    Advisory service

    Your investment adviser will work with you to tailor a financial solution based on your current and ongoing objectives. In addition, you will receive personalized service from an experienced financial adviser who will provide the advice you need to make decisions based upon your life and goals.

    There is an annual advisory fee based on the value of assets in your ING Opportunity Choice Advisory account. The annual advisory fee is 1.2% for account values less than $500,000 and 1.0% for account values of $500,000 or more.

    This fee is paid quarterly, in advance, based on the account balance as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, and is deducted automatically from your account.
