Corporate Profile

ING Investment Management – Corporate Profile

ING Investment Management is a leading asset manager and one of the world's largest real estate investors. As of September 30, 2009, we manage approximately €414 billion of assets for institutions and individual investors worldwide, and we serve as the principal asset manager of ING Group, the global financial services company. With over 5,000 employees and investment professionals locally based in 35 countries across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, ING Investment Management provides clients with access to domestic, regional and global investment solutions.

With an emphasis on active management, our investment mission is to find unrecognized value ahead of consensus. To this end, our portfolio management teams seek original insights on markets and securities and a vision of investment potential that differs from the consensus view. We apply our proprietary research and analytics, global resources, portfolio diagnostics and risk management to the development of investment products and solutions in pursuit of our clients’ objectives. We believe this is best achieved through an investment platform structured as a series of entrepreneurial investment boutiques united by shared global resources. Our more than 800 experienced investment professionals worldwide are organized in skills-based strategy teams, each employing a specialized investment process but drawing on the shared resources of a large global organization.

ING Investment Management is committed to investing responsibly and delivering client-oriented investment solutions and advisory services across asset classes, geographies and styles. We serve a variety of institutional clients, including public, corporate and union retirement plans, endowments and foundations, and insurance companies, as well as individual investors via distribution partners such as banks, broker/dealers and independent financial advisers.

The successful history of client-focused asset management at ING extends back to 1845 and our roots as a Dutch insurer and commercial bank. Drawing on this rich heritage, we remain committed to delivering to clients’ exceptional long-term risk-adjusted performance complemented by best-in-class service.
