Insurer ING said it will fund the acquisition from existing internal resources.

Citigroup and financial services firm State Street are joint owners of Quincy, Mass.-based CitiStreet, which was created in 2000.

Citigroup said the transaction is part of its plan to sell non-core assets and reallocate capital.

ING said the deal will make it the third-largest defined contribution business in the U.S., based on assets under management and assets under administration.

CitiStreet, which has about 3,700 workers, had more than $262 billion in assets under administration as of March 31.

The acquisition is expected to close by the end of the third quarter.
