Word on the Street

The Streetwise Fund^™ is based on a simple, proven investment strategy of buying the markets. Buying whole markets is smart because it means no one guesses or gambles on what to invest in since it’s been proven that Market Index returns are consistently better than most managed funds over the long-term.

But don't take our word for it.

This is what some financial experts have to say about investing in the whole market:

"It's better to buy the returns of a particular stock index...than it is to depend on a mutual fund manager to try to beat the index."
   -- Rob Carrick, The Globe & Mail Report on Business

"The best proof of the market's intelligence is that even the professionals can't keep pace with it. Over any period of a few years or more, about 80% of actively managed mutual funds lag behind the market."
   -- Duncan Hood & Ian McGugan, MoneySense Magazine

"Index-based investing has emerged as one of the most efficient and low-cost means for investors looking for diversification. The ING DIRECT Streetwise Fund is a great example."
