ING, created by the 1991 merger of insurer Nationale Nederlanden and NMB Postbank Group, also said it's evaluating the position of the company's real estate investment management unit within its banking division.
ING hired Morgan Stanley to explore a sale of the business, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The proceeds may be as much as 1 billion euros, driven by the unit's strong performance, Thomas Nagtegaal, an analyst at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, wrote in a note to investors. He rates
ING "buy."
Maarten Altena, an analyst at SNS Securities with a "buy" recommendation, estimated the price to be as high as 600 million euros.

ING Groep NV, the biggest Dutch financial services company, reduced its risks related to southern European sovereign debt in the second quarter. Managing risk and leverage remains an important priority in the current environment with volatile markets and a fragile economic recovery, Hommen said. The risk reduction comes as 73 percent of investors and analysts who are Bloomberg subscribers call a default by Greece likely, according to a quarterly poll.
"Against that background, it isn't illogical that you further reduce" your risks, said Dirk Peeters, a Brussels based analyst at KBC Securities.
