ING Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund

as of November 30, 2008 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Fair Value Measurements - Effective March 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

·        Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

·        Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

·        Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumption in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used in valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of November 30, 2008 in determining the Fund’s investments at fair value for purposes of SFAS 157:

“Fair value” for purposes of SFAS 157 is different from “fair value” as used in the 1940 Act. The former generally implies market value, and can include market quotations as a source of value, and the latter refers to determinations of actual value in absence of available market quotations.

 

*Other financial instruments may include forward foreign currency contracts, futures, swaps, and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts and futures are reported at their unrealized gain/loss at period end. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at period end.
