The family includes the ING Secure Index Five, ING Secure Index Opportunities Plus and ING Secure Index Seven annuity contracts, according to ING U.S. Financial's West Chester, Pa.-based retail annuities unit.

The unit and ING U.S. Financial are part of ING Groep N.V., Amsterdam.

Each annuity offers purchasers a menu that includes a fixed-rate index crediting strategy, a point-to-point participation index strategy, a point-to-point cap index strategy and a monthly average index strategy, according to ING U.S. Financial.

The ING Secure Index Five has a 5-year surrender charge period, and the ING Secure Index 7, a new version of the old ING Secure Index annuity, has a 7-year surrender charge period.

The ING Secure Index Opportunities Plus contract offers a 5% first-year premium bonus.
