President's Letter

March 31, 2004

Dear Shareholder:

The 12-month period ended March 31, 2004 marked one of the best one-year periods for investors in quite some time. 2003 turned out to be an exceptionally good year for the U.S. economy and markets. After three down years, the stock markets rebounded nicely with double-digit gains both here and abroad. Bond markets posted modest gains, which were positive as well.

Why was it so good?
A number of developments drove performance upward. Initial military objectives in Iraq were achieved quickly, which enabled President Bush to focus on the economy. The Federal Reserve, the Bush Administration and the Treasury took very aggressive actions in an effort to right a deteriorating economic situation. The Fed engineered a dramatic reduction in long-term interest rates. The Treasury engineered a decline in the value of the dollar. The Administration engineered a significant reduction in taxes on capital gains, dividend income and on wages and salaries. These actions were quickly recognized by the stock market as highly likely to successfully energize the economy. The stock market began to anticipate positive change in early April and really caught on by early May. A huge rally ensued. Policy initiatives caused the economy to improve sharply early in the third quarter of 2003. GDP rose more than eight percent from July to September. With the economy improving dramatically, corporate profits started t o improve and stock prices followed profits.

Looking ahead
We believe that there remain numerous benefits yet to play out for the economy from the action taken last year. The Federal Reserve appears determined to keep interest rates low. As much as $80 billion from tax rebates will go into consumer pockets in the first half of 2004. Finally, we believe that the dollar decline will shortly start to have a positive impact on export growth.

Further, we feel that there are some new developments that will likely help the economy. I believe we will see some improvement in capital spending because accelerated depreciation schedules, part of the stimulus package, expire at year-end. Also, business has been satisfying greater than expected consumer demand by drawing down inventories. Replenishing these have now become necessary, further boosting industrial production as this occurs.

Of course there are always some wild cards that come into play when looking forward. If inflation begins to rear its ugly head in the form of meaningful acceleration in wages and salaries there is a risk that the Fed will have to back off of its current easy stance on interest rates. As of now, there are no signs of this occurring.

The outcome of the presidential election will be important. Should President Bush not be reelected, there would be concern over his tax initiatives being reversed. Lower withholding rates, the elimination of estate taxes and the reduction in capital gains and dividend income tax rates have all had a very positive impact on the economy.

Finally, until recently China has been thought of as the icing on the world economic growth reacceleration cake. Some now argue that China is the cake. Important incremental demand is coming from China. China may be overheating and a slowdown is possible. World growth expectations might then get modified.

Caveats aside, it looks as if the first half of the 2004 economy will be quite strong. The second half of the year should also be solid in our opinion. Of course, none of this is a sure thing. Whichever way the financial markets turn, we firmly believe that the best way to achieve your long-term financial goals is to develop and maintain a personal financial plan. It's also important to keep in mind that while markets change, the basic principles of investing do not. Diversifying your portfolio, maintaining a long-term perspective and periodically reviewing your asset allocation can help you manage market fluctuations and more effectively work toward your goals.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Balanced Fund

March 31, 2004

An interview with Cynthia P. Prince-Fox, portfolio manager of Ivy Balanced Fund

The following discussion provides you with information regarding the Fund's performance during the 12 months ended March 31, 2004, while the following graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2004. The Fund's Board of Trustees recently approved a change in the Fund's fiscal year end from September 30 to March 31.

As you likely know, the Advantus Spectrum Fund merged into the Ivy Balanced Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Spectrum Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Balanced Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Balanced Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Class A shares of the Fund increased 22.86 percent for the year before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 15.79 percent. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the stock market) increased 35.13 percent during the year, the Citigroup Treasury/Government Sponsored/Credit Index (the index that generally reflects the performance of the bond market) increased 6.35 percent, and the Lipper Balanced Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar objectives) increased 23.80 percent. A variety of indexes is presented because the Fund invests in stocks, bonds and other instruments. You will note that certain of the indexes have changed in this year's report. In prior years, the Fund was compared against the S&P 500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, and a blend of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. In this year's report, t he Fund is compared against the S&P 500 Index and the Citigroup Treasury/Government Sponsored/Credit Index. We believe that these indexes provide a more accurate basis for comparing the Fund's performance to the types of securities in which the Fund invests. All of the above-mentioned indexes are presented in this year's report for comparison purposes. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

What factors affected performance relative to the benchmark indexes during the last 12 months?
The most significant contributions to the Fund's overall performance were asset allocation and industry emphasis. During the first quarter of this 12-month period, we reduced our cash position and moved into stocks that we felt would benefit from an improving economy. More specifically, we increased our technology and basic industry weightings during the year to represent just over a third of our equity holdings. The most significant drag to total performance came from our fixed income holdings. While posting a positive increase for the year, they significantly lagged the overall increase in the equity portion of the portfolio during the year.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
The year got off to a rough start as bonds again outperformed stocks during the first quarter of 2003 as earnings remained lackluster, complicated by the overhang of the Iraq War and the Asian SARS outbreak. However, as the war ended and the SARS epidemic seemed contained, the markets began to realize that the economy was starting to gain momentum as consumer, business, and federal government spending accelerated. This resulted in a dramatic improvement in corporate profits during the third quarter, mostly brought on by earlier cost cutting and productivity increases. Technology stocks made the most impressive comeback in 2003, due, in hindsight, to the fact that they were the most oversold group and that earnings results surprised most investors. The interest-rate environment also remained favorable for the financial markets as the Federal Reserve remained content that deflation was more of a risk than inflation.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
In the overweighted equity portion, the Fund benefited mainly from positioning in a variety of companies that were operationally and financially leveraged to an economic recovery, including certain information technology, industrial and consumer discretionary stocks. The Fund's fixed-income portion was aided by a significant weighting in corporate bonds, the best-performing sector of the fixed income market last year. In addition, we kept our cash positions low during the second half of the period.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
Overall, we placed our greatest emphasis on technology, financials and materials during the year. While we continue to feel that these areas will do well as we head into 2004, we may shift our focus as the interest-rate environment starts to change. We also think that energy stocks may play "catch-up" relative to other commodity stocks given a worldwide economic recovery, higher than expected energy prices and a declining dollar.

The opinions expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and no forecasts can be guaranteed.

Please note that Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company began managing the Fund on May 1, 2003. The Fund was previously managed by Advantus Capital Management, Inc.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Bond Fund

March 31, 2004

The Ivy Bond Fund is subadvised by Advantus Capital Management, Inc. The following is an interview with Christopher R. Sebald, portfolio manager of the Fund

As you likely know, the Advantus Bond Fund merged into the Ivy Bond Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Bond Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Bond Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Bond Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund's Class A shares increased 5.99 percent for the year before the impact of sales load and, after the impact of sales load, decreased 0.10 percent for the year. This compares with the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the bond market), which increased 5.52 percent for the year, and the Lipper Corporate Debt Funds A-Rated Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 6.09 percent for the year. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load. The Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Index replaces the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index in this year's report. We believe that the new index provides a more accurate basis for comparing the Fund's performance to the typ es of securities in which the Fund invests. Both indexes are presented in this year's report for comparison purposes.

What factors affected performance relative to the benchmark index during the last 12 months?
Primarily, in relation to its index, the Fund was adversely affected by the impact of the Fund's sales load. On the positive side, this was a strong year for corporate bonds, which improved dramatically from very wide spreads, and all other spread sectors of the fixed income market, except for the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market, performed well versus Treasuries. The largest contributor to Fund performance was our allocation to corporate bonds, followed by investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS).

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
In our view, this was clearly one of the most volatile years for fixed income and all investing markets in many years. Several factors influenced performance, including interest rates, sector returns, credit spreads and individual security performance. Some of the significant events during the last 12 months included the war in Iraq, the scare of deflation, corporate governance scandals and generational lows in interest rates. Each of these events affected wide segments of the fixed income markets. However, we feel that our focus on fundamentals benefited the Fund as we continued to employ our relative-value, bottom-up approach in an effort to add excess returns in security selection, as well as strategic sector weightings.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
We were overweight in corporate bonds versus the index most of the year, but increased our allocation in the third quarter of 2003, as we expected the economy to improve and for corporate credit to benefit. In particular, we increased our holdings in those lower-rated corporate bonds that we felt would improve the most with an improving economy, and this benefited performance. We also did well with our overweight in CMBS and ABS holdings. These securities are generally of higher quality, and they continued to perform very well against the higher-quality sectors of the corporate bond market. Spreads in these sectors narrowed substantially versus Treasuries, along with corporate bonds, and our overweight positions provided attractive returns relative to the mediocre returns experienced in the generic MBS markets.

What is your outlook for the coming year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
We continue to believe that the economy will do well over the next two quarters, producing adequate growth but not pressuring interest rates substantially. However, we expect slightly more volatility in credit markets. Recent negative performance in the equity markets appears to have pressured corporate spreads. We have begun to reduce our holdings in the corporate bond sector as valuations increased on tighter spreads. With expected higher interest rates, we think valuations should become more attractive in this sector. We expect the MBS sector to hold more relative-value opportunities and to be a greater potential source of outperformance in the coming year.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund

March 31, 2004

The Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund is subadvised by Peter Cundill & Associates, Inc. The following is an interview with Peter Cundill, CFA, and Hiok Hhu Ng, portfolio managers of the Fund

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund did well during the last 12 months, with Advisor Class* shares of the Fund increasing 57.06 percent. This compared with the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the global stock market), which increased 43.87 percent during the period, and the Lipper Global Funds Universe Average (generally representing the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 45.40 percent during the period.

Why did the Fund outperform its benchmark index during the last 12 months?
The decline in the global equity markets early in the year - due to war in Iraq, SARS and weak confidence in general - led to a greater "margin of safety" (the difference between the underlying value of a company and the price we are paying) in our investments and gave us the opportunity to buy more. As a result, most investments in the Fund contributed positively to performance during the fiscal year. Due to our exposure in North American and Asian equities at the beginning of the period, the performance predominantly came from these respective regions.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
Fiscal and monetary stimulus in the U.S. boosted GDP significantly, and the economic improvement was reflected in higher equity valuations. In Japan, we believe the economy continues to see signs of a recovery such as lower unemployment, a recovery in the manufacturing sector, a boost in capital spending and an increase in corporate earnings. In addition, recent economic data suggests that Japanese consumers are starting to increase spending. Furthermore, hostile takeovers are emerging, buyout funds are being formed and corporate activism is increasing. In our view, it is imperative for corporate activism to occur for our holdings to realize and unlock what we feel is their respective hidden value.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
During the year, we continued to predominantly hedge our international currency exposure. The hedges had an overall negative impact on the Fund's return, as the U.S. dollar weakened against major international currencies. However, we believe it has been a meaningful opportunity cost, for hedging allowed us to focus our attention solely on picking stocks. Throughout the period we continued to employ our value-investment discipline regardless of market conditions.

The Fund was predominantly invested in Asia, especially in Japan, due to the value opportunities that we felt it presented. There was, in our view, an insatiable appetite for foreign investments in Asia, particularly in China and Japan. However, we believe it has become more important to understand the strengthening economic relationship between the two countries and how it benefits them since China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO). Despite their history, we feel there is an ongoing "unconscious partnership" between the Chinese and Japanese, since this partnership is mutually beneficial economically. As a result, we continue to be pleased with the positioning of the Fund, as we think several of our Japanese investments should benefit from expansion and growth in China over the long term.

Our diligent search for ideas in North America was recently successful as we added another North American position in the Fund, marginally increasing our weighting in this region. Regardless, we believe Japan and Asia ex-Japan continues to offer more compelling valuations despite the continued appreciation in the equity markets. We continued to be very pleased with the Fund's existing investment in Germany. However, the European equity market continues to offer limited ideas and so we remain cautious.

What industries or regions did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you
going forward?
We continue to invest primarily in Asia, especially in Japan, due to our ability to find what we feel are value investments with an emphasis on consumer brand, media and financial industries. We believe that Japan and Asia ex-Japan have been offering more compelling valuations until recently due to the continued appreciation in the equity markets. In our view, there is less margin of safety in our holdings. However, we believe that balance sheets in Asia continue to be stronger and, as a result, more flexible, relative to North American and European balance sheets. The decline in margin of safety has tempered our optimism globally but has not dimmed our resolve to find new and better ideas. In the year ahead, we will continue to diligently search for value opportunities around the world.

The opinions expressed in this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The managers' views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and no forecasts can be guaranteed.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Dividend Income Fund

March 31, 2004

An interview with David P. Ginther, CPA, portfolio manager of Ivy Dividend Income Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance since its inception on June 30, 2003. The Fund's Board of Trustees recently approved a change in the Fund's fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31.

How did the Fund perform since its inception?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark index since its inception, with the Class A shares of the Fund increasing 11.15% during the period before the impact of sales load, and after the impact of sales load, increasing 4.76%. In comparison, the Russell 1000 Index (the index that generally reflects the performance of the large cap sector of the stock market) increased 17.83%, while the Lipper Equity Income Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 17.10%. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index since its inception?
The Fund focused on high-quality, large-cap companies with strong cash flow. It was underweight in technology and consumer discretionary stocks due to the low number of large-cap companies that pay dividends in these sectors. The Fund was negatively affected by the strong performance that came from the "turnaround companies" that greatly underperformed in the down market. The more aggressive, lower-quality, non-paying dividend stocks led the market recovery despite positive tax law changes affecting dividends.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance since its inception?
The most important event affecting the Fund was the tax legislation signed into law by President Bush that reduced the effective tax rate paid on dividends and capital gains from 38.6 percent to 15 percent. We believe that the favorable change in tax rates on dividends will put pressure on companies' managements to increase or initiate dividends. We also believe that dividends will become more important as investors focus on total returns and on companies that pay a higher dividend.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
The Fund continues to focus on large-cap, dividend-paying growth stocks. We believe that high-quality companies that are leaders in their industry with strong earnings and cash flow will accelerate dividend payouts in the future. Late in 2003, we increased our cyclical exposure due to the economic recovery, strong consumer spending (despite the unemployment rate increasing slightly) and the weaker dollar. We believe the economic recovery was stronger than expected due to lower interest rates, a successful military campaign in Iraq, fiscal stimulus and the President's tax cuts.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize since the Fund's inception, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
During the period, we focused on companies with yields equal to or higher than the market. We looked for companies with strong balance sheets and cash flow that we felt could increase their dividend in a slowly improving economy. Areas of emphasis included pharmaceuticals, financials and energy.

Looking forward, we intend to continue to focus on energy and basic-industry cyclicals that we feel are sensitive to an economic recovery. We believe that both areas have attractive fundamentals that should benefit from higher capital spending and a full economic recovery next year. We also believe that higher-quality, large-cap companies with strong cash flow will outperform the lower-quality, turnaround companies that led the market in 2003. As always, we intend to continue to focus on large-cap, high quality stocks that we believe can grow their dividend payout.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy European Opportunities Fund

March 31, 2004

The Ivy European Opportunities Fund is subadvised by Henderson Investment Management Ltd. The following is an interview with Stephen Peak, portfolio manager of the Fund

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund performed quite well during the last 12 months, strongly outperforming both its benchmark index and peer group. Class A shares of the Fund increased 94.18 percent before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 83.01 percent. This compared with the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the European stock market), which increased 53.96 percent during the period, and the Lipper European Region Funds Universe Average (generally representing the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 53.86 percent during the period. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

Why did the Fund outperform its benchmark index during the last 12 months?
In our view, superior stock selection and an opportunistic investment strategy were the primary drivers of outperformance during the period. We focused on what we felt were high-quality companies with stable earnings growth and good visibility, and this approach led to high returns for the Fund during the last 12 months.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
European equity markets performed well over the second half of 2003 as confidence grew in the global recovery. European stocks ended 2003 on a high note, and started 2004 in the optimistic mood they ended the previous year. Stocks in the region rose in the first two months of 2004, and so far the strength of demand, in our view, has more than offset the damaging impact of a stronger euro. European small-cap stocks have continued to outperform their large-cap counterparts as investors have sought out companies that generate their earnings domestically and so are protected from the adverse impact of the U.S. dollar's depreciation.

During the latter part of 2003 sector trends were mixed, with technology significantly underperforming as investors rotated out of higher-beta sectors. Unusually, given a rising market, there were pockets of strength in defensive areas, with pharmaceuticals being one of the strongest performers. Pharmaceutical strength continued at the start of 2004 with telecom-equipment stocks also performing well, buoyed by signs of recovery in demand for telecommunications network equipment.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
Throughout the period, we took profits from some of our best-performing holdings across a range of sectors. We also trimmed selected stocks that had done well but in which we had less confidence going forward. However, there were no fundamental changes to the portfolio as we maintained a balanced stance, still with a focus on small/medium-sized companies. We continued to seek out what we felt were high-quality companies that offered stable earnings growth and good visibility.

What industries did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
In our view, European equity markets are interestingly poised. As of May 1, 2004, 10 new countries will be joining the European Union (EU). They will add 20 percent to the EU's current population - the equivalent to the population of West Germany - and, in addition, add roughly 5 percent to the European Union's gross domestic product, or GDP. These countries bring cheap, well-educated labor as well as significantly lower corporate tax regimes and a different political tradition to that of existing EU member states. Thus we feel that the EU enlargement presents a number of challenges and opportunities. While parts of the stock market fully anticipate better economic conditions, we are still steering a steady course via exposure to selected predictables. We intend to maintain our diverse portfolio stance, selectively taking profits in stocks that we feel are near to or at their potential and buying stocks that we believe present attractive opportunities as they arise.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund

March 31, 2004

The Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund is managed by Mackenzie Financial Corporation. The following is an interview with Fred Sturm, portfolio manager of the Fund

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund did well, outperforming its peer group for the prior 12 months. However, it slightly underperformed its benchmark index. Class A shares of the Fund increased 63.62 percent for the year before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 54.22 percent. In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Commodity-Related Index (the index that generally reflects the performance of the global natural resource markets) increased 64.71 percent during the year, and the Lipper Natural Resources Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar objectives) increased 43.71 percent. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index during the last 12 months?
The Morgan Stanley Capital International Commodity-Related Index is a useful, but not perfect, comparison to the Fund because it focuses on North American-based resource stocks, excluding the types of global companies that the Fund invests in. The Fund also differs from the index in that the Fund typically maintains a larger percentage allocation to the energy sector than does the index. We feel that the Fund's more diverse nature contributed to the slight underperformance of the Fund.

On the positive side, we feel our three-pronged investment strategy was a strong contributor to Fund performance during the period. This strategy, which involves anchoring the portfolio with low-cost international leaders, augmenting it with companies growing through exploration and development, and seeking to take advantage of commodity price trends by making sub-sector shifts when necessary, served us well in a year that saw impressive gains in resource stocks around the globe.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months? In 2003, global equity markets bounced back from a three-year bear market to post very strong gains. Strengthening economic conditions lent support to the market in general and the natural resources sector in particular. During the first quarter of 2004, the equity market advance stalled as investors switched gears from "recovery bounce" to "show me" mode. After a minor correction, which we believe has been overdue, we expect the stock market to attempt to rally to new cycle highs in the quarters ahead.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
As part of the three-pronged strategy noted above, we focused on what we felt were higher quality companies in the resources sector. We also held some cash reserves while waiting for good buying opportunities. In 2004, for example, we took advantage of the pullback in certain aluminum, uranium, nickel and iron-ore producers to add to existing positions. Going forward, we intend to continue to focus on what we feel are higher-quality companies, as evidenced primarily by their superior margins relative to their competitors.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
Barring substantive evidence to the contrary, our analysis suggests we are maturing through a bull market cycle that at some point may require a more defensive posture for an interim period. However, we believe that this is all in the context of a long-term favorable outlook for resources. The basic premise remains that demand keeps growing, but producers, fearing a slip back into the depressed 1980s environment, continue to constrain new development. At this point we feel that valuations appear reasonable for the low inflation/low interest rate environment. Earnings continue to trend higher, offering the potential for further gains in our opinion. This year we expect reasonably priced companies that deliver solid results will push higher, but poorer showings could well slip back. Going forward, we intend to continue to seek what we feel are solid operations with attractive investment potential.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy International Fund

March 31, 2004

An interview with Thomas A. Mengel, portfolio manager of Ivy International Fund

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund showed a positive return for the period, but lagged its benchmark index. The Class A shares of the Fund increased 39.30 percent for the year before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 31.29 percent. In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (Europe, Australia, Far East - the index that generally reflects the performance of the international securities markets) increased 57.54 percent during the year, and the Lipper International Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar objectives) increased 53.37 percent. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index during the last 12 months?
We believe that three factors contributed to underperformance. First, our stock selection lagged the benchmark return. Second, we were underweight in Japan during the fiscal year. And third, we did not participate in the broad high-beta (lower quality) stock rally, preferring instead to focus on what we felt were well-managed companies in healthy sectors.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
Early in 2003, global geopolitical concerns regarding the Iraq War triggered extreme global market volatility and risk aversion. Continental Europe suffered some of the weakest equity markets, due to their inflexible corporate legal structure and labor markets. In March of 2003, Asian consumer markets were shocked by an outbreak of SARS (atypical pneumonia) that depressed travel and retail sectors through July.

Generally, government policy responses, in our view, were prompt and appropriate. Where possible, fiscal policy was tapped in an effort to create business demand or encourage business and consumer activity. Central banks continued to ease monetary policy during these difficult times, providing reassurance to global investors and helping to set the stage for an impressive stock market rally that began in the spring of 2003.

By August, the global growth outlook had improved significantly. Both the United States and China were growing above trend, creating enormous export demand across Asia and Europe. China also benefited from a broad increase in outsourcing demand, as production facilities were shifted to China in an effort to take advantage of that country's low labor costs. A capital spending replacement cycle further boosted demand for technology equipment. Low interest rates and abundant credit fueled strong housing and auto spending in many countries, despite lagging job growth in most.

Late in the period, global investors grew more concerned about rising energy prices and the possibility of slower economic growth in China as the government of that country sought to address areas of imbalance.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
During several periods throughout the year, the Japanese stock index outperformed other major markets, in anticipation of global reflation. Still, we believe there has been little progress on structural financial reform in Japan and that serious risks remain. As a result, we underweighted this market during the last 12 months.

Early in the year, we increased our equity exposure as broad market sentiment improved, but we chose to maintain our preference for what we saw as well-managed companies in healthy sectors rather than join the high-beta trend that was initially driving stock prices higher.

Late in the period, we trimmed exposure to emerging markets and the technology sector due to higher valuations.

What areas did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
We have continued to emphasize growth companies in Continental Europe that we believe benefit from the global recovery, especially export companies that we feel enjoy a solid competitive position. We have avoided domestic-demand related shares in core Europe, where consumer spending remains very weak. In Britain, we originally focused on growth stocks that we felt benefited from the relatively strong domestic economy, but have cautiously trimmed our holdings because the country has now entered a modest interest-rate-increase cycle. Despite continuing imbalances within Japan's economy, we believe that strong regional export demand is beginning to translate into a better domestic economy. We have increased our exposure to domestic-demand related shares in Japan as deflationary forces appear to be less severe. Our Asian weights are moderate, concentrated on industry leaders that we believe should benefit from continued strong Chinese business demand. We remain alert to signs of over-leveraged households in seve ral countries, especially those with recent housing booms sparked by extremely low interest rates.

We intend to remain flexible with our geographic and sector allocations, responding to future developments in global financial markets. In the current environment, we think sustainable U.S. economic growth remains the most important prerequisite for rising global equity markets. Capital spending plans may continue to be supportive, but we believe that U.S. consumer spending power must be maintained. Longer term, we feel that U.S. employment growth is key. In our view, these critical U.S. macroeconomic issues will dictate the form and pace of global growth this year.

We intend to closely monitor Continental Europe for any signs of corporate financial strain that could develop if the euro were to strengthen dramatically beyond its current level. Similarly, we believe that any significant yen strengthening could be a detriment to Japan's economic stabilization efforts. If the U.S. dollar weakens significantly further, we anticipate a period of broad currency volatility that is typically associated with currency extremes.

The difficult business climate of the last few years has forced many foreign companies to accelerate restructuring efforts, especially across Europe. This positive improvement should, in our view, be an important focus for investors as the broader economic and financial environment improves. We continue to believe that foreign equity investments provide important long-term portfolio diversification for our shareholders.

Managers' Discussion of
Ivy International Balanced Fund

March 31, 2004

The Ivy International Balanced Fund is subadvised by Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC. The following is an interview with E. Tucker Scott III and Alexander C. Calvo, portfolio managers of the Fund

As you likely know, the Advantus International Balanced Fund merged into the Ivy International Balanced Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus International Balanced Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy International Balanced Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy International Balanced Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Class A shares of the Fund increased 48.17 percent for the year before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 39.65 percent. In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (Europe, Australia, Far East - the index that generally reflects the performance of the international securities markets) increased 57.54 percent during the year, the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Government Bond Index (the index that generally reflects the performance of international government bonds) increased 16.22 percent, and the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar objectives) increased 34.65 percent. In prior years, in addition to the indexes being presented, the Fund was compared against a blended index of 60% Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index and 40% J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Government Bond Index. We do not believe that comparing the Fund's performance to this blended index is necessary i n order to provide an accurate basis for comparing the Fund's performance to the types of securities in which the Fund invests. This blended index will be presented in this year's report for comparison purposes. A variety of indexes is presented because the Fund invests in stocks, bonds and other instruments. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

What factors affected performance relative to the benchmark indexes during the last 12 months?
On a relative basis, our underweighting of financials, primarily strong diversified financials/banks, hurt performance. Overall stock selection was the largest positive contributor to equity performance, with an absolute contribution from all 10 sectors included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index. Our overweighting of industrials and materials contributed most significantly in both absolute and relative terms, followed by significant contributions from our holdings within telecommunication services, information technology, utilities and energy. Geographically, our European holdings delivered solid investment results, as did our exposure to developing market countries.

The fixed-income portion of the Fund benefited from key overweight positions relative to the index during the period. Specifically, the global allocation benefited from its overweight positions in the top-performing developed bond markets of Australia and New Zealand, as well as its positions in Scandinavia and Euroland. Sweden and Norway showed strong returns over the 12-month period, while euro area bond markets also rose significantly. The Fund also benefited from its zero allocation to Japan, which underperformed other developed bond markets during the period.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
Strong economic growth benefited global markets, which underpinned by multi-decade low interest rate levels across the globe, enjoyed tremendous liquidity. This boosted returns for U.S.-based international investors. Economic growth was partially reflected in a synchronized global recovery in corporate profitability. As of the end of 2003, corporate profits in the U.S. and the U.K. reached new highs. Corporate profits in Japan and Canada were still below recent highs; however, they increased significantly from their respective recession low points in 2001.

One primary market condition that influenced the equity and fixed income returns was the continued weakness in the U.S. dollar (USD). The persistence of global imbalances, marked by the deterioration of the U.S. trade and current account deficits, drove the adjustment of the USD. The USD depreciated 11.64% against its major trading partners during the 12-month period, supporting the appreciation of most major currencies.

In general, the pervasive decline of the U.S. dollar versus most currencies over the past couple of years has increased the returns derived from international investments for U.S.-based investors. In contrast, their foreign-based counterparts have experienced diminished returns as a result of the foreign currency appreciation. This changed somewhat in the first quarter of 2004, reflecting the dollar's recent stabilization. Nonetheless, the main direction in equity prices over the past few quarters has been upward. We believe these return differentials resulting from currency movements emphasize the importance of diversification, not just by sector and country, but also by currency.

Another important aspect has been the role China has played in this global economic recovery. In 2003, 80 percent of the world's export growth resulted from greater demand in China. As China continued to industrialize and build its infrastructure (roads, bridges, energy generation), global demand for commodities intensified, leading to higher commodity prices. In 2003, prices for aluminum, silver, zinc and copper contracts rose significantly over the previous year.

Historically, surges in commodity prices have generally coincided with labor shortages and wage inflation, leading to overall inflation and monetary tightening. However, the current abundant labor supply in the U.S., China and India, and China's ability to provide low-cost products to many large economies, has resulted in less inflationary pressure.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
Our equity strategy is to continue to look for securities that are selling at a substantial discount to our determination of their fair market value based on earnings and cash flow growth. Our analysts employ fundamental valuation techniques and five-year earnings and cash flow forecasts to identify what we see as the most attractive stocks globally. From our bottom-up perspective, an eclectic mix of stocks from many sectors has continued to populate our bargain list. We view this fact as representative of a broader market theme: the narrowing of valuation discrepancies between sectors. Our investment process, however, has always been value-driven and future weightings versus the Morgan Stanley Capital International benchmark will continue to reflect this fact.

Upon reviewing sector-specific returns for the Morgan Stanley Capital International benchmark in 2003 as well as the first quarter of this year, we do not conclude that a broad-based sector rotation has occurred. This confirms our belief that this has been primarily a stock picker's market, a theme suggested by our empirical evidence of finding stocks we consider undervalued across many sectors and countries. This theme relates to what we consider the strength of our management team.

The global bond portion of the Fund utilized active-duration management, given the fact that not all duration risk is equivalent between markets. Monetary conditions remain tight in Europe, where the strength of the Euro has counteracted the monetary easing over the past easing cycle, limiting near-term interest rate risk. Thus duration risk in the U.S. and in Europe remains quite different in light of different currency, monetary, and growth dynamics in each respective region. Over the past 12 months, the global bond portion of the Fund has benefited from overweight duration exposure to Norway and Sweden, countries in which the central banks more aggressively reduced the reference rate.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
As the year progressed, valuations across the broad market rose, and in some cases (certain technology related stocks, for instance) became difficult to justify on a fundamental basis. Also, concerns about the magnitude of a possible slowdown in the rate of economic growth led investors to lighten their exposure to sectors that had performed well over the past 12 months (e.g., materials, industrials, information technology). A correction in these sectors should not be considered surprising in our opinion, and could indeed be viewed as "healthy," especially for the long-term investor. Over the past several months, our holdings in cyclical sectors such as materials, industrials, and information technology benefited the portfolio, due in part to intense investor interest in stocks that should normally benefit in the early stages of an economic recovery. In general, we had been accumulating these holdings over three or four years, in many cases having acquired them at significant discounts to their rec ent valuations. As previously noted, we anticipate an eclectic mix of stocks from many sectors populating our bargain list going forward.

Over the past year, the international fixed-income portion of the Fund emphasized allocation to Euroland, given the positive yield differentials relative to the U.S. as well as currency appreciation. Much of the adjustment of the USD has occurred against the Euro over the past two years. Currencies from other regions, particularly Asia, did not experience similar appreciation against the U.S. dollar despite large trade surpluses with the U.S. Consequently, we feel that non-Japan Asia is an attractive potential opportunity to benefit from global economic growth as well as to take advantage of the discrepancy between currency performance and macroeconomic trends. In our view, strong inter-regional growth trends, balance of payment strength and export sensitivity to global growth also highlight the attractiveness of the region both with respect to the bonds and the currencies going forward.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy International Value Fund

March 31, 2004

An interview with Thomas A. Mengel, portfolio manager of Ivy International Value Fund

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund had a very strong positive return, but performance relative to the benchmark index was disappointing. Class A shares of the Fund increased 42.62 percent for the year before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 34.42 percent. In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (Europe, Australia, Far East - the index that generally reflects the performance of the international securities markets) increased 57.54 percent during the year, and the Lipper International Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar objectives) increased 53.37 percent. It should be noted that in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index during the last 12 months?
Our stock selection, which lagged the benchmark return, negatively impacted performance for the last 12 months, as did an underweight in Japan. In addition, we did not participate in the broad high-beta (lower quality) stock rally, preferring instead to focus on what we saw as well-managed companies with undervalued assets.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
During several periods of 2003, the Japanese stock index outperformed other major markets, in anticipation of global reflation. Still, we believe there has been little progress on structural financial reform in Japan and that serious risks remain. As a result, we underweighted this market during the last 12 months.

Early in the fiscal year, we increased our equity exposure as broad market sentiment improved, but we chose to maintain our preference for what we saw as well-managed and undervalued companies in healthy sectors rather than join the high-beta trend that was initially driving stock prices higher.

Late in the period, we trimmed exposure to emerging markets and the financial and technology sectors due to high valuations.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
In our view, production trends continue to benefit from low inventories in many sectors and a technology replacement cycle. We have continued to emphasize companies in Continental Europe that we believe benefit from the global recovery, especially export companies that we feel enjoy a solid competitive position. In Britain, we originally focused on stocks that we felt benefited from the relatively strong domestic economy, but have cautiously trimmed our holdings because the country has now entered a modest interest-rate-increase cycle. Despite continuing imbalances within Japan's economy, we believe that strong regional export demand is beginning to translate into a better domestic economy. We have increased our exposure to domestic-demand related shares in Japan as deflationary forces appear to be less severe. Our Asian weights are moderate, concentrated on industry leaders that we believe should benefit from continued strong Chinese domestic demand. Globally, we have invested in a broad group of what we fe el are attractively priced industrial companies well-positioned for continued global growth. We remain alert to signs of over-leveraged households in several countries, especially those with recent housing booms sparked by extremely low interest rates.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund

March 31, 2004

The Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund is subadvised by Advantus Capital Management, Inc. The following is an interview with Christopher R. Sebald, portfolio manager of the Fund

As you likely know, the Advantus Mortgage Securities Fund merged into the Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Mortgage Securities Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund's Class A shares increased 4.68 percent for the year before the impact of sales load and, after the impact of sales load, decreased 1.34 percent. This compares with the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the mortgage-backed securities market), which increased 4.08 percent for the year, and the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 3.50 percent for the year. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

What factors affected performance relative to the benchmark index during the last 12 months?
Primarily, in relation to its index, the Fund was adversely affected by the impact of the Fund's sales load. However, on a positive note, during the last 12 months our diversified approach of investing in all segments of the mortgage markets provided better results than investing solely in the mortgage passthrough market. We feel that the performance of the Fund was benefited by this total mortgage market approach along with a focus on stable cash flows.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
The mortgage securities markets experienced one of the most tumultuous years on record, as interest rates were very volatile and prepayment rates skyrocketed. Interest rates fell to generational lows as the Federal Reserve warned the market about the perils of deflation, only to rise sharply in the second quarter of the period. Prepayment speeds then hit an all-time high again, eclipsing the previous record by over 40 percent. The mortgage-backed securities (MBS) index only slightly outperformed Treasuries over the year due in large part to this volatility. This was a disappointing result for the average mortgage-market investor, as other fixed-income sectors did so well. We believe our approach to managing the Fund was beneficial, as our securities did not prepay at nearly the speed of the generic securities that compose most of the market.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
Due to the historically low interest rates and record prepayment speeds on MBS over the last year, we focused our investing on securities that we felt were much less prone to prepayments. This included purchases of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) as well as specified pools in the MBS markets. In the CMBS market, we chose securities that we felt were seasoned and that provided greater credit enhancement than recently issued securities. In the ABS market, we focused on securities that were collateralized with manufactured-housing contracts. This sector performed extremely well after poor performance in the prior two years. In the specified pool market, we purchased passthrough securities backed by loans that we feel have unique characteristics and better prepayment profiles. All of these securities performed well in the low interest rate and high prepayment environment.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
During the period, we continued to add to our position in securities that we believe are more protected against rising prepayments. As interest rates fell, we benefited, as portfolio prepayments were lower than the benchmark. We continue to look for securities that we feel have better prepayment profiles in higher and lower interest rate environments. We think ABS spreads are at or near their all-time tights, and as a consequence we don't expect to add much in this sector. However, we continue to look for attractive investments in the manufactured housing sector.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund

March 31, 2004

An interview with Frederick Jiang, CFA, CPA, portfolio manager of Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
Class A shares of the Fund increased 66.38 percent for the year before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 56.81 percent. In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Asia Pacific Free (Excluding Japan) Index (the index that generally reflects the performance of the Asia Pacific securities markets) increased 64.69 percent during the year, and the Lipper Pacific Ex-Japan Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar objectives) increased 70.37 percent. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

What factors affected Fund performance during the last 12 months?
Performance was positively impacted by our stock and country selections. The Fund benefited from our selections in financial and consumer-discretionary stocks, as well as overweight positions in Hong Kong and India. In relation to the Fund's benchmark index, the Fund was adversely affected by the impact of the Fund's sales load.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
Early in 2003, global geopolitical concerns regarding the Iraq War triggered extreme global market volatility and risk aversion. At the same time, Asian consumer markets were shocked by an outbreak of SARS (atypical pneumonia) that depressed travel and retail sectors through July.

Government policy responses were, in our view, generally prompt and appropriate. Where possible, fiscal policy was tapped in an effort to create business demand or encourage business and consumer activity. Central banks continued to ease monetary policy during these difficult times, providing reassurance to global investors and helping to set the stage for an impressive global stock market rally that began in the second quarter of 2003. Asian markets rose swiftly, as they often do in the early stages of a global financial recovery.

By August, the global growth outlook had improved significantly. Both the United States and China were growing above trend, creating enormous global export demand. Several Asian countries also enjoyed stronger domestic demand, led by China. China benefited from an unprecedented increase in outsourcing demand, as production facilities were shifted to China in an effort to take advantage of that country's low labor costs. A capital spending replacement cycle further boosted global demand for technology equipment, much of it produced in Asia. Low interest rates and abundant credit fueled strong housing, auto and consumer spending in many countries, despite lagging job growth in most. Chinese deflation concerns were reduced late in the year as positive consumer price data were reported.

Late in the period, global investors grew more concerned about rising energy prices and the possibility of slower economic growth in China as the Chinese government sought to address areas of imbalance.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
We increased our equity exposure as broad market sentiment improved. Our initial focus was on companies that we felt benefited from reflation in China. The Fund particularly benefited from our selections in financials and consumer discretionary stocks, as well as our overweight positions in Hong Kong and India. We were overweight the information-technology sector but underweight telecommunication services and utilities.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
Although China's government policy was shifted slightly in late 2003 and March 2004 in an effort to slow some of the more speculative areas of the booming economy, we believe that regional growth in 2004 could potentially remain impressive. We are continuing to focus on what we see as reflation beneficiaries as well as high-end consumer discretionary stocks. In our view, production trends continue to benefit from low inventories in many sectors and a technology replacement cycle. We have continued to emphasize industry leaders that we believe benefit from the global recovery, especially export companies that enjoy a solid competitive position. We remain underweight in Australia, which is typically a more defensive market and less associated with the dynamic growth surrounding China. We remain alert to signs of over-leveraged households in South Korea and Taiwan, where recent consumer-credit increases were sparked by extremely low interest rates. We are also monitoring a heavy election schedule across Asia th is year.

We intend to remain flexible with our geographic and sector allocations, responding to future developments in global financial markets. In the current environment, we feel that sustainable U.S. economic growth remains the most important prerequisite for rising global equity markets. Intra-Asian trade has grown tremendously in recent years, but U.S. consumer spending power is, in our view, critical for the global economy. Over the longer term, we think U.S. employment growth is key. We believe that these critical U.S. macroeconomic issues will dictate the form and pace of global growth in 2004. If the U.S. dollar weakens significantly further, we anticipate a period of broad currency volatility that is typically associated with currency extremes.

The difficult business climate of the last few years has forced many foreign companies to accelerate restructuring efforts. This positive improvement should, in our view, be an important focus for investors as the broader economic and financial environment improves. We continue to believe that Pacific-region equity investments provide unique growth opportunities and important long-term portfolio diversification for our shareholders.

Please note that effective February 2004, Mr. Jiang became the portfolio manager of the Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund

March 31, 2004

The Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund is subadvised by Advantus Capital Management, Inc. The following is an interview with Joseph R. Betlej, portfolio manager of the Fund

As you likely know, the Advantus Real Estate Securities Fund merged into the Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Real Estate Securities Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
It was a strong year for real estate stocks as the benchmark index generated positive returns every month during the year, leading it to all time highs at the end of the reporting year. The Fund's Class A shares increased 54.77 percent for the year before the impact of sales load and, after the impact of sales load, increased 45.87 percent. This compares with the Wilshire Associates Real Estate Securities Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the real estate securities market), which increased 52.07 percent for the year, and the Lipper Real Estate Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 51.04 percent for the year. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

What factors affected performance relative to the benchmark index during the last 12 months?
Primarily, in relation to its index, the Fund was adversely affected by the impact of the Fund's sales load. On the positive side, the Fund had strong exposure to regional mall, outlet mall, and hotel stocks, which led performance within the benchmark for the year. Exposure to these property types grew throughout the year, benefiting performance. The retail names were recognized for earnings growth generated by the strong demand of high-quality retail tenants for the higher-productivity malls, which the publicly traded REITs continue to consolidate. Hotel stocks performed well as investors anticipated the improvement in the economy and the return of the business traveler. (It is generally in times of revenue acceleration that excess performance is found in hotel stocks.) The portfolio holdings in hotel companies were increased in an effort to take advantage of this trend, but only after the first leg of outperformance had taken place, which slightly reduced the benefit to the portfolio. In addition, an under weight to large-capitalization companies muted performance in the final quarter of the period. However, the Fund benefited from its exposure to property types not included in the benchmark, including homebuilders, health care property REITs and commercial mortgage REITs. These companies benefited due in large part to the positive operating environment generated for these companies in the low-interest rate environment.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
While fundamentals of occupancy and rental rates for many property types continued to decline throughout the year, real estate stocks performed very well. We believe that much of the stocks' upward moves were generated by investors concerned about the direction of the economy and seeking the higher income often delivered by REIT stocks. Additionally, improving values of underlying real estate helped to prompt stock price appreciation.

Larger-capitalization real estate companies showed relatively weak performance for the first half of the year, while rebounding strongly in the last quarter as strong funds flow continued to these stocks. Both mutual funds and closed-end income funds continued to attract a high investor dollar flow, helping to drive these more liquid stocks in the group. As noted above, an underweight to large-capitalization companies muted performance in the latest quarter. Additionally, it appeared that improvements in the economy would drive higher the stock prices of real estate companies with above average growth rates in cash flow. Portfolio holdings were increased for companies with this characteristic, benefiting the Fund.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
In our view, it did not pay to be early on the potential rebound in office and apartment companies. The portfolio reflected the expectation that the office markets would reflect a more muted return to stabilization, extending over a longer period of time. Our underweight in these groups enhanced performance as these stocks continued to reflect the weak results generated from their underlying properties.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
Retail names were emphasized in the portfolio last year due to their strong supply-and-demand characteristics. Additionally, these companies were helped by an aggressive consumer who had benefited from tax refunds and mortgage refinances. The lower interest rates also provided opportunities for homebuilders to take tenants from apartments. This trend, coupled with increasing apartment supply, resulted in exposure to apartments being held at a low percentage relative to the benchmark index during the year.

In the coming year, we believe that hotel and apartment companies will benefit due to their leverage to the upturn in the economy, and particularly growth in the job market. In our view, retail companies will continue to perform well as high quality tenants continue to demand new space for expansion of their concepts. We believe that the exception here is with grocers, as we feel that their business is becoming increasingly competitive, depending on scale. Centers anchored by weaker grocery stores may face tough times in our opinion.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy Small Cap Value Fund

March 31, 2004

The Ivy Small Cap Value Fund is subadvised by State Street Research & Management Company. The following is an interview with Paul E.Haagensen, CFA, and Caroline C.Evascu*, CFA, portfolio managers of the Fund

As you likely know, the Advantus Venture Fund merged into the Ivy Small Cap Value Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Venture Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Small Cap Value Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Small Cap Value Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund did very well on an absolute basis during the period. The Class A shares of the Fund increased 68.89 percent for the year before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 59.18 percent. In comparison, the Russell 2000 Value Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the small companies value sector of the stock market) increased 64.53 percent for the year, and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 60.06 percent for the same period. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

What factors affected performance during the last 12 months?
An underweight exposure to the financial services sector, an overweight exposure to the producer-durables sector and strong stock selection in the autos & transportation sector helped drive the Fund's performance for this period. Conversely, stock selection in both the consumer-discretionary and other-energy sectors modestly detracted from relative returns. In absolute terms, however, stocks in those sectors increased significantly. In relation to its index, the Fund was adversely affected by the impact of the Fund's sales load.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
As a result of our value-based investment process, which focuses on stock-by-stock research and bottom-up portfolio construction, the Fund held many companies leveraged to an overall economic recovery. As the year progressed, and the robustness of the economic recovery became apparent, investors began to reward those companies that stood to benefit from sustained consumer spending and increased industrial activity. This cyclical tilt modestly detracted from returns in the first three months of 2004 as investors reversed course and started to favor more defensive stocks.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected performance during the last 12 months?
Our investment process focuses on finding companies based on our stock-by-stock, research-intensive investment process. We select the companies that we feel present the greatest opportunity relative to their valuations. We do not attempt to add value through top-down decisions or macroeconomic analysis.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
Generally speaking, our bottom-up portfolio construction process resulted in a portfolio with a tilt toward economically sensitive sectors such as producer durables, materials & processing and consumer discretionary. Conversely, the Fund had significant underweight allocations to financial services. Going forward, we intend to continue our value-based investment process as we search for new investment opportunities in the year ahead.

Please note that the Fund's previous portfolio manager, John F. Burbank, retired in January 2004.

*Please note that, effective May 31,2004, Caroline C. Evascu is no longer with State Street Research & Management Company.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Value Fund

March 31, 2004

An interview with Matthew T. Norris, CFA, portfolio manager of Ivy Value Fund

As you likely know, the Advantus Cornerstone Fund merged into the Ivy Value Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Cornerstone Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Value Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Value Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

How did the Fund perform during the last 12 months?
The Fund showed a strong return, but underperformed its benchmark index for the year. The Class A shares of the Fund increased 36.55 percent during the period before the impact of sales load, and, after the impact of sales load, increased 28.69 percent. In comparison, the Russell 1000 Value Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the value sector of the stock market) increased 40.81 percent during the period, and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), increased 38.29 percent. It should be noted that, in the comparison charts, the value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the sales load at the time of the investment, while the values for the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect a sales load.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index during the last 12 months?
We believe the Fund lagged its benchmark during the period for two major reasons. First, the Fund held a cash position during the market rally, which held back total portfolio returns. Second, the rally was led by lower-quality companies, which had underperformed notably over the previous two years. The Fund's portfolio typically has a higher-quality bias, and therefore it missed out on some of the gains. However, we strongly feel that this focus on quality will serve us well over time.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the last 12 months?
The 12-month period ended March 31, 2004 featured a strong rebound in the equity markets after three years of negative performance. The Russell 1000 Value index, the Fund's primary benchmark, showed a very strong return for the time period. In general, higher growth areas, including technology and industrials, led the market upward, while more stable areas such as health care and telecommunications lagged.

The equity market recovery was driven in part by a pickup in economic activity and company earnings. The economic pickup in turn was largely driven by traditional methods of stimulus: federal spending, tax cuts and lower interest rates. We believe the key for continued upward equity performance is whether or not the stimulus has produced a sustainable economic recovery. If, alternatively, the cessation of various stimulatory practices leaves the economy to fade back down, then in our view equity market performance will be unlikely to show continuing gains.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?
The Fund typically sells names that reach our price targets, and recently these have been in the more economically sensitive areas of the market. New value ideas are increasingly coming from defensive areas.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the last 12 months, and what looks attractive to you going forward?
The Fund is currently overweighted in industrials, health care and energy, while we have reduced holdings in technology and consumer discretionary. Going forward, we do not anticipate any changes in the management philosophy of the portfolio. We continue to search diligently, one company at a time, for names that we think offer good value investment opportunities. We continue to believe this is the best way to achieve strong, consistent returns over a full market cycle.

Please note that Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company began managing the Fund on May 1, 2003. The Fund was previously managed by Advantus Capital Management, Inc.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Ivy Funds (formerly Ivy Fund) (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 21, 1983 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust issues fifteen series of capital shares; each series represents ownership of a separate mutual fund ("Fund"). Ivy Balanced Fund, Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy Cash Reserves Fund, Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund, Ivy Dividend Income Fund, Ivy European Opportunities Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy International Fund, Ivy International Balanced Fund, Ivy International Value Fund, Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund, Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund, Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund, Ivy Small Cap Value Fund and Ivy Value Fund (the "Funds") are those mutual funds. The assets belonging to each Fund are held separately by the custodian. The capital shares of each Fund represent a pro rata beneficial interest in the principal, ne t income and realized and unrealized capital gains or losses of its respective investments and other assets. Effective for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2004, the Trust changed its fiscal year end for both financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes to March 31 from December 31. Those funds that were formerly Advantus funds (Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund, Ivy Small Cap Value Fund and Ivy Value Fund) and that had a July 31 year end have also changed to March 31 for both financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes; those funds that were formerly Advantus funds (Ivy Balanced Fund, Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy International Balanced Fund and Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund) and that had a September 30 year end have changed to March 31 for both financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generall y accepted in the United States of America.

A. Security valuation - Each stock and convertible bond is valued at the latest sale price thereof on each business day of the fiscal period as reported by the principal securities exchange on which the issue is traded or, if no sale is reported for a stock, the average of the latest bid and asked prices. Bonds, other than convertible bonds, are valued using a pricing system provided by a pricing service or dealer in bonds. Convertible bonds are valued using this pricing system only on days when there is no sale reported. Stocks which are traded over-the-counter are priced using the Nasdaq Stock Market, which provides information on bid and asked prices quoted by major dealers in such stocks. Restricted securities and securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximate s market value. Short-term debt securities denominated in foreign currencies are valued at amortized cost in that currency. See Note 1C.

B. Security transactions and related investment income - Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Premium and discount on the purchase of bonds are amortized for both financial and tax reporting purposes over the remaining lives of the bonds. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. See Note 3 - Investment Securities Transactions.

C. Foreign currency translations - All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars daily. Purchases and sales of investment securities and accruals of income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. For assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translation arise from changes in currency exchange rates. The Trust combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in market value when computing net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

D. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts - A forward foreign currency exchange contract (Forward Contract) is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a fixed price. Forward Contracts are "marked-to-market" daily at the applicable translation rates and the resulting unrealized gains or losses are reflected in the Trust's financial statements. Gains or losses are realized by the Trust at the time the forward contract is extinguished. Contracts may be extinguished either by entry into a closing transaction or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise from the possibility that the other party will not complete the obligations of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the United States dollar. The Trust uses forward contracts to attempt to reduce the overall risk of its investments.

E. Federal income taxes - It is the Trust's policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Trust intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of excise tax. Accordingly, provision has not been made for Federal income taxes. See Note 4 - Federal Income Tax Matters.

F. Dividends and distributions - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the business day following record date. Net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as deferral of wash sales and post-October losses, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and expiring capital loss carryovers. At March 31, 2004, the following amounts were reclassified:

	Accumulated Realized Capital Gains					Capital Paid-in

Ivy Dividend Income Fund	$	(3,849	)	$	4,054	$	(205	)
Ivy European Opportunities Fund		(316,042	)		559,203		(243,161	)
Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund		(142,029	)		776,718		(634,689	)
Ivy International Fund		-			149,226		(149,226	)
Ivy International Value Fund		-			95,316		(95,316	)
Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund		116,211			192,920		(309,131	)
Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund		422,527			- -		(422,527	)
Ivy Small Cap Value Fund		(357,401	)		380,716		(23,315	)
Ivy Value Fund		40,003			- -		(40,003	)

G. Repurchase agreements - Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the value of the resold securities which, during the entire period of the agreement, remains at least equal to the value of the loan, including accrued interest thereon. The collateral for the repurchase agreement is held by the Trust's custodian bank.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These fees are accrued daily and are paid monthly. However, WRIICO has voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee for Ivy Dividend Income Fund on any day that the Fund's net assets are less than $25 million, subject to WRIICO's right to change or modify this waiver. During the fiscal period ended March 31, 2004, WRIICO waived $24,640 of its fee.

Mackenzie Financial Corporation ("MFC") serves as the investment adviser for Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund and is responsible for selecting the Fund's portfolio investments.

The current Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust on behalf of Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund and MFC lapsed on February 28, 2003 due to an administrative error that was not discovered until late in 2003. Consequently, the Board of Trustees of Ivy Funds has considered actions to correct this error and has approved, and has taken action to recommend that shareholders of the Fund approve, a new investment management agreement with WRIICO and a new sub-advisory agreement with MFC at a meeting of shareholders expected to be held this summer. The Board of Trustees has also authorized, and taken action to recommend that shareholders of the Fund authorize, the retention and payment of fees paid or payab le to MFC for investment advisory services rendered from March 1, 2003 through the effective date of the new sub-advisory agreement. The Fund has not paid any fees to MFC under the terminated Investment Advisory Agreement for periods after March 31, 2003. A proxy statement relating to these proposals is expected to be mailed to shareholders of the Fund in June 2004.

Peter Cundill & Associates, Inc. serves as subadvisor to Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund under an agreement with WRIICO and receives a fee that is equal to, on an annual basis, 0.50% of the Fund's average net assets.

Henderson Global Investors (North America) Inc. ("HGINA") serves as subadvisor to Ivy European Opportunities Fund under an agreement with WRIICO.

Pursuant to a Master Fund Accounting Services Agreement, WRIICO provides certain accounting and pricing services for each Fund. As of March 18, 2003, WRIICO assigned its responsibilities under the Accounting Services Agreement to Waddell & Reed Services Company ("WRSCO"), an indirect subsidiary of WDR. For these services, each Fund pays WRSCO a monthly fee of one-twelfth of the annual fee shown in the following table.



Average Net Asset Level (in millions)					Annual Fee Rate for Each Level

From	$	0 to	$	10		$	0
From	$	10 to	$	25		$	11,500
From	$	25 to	$	50		$	23,100
From	$	50 to	$	100		$	35,500
From	$	100 to	$	200		$	48,400
From	$	200 to	$	350		$	63,200
From	$	350 to	$	550		$	82,500
From	$	550 to	$	750		$	96,300
From	$	750 to	$	1,000		$	121,600
	$	1,000 and Over				$	148,500

In addition, for each class of shares in excess of one, each Fund pays WRSCO a monthly per-class fee equal to 2.5% of the monthly accounting services base fee.

Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Advisor Class shares, for each shareholder account that was in existence at any time during the prior month: Ivy Balanced Fund, Ivy Dividend Income Fund, Ivy International Balanced Fund, Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund, Ivy Small Cap Value Fund and Ivy Value Fund pays WRSCO a monthly fee of $1.5792; Ivy Bond Fund and Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund pays WRSCO a monthly fee of $1.6958; and Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund, Ivy European Opportunities Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy International Fund, Ivy International Value Fund, and Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund each pay the Agent a monthly fee of $1.5042. Ivy Cash Reserves Fund pays the Agent a monthly fee of $1.75 for each shareholder account that was in existence at any time during the prior month plus, for Class A shareholder accounts, $0.75 for each shareholder check processed in the prior month. For Class Y shares, each Fund pays the Agent a monthl y fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. Each Fund also reimburses WRSCO for certain out-of-pocket costs for all classes. Certain broker-dealers that maintain shareholder accounts with each Fund through an omnibus account provide transfer agent and other shareholder-related services that would otherwise be provided by WRSCO if the individual accounts that comprise the omnibus account were opened by their beneficial owners directly. WRSCO pays such broker-dealers a per account fee for each open account within the omnibus account, or a fixed rate (e.g., 0.10%) fee, based on the average daily net asset value of the omnibus account (or a combination thereof).

Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, WRIICO provides certain administrative services to each Fund. The administrative fee for each Fund is a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.01% of each Fund's average daily net assets.

Outside of providing administrative services to the Trust, as described above, WRIICO may also act on behalf of Ivy Funds Distributor, Inc. ("IFDI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WRIICO, in paying commissions to broker-dealers with respect to sales of shares of each Fund.

As principal underwriter for the Trust's shares, IFDI receives sales commissions (which are not an expense of the Trust) for Class A shares. A contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") may be assessed against a shareholder's redemption amount of Class B, Class C or certain Class A shares and is paid to IFDI. During the period ended March 31, 2004, IFDI received the following amounts in sales commissions and deferred sales charges:

Under a Distribution and Service Plan for Class A shares adopted by the Trust pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, each Fund (except for Ivy Cash Reserves Fund) may pay a distribution and/or service fee to IFDI in an amount not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average annual net assets. The fee is to be paid to reimburse IFDI for amounts it expends in connection with the distribution of the Class A shares and/or provision of personal services to Fund shareholders and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.

The Class B Plan and the Class C Plan each permit IFDI to receive compensation, through the distribution fee and service fee, respectively, for its distribution activities for that class, which are similar to the distribution activities described with respect to the Class A Plan, and for its activities in providing personal services to shareholders of that class and/or maintaining shareholder accounts of that class, which are similar to the corresponding activities for which it is entitled to compensation under the Class A Plan.

NOTE 6 - Options

Options purchased by a Fund are accounted for in the same manner as marketable portfolio securities. The cost of portfolio securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premium paid to purchase the call. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premium paid to purchase the put.

When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current market value of the option written. The current market value of an option is the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded or, in the absence of transactions, the mean between the bid and asked prices or at a value supplied by a broker-dealer. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the call option was sold) and the liability related to such option is extinguished. When a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. For each Fund, when a written put is exercised, the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund is reduced by the amount of the premium received.

For Ivy Value Fund, transactions in call options written were as follows:



Outstanding at July 31, 2003	- -		$	- -
Options written	853			56,979

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Trustees and
Shareholders of Ivy Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Balanced Fund, Bond Fund, Cash Reserves Fund, Cundill Global Value Fund, Dividend Income Fund, European Opportunities Fund, Global Natural Resources Fund, International Fund, International Balanced Fund, International Value Fund, Mortgage Securities Fund, Pacific Opportunities Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Value Fund (collectively the "Funds") comprising Ivy Funds, as of March 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations for the fiscal period then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the periods presented (except as noted below). These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial statements and the financial highlights of the Re al Estate Securities Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Value Fund for each of the periods presented in the five-year period ended July 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated September 5, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights. The financial statements and the financial highlights of the Balanced Fund, Bond Fund, International Balanced Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund for each of the periods presented in the five-year period ended September 30, 2003 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 7, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights. The financial highlights of the Cash Reserves Fund, Cundill Global Value Fund, European Opportunities Fund, Global Natural Resources Fund, International Fund, International Value Fund and Pacific Opportunities Fund for each of the periods presented in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors whose rep ort, dated February 8, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Funds of Ivy Funds as of March 31, 2004, the results of their operations for the fiscal year then ended, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the periods presented (except as noted above), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
