Summary Prospectus April 30, 2013, as supplemented August 30, 2013

ING Retirement Moderate Portfolio

Class / Ticker ADV /IRMPX

Before you invest, you may want to review the Portfolio’s Prospectus, which contains more information about the Portfolio and its risks. For free paper or electronic copies of the Prospectus and other Portfolio information (including the Statement of Additional Information and most recent financial report to shareholders), go to www.INGFunds.com/vp/literature; email a request to Literature_request@INGFunds.com; call 1-800-366-0066; or ask your salesperson, financial intermediary, or retirement plan administrator. The Portfolio’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, each dated April 30, 2013, as supplemented, and the audited financial statements on pages 11-24 of the Portfolio’s shareholder report dated December 31, 2012 are incorporated into this Summary Prospectus by reference and may be obtained free of charge at the website, phone number, or e-mail address noted above.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Portfolio seeks a high level of total return (consisting of capital appreciation and income) consistent with a level of risk that can be expected to be greater than that of ING Retirement Conservative Portfolio but less than that of ING Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE PORTFOLIO

The table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Portfolio. The table does not reflect fees or expenses that are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contract”) or a qualified pension or retirement plan (“Qualified Plan”). For more information on these charges, please refer to the documents governing your Variable Contract or consult your plan administrator.

Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses
Expenses you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment

Class ADV
Management Fee 0.14%
Distribution and/or Shareholder Services (12b-1) Fees 0.50%
Administrative Services Fee 0.10%
Other Expenses 0.02%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses 0.40%
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses 1 1.16%
Waivers and Reimbursements 2 (0.16)%
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses After Waivers and Reimbursements 1.00%

1 Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses may be higher than the Portfolio’s ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights, which reflects the operating expenses of the Portfolio and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
2 The adviser is contractually obligated to limit expenses to 1.04% through May 1, 2014; the obligation does not extend to interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses. The obligation will automatically renew for one-year terms unless it is terminated by the Portfolio or the adviser upon written notice within 90 days prior to the end of the then current term or upon termination of the advisory agreement and is subject to possible recoupment by the adviser within three years. The distributor is contractually obligated to waive 0.1587% of the distribution fee through May 1, 2014. There is no guarantee that the distribution fee waiver will continue after May 1, 2014. The distribution fee waiver will only renew if the distributor elects to renew it.

Expense Example $

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Portfolio with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example does not reflect expenses and charges which are, or may be, imposed under your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment had a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class 1 Yr 3 Yrs 5 Yrs 10 Yrs
ADV $ 102 353 623 1,395

The Example reflects applicable expense limitation agreements and/or waivers in effect, if any, for the one-year period and the first year of the three-, five-, and ten-year periods.

Portfolio Turnover % of average value of portfolio

The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transactions costs. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses or in the Expense Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance.

During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests in a combination of Underlying Funds according to a model that is intended to reflect an allocation of approximately 50% of the Portfolio’s assets in equity securities and 50% of the Portfolio’s assets in fixed-income securities. The actual amount of Portfolio assets invested in equity securities may vary at any time and may range from 35% to 65% of its assets in equity securities

1 of 4

and from 35% to 65% of its assets in fixed-income securities. The amount of Portfolio assets invested in equity securities and fixed-income securities are measured with reference to the primary strategies of the Underlying Funds; actual exposure to these asset classes will vary from these amounts if an Underlying Fund is not substantially invested in accordance with its primary strategy.

Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio may invest for its exposure to equity securities hold a wide range of equity type securities which may include stocks of companies of any market capitalization and domestic and foreign securities, including emerging market securities. Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio may invest for its exposure to fixed-income securities hold debt instruments of varying maturities which may include corporate debt instruments of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers; securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or governmental-sponsored enterprises; and inflation-indexed bonds issued both by governments and corporations.

Generally, most of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests will be passively managed index funds. The Portfolio may also invest in derivative instruments including futures and swaps (including interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps) to make tactical allocations and to assist in managing cash.

The Portfolio may invest in exchange-traded funds to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder (“1940 Act”).

In seeking the Portfolio’s investment objective, the sub-adviser (“Sub-Adviser”) uses a proprietary investment model to determine the Portfolio’s asset allocation between equity securities and fixed-income securities. The investment model generally seeks to manage risk and reduce the volatility of the Portfolio’s returns and may consider such factors as: (i) the investment objective of the Portfolio and each of the Underlying Funds; (ii) economic and market forecasts; (iii) proprietary and third-party reports and analysis; (iv) the risk/return characteristics, relative performance, and volatility of the Underlying Funds; (v) the correlation and covariance among the Underlying Funds; and (vi) consideration of ING affiliated insurance companies’ ability to hedge their risk in issuing guarantees on products offering guaranteed lifetime income or death benefits. The Portfolio’s shares are offered to, among others, Separate Accounts of ING insurance company subsidiaries as an investment option under variable annuity contracts which contain certain guarantees. As a result, the investment model may take into account the ING affiliated insurance companies’ considerations related to their reduction of investment risk and their ability to hedge their risk in issuing guarantees on variable annuity contracts.

The Sub-Adviser may change the Portfolio’s asset allocations, investments in particular Underlying Funds (including any Underlying Funds organized in the future), target allocations or other investment policies without prior approval of shareholders as it determines necessary to pursue the Portfolio’s investment objective.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

You could lose money on an investment in the Portfolio. The value of your investment in the Portfolio changes with the values of the Underlying Funds and their investments. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect the Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s performance or cause the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds.

Asset Allocation   Assets will be allocated among Underlying Funds and markets based on judgments by the Adviser. There is a risk that the Portfolio may allocate assets to an Underlying Fund or asset class that underperforms other funds or asset classes.

Company   The price of a given company’s stock could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, or business challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless.

Credit   Prices of bonds and other debt instruments can fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay altogether.

Credit Default Swaps   The Portfolio or an Underlying Fund may enter into credit default swaps, either as a buyer or a seller of the swap. As a buyer of the swap, the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund pays a fee to protect against the risk that a security held by the Portfolio or the Underlying Fund will default. As a seller of the swap, the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund receives payment(s) in return for its obligation to pay the counterparty the full national value of the security in the event of a default of the security issuer. As a seller of a swap, the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional value of the swap. Credit default swaps are largely unregulated and susceptible to liquidity, credit, and counterparty risks.

Currency   To the extent that an Underlying Fund invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged.

Derivative Instruments   Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in interest rates and liquidity risk. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund and reduce its returns. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected


Summary 2 of 4 ING Retirement Moderate Portfolio

with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund to the risk of improper valuation.

Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Underlying Funds experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

Index Strategy   The index selected may underperform the overall market and an Underlying Fund might fail to track its target index. The correlation between an Underlying Fund and index performance may be affected by the Underlying Fund’s expenses and the timing of purchases and redemptions of the Underlying Fund’s shares. An Underlying Fund’s actual holdings might not match the Index and the Underlying Fund’s effective exposure to index securities at any given time may not equal 100%.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds   If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

Interest Rate   With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this Prospectus, interest rates in the United States are at or near historic lows, which may increase the Portfolio’s exposure to risks associated with rising interest rates.

Investment Model   The manager’s proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors.

Liquidity   If a security is illiquid, an Underlying Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the manager might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of an Underlying Fund’s liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount an Underlying Fund could realize upon disposition. An Underlying Fund may make investments that become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perception. An Underlying Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to an Underlying Fund.

Market   Stock prices may be volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to Portfolio costs and impair the ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.

Market Capitalization   Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-sized companies causing an Underlying Fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger, fully-valued companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may decline significantly in market downturns.

Other Investment Companies   The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Portfolio and a proportionate share of the expenses of each Underlying Fund.

U.S. Government Securities and Obligations   U.S. government securities are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. U.S. government securities are subject to market and interest rate risk, and may be subject to varying degrees of credit risk.

An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The following bar chart shows the changes in the Portfolio’s Class ADV shares’ performance from year to year, and the table compares the Portfolio’s Class ADV shares’ performance to the performance of a broad-based securities market index/indices for the same period. The Portfolio’s performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table does not include insurance-related charges imposed under a Variable Contract or expenses related to a Qualified Plan. If these charges or expenses were included, performance would be lower. Thus, you should not compare the Portfolio’s performance directly with the performance information of other investment products without taking into account all insurance-related charges and expenses payable under your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan. The Portfolio’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The Portfolio commenced operations on October 24, 2009 after the reorganization of ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio into the Portfolio. The performance of ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio is considered to be the past performance of the Portfolio for the following bar chart and table. All references to the Portfolio’s performance prior to October 24, 2009 include the performance of ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio. The investment objectives and policies of ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio and the Portfolio differ in certain respects.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF PORTFOLIO SHARES

Shares of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the public. Purchase and sale of shares may be made only by separate accounts of insurance companies serving as investment options under Variable Contracts or by Qualified Plans, custodian accounts, and certain investment advisers and their affiliates, other investment companies, or permitted investors. Please refer to the prospectus for the appropriate insurance company separate account, investment company, or your plan documents for information on how to direct investments in, or sale from, an investment option corresponding to the Portfolio and any fees that may apply. Participating insurance companies and certain other designated organizations are authorized to receive purchase orders on the Portfolio’s behalf.

TAX INFORMATION

Distributions made by the Portfolio to a Variable Contract or Qualified Plan, and exchanges and redemptions of Portfolio shares made by a Variable Contract or Qualified Plan, ordinarily do not cause the corresponding contract holder or plan participant to recognize income or gain for federal income tax purposes. See the accompanying contract prospectus or the governing documents of your Qualified Plan for information regarding the federal income tax treatment of the distributions to your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan and the holders of the contracts or plan participants.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

If you invest in the Portfolio through a Variable Contract issued by an insurance company or through a Qualified Plan that, in turn, was purchased or serviced through an insurance company, broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, the Portfolio and its adviser or distributor or their affiliates may: (1) make payments to the insurance company issuer of the Variable Contract or to the company servicing the Qualified Plan; and (2) make payments to the insurance company, broker-dealer or other financial intermediary. These payments may create a conflict of interest by: (1) influencing the insurance company or the company servicing the Qualified Plan to make the Portfolio available as an investment option for the Variable Contract or the Qualified Plan; or (2) by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Variable Contract or the pension servicing agent and/or the Portfolio over other options. Ask your salesperson or Qualified Plan administrator or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
