Index had added another 7.15%. (The MSCI World Index^SM returned 6.12% for the six-months ended August 31, 2013, measured in U.S. dollars.)

In the U.S., with sentiment cushioned by the Federal Reserve’s $85 billion of monthly Treasury and mortgage-backed securities purchases, investors continued to puzzle at an economic recovery that was undeniable but unimpressive.

And any illusions about the ultimate source of investor confidence in this environment were shattered on May 22 and again on June 19, when Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke attempted to prepare markets for the beginning of the end of quantitative easing, perhaps sooner than expected. He tried to make the point that the tapering of bond purchases by the Federal Reserve would be a reason for markets to feel upbeat, as it would only happen when conditions had substantially improved. In the meantime don’t be too worried.

Markets didn’t buy it. Bond yields soared and by June 24, the Index had given back 8%, leading nervous central bankers the world over, in the last days of June, to assure all who would listen that easy money was here for a long time. Not only were markets being heavily influenced by central bankers; evidently central bankers were more than a little sensitive to their effect on markets.

Soothed by these and later words of comfort in July, investors drove the Index to a new high for the year on August 2, only to retreat by about 4% by month-end. Nervousness crept in again as reports of falling unemployment to 7.4% and rising gross domestic product (“GDP”) to 2.5% made the early end to quantitative easing all but certain in the minds of many. But was the economy really ready? The 30-year mortgage rate rose by over 1% after early May and in July new home sales plunged 13.4% from June. Retailers Walmart, Macy’s and Kohl’s all lowered expectations for the rest of 2013. Personal incomes and spending were barely rising by the end of August. Finally the imminent threat of military engagement in the Middle East raised oil prices and dampened sentiment.

The securities and currencies of a number of emerging markets were hit particularly hard by the prospective demise of quantitative easing, especially those with current account deficits and stumbling growth, like Turkey, Brazil, Indonesia and India. Quantitative easing had caused vast monetary flows to flood into these markets in search of better returns, in many cases using money borrowed cheaply in U.S. dollars. Talk of the end of the program started the inevitable reversal. In U.S. fixed income markets, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Barclays Aggregate”) of investment grade bonds fell 2.61% in the six months through August as an end to quantitative easing presaged weakness in longer dated issues. Sub-indices with the shortest durations held on to positive returns, but the Barclays Long Term U.S. Treasury sub-index dropped 8.12%. The Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond sub-index lost 3.17%. But the (separate) Barclays High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (not a part of the Barclays Aggregate) gained 0.84%.

U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Index including dividends, rose 8.95%, albeit down 4.5% from its August 2 record closing high. The consumer discretionary sector did best with a gain of 14.55%, followed by health care 14.39%. The worst performers were the telecommunications sector 0.30% and previously in-favor utilities 1.58%. Operating earnings per share for S&P 500® companies set a record in the second quarter of 2013. But could this last given that the share of profits in national income was historically high?

In currency markets the dollar fell 1.25% against the euro during the six months and 2.20% against the pound, on better economic news from Europe and, some commentators argued, as sales of longer dated U.S. dollar-denominated bonds was partly reinvested in other currencies. But the dollar advanced 6.06% on the yen on confidence that the new Japanese government’s policy to weaken the yen would succeed.

In international markets, the MSCI Japan® Index jumped 14.63%. Encouragingly GDP grew at 2.6% annualized in the second quarter of 2013 after 3.8% in the first. Core consumer prices started rising again, necessary to get consumers and companies spending again. Diluting this better news however, capital spending was still falling while prices were only rising because of energy costs. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index rose 5.06%, the euro zone at last reporting slim GDP growth after six straight quarterly declines. The numbers of unemployed edged down in June and July, but not enough to dent the record rate of 12.1%. Closely watched purchasing managers’ indices indicated expansion in August for the first time since January 2012. The MSCI UK® Index added only 3.11%, weighed down by weak Materials and Banking sectors. GDP in the first quarter of 2013 reclaimed the fourth quarter’s 0.3% loss before recording 0.7% in the second quarter. Purchasing managers’ indices, retail sales, industrial production and consumer confidence were showing clear improvement as August ended.

ING Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund’s (the “Fund”) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of income. Capital appreciation is a secondary investment objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by:

• investing at least 80% of its managed assets in a portfolio of common stocks of companies located in a number of different countries throughout the world, including the United States; and

• utilizing an integrated derivatives strategy.

Portfolio Management: The Fund is managed by Pieter Schop, Bert Veldman, Willem van Dommelen and Edwin Cuppen, Portfolio Managers, ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.

Equity Portfolio Construction: Under normal market conditions the Fund will invest at least 80% of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities across a broad range of countries, industries and market sectors. Equity securities held by the Fund may be denominated in both U.S. dollars and non-U.S. currencies. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its managed assets in securities issued by companies located in emerging markets when the Sub-Advisers believe they present attractive investment opportunities.

The Fund seeks to invest in a portfolio of approximately 100 to 150 equity securities and will select securities through solid, long-term based analysis of a company’s fundamentals in terms of sales, margins and capital use. The Sub-Advisers seek to identify opportunities in mispricing between the bottom-up fundamental fair value and the market price of individual stocks using a proprietary discounted cash flow valuation model. Highest conviction ideas are selected from the focus list to construct a coherent, well-diversified portfolio.

The Fund’s weighting between U.S. and international equities depends on the Sub-Advisers’ ongoing assessment of market opportunities for the Fund. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to target at least a 40% weighting in international (ex-U.S.) equity securities.

The Sub-Advisers seek to target a relatively high active share in combination with a moderate tracking error as measured against the MSCI World Index^SM.

The Fund’s Integrated Option Strategy: The option strategy of the Fund is designed to seek gains and lower volatility of total returns over a market cycle by generally writing (selling) index call options on selected indices and/or exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) in an amount equal to approximately 50% to 100% of the value of the Fund’s holdings in common stocks.

Top Ten Holdings as of August 31, 2013 (as a percentage of net assets)
Pfizer, Inc.	2.0	%
Microsoft Corp.	2.0	%
Roche Holding AG — Genusschein	1.9	%
Toyota Motor Corp.	1.8	%
Wells Fargo & Co.	1.7	%
JPMorgan Chase & Co.	1.7	%
Google, Inc. — Class A	1.6	%
General Electric Co.	1.6	%
Merck & Co., Inc.	1.6	%
Nestle S.A.	1.5	%
*Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.*

The extent of call option writing activity depends upon market conditions and the Sub-Advisers’ ongoing assessment of the attractiveness of writing call options on selected indices and/or ETFs. Call options will be written (sold) usually at-the money, out-of-the-money or near-the-money and can be written both in exchange-listed option markets and over-the-counter markets with major international banks, broker-dealers and financial institutions.

The Fund writes call options that are generally short-term (between 10 days and three months until expiration). The Fund typically maintains its call positions until expiration, but it retains the option to buy back the call options and sell new call options.

Additionally, in order to reduce volatility of NAV returns, the Fund employs a policy to hedge major foreign currencies using FX forwards or zero cost collars.

In addition to the intended strategy of selling index call options, the Fund may invest in other derivative instruments such as futures for investment, hedging and risk-management purposes to gain or reduce exposure to securities, security markets, market indices consistent with its investment objectives and strategies. Such derivative instruments are acquired to enable the Fund to make market directional tactical decisions to enhance returns, to protect against a decline in its assets or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of equity securities.

Performance: Based on net asset value (“NAV”) as of August 31, 2013, the Fund provided a total return of 3.19% for the period. This NAV return reflects a decrease in the Fund’s NAV from $12.92 on February 28, 2013 to $12.76 on August 31, 2013. Based on its share price as of August 31, 2013, the Fund provided a total return of (2.41)% for the period. This share price return reflects a decrease in the Fund’s share price from $12.64 on February 28, 2013 to $11.81 on August 31, 2013. The Fund’s reference index, the MSCI World Index^SM returned 6.12%. During the period, the Fund made quarterly distributions totaling $0.56 per share, characterized of $0.24 per share return or capital and $0.32 per share net investment income. As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had 18,353,575 shares outstanding.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING GLOBAL ADVANTAGE
AND PREMIUM OPPORTUNITY FUND

Portfolio Specifics: Global equities made strong gains over the reporting period. The United States and Japan were the strongest regions while emerging markets lagged. The period began strongly but there were large regional divergences. Japanese and U.S. equities advanced on the strength of their earnings and macro data, whereas Europe faltered due to political uncertainty and the emerging markets fell as investments flowed out of the region. Equities stumbled worldwide after the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) announced that it could start tapering off quantitative easing if the U.S. economy continued to recover. The news sent U.S. yields significantly higher and pressured defensive equity sectors, which had acted as a bond proxy for yield seeking investors. Global equities resumed their upward path in July after central bankers reassured investors that monetary policies would remain accommodative, and in response to further improvement of macro-economic data. Nonetheless, tapering fears, turmoil in emerging market currencies and the crisis in Syria caused stocks to retreat at period-end and give back much of their year-to-date gains. The consumer discretionary and health care sectors were the best performers during the period; raw materials companies were the weakest on falling commodity prices.

Equity Portfolio: The equity portfolio underperformed the reference index during the reporting period. Predominantly, stock selection detracted from performance. Sector allocation was slightly negative because we underweighted the best performing sectors health care and consumer discretionary. Stock selection was worst among materials and telecommunications services. In the materials sector, Xstrata PLC, Compania de Minas Buenaventura SAA and Barrick Gold Corp. were among the worst performers. Not owning Vodafone Group PLC was detrimental for the stock selection in the telecom sector, as the company sold its stake in Verizon Wireless to Verizon in a U.S. $130 billion deal. Positive was stock selection in financials, where AXA SA and MetLife, Inc. gained after interest rates sharply increased after the Fed’s taper talk.

Over recent months we have made a number of changes to the portfolio. We have added a small number of new stocks, while selling positions where we had lost confidence in the underlying investment case. Thus, we sold Yamada Denki Co., Ltd., the Japanese electronics goods retailer, which continued to fail to deliver on earnings growth. In Japan we also sold Chiyoda Corp., a liquid natural gas plant manufacturer, where we believe order momentum is under pressure. In Europe we sold LM Ericsson Telefon AB. We added to companies which had been weak but where we believe the long term, bottom-up fundamental investment case remains intact.

Option Portfolio: The Fund generates premiums and seeks gains by writing (selling) call options on a variety of market indices on a portion of the value of the equity portfolio, and by implementing an equity market directional strategy on the same market indices via futures. The Fund uses derivative instruments such as futures to make market directional tactical decisions to enhance returns and to protect against a decline in its assets.

During the reporting period, the Fund sold short-maturity options on the S&P 500® Index, the DJ Eurostoxx 50 Index, the Nikkei 225 Index and the FTSE 100 Index. The strike prices of the traded options were typically at or near the money, and the expiration dates ranged between six and seven weeks. We maintained the coverage ratio at approximately 65% during the reporting period. The option positions detracted from performance during the period as all the relevant indexes increased. The futures overlay strategy contributed to performance, albeit marginally. The Fund continued its policy of hedging major foreign currencies back to the U.S. dollar in order to reduce volatility of NAV returns. These hedges also contributed to performance.

Outlook and Current Strategy: Our assessment of the equity markets remains positive for the coming months. We believe global earnings growth has bottomed and will show improvement as the economic recovery gains traction. Globally, earnings seem in line with expectations and point to strong results for financials. Equity valuations remain supportive. We see three factors that we believe will underpin current valuations. Despite tapering talk, we believe monetary policy will remain loose, which will keep interest rates very low. This will make debt instruments generally less attractive and push investors seeking higher returns toward equities. We further believe that corporate earnings have reached a low point and will begin to rise going forward. Finally, our view is the economic risk is declining, and that once investors realize this they will embrace riskier assets such as equities.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Fund is based only on the outlook of its portfolio managers through the end of this period, and may differ from that presented for other ING Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

ING Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements, and such policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for investment companies.

A. Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described below. Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the official closing price when available or, for certain markets, the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale and equity securities traded in the over-the-counter-market are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at that time. Debt securities with more than 60 days to maturity are fair valued using matrix pricing methods determined by an independent pricing service which takes into consideration such factors as yields, maturities, liquidity, ratings and traded prices in similar or identical securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the net asset value. Investments in securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in 60 days or less from date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

Securities for which valuations are not readily available from an independent pricing service may be valued by brokers which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of fair market value obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics.

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities that are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values as defined by the 1940 Act, and as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. Securities traded on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) may also be valued at their fair values, as defined by the 1940 Act, and as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. The value of a foreign security traded on an exchange outside the United States is generally based on its price on the principal foreign exchange where it trades as of the time the Fund determines its NAV or if the foreign exchange closes prior to the time the Fund determines its NAV, the most recent closing price of the foreign security on its principal exchange. Trading in certain non-U.S. securities may not take place on all days on which the NYSE Euronext (“NYSE”) is open. Further, trading takes place in various foreign markets on days on which the NYSE is not open. Consequently, the calculation of the Fund’s NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of securities held by the Fund in foreign securities markets. Further, the value of the Fund’s assets may be significantly affected by foreign trading on days when a shareholder cannot purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. In calculating the Fund’s NAV, foreign securities denominated in foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents. If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by the Fund closes but before the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represent a readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time the Fund determines its NAV. In such a case, the Fund will use the fair value of such securities as determined under the Fund’s valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require the Fund to fair value some or all of its foreign securities include, among others, securities trading in the U.S. and other markets, corporate announcements, natural and other disasters, and political and other events. Among other elements of analysis in the determination of a security’s fair value, the Board has authorized the use of one or more independent research services to assist with such determinations. An independent research service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time the Fund calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that the Fund could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE.

Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, the Fund is not obligated to use the fair valuations suggested by any research service, and valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes the Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable and market value quotations at the time the Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV.

Options that are traded over-the-counter will be valued using one of three methods: (1) dealer quotes; (2) industry models with objective inputs; or (3) by using a benchmark arrived at by comparing prior-day dealer quotes with the corresponding change in the underlying security. Exchange traded options will be valued using the last reported sale. If no last sale is reported, exchange traded options will be valued using an industry accepted model such as “Black Scholes.” Options on currencies purchased by the Fund are valued using industry models with objective inputs.

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the sub-adviser’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality which are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Summary Portfolio of Investments.

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the “Pricing Committee” as established by the Fund’s Administrator. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Investment Adviser or sub-adviser, when determining the fair value of the security. In the event that a security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the fair value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee. When the Fund uses these fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Pricing Committee believes accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks of investing in those securities valued in good faith at fair value nor can it be assured the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Pricing Committee may compare prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and traded prices to the prior or current day prices and the Pricing Committee challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued in good faith at fair value, the Pricing Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuation on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. The end of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of the Fund’s assets and liabilities. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

For the period ended August 31, 2013, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

B. Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of some foreign dividends, when the information becomes available to the Fund.

C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund 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 Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at period 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 U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.

D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund intends to make quarterly distributions from its cash available for distribution, which consists of the Fund’s dividends and interest income after payment of Fund expenses, net option premiums and net realized and unrealized gains on investments. Such quarterly distributions may also consist of a return of capital. At least annually, the Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax principles, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.

The tax treatment and characterization of the Fund’s distributions may vary significantly from time to time depending on whether the Fund has gains or losses on the call options written on its portfolio versus gains or losses on the equity securities in the portfolio. Each quarter, the Fund will provide disclosures with distribution payments made that estimate the percentages of that distribution that represent net investment income, other income or capital gains, and return of capital, if any. The final composition of the tax characteristics of the distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the Fund’s tax year, and will be reported to shareholders at that time. A significant portion of the Fund’s distributions may constitute a return of capital. The amount of quarterly distributions will vary, depending on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of dividends on the common shares will change. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to declare a dividend in each period.

E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported mounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

G. Risk Exposures and the use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund’s investment objectives permit the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently, than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.

Market Risk Factors. In pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market risk factors:

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer duration, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter duration. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or otherwise change in a manner not anticipated by the sub-adviser. As of the date of this report, interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historic lows, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising interest rates.

Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

The use of these strategies involves certain special risks, including a possible imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of derivative instruments and price movements of related investments. While some strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in related investments or otherwise, due to the possible inability of the Fund to purchase or sell a portfolio security at a time that otherwise would be favorable or the possible need to sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time because the Fund is required to maintain asset coverage or offsetting positions in connection with transactions in derivative instruments. Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the following notes.

Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, the Fund generally enters into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by the Fund and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.

The Fund may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate credit risk associated with OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to the Fund is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.

As of August 31, 2013, the maximum amount of loss the Fund would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $593,898, which represents the gross payments to be received by the Fund on open forward foreign currency contracts were they to be unwound as of August 31, 2013. There were no credit events during the period ended August 31, 2013 that triggered any credit related contingent features.

The Fund’s master agreements with derivative counterparties have credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s NAV, which could cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s Master Agreements.

As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had a liability position of $838,619 on open forward foreign currency contracts and written options with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of August 31, 2013, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. As of August 31, 2013 the Fund had posted $1,460,000 in cash collateral for its open derivatives transactions. There were no credit events during the period ended August 31, 2013 that triggered any credit related contingent features.

H. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts and Futures Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of reign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the statement of assets and liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts are included on the Statement of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.

During the period ended August 31, 2013, the Fund used forward foreign currency contracts to hedge its investments in non-U.S. dollar denominated equity securities in an attempt to decrease the volatility of the Fund’s NAV.

During the period ended August 31, 2013, the Fund had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts to buy and sell of $1,521,622 and $85,111,382, respectively.

The Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

indices. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, the 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, the 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 margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the period ended August 31, 2013, the Fund had purchased futures contracts on various equity indices primarily to provide exposures to such index returns while allowing the fund managers to maintain a certain level of cash balances in the Fund. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

During the period ended August 31, 2013, the Fund had average notional values on futures contracts purchased and sold of $19,299,684 and $3,413,005, respectively.

I. Options Contracts. The Fund may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The premium received by the Fund upon the writing of a put or call option is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability which is subsequently marked-to-market until it is exercised or closed, or it expires. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option or purchased put option or the purchase cost of the security for a written put option or a purchased call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.

The Fund generates premiums and seeks gains by writing call options on indices on a portion of the value of the equity portfolio. Please refer to Note 7 for the volume of written option activity during the period ended August 31, 2013.

J. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

ING Investments, LLC (“ING Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, is the Investment Adviser of the Fund. The Fund pays the Investment Adviser for its services under the investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”), a fee, payable monthly, based on an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily managed assets. For purposes of the Management Agreement, managed assets are defined as the Fund’s average daily gross asset value, minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued and unpaid dividends on any outstanding preferred shares and accrued liabilities (other than liabilities for the principal amount of any borrowings incurred, commercial paper or notes issued by the Fund and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred shares). As of August 31, 2013, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

The Investment Adviser entered into a sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. (“IIMA”), a subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., domiciled in The Hague, The Netherlands, and ING Investment Management Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Subject to policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser might determine, IIMA and ING IM manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and limitations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES (continued)

The Investment Adviser has also retained ING Investment Management Co. LLC (“ING IM” or “Consultant”), a Delaware limited liability company, to provide certain consulting services for the Investment Adviser. These services include, among other things, furnishing statistical and other factual information; providing advice with respect to potential investment strategies that may be employed for the Fund, including, but not limited to, potential options strategies; developing economic models of the anticipated investment performance and yield for the Fund; and providing advice to the Investment Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund’s level and/or managed distribution policy. For its services, the Consultant will receive a consultancy fee from the Investment Adviser. No fee will be paid by the Fund directly to the Consultant.

ING Funds Services, LLC (the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as Administrator to the Fund. The Fund pays the Administrator for its services a fee based on an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily managed assets.

NOTE 4 — EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT

The Investment Adviser has entered into a written expense limitation agreement (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Fund under which it will limit the expenses of the Fund, excluding interest, taxes, leverage expenses, and extraordinary expenses (and acquired fund fees and expenses) to 1.00% of average daily managed assets. The Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from the Fund fees waived and other expenses assumed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Fund’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. The Expense Limitation Agreement is contractual through March 1, 2014 and shall renew automatically for one-year terms unless: (i) ING Investments provides 90 days written notice of its termination; and (ii) such termination is approved by the board; or (iii) the investment Management Agreement has been terminated.

Waived and reimbursed fees and any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations for the Fund. As of August 31, 2013, the amounts of waived or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser, and the related expiration dates, are as follows:

August 31,
2014		2015				2016				Total
$—		$	18,715			$	80,984			$	99,699

NOTE 5 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

The Fund has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which allows eligible non-affiliated trustees as described in the Plan to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees fees payable. Amounts deferred are treated as though invested in various “notional” funds advised by ING Investments until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

NOTE 6 — PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments for the period ended August 31, 2013, excluding short-term securities, were $10,530,138 and $21,627,360, respectively.

NOTE 8 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISKS

All mutual funds involve risk — some more than others — and there is always the chance that you could lose money or not earn as much as you hope. The Fund’s risk profile is largely a factor of the principal securities in which it invests and investment techniques that it uses. For more information regarding the types of securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Fund and its corresponding risks, see the Fund’s most recent Prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets. The Fund makes significant investments in foreign securities and may invest up to 20% of its managed assets in securities issued by companies located in countries with emerging markets. Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since investments in securities are denominated in

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 8 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISKS
(continued)

foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as from movements in currency, security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. The risks of investing in foreign securities can be intensified in the case of investments in issuers located in countries with emerging markets.

Leverage. Although the Fund has no current intention to do so, the Fund is authorized to utilize leverage through the issuance of preferred shares and/or borrowings, including the issuance of debt securities. In the event that the Fund determines in the future to utilize investment leverage, there can be no assurance that such a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

NOTE 9 — CAPITAL SHARES

Transactions in capital shares and dollars were as follows:

	Reinvestment of distributions		Net increase in shares outstanding		Reinvestment of distributions		Net increase
Year or period ended	#		#		($)		($)
8/31/2013		13,108		13,108		168,572		168,572
2/28/2013		—		—		—		—

NOTE 10 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

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

Dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

The tax composition of dividends and distributions in the current period will not be determined until after the Fund’s tax year-end of December 31, 2013. The tax composition of dividends and distributions as of the Fund’s most recent tax year-end was as follows:

					Tax Year Ended December 31, 2012
Ordinary Income					Long-term Capital Gain				Return of Capital
$12,130,630					$5,800,051				$3,784,430

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings as of the tax year ended December 31, 2012 were:

Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
$2,073,041

The Fund’s major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2008.

As of August 31, 2013, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue.

NOTE 11 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN

The Investment Adviser, ING IM, and the Administrator, are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING U.S., Inc. (“ING U.S.”). ING U.S. is a U.S.-based financial institution whose subsidiaries operate in the retirement, investment, and insurance industries. ING U.S. is a majority-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”), which is a global financial institution of Dutch origin, with operations in more than 40 countries.

In October 2009, ING Groep submitted a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) to the European Commission in order to receive approval for state aid granted to ING Groep by the Kingdom of the Netherlands in November 2008 and March 2009. To receive approval for this state aid, ING Groep was required to divest its insurance and investment management businesses, including ING U.S., before the end of 2013. In November 2012, the Restructuring Plan was amended to permit ING Groep additional time to complete the divestment. Pursuant to the amended

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 11 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN (continued)

Restructuring Plan, ING Groep must divest at least 25% of ING U.S. by the end of 2013, more than 50% by the end of 2014, and the remaining interest by the end of 2016 (such divestment, the “Separation Plan”).

In May 2013, ING U.S. conducted an initial public offering of ING U.S. common stock (the “IPO”).

On September 13, 2013, ING U.S. filed a new Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with another potential public offering of ING U.S. common stock held by ING Groep. ING U.S. will not issue or sell common stock in the offering. On October 23, 2013, ING U.S. announced the pricing of 33 million shares of its common stock being offered by ING Groep in this offering. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on October 29, 2013. ING Groep also granted the underwriters in the offering an option exercisable within 30 days, to acquire up to approximately an additional 5 million shares from ING Groep. This option was exercised in full. ING U.S. will not receive any proceeds from the offering.

ING Groep continues to own a majority of the common stock of ING U.S. ING Groep has stated that it intends to sell its remaining controlling ownership interest in ING U.S. over time. While the base case for the remainder of the Separation Plan is the divestment of ING Groep’s remaining interest in one or more broadly distributed offerings, all options remain open and it is possible that ING Groep’s divestment of its remaining interest in ING U.S. may take place by means of a sale to a single buyer or group of buyers.

It is anticipated that one or more of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Plan would result in the automatic termination of the existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements under which the Adviser and sub-adviser provide services to the Fund. In order to ensure that the existing investment advisory and sub-advisory services can continue uninterrupted, the Board approved new advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Fund in connection with the IPO. In addition, shareholders of the Fund were asked to approve new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements prompted by the IPO, as well as any future advisory and sub-advisory agreements prompted by the Separation Plan that are approved by the Board and whose terms are not be materially different from the current agreements. Shareholders of the Fund approved a new advisory and sub-advisory agreement on May 6, 2013. This means that shareholders may not have another opportunity to vote on a new agreement with the Adviser or an affiliated sub-adviser even if they undergo a change of control, as long as no single person or group of persons acting together gains “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of ING U.S.

The Separation Plan, whether implemented through public offerings or other means, may be disruptive to the businesses of ING U.S. and its subsidiaries, including the Adviser and affiliated entities that provide services to the Fund, and may cause, among other things, interruption of business operations or services, diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations, reduced access to capital, and loss of key employees or customers. The completion of the Separation Plan is expected to result in the Adviser’s and affiliated entities’ loss of access to the resources of ING Groep, which could adversely affect its business. It is anticipated that ING U.S., as a stand-alone entity, may be a publicly held U.S. company subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as well as other U.S. government and state regulations, and subject to the risk of changing regulation.

The Separation Plan may be implemented in phases. During the time that ING Groep retains a majority interest in ING U.S., circumstances affecting ING Groep, including restrictions or requirements imposed on ING Groep by European and other authorities, may also affect ING U.S. A failure to complete the Separation Plan could create uncertainty about the nature of the relationship between ING U.S. and ING Groep, and could adversely affect ING U.S. and the Adviser and its affiliates. Currently, the Adviser and its affiliates do not anticipate that the Separation Plan will have a material adverse impact on their operations or the Fund and its operation.

Shareholder Proxy Proposals

At a meeting of the Board on January 10, 2013, the Board nominated to Class II of the Board five individuals (collectively, the “Nominees”) for election as Trustees of the Trust. The Nominees include John V. Boyer, Patricia W. Chadwick, and Sheryl K. Pressler, each of whom was a current member of the Board. In addition, the Board nominated to Class II of the Board Albert E. DePrince Jr. and Martin J. Gavin and appointed to Class I of the Board Joseph E. Obermeyer and Russell H. Jones, each of whom was not a member of the Board at the time, but who served as a director or trustee to other investment companies in the ING Funds complex. The Nominees were approved by shareholders on May 6, 2013. The election of the Nominees was effective on May 21, 2013. The appointment of Messrs. Obermeyer and Jones was effective May 21, 2013. These nominations and

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 11 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN (continued)

appointments were, in part, the result of an effort on the part of the Board, another board in the ING Funds complex, and the Investment Adviser to the Fund to consolidate the membership of the boards so that the same members serve on each board in the ING Funds complex. The result is that all ING Funds are now governed by Boards that are compromised of the same individuals.

NOTE 12 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Dividends: Subsequent to August 31, 2013, the Fund made a distribution of:

Per Share Amount		Declaration Date		Payable Date		Record Date
$0.280		9/16/2013		10/15/2013		10/3/2013

Each quarter, the Fund will provide disclosures with distribution payments made that estimate the percentages of that distribution that represent net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital, if any. A significant portion of the quarterly distribution payments made by the Fund may constitute a return of capital.

The Fund was granted exemptive relief by the SEC (the “Order”), which under the 1940 Act, would permit the Fund, subject to Board approval, to include realized long-term capital gains as a part of its regular distributions to Common Shareholders more frequently than would otherwise be permitted by the 1940 Act (generally once per taxable year) (“Managed Distribution Policy”). The Fund may in the future adopt a Managed Distribution Policy.

Effective close of business September 12, 2013, Mr. Gavin resigned as Trustee.

The Fund has evaluated events occurring after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date (subsequent events) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

ˆ		See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
⁺		Other Financial Instruments are derivatives not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments and may include open forward foreign currency contracts, equity forwards, futures, swaps, and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts, equity forwards and futures are valued at the unrealized gain (loss) on the instrument. Swaps and written options are valued at the fair value of the instrument.
#		The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

“Moneyness” is the term used to describe the relationship between the price of the underlying asset and the option’s exercise or strike price. For example, a call (buy) option is considered “in-the-money” when the value of the underlying asset exceeds the strike price. Conversely, a put (sell) option is considered “in-the-money” when its strike price exceeds the value of the underlying asset. Options are characterized for the purpose of Moneyness as, “in-the-money” (“ITM”), “out-of-the-money” (“OTM”) or “at-the-money” (“ATM”), where the underlying asset value equals the strike price.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

During the period, there were no material changes in the Fund’s investment objective or policies that were not approved by the shareholders or the Fund’s charter or by-laws or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Fund.

The Fund may lend portfolio securities in an amount equal to up to 33 1/3% of its managed assets to broker dealers or other institutional borrowers, in exchange for cash collateral and fees. The fund may use the cash collateral in connection with the Fund’s investment program as approved by the Adviser, including generating cash to cover collateral posting requirements. Although the Fund has no current intention to do so, it may use the cash collateral to generate additional income. The use of cash collateral in connection with the Fund’s investment program may have a leveraging effect on the Fund, which would increase the volatility of the Fund and could reduce its returns and/or cause a loss.

The Fund intends to engage in lending portfolio securities only when such lending is secured by cash or other permissible collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The Fund will maintain cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities holdings in an amount sufficient to cover its repayment obligation with respect to the collateral, marked to market on a daily basis.

Securities lending involves the risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the securities loaned if the borrower of the securities fails financially. Loans will be made only to organizations whose credit quality or claims paying ability is considered by the Sub-Adviser to be at least investment grade. The financial condition of the borrower will be monitored by the Adviser on an ongoing basis. The Fund will not lend portfolio securities subject to a written American style covered call option contract. The Fund may lend portfolio securities subject to a written European style covered call option contract as long as the lending period is less than or equal to the term of the covered call option contract.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Unless the registered owner of Common Shares elects to receive cash by contacting Computershare Shareowner Services LLC (the “Plan Agent”), all dividends declared on Common Shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Agent for shareholders in additional Common Shares of the Fund through the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”). Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or, if the Common Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Agent. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Agent prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may re-invest that cash in additional Common Shares of the Fund for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your Common Shares of the Fund to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Agent will open an account for each Common Shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such Common Shareholder’s Common Shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”) payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares. The Common Shares will be acquired by the Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the NYSE or elsewhere. Open-market purchases and sales are usually made through a broker affiliated with the Plan Agent.

If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per Common Share is equal to or greater than the net asset value per Common Share, the Plan Agent will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the net asset value per Common Share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent will invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases. In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Agent will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired in Open-Market Purchases.

The Fund pays quarterly Dividends. Therefore, the period during which Open-Market Purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each Dividend through the date before the next “ex-dividend” date, which typically will be approximately ten days.

If, before the Plan Agent has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per common share exceeds the net asset value per Common Share, the average per Common Share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the net asset value of the Common Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent will cease making Open-Market Purchases and will invest the un-invested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at the net asset value per common share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per Common Share, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.

The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Agent on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Agent will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to Common Shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. Participants that request a partial or full sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $15.00 sales fee and a $0.10 per share brokerage commission on purchases or sales, and may be subject to certain other service charges.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Fund’s Shareholder Service Department at (800) 992-0180.

See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Other Financial Instruments are derivatives not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments and may include open forward foreign currency contracts, equity forwards, futures, swaps, and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts, equity forwards and futures are valued at the unrealized gain (loss) on the instrument. Swaps and written options are valued at the fair value of the instrument.

The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

At August 31, 2013, the following forward foreign currency contracts were outstanding for the ING Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund:
