ING Direct highlights three model mutual fund portfolios.
Looking for a way to score points with your customers while bringing in some revenue for your financial institution? Take a long look at your investments section. Are you just dumping your customers into a discount brokerage or do you actually help them make sense of the options available: asset allocation, indexed mutual funds, automatic savings plans, FDIC-insured accounts, IRAs, SEPs, 401ks, 529s, Roth IRAs, and so on.

Investing is confusing and stressful in the best of times, but with the recent downturn and volatility in the stock market, consumers are looking for advice from unbiased sources. Banks and credit unions are ideally suited to deliver believable solutions. For example, ING Direct offers three recommended baskets of indexed mutual fund: conservative, moderate, and aggressive.
