About

The firm provided brokerage, securities trading, and investment services primarily to institutional and corporate clients. Today, ING Barings as a distinct entity has largely been absorbed into ING Group's broader financial services. The current entity operating under the Barings name, Barings LLC, is a global alternative investment management firm headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is a subsidiary of MassMutual Financial Group.
