Re: | Withdrawal of Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement; |
Ivy Funds (Registrant) File No. 333-172671 / CIK #883622
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), Ivy Funds (“Trust”) hereby requests the withdrawal of the Trust’s Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form N-14, (File No. 333-172671), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2014 (Accession No. 0001193125-14-026499) (“Amendment”).
The Trust is withdrawing the Amendment because it was mistakenly submitted under the incorrect file number. The Trust filed a new Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form N-14 under the correct file number (File No. 333-192918) on January 30, 2014 (Accession No. 0001193125-14-028257).
If you have any questions or comments concerning the foregoing, please contact me at 913-236-2432.
Very Truly Yours, |
