ING Investment Management maintains that active management can generate superior long-term investment returns for its investors and believe that our objective should be to deliver consistently attractive returns over the long-term at acceptable levels of risk, rather than seek higher short-term returns that we believe cannot be maintained.

We believe that superior research drives superior performance. With more than 916 investment professionals around the world, we have the scale and depth to deliver on this research commitment on a global basis.

Our research seeks to identify opportunities different from or ahead of consensus views through better insight into fundamentals and outlooks for industries, companies and securities. Disciplined portfolio construction and risk management seek to ensure that all risks in the portfolio are assumed with a full understanding of portfolio impact. We believe that risk-aware portfolio construction improves returns without limiting opportunities.
