PRESIDENT’S LETTER IVY FUNDS

	SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED)
Philip J. Sanders, CFA

Dear Shareholder,

Equity markets roared back following the sharp correction atyear-end 2018, with the S&P 500 Index advancing more than 20% in 2019, as of Sept. 30, and every sector posting gains. The rally had apro-cyclical component, as information technology and real estate delivered the strongest sector returns, while energy and health care were the laggards.

The U.S. economy remains relatively healthy and remains in the longest economic expansion in U.S. history despite uncertainty about trade and signs of global weakening. We believe the underlying fundamentals — a strong job market, rising wages and low inflation — support continued growth during the rest of 2019. However, U.S. trade policy remains a wildcard and poses a major threat to the current expansion.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) held steady on interest rates for the first half of 2019, but cut the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in July and then again in September. The federal funds target range currently is1.75-2.0%. Increasing pressures from trade turmoil and uncertainty around the strength of global growth led the Fed to become more accommodative, and we believe one additional rate cut is likely by calendar year’s end.

The pace of economic growth in Europe has weakened during the period, mainly due to the drag of global trade and Brexit uncertainty. We anticipate eurozone growth will remain weak through the rest of the year, but could see some stabilization by the end of 2019. The European Central Bank introduced a broad stimulus package in September, including lower rates, a reboot of quantitative easing and a commitment to maintain these initiatives until inflation moves toward its target of just below 2%. With core inflation currently around 1%, we expect these policies to be in place for at least the next year or two.

Emerging markets faced multiple headwinds over the period, namely a strong dollar, China’s focus on deleveraging and regulation, trade wars, volatile energy prices and increased geopolitical risks. Despite near-term concerns and likely volatility across the global equity market, we believe the long-term fundamentals in emerging markets will continue to offer opportunities. By comparison, U.S. equities broadly have benefitted from a more attractive growth rate, which was the result of tax reform, lower regulatory pressures and repatriation of overseas earnings.

Looking ahead, we believe equities face intensifying headwinds as the pace of global growth slows and trade turmoil lingers. As we examine the investment landscape, we continue to put greater emphasis on the fundamentals and quality of asset classes and sectors. We believe it is important to stay focused on the merits of individual market sectors, industries and companies when making investment decisions. Those fundamentals historically have tended to outweigh external factors such as government policies and regulations. While those can affect every business and every investor, we think the innovation and management skill within individual companies are the ultimate drivers of long-term stock prices.

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 3

ILLUSTRATION OF FUND EXPENSES IVY FUNDS

(UNAUDITED)

Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, exchange fees and account fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees, and other Fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for thesix-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Actual Expenses

The first section in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each share class. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There may be additional fees charged to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. Fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), IRA Rollovers, Roth IRAs, Conversion Roth IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRAs,Tax-Sheltered Accounts (TSAs), Keogh Plans, Owner Only 401(k) (Exclusive K) Plans and Final Pay Plans. As of the close of the six months covered by the table, a customer is charged an annual fee of $18 within each plan type. This fee is waived for IRA Rollovers and Conversion Roth IRAs if the customer owns another type of IRA. Coverdell Education Savings Account plans are charged an annual fee of $10 per customer. With limited exceptions,

for Class A shares, if your Fund account balance is below $650 on the Friday prior to the last full week of September of each year, the account will be assessed an account fee of $20. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over thesix-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value as such additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the following table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for each share class based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of five percent per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this five percent hypothetical example with the five percent hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), exchange fees or account fees. Therefore, the second section in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses paid may be impacted by expense reduction arrangements. If those arrangements had not been in place, expenses paid would have been higher. See Note 6 in Notes to Financial Statements for further information.

* Fund expenses for each share class are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 days in thesix-month period ended September 30, 2019, and divided by 365.

** These class shares are not available for direct investment. However, they are available for dividend reinvestment and exchange of the same class shares of another Ivy Fund.

*** Class share is closed to investment.

(1) This section uses the Fund’s actual total return and actual Fund expenses. It is a guide to the actual expenses paid by the Fund in the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is computed using the Fund’s actual return and the “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. A shareholder may use the information here, together with the dollar amount invested, to estimate the expenses that were paid over the period. For every thousand dollars a shareholder has invested, the expenses are listed in the last column of this section.

(2) This section uses a hypothetical five percent annual return and actual Fund expenses. It helps to compare the Fund’s ongoing costs with other mutual funds. A shareholder can compare the Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

The above illustrations are based on ongoing costs only and do not include any transactional costs, such as sales loads or exchange fees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATMENTS IVY FUNDS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION

Ivy Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. Ivy Asset Strategy Fund, Ivy Balanced Fund, Ivy Energy Fund, Ivy LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund, Ivy Natural Resources Fund, Ivy Science and Technology Fund and Ivy Securian Real Estate Securities Fund (each, a “Fund”) are seven series of the Trust and are the only series of the Trust included in these financial statements. The investment objective(s), policies and risk factors of each Fund are described more fully in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). Each Fund’s investment manager is Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO” or the “Manager”).

Each Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class N, Class Y, and Class R shares. The Funds’ Class B shares are not available for purchase by new and existing investors. Class B shares will continue to be available for dividend reinvestment and exchanges from Class B shares of another fund within Ivy Funds. Certain Funds may also offer Class E shares. Class E shares are closed for all investments in the Ivy Balanced Fund and Ivy Energy Fund. Class A and Class E shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value (“NAV”) plus afront-end sales charge. For Class A shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) is only imposed on shares purchased at NAV for $1 million or more that are subsequently redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold without afront-end sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC. Class I, Class N, Class R and Class Y shares are sold without either afront-end sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Net investment income, net assets and NAV per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer agent and shareholder servicing fees, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C, E, R and Y have a distribution and service plan. Class I shares and Class N shares are not included in the plan. With certain exceptions described in the Prospectus, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 96 months after the date of purchase. With certain exceptions described in the Prospectus, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 120 months after the date of purchase.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income.Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where theex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of theex-dividend date. All or a portion of the distributions received from a real estate investment trust or publicly traded partnership may be designated as a reduction of cost of the related investment or realized gain.

Foreign Currency Translation.Each Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars daily, using foreign exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). 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. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Foreign exchange rates are typically valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses.Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Income Taxes.It is the policy of each Fund to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, each Fund intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of excise tax. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes. The Funds file income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax returns. Management of the Trust periodically reviews all tax positions to assess whether it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authority based on the technical merits of each position. As of the date of these financial statements, management believes that no liability for unrecognized tax positions is required.

54 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.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 (“U.S. GAAP”). If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceed net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes.

Segregation and Collateralization.In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the interpretive rules and regulations of the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission require that a Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, securities with extended settlement periods, and swaps), the Fund will segregate collateral or designate on its books and records, cash or other liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount that is required to be physically segregated for the benefit of the counterparty. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit cash or securities as collateral for certain investments. Certain countries require that cash reserves be held while investing in companies incorporated in that country. These cash reserves and cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Restricted cash”. Securities collateral pledged for the same purpose, if any, is noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Concentration of Market and Credit Risk. In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded on the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

Certain Funds may hold high-yield ornon-investment-grade bonds, that may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Funds may acquire securities in default and are not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default.

Certain Funds may enter into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may haveoff-balance sheet market risk.Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in financial derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.

The London Interbank Offered Rate “LIBOR” is an indicative measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks could borrow from one another. LIBOR is quoted in multiple currencies and multiple time frames using data reported by private-sector banks. LIBOR is used extensively in the United States and globally as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds and loans, floating rate mortgages, asset-backed securities, consumer loans, and interest rate swaps and other derivatives.

It is expected that a number of private-sector banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR will stop doing so after 2021 when their current reporting commitment ends, which could either cause LIBOR to stop publication immediately or cause LIBOR’s regulator to determine that its quality has degraded to the degree that it is no longer representative of its underlying market.

Management believes that, with respect to any significant investments by the Funds in instruments linked to LIBOR, the impact on investments and discontinuation of LIBOR may represent a significant risk.

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 55

However, management acknowledges that the anticipated transition away from LIBOR will occur after 2021 and certain of the current investments will mature prior to that time. Furthermore, the ways in which LIBOR’s discontinuation potentially could impact the Funds’ investments is not fully known. The extent of that impact may vary depending on various factors, which include, but are not limited to: (i) existing fallback or termination provisions in individual contracts and (ii) whether, how, and when industry participants develop and adopt new successor reference rates and/or fallbacks for both legacy and new instruments.

In addition, the transition to a successor rate could potentially cause (i) increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR, (ii) a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by a Fund, or (iii) reduced effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedging.

As the impacts of the transition become clearer during the next year, Management will be evaluating the impacts of these changes.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds.Certain Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Interest Only Obligations.These securities entitle the owner to receive only the interest portion from a bond, Treasury note or pool of mortgages. These securities are generally created by a third party separating a bond or pool of mortgages into distinct interest-only and principal-only securities. As the principal (par) amount of a bond or pool of mortgages is paid down, the amount of interest income earned by the owner will decline as well.

Loans.Certain Funds may invest in loans, the interest rates of which float or adjust periodically based upon a specified adjustment schedule, benchmark indicator, or prevailing interest rates, the debtor of which may be a domestic or foreign corporation, partnership or other entity (“Borrower”). Loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically redetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates generally include prime rates of one or more major U.S. banks, the LIBOR or certificates of deposit rates. Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the Borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which Borrowers repay cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities. Loans are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may contain certain restrictions on resale, and cannot be sold publicly. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties.

When a Fund purchases assignments, it acquires all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement of the assigning lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than those held by the assigning lender. When a Fund purchases a participation of a loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation. A participation interest in loans includes the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the lender and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the Borrower, but not from the Borrower directly. When investing in a participation interest, if a Borrower is unable to meet its obligations under a loan agreement, a Fund generally has no direct right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant, and any other persons that are interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower. If the lead lender in a typical lending syndicate becomes insolvent, enters Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) receivership or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in receiving payment or may suffer a loss of principal and interest.

PaymentIn-Kind Securities.Certain Funds may invest in paymentin-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in cash or in additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require apro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis.Certain Funds may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by a Fund on a when-issued basis normally take place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The

56 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of a Fund’s NAV to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When a Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield IICO, or the Fund’s investment subadviser, as applicable, consider advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis prior to settlement of the original purchase.

Custodian Fees.“Custodian fees” on the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by a Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. A Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by that Fund. The “Earnings credit” line item, if shown, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by that Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Indemnification.The Trust’s organizational documents provide current and former Trustees and Officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Basis of Preparation.Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (“ASC 946”). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including but not limited to ASC 946. U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.

Subsequent Events. Management has performed a review for subsequent events through the date this report was issued.

3. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Each Fund’s investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an asset or would pay upon satisfying a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Each Fund calculates the NAV of its shares as of the close of the NYSE, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.

For purposes of calculating the NAV, the portfolio securities and financial instruments are valued on each business day using pricing and valuation methods as adopted by the Board. Where market quotes are readily available, fair value is generally determined on the basis of the last reported sales price, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services.

Prices for fixed-income securities are typically based on quotes that are obtained from an independent pricing service approved by the Board. To determine values of fixed-income securities, the independent pricing service utilizes such factors as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other yield and risk factors it deems relevant in determining valuations. Securities that cannot be valued by the independent pricing service may be valued using quotes obtained from dealers that make markets in the securities.

Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued based on quotes that are obtained from an independent pricing service approved by the Board as described in the preceding paragraph above.

Because many foreign markets close before the NYSE, events may occur between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE that could have a material impact on the valuation of foreign securities. Waddell & Reed Services Company (“WRSCO”), pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, evaluates the impact of these events and may adjust the valuation of foreign securities to reflect the fair value as of the close of the NYSE. In addition, all securities for which values are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are appraised at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Board.

Where market quotes are not readily available, portfolio securities or financial instruments are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board or Valuation Committee pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or financial instruments. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available.

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 57

The Board has delegated to WRSCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or financial instruments and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or financial instruments should bere-evaluated in light of such significant events. IICO, pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, has established a Valuation Committee to administer and oversee the valuation process, including the use of third party pricing vendors.

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and financial instruments in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. For instances in which daily market quotes are not readily available, investments may be valued, pursuant to procedures established by the Board, with reference to other securities or indices. In the event that the security or financial instrument cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the value of the security or financial instrument will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Board.

When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods applied by WRSCO that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Board or persons acting at its direction believe accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that will ultimately be realized at the time the securities are sold.

WRSCO is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the pricing and valuation policies through a series of activities to provide reasonable comfort of the accuracy of prices including: 1) periodic vendor due diligence meetings to review methodologies, new developments, and process at vendors, 2) daily and monthly multi-source pricing comparisons reviewed and submitted to the Valuation Committee, and 3) daily review of unpriced, stale, and variance reports with exceptions reviewed by management and the Valuation Committee.

Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

An individual investment’s fair value measurement is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

• Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices, available in active markets, for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at its direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities.The fair value of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are estimated using recently executed transactions and based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, the prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and otherwise they would be categorized as Level 3.

Bullion.The fair value of bullion is at the last settlement price at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate Bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds, as obtained from an independent pricing service, is estimated using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

58 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

Derivative Instruments. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the NYSE, which values are provided by an independent pricing service. Swaps derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs or a combination of these factors. Swaps are valued by an independent pricing service unless the price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at the price provided by a dealer in that security. Exchange-traded futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price. Listed options are ordinarily valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price for a comparable listed option provided by an independent pricing service unless the price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at a quotation obtained from a broker-dealer.Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are ordinarily valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price for a comparable listed option provided by an independent pricing service unless such a price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at a quotation obtained from a broker-dealer.

Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. OTC derivative contracts include forward foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities or equity prices.

Equity Securities. Equity securities traded on U.S. or foreign securities exchanges or included in a national market system are valued at the official closing price at the close of each business day unless otherwise stated below. OTC equity securities and listed securities for which no price is readily available are valued at the average of the last bid and ask prices.

Mutual funds, including investment funds, typically are valued at the NAV reported as of the valuation date.

Securities that are stated at the last reported sales price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded and to the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign securities, for which the primary trading market closes at the same time or after the NYSE, are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and categorized in Level 1. Because many foreign securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the NYSE, closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to theintra-day trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange-traded funds, and the movement of certain indices of securities based on a statistical analysis of their historical relationship; such valuations generally are categorized in Level 2.

Preferred stock, repurchase agreements, and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also generally categorized in Level 2.

Loans. Loans are valued using a price or composite price from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value of loans is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable market inputs obtained from independent sources. Loans are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable in which case they would be categorized as Level 3.

Municipal Bonds.Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models used by and obtained from an independent pricing service that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades,bid-wants lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Restricted Securities. Restricted securities that are deemed to be Rule 144A securities and illiquid, as well as restricted securities held innon-public entities, are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that significant inputs to valuation are unobservable, because they trade infrequently, if at all and, therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Restricted securities that are valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities may be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that the discount is considered to be insignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety; otherwise they may be categorized as Level 3.

U.S. Government and Agency Securities. U.S. government and agency securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. Accordingly, U.S. government and agency securities are normally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the liquidity and transparency of the market.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 occurred primarily due to the lack of observable market data due to decreased market activity or information for these securities. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occurred primarily due to the increased availability of observable market data due to increased market activity or information.

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 59

For fair valuations using unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and Level 3 reconciliation, if any, have been included in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

Net realized gain (loss) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation), shown on the reconciliation of Level 3 investments, if applicable, are included on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investments in unaffiliated and/or affiliated securities and in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in unaffiliated and/or affiliated securities, respectively. Additionally, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for all Level 3 investments still held as of September 30, 2019, if applicable, is included on the Statement of Operations in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in unaffiliated and/or affiliated securities.

4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS ($ amounts in thousands unless indicated otherwise)

The following disclosures contain information on why and how the Funds use derivative instruments, the associated risks of investing in derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial positions and results of operations.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.Certain Funds are authorized to enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Schedule of Investments. Forward contracts are valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates provided by an independent pricing service determined at the close of the NYSE. The resulting unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and on the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Risks to a Fund related to the use of such contracts include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund’s maximum loss will consist of the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts that is not collateralized.

Ivy Natural Resources Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).

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

When a 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 value of the option written. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or a 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 written call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or loss. When a written put is exercised, the cost basis of the instruments purchased by a Fund is reduced by the amount of the premium received.

Investments in options, whether purchased or written, involve certain risks. Writing put options and purchasing call options may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. With written options, there may be times when a Fund will be required to purchase or sell instruments to meet its obligation under the option contract where the required action is not beneficial to the Fund, due to unfavorable movement of the market price of the underlying instrument.

Option contracts can be traded on a regulated exchange or traded OTC. Unlike the trades on a regulated exchange where the clearinghouse guarantees the performances of both the buyer and the seller, to the extent a Fund enters into OTC option transactions with counterparties, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that counterparties to these OTC transactions will be unable to meet their obligations under the terms of the transaction.

Ivy Asset Strategy Fund and Ivy Science and Technology Fund purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease hedging exposure to underlying instruments (which include credit risk, equity risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, event risk and/or interest rate risk), increase exposure to various equity markets or certain sectors, gain exposure to or facilitate trading in certain securities and/or, in the case of options written, to generate returns from options premiums.

60 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

Swap Agreements. Certain Funds are authorized to invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in theover-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”). If the OTC swap entered is one of the swaps identified by a relevant regulator as a swap that is required to be cleared, then it will be cleared through a third party, known as a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (“centrally cleared swaps”).

Swaps are marked to market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made by the Fund are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Any upfront premiums paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, if any, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. An early termination payment received or made at an early termination or a final payment made at the maturity of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

After a centrally cleared swap is accepted for clearing, a Fund may be required to deposit initial margin with a Clearing Member in the form of cash or securities. Securities deposited as initial margin, if any, are designated on the Schedule of Investments. Cash deposited as initial margin is identified on the Schedule of Investments and is recorded as restricted cash on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Total return swaps involve a commitment of one party to pay periodic interest payments in exchange for a market-linked return based on a security or a basket of securities including a variety of securities or representing a particular index. To the extent the total return of the security, a basket of securities, or an index exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Ivy Asset Strategy Fund enters into total return swaps to hedge exposure to a security or market.

The creditworthiness of the counterparty with which a Fund enters into a swap agreement is monitored by IICO. If a counterparty creditworthiness declines, the value of the agreement would likely decline, potentially resulting in losses. If a default occurs by the counterparty to such a transaction, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction. The maximum loss a Fund may incur consists of the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts that is not collateralized due to facts specific to certain situations (i.e., collateral may not have been posted by the counterparty due to the required collateral amount being less than thepre-agreed thresholds. Additionally, regulatory developments called stay resolutions and the ensuing required contractual amendments to the transactional documentation, including derivatives, permit the relevant regulators to preclude parties to a transaction from terminating trades, among other rights it may have in the trade agreements should a counterparty that it regulates experience financial distress. A relevant regulator also has the authority to reduce the value of certain liabilities owed by the counterparty to a Fund and/or convert cash liabilities of a regulated entity into equity holdings. The power given to the relevant regulators includes the ability to amend transactional agreements unilaterally, modify the maturity of eligible liabilities, reduce the amount of interest payable or change the date on which interest becomes payable, among other powers.

To prevent incurring losses due to the counterparty credit risk, IICO actively monitors the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which it has entered financial transactions. IICO consistently and frequently risk manages the credit risk of the counterparties it faces in transactions.

Collateral and rights of offset. A Fund mitigates credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes (“CSA”) included with an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement which is the standard contract governing all OTC derivative transactions between the Fund and each of its counterparties. Although it is not possible to eliminate credit risk entirely, the CSA allows the Fund and its counterparty to reduce their exposure to the risk of payment default by the other party by holding an amount in collateral equivalent to the realized and unrealized amount of exposure to the counterparty, which is generally held by the Fund’s custodian. An amount of collateral is moved to/from applicable counterparties only if the amount of collateral required to be posted surpasses both the threshold and the minimum transfer amountpre-agreed in the CSA between the Fund and the counterparty. See Note 2 “Segregation and Collateralization” for additional information with respect to collateral practices.

5. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION OF THE IVY ASSET STRATEGY FUND

Ivy ASF II, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary acting as an investment vehicle for the Ivy Asset Strategy Fund (referred to as “the Fund” in this subsection). Ivy ASF III (SBP), LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, was incorporated as a wholly owned company acting as an investment vehicle for the Fund. The Subsidiary and the Company act as an investment vehicle for the Fund, in order to effect certain investments for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies as specified in its prospectus and SAI.

The Fund’s investment portfolio has been consolidated and includes the portfolio holdings of the Fund, its Subsidiary and the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the Company. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. A subscription agreement was entered into between the Fund and its Subsidiary and the Company comprising the entire issued share capital of the Subsidiary and the Company with the intent that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and retain all rights. Under the Articles of Association, shares issued by the Subsidiary and the Company confer upon a shareholder the right to receive notice of, to attend and to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and the Company and shall confer upon the shareholder rights in awinding-up or repayment of capital and the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary and the Company.

See the table below for details regarding the structure, incorporation and relationship as of September 30, 2019 of the Subsidiary and the Company to the Fund (amounts in thousands).

For Funds managed solely by IICO, IICO has voluntarily agreed to waive a Fund’s management fee on any day that the Fund’s net assets are less than $25 million, subject to IICO’s right to change or modify this waiver. See Expense Reimbursements and/or Waivers below for amounts waived during the period ended September 30, 2019.

IICO has entered into Subadvisory Agreements with the following entities on behalf of certain Funds:

Under an agreement between IICO and Securian Asset Management, Inc. (“Securian AM”), Securian AM serves as subadviser to Ivy Securian Real Estate Securities Fund. Under an agreement between IICO and LaSalle Investment Management Securities, LLC (“LaSalle”), LaSalle serves as subadviser to Ivy LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund. Each subadviser makes investment decisions in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions under the supervision of IICO and the oversight of the Board. IICO pays all applicable costs of the subadvisers.

Independent Trustees and Chief Compliance Officer Fees. Fees paid to the Independent Trustees can be paid in cash or deferred to a later date, at the election of the Trustees according to the Deferred Fee Agreement entered into between the Trust and the Trustee(s). Each Fund records its portion of the deferred fees as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. All fees paid in cash plus any appreciation (depreciation) in the underlying deferred plan are shown on the Statement of Operations. Additionally, fees paid to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Funds are shown on the Statement of Operations.

Accounting Services Fees.The Trust has an Accounting and Administrative Services Agreement with WRSCO, doing business as WI Services Company (“WISC”), an indirect subsidiary of WDR. Under the agreement, WISC acts as the agent in providing bookkeeping and accounting services and assistance to the Trust, including maintenance of Fund records, pricing of Fund shares and preparation of certain shareholder reports. For these services, each Fund pays WISC a monthly fee ofone-twelfth of the annual fee based on the average net asset levels shown in the following table:

(M - Millions)	$0 to $10M		$10 to $25M		$25 to $50M		$50 to $100M		$100 to $200M		$200 to $350M		$350 to $550M		$550 to $750M		$750 to $1,000M		Over $1,000M
Annual Fee Rate	$	0.00	$	11.50	$	23.10	$	35.50	$	48.40	$	63.20	$	82.50	$	96.30	$	121.60	$	148.50

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

Each Fund also pays WISC a monthly administrative fee at the annual rate of 0.01%, or one basis point, for the first $1 billion of net assets with no fee charged for net assets in excess of $1 billion. This fee is voluntarily waived by WISC until a Fund’s net assets are at least $10 million and is included in “Accounting services fee” on the Statement of Operations.

Shareholder Servicing. General. Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement between the Trust and WISC, with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class E shares, for each shareholder account that was in existence at any time during the prior month, each Fund pays a monthly fee that ranges from $1.5042 to $1.6958 per account; however, WISC has agreed to reduce that fee if the number of total shareholder accounts within the Complex (InvestEd Portfolios and Ivy Funds) reaches certain levels. For Class R shares, each Fund pays a monthly fee equal toone-twelfth of 0.25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. For Class I and Class Y shares, each Fund pays a monthly fee equal toone-twelfth of 0.15 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. For Class N shares, each Fund pays WISC a monthly fee equal toone-twelfth of 0.01 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. Each Fund also reimburses WISC for certainout-of-pocket costs for all classes.

Networked accounts. For certain networked accounts (that is, those accounts whose Fund shares are purchased through certain financial intermediaries), WISC has agreed to reduce its per account fees charged to the Funds to $0.50 per month per shareholder account. Additional fees may be paid by the Funds to those intermediaries. The Fund will reimburse WISC

64 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

for such costs if the annual rate of the third-party per account charges for a Fund are less than or equal to $12.00 per account or an annual fee of 0.14 of 1% that is based on average daily net assets.

Broker accounts. 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 WISC if the individual accounts that comprise the omnibus account were opened by their beneficial owners directly. Each Fund may pay such broker-dealers a per account fee for each open account within the omnibus account (up to $18.00 per account), or a fixed rate fee (up to an annual fee of 0.20 of 1% that is based on average daily net assets), based on the average daily NAV of the omnibus account (or a combination thereof).

Distribution and Service Plan. Class A and Class E Shares. Under a Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Trust pursuant to Rule 12b–1 under the 1940 Act (the “Distribution and Service Plan”), each Fund may pay a distribution and/or service fee to Ivy Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) for Class A and Class E shares in an amount not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund’s average annual net assets.

10. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES ($ amounts in thousands)

The Funds may lend their portfolio securities only to borrowers that are approved by the Fund’s securities lending agent, The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”). The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% of the market value for all other securities, except in the case of loans of foreign securities which are denominated and payable in U.S. Dollars, in which case the collateral is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund and any excess collateral is returned by the Fund on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does

68 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in the Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund — Institutional Shares or certain other registered money market funds and are disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments and are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral on securities loaned at value.Non-cash collateral, in the form of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, is not disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and the Fund does not have the ability tore-hypothecate these securities. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its Schedule of Investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of September 30, 2019 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending activity is disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

The following is a summary of each Fund’s securities lending positions and related cash andnon-cash collateral received as of September 30, 2019:

Fund	Market Value of Securities on Loan		Cash Collateral Received		Non-Cash Collateral Received		Total Collateral Received
Ivy Asset Strategy Fund	$	5,346	$	5,475	$	—	$	5,475
Ivy Balanced Fund		2,078		2,140		—		2,140
Ivy Energy Fund		2,251		2,334		—		2,334
Ivy Natural Resources Fund		1,483		1,518		—		1,518
Ivy Science and Technology Fund		75,283		49,869		27,138		77,007

The cash collateral received amounts presented in the table above are transactions accounted for as secured borrowings and have an overnight and continuous maturity. The proceeds from the cash collateral received is invested in registered money market funds.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower indemnity provided by BNYM. BNYM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent wherein BNYM will purchase the unreturned loaned securities on the open market by applying the proceeds of the collateral or to the extent such proceeds are insufficient or the collateral is unavailable, BNYM will purchase the unreturned loan securities at BNYM’s expense. However, the Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS IVY FUNDS (UNAUDITED)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Ivy Funds (the “Trust”) held on August 13^th and 14^th, 2019, the Board, including all of the trustees who are not “interested persons” (the “Independent Trustees”), as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO”) and the Trust, and the continuance of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements between IICO and:

• Apollo Credit Management, LLC (with respect to the Ivy Apollo Multi-Asset Income Fund and Ivy Apollo Strategic Income Fund)

• LaSalle Investment Management Securities, LLC and LaSalle Investment Management Securities B.V. (with respect to the Ivy LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund and the Ivy Apollo Multi-Asset Income Fund)

• Mackenzie Investments Europe Limited (Mackenzie Europe) and the investment sub-advisory agreement between Mackenzie Europe and Mackenzie Investments Asia Limited (with respect to the Ivy International Small Cap Fund)

• Pictet Asset Management Limited and Pictet Asset Management (Singapore) PTE Ltd. (with respect to the Ivy Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund and Pictet Asset Management SA (with respect to the Ivy Targeted Return Bond Fund)

• PineBridge Investments, LLC (with respect to the Ivy PineBridge High Yield Fund)

• ProShare Advisors, LLC (with respect to the Ivy ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index Fund, the Ivy ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers Index Fund, the Ivy ProShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Index Fund, the Ivy ProShares S&P 500 Bond Index Fund and the Ivy ProShares MSCI ACWI Index Fund)

• Pzena Investment Management, LLC (with respect to the Ivy Pzena International Value Fund)

• Securian Asset Management, Inc. (with respect to the Ivy Securian Core Bond Fund and the Ivy Securian Real Estate Securities Fund)

• Wilshire Associates Incorporated (with respect to the Ivy Wilshire Global Allocation Fund)

Each subadviser is referred to herein as a “Subadviser,” and the Management Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreements are referred to collectively herein as the “Agreements.”

The Board’s Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with such counsel separately from representatives of IICO and the Subadvisers. Independent legal counsel explained the factors that the Board should consider as part of its review of the Agreements, all as outlined in a memorandum it had provided to the Board prior to the meeting, including, among other things, the nature and the quality of the services provided by IICO and the Subadvisers, profitability (including anyfall-out benefits) from IICO’s and the Subadvisers’ relationships with each series of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”), economies of scale, the role played by the Independent Trustees, and information on comparative fees and expenses. The Independent Trustees also considered the written responses and materials produced by IICO and each Subadviser in response to 15(c) due diligence request lists submitted by the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel prior to the meeting, as well as materials produced in response to afollow-up request list sent to IICO by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees. Included in those responses, which had been provided to the Board prior to the meeting, was aFund-by-Fund profitability analysis prepared by IICO, as well as an explanation of the methodology by which the profitability analysis was calculated. The Board also received extensive materials on performance, expenses and comparable fund information from Broadridge, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent mutual fund rating service. Finally, the Independent Trustees received and reviewed a considerable amount of information that their independent fee consultant had provided to them. The Independent Trustees previously had reviewed and discussed these materials during a telephonic meeting in July 2019. They further reviewed these materials among themselves, with their independent legal counsel and the independent fee consultant, and with the other Board members at executive sessions of the Independent Trustees at the August13-14, 2019 Board meeting, during which the Board considered various factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s determination to approve the Agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by IICO and each Subadviser, taking into account the large amount of materials produced by IICO and the Subadvisers in response to the 15(c) due diligence requests submitted on its behalf by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.

The Board also took into account the report from its Investment Oversight Committee (the “IOC”), in light of that committee’s duties to assist the Board in the 15(c) process. The IOC had reported to the Board on its review of the performance of the Funds, IICO’s investment risk management function, and the changes IICO and its affiliates have been undertaking for the Trust and the overall fund complex. As such, the Board examined all of IICO’s activities in light of

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 75

performance and expense structure, as well as the overall rationalization of the fund complex (both completed and/or proposed), which is designed to provide economies of scale to the shareholders, reduce the Funds’ expenses and enhance the performance of the Funds, particularly in the context of substantial industry change and regulatory developments.

The Board likewise considered the knowledge it had received from its regular meetings, including from the materials provided in connection with those meetings, such as the resources and key personnel of IICO and each Subadviser, as well as the other services provided to the Funds by IICO and each Subadviser, as applicable (e.g., managing the quality of execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, producing reports, providing support services for the Board and its committees, communicating with shareholders and overseeing the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable laws and regulations). The Board also took into account the compliance environment at IICO and each Subadviser, noting the resources that each entity has dedicated towards compliance. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided by IICO and each Subadviser were appropriate, that the quality of those services had been consistent with quality norms in the industry and that the Funds were likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services.

Benefits from the Relationship with the Funds

The Board next discussed whether IICO or any Subadviser derives any other direct or indirect benefit from serving the Funds. In that regard, the Board discussed the transfer agency and shareholder servicing fees that Waddell & Reed Services Company (“WISC”), an affiliate of IICO, has provided to the Funds. The Board took note of the caps that management previously had agreed to on shareholder servicing costs. The Board also considered the benefits that accrue to each service provider organization from its respective relationship with the Funds, including the fact that a variety of services are provided by affiliates of IICO, including distribution, administrative and Fund accounting services, and, as discussed above, shareholder servicing. The Board also considered management’s proposal to outsource the transactional processing operations of WISC to asub-agent for the Funds, which is designed to achieve greater efficiencies and savings for Fund shareholders over time. After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that none of IICO, any Subadviser or any of their affiliates receives any additional direct or indirect benefits that would preclude the Board from approving the continuation of the Management Agreement with IICO or any Investment Subadvisory Agreement with a Subadviser.

Economies of Scale

The Board discussed whether economies of scale are being realized by the Funds and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders. The Board considered the fact that as a Fund’s assets have grown, the expenses of that Fund generally have fallen. Additionally, in that regard, the Board considered the various initiatives that IICO has undertaken to seek to rationalize the fund complex.

Performance of the Funds and Costs of Services Provided

The Board considered the performance of each Fund and the costs of the services provided, focusing in particular on a number of Funds that the independent fee consultant had identified. Specifically, the Board examined the investment performance of each Fund, including the percentile ranking of each Fund over various periods of time. The Board also examined the performance of each Fund against its respective benchmark index and peer funds for the same periods. After extensively reviewing all of the performance information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ performance in each asset class was acceptable. Although the performance of some of the focus Funds identified by the independent fee consultant lagged that of their peers or respective benchmark index, the Board recognized that IICO, or the applicable Subadviser, had taken, or was taking, steps to address that underperformance, and determined to continue to monitor closely the performance of those Funds.

The Board also considered the expenses and expense ratio of each Fund, and the expense limitation and fee reduction arrangements entered into by IICO in light of the services provided by IICO and each Subadviser. The Board also compared each Fund’s expenses, including advisory, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, with the expenses and advisory fees of other investment advisers managing similarly situated funds, as well as the advisory fees that IICO (or an affiliate) charges for providing advisory services to other accounts in the same asset class for certain Funds. In that regard, the Board noted that IICO performs significant additional services for the Funds as compared to those other accounts. The Board also took into account the information on IICO’s profitability in managing the Funds, including the methodology used to calculate profitability. The Board finally considered the amount of assets in each Fund, each Fund’s average account size and how those factors affect the Funds’ expense ratios, noting that, as the Funds’ assets have increased or decreased over time, the expense ratios of the Funds generally have fallen or risen, respectively. After completing this examination, the Board concluded that each Fund’s expenses are appropriate at the current time.

Independent Fee Consultant Review

Independent legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, engaged the independent fee consultant to assist them in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees charged by IICO to all funds within the fund complex. The independent fee consultant’s review addressed the followingfee-related factors:

1. The nature, extent and quality of IICO’s services to the Funds;

2. Management fees and expenses in the context of performance;

3. Product category expenses, including peers;

4. Profit margins of IICO’s parent from supplying such services;

5. Subadviser and institutional fee analyses; and

6. Possible economies of scale as a Fund grows larger.

The following summarizes the findings of the independent fee consultant retained by the Independent Trustees.

Summary Findings

The report stated that IICO delivered reasonable levels of performance in the longer-term periods and reasonable levels of service to the Funds in relation to its management fees as compared to the investment advisers of comparable funds. For the 36 months ended March 31, 2019, approximately 17% of the Funds were in the top quartile of performance and 29% of the Funds were in the top two quartiles of performance and that short-term performance of such Funds were showing signs of improvement. Specifically, the report noted that 58% of the Funds were in the top two quartiles in theone-year period, and that 28% of all such Funds had improving performance in theirone-year period. The independent fee consultant noted that the Funds’ performance appeared to be grounded in a number of institutional competitive advantages at IICO, including investment management depth, ability to attract top talent, proactive management, performance-focused culture, economic analysis and an effective trading infrastructure.

The report further indicated that total expenses of the funds in the complex, on average, were 3% over the average total expenses of their respective Broadridge Expense Group peers and 1% under the average total expenses for their Broadridge Expense Universe peers. The net management fees for the Funds were 2% over the average net management fees of their respective Broadridge Expense Group peers and 7% over the average net management fees for their Broadridge Expense Universes. The report also stated that, when compared to expenses from the prior year, net management fees deceased by 1.5%, while total expenses decreased by 1%.

The report also stated that the management fees IICO charges to the Funds are reasonable in relation to the management fees it charges to its institutional account clients. The report noted that these institutional account clients have different service and infrastructure needs and in addition, the average spread between management fees IICO charged to the Funds and those it charges to institutional account clients is reasonable relative to the average fee spreads computed from industry surveys.

The report stated that while it was difficult to confirm overall economies of scale, it was clear that the Funds’ shareholders generally are benefitting from lower expenses as the Funds’ assets grow.

The report also noted that the overall profitability of IICO’s parent relative to other complexes is reasonable.

Finally, the report also examined the fees that IICO retains on Funds that are subadvised by unaffiliated Subadvisers and indicated that those fees are reasonable relative to the industry. The report also stated that the subadvisory fees that IICO earns for serving as a subadviser to an unaffiliated fund when compared to fees of similar Funds likewise are reasonable relative to the industry.

Conclusions

The independent fee consultant’s report concluded that it believes that the services provided by IICO and its affiliates and expenses incurred by the Funds in the previous 12 months are reasonable and provide adequate justification for renewal of the Funds’ existing Agreements.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER IVY FUNDS

	SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED)
Philip J. Sanders, CFA

Dear Shareholder,

Equity markets roared back following the sharp correction atyear-end 2018, with the S&P 500 Index advancing more than 20% in 2019, as of Sept. 30, and every sector posting gains. The rally had apro-cyclical component, as information technology and real estate delivered the strongest sector returns, while energy and health care were the laggards.

The U.S. economy remains relatively healthy and remains in the longest economic expansion in U.S. history despite uncertainty about trade and signs of global weakening. We believe the underlying fundamentals — a strong job market, rising wages and low inflation — support continued growth during the rest of 2019. However, U.S. trade policy remains a wildcard and poses a major threat to the current expansion.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) held steady on interest rates for the first half of 2019, but cut the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in July and then again in September. The federal funds target range currently is1.75-2.0%. Increasing pressures from trade turmoil and uncertainty around the strength of global growth led the Fed to become more accommodative, and we believe one additional rate cut is likely by calendar year’s end.

The pace of economic growth in Europe has weakened during the period, mainly due to the drag of global trade and Brexit uncertainty. We anticipate eurozone growth will remain weak through the rest of the year, but could see some stabilization by the end of 2019. The European Central Bank introduced a broad stimulus package in September, including lower rates, a reboot of quantitative easing and a commitment to maintain these initiatives until inflation moves toward its target of just below 2%. With core inflation currently around 1%, we expect these policies to be in place for at least the next year or two.

Emerging markets faced multiple headwinds over the period, namely a strong dollar, China’s focus on deleveraging and regulation, trade wars, volatile energy prices and increased geopolitical risks. Despite near-term concerns and likely volatility across the global equity market, we believe the long-term fundamentals in emerging markets will continue to offer opportunities. By comparison, U.S. equities broadly have benefitted from a more attractive growth rate, which was the result of tax reform, lower regulatory pressures and repatriation of overseas earnings.

Looking ahead, we believe equities face intensifying headwinds as the pace of global growth slows and trade turmoil lingers. As we examine the investment landscape, we continue to put greater emphasis on the fundamentals and quality of asset classes and sectors. We believe it is important to stay focused on the merits of individual market sectors, industries and companies when making investment decisions. Those fundamentals historically have tended to outweigh external factors such as government policies and regulations. While those can affect every business and every investor, we think the innovation and management skill within individual companies are the ultimate drivers of long-term stock prices.

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 3

ILLUSTRATION OF FUND EXPENSES IVY FUNDS

(UNAUDITED)

Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, exchange fees and account fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees, and other Fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for thesix-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Actual Expenses

The first section in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each share class. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There may be additional fees charged to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. Fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), IRA Rollovers, Roth IRAs, Conversion Roth IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRAs,Tax-Sheltered Accounts (TSAs), Keogh Plans, Owner Only 401(k) (Exclusive K) Plans and Final Pay Plans. As of the close of the six months covered by the table, a customer is charged an annual fee of $18 within each plan type. This fee is waived for IRA Rollovers and Conversion Roth IRAs if the customer owns another type of IRA. Coverdell Education Savings Account plans are charged an annual fee of $10 per customer. With limited exceptions,

for Class A shares, if your Fund account balance is below $650 on the Friday prior to the last full week of September of each year, the account will be assessed an account fee of $20. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over thesix-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value as such additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the following table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for each share class based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of five percent per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this five percent hypothetical example with the five percent hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), exchange fees or account fees. Therefore, the second section in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses paid may be impacted by expense reduction arrangements. If those arrangements had not been in place, expenses paid would have been higher. See Note 6 in Notes to Financial Statements for further information.

* Fund expenses for each share class are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 days in thesix-month period ended September 30, 2019, and divided by 365.

** These class shares are not available for direct investment. However, they are available for dividend reinvestment and exchange of the same class shares of another Ivy Fund.

*** Class share is closed to investment.

(1) This section uses the Fund’s actual total return and actual Fund expenses. It is a guide to the actual expenses paid by the Fund in the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is computed using the Fund’s actual return and the “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. A shareholder may use the information here, together with the dollar amount invested, to estimate the expenses that were paid over the period. For every thousand dollars a shareholder has invested, the expenses are listed in the last column of this section.

(2) This section uses a hypothetical five percent annual return and actual Fund expenses. It helps to compare the Fund’s ongoing costs with other mutual funds. A shareholder can compare the Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

(3) Annualized Expense Ratio Based on theSix-Month Period does not include expenses of Underlying Ivy Funds in which Ivy Managed International Opportunities Fund invests.

The above illustrations are based on ongoing costs only and do not include any transactional costs, such as sales loads or exchange fees.

Our preference is to always use ratings obtained from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch. It is each Portfolio’s general policy to classify such security at the lower rating level if only two ratings are available. If more than two ratings are available and a median exists, the median is used. If more than two ratings exist without a median, the lower of the two middle ratings is used. We do not evaluate these ratings, but simply assign them to the appropriate credit quality category as determined by the rating agency.

Our preference is to always use ratings obtained from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch. It is each Portfolio’s general policy to classify such security at the lower rating level if only two ratings are available. If more than two ratings are available and a median exists, the median is used. If more than two ratings exist without a median, the lower of the two middle ratings is used. We do not evaluate these ratings, but simply assign them to the appropriate credit quality category as determined by the rating agency.

+ Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid securities with maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents may include U.S. Government Treasury bills, bank certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, corporate commercial paper and other money market instruments.

Our preference is to always use ratings obtained from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch. It is each Portfolio’s general policy to classify such security at the lower rating level if only two ratings are available. If more than two ratings are available and a median exists, the median is used. If more than two ratings exist without a median, the lower of the two middle ratings is used. We do not evaluate these ratings, but simply assign them to the appropriate credit quality category as determined by the rating agency.

Our preference is to always use ratings obtained from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch. It is each Portfolio’s general policy to classify such security at the lower rating level if only two ratings are available. If more than two ratings are available and a median exists, the median is used. If more than two ratings exist without a median, the lower of the two middle ratings is used. We do not evaluate these ratings, but simply assign them to the appropriate credit quality category as determined by the rating agency.

Our preference is to always use ratings obtained from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch. It is each Portfolio’s general policy to classify such security at the lower rating level if only two ratings are available. If more than two ratings are available and a median exists, the median is used. If more than two ratings exist without a median, the lower of the two middle ratings is used. We do not evaluate these ratings, but simply assign them to the appropriate credit quality category as determined by the rating agency.

+ Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid securities with maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents may include U.S. Government Treasury bills, bank certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, corporate commercial paper and other money market instruments.

Our preference is to always use ratings obtained from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch. It is each Portfolio’s general policy to classify such security at the lower rating level if only two ratings are available. If more than two ratings are available and a median exists, the median is used. If more than two ratings exist without a median, the lower of the two middle ratings is used. We do not evaluate these ratings, but simply assign them to the appropriate credit quality category as determined by the rating agency.

+ Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid securities with maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents may include U.S. Government Treasury bills, bank certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, corporate commercial paper and other money market instruments.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED)

The following total return swap agreements were outstanding at September 30, 2019:

Underlying Security	Long/Short	Counterparty		Maturity Date		Notional Amount		Financing Fee(1)(2)	Value			Upfront Payments/ (Receipts)		Unrealized Depreciation
Biotech Custom Index	Long		Goldman Sachs International		07/02/2020	$	71,512	1-Month LIBOR plus 10 bps	$	(2,687	)	$	—	$	(2,687	)

(1) The Fund pays the financing fee multiplied by the notional amount if long on the swap agreement. If the Fund is short on the swap agreement, the Fund receives the financing fee multiplied by the notional amount.

(2) At the termination date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the market-linked total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying security less a financing rate, if any. If the Fund is long on the swap agreement, the Fund would receive payments on any net positive total return, and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. If the Fund is short on the swap agreement, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payments in the event of a negative total return.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATMENTS IVY FUNDS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION

Ivy Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. Ivy Core Equity Fund, Ivy Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Ivy Global Bond Fund, Ivy Global Equity Income Fund, Ivy Global Growth Fund, Ivy Government Money Market Fund, Ivy High Income Fund, Ivy International Core Equity Fund, Ivy Large Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Limited-Term Bond Fund, Ivy Managed International Opportunities Fund, Ivy Mid Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Mid Cap Income Opportunities Fund, Ivy Municipal Bond Fund, Ivy Municipal High Income Fund, Ivy Pzena International Value Fund, Ivy Securian Core Bond Fund, Ivy Small Cap Core Fund, Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund and Ivy Value Fund (each, a “Fund”) are 20 series of the Trust and are the only series of the Trust included in these financial statements. The investment objective(s), policies and risk factors of each Fund are described more fully in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). Each Fund’s investment manager is Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO” or the “Manager”).

Each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class N shares. Each Fund (excluding Ivy Mid Cap Income Opportunities Fund) offers Class B shares. The Funds’ Class B shares are not available for purchase by new and existing investors. Class B shares will continue to be available for dividend reinvestment and exchanges from Class B shares of another fund within Ivy Funds. Class C shares are not available for direct investment in the Ivy Government Money Market Fund. Class C shares of Ivy Government Money Market Fund will continue to be available for dividend reinvestment and exchanges from Class C shares of another fund within Ivy Funds. Certain Funds may also offer Class E, Class I, Class R, Class T and/or Class Y shares. Class E shares are closed for all investments in the Ivy Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Ivy Global Growth Fund, Ivy Managed International Opportunities Fund, Ivy Small Cap Core Fund and Ivy Value Fund. Class A, Class E and Class T shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value (“NAV”) plus afront-end sales charge. For Class A shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) is only imposed on shares purchased at NAV for $1 million or more that are subsequently redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold without afront-end sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC. Class I, Class N, Class R and Class Y shares are sold without either afront-end sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Net investment income, net assets and NAV per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer agent and shareholder servicing fees, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C, E, R, T and Y have a distribution and service plan. Class I shares and Class N shares are not included in the plan. With certain exceptions described in the Prospectus, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 96 months after the date of purchase. With certain exceptions described in the Prospectus, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 120 months after the date of purchase.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income.Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where theex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of theex-dividend date. All or a portion of the distributions received from a real estate investment trust or publicly traded partnership may be designated as a reduction of cost of the related investment or realized gain.

Foreign Currency Translation.Each Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars daily, using foreign exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). 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. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Foreign exchange rates are typically valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses.Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

160 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

Income Taxes.It is the policy of each Fund to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, each Fund intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of excise tax. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes. The Funds file income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax returns. Management of the Trust periodically reviews all tax positions to assess whether it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authority based on the technical merits of each position. As of the date of these financial statements, management believes that no liability for unrecognized tax positions is required.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.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 (“U.S. GAAP”). If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceed net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes.

Segregation and Collateralization.In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the interpretive rules and regulations of the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission require that a Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, securities with extended settlement periods, and swaps), the Fund will segregate collateral or designate on its books and records, cash or other liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount that is required to be physically segregated for the benefit of the counterparty. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit cash or securities as collateral for certain investments. Certain countries require that cash reserves be held while investing in companies incorporated in that country. These cash reserves and cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Restricted cash”. Securities collateral pledged for the same purpose, if any, is noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Concentration of Market and Credit Risk. In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded on the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

Certain Funds may hold high-yield ornon-investment-grade bonds, that may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Funds may acquire securities in default and are not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default.

Certain Funds may enter into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may haveoff-balance sheet market risk.Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in financial derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.

The London Interbank Offered Rate “LIBOR” is an indicative measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks could borrow from one another. LIBOR is quoted in multiple currencies and multiple time frames using data reported

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 161

by private-sector banks. LIBOR is used extensively in the United States and globally as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds and loans, floating rate mortgages, asset-backed securities, consumer loans, and interest rate swaps and other derivatives.

It is expected that a number of private-sector banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR will stop doing so after 2021 when their current reporting commitment ends, which could either cause LIBOR to stop publication immediately or cause LIBOR’s regulator to determine that its quality has degraded to the degree that it is no longer representative of its underlying market.

Management believes that, with respect to any significant investments by the Funds in instruments linked to LIBOR, the impact on investments and discontinuation of LIBOR may represent a significant risk.

However, management acknowledges that the anticipated transition away from LIBOR will occur after 2021 and certain of the current investments will mature prior to that time. Furthermore, the ways in which LIBOR’s discontinuation potentially could impact the Funds’ investments is not fully known. The extent of that impact may vary depending on various factors, which include, but are not limited to: (i) existing fallback or termination provisions in individual contracts and (ii) whether, how, and when industry participants develop and adopt new successor reference rates and/or fallbacks for both legacy and new instruments.

In addition, the transition to a successor rate could potentially cause (i) increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR, (ii) a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by a Fund, or (iii) reduced effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedging.

As the impacts of the transition become clearer during the next year, Management will be evaluating the impacts of these changes.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds.Certain Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Interest Only Obligations.These securities entitle the owner to receive only the interest portion from a bond, Treasury note or pool of mortgages. These securities are generally created by a third party separating a bond or pool of mortgages into distinct interest-only and principal-only securities. As the principal (par) amount of a bond or pool of mortgages is paid down, the amount of interest income earned by the owner will decline as well.

Loans.Certain Funds may invest in loans, the interest rates of which float or adjust periodically based upon a specified adjustment schedule, benchmark indicator, or prevailing interest rates, the debtor of which may be a domestic or foreign corporation, partnership or other entity (“Borrower”). Loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically redetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates generally include prime rates of one or more major U.S. banks, the LIBOR or certificates of deposit rates. Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the Borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which Borrowers repay cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities. Loans are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may contain certain restrictions on resale, and cannot be sold publicly. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties.

When a Fund purchases assignments, it acquires all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement of the assigning lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than those held by the assigning lender. When a Fund purchases a participation of a loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation. A participation interest in loans includes the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the lender and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the Borrower, but not from the Borrower directly. When investing in a participation interest, if a Borrower is unable to meet its obligations under a loan agreement, a Fund generally has no direct right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant, and any other persons that are interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower. If the lead lender in a typical lending syndicate becomes insolvent, enters Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) receivership or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in receiving payment or may suffer a loss of principal and interest.

162 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

PaymentIn-Kind Securities.Certain Funds may invest in paymentin-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in cash or in additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require apro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis.Certain Funds may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by a Fund on a when-issued basis normally take place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of a Fund’s NAV to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When a Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield IICO, or the Fund’s investment subadviser, as applicable, consider advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis prior to settlement of the original purchase.

Custodian Fees.“Custodian fees” on the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by a Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. A Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by that Fund. The “Earnings credit” line item, if shown, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by that Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Indemnification.The Trust’s organizational documents provide current and former Trustees and Officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Basis of Preparation.Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (“ASC 946”). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including but not limited to ASC 946. U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.

Subsequent Events. Management has performed a review for subsequent events through the date this report was issued.

3. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Each Fund’s investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an asset or would pay upon satisfying a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Each Fund calculates the NAV of its shares as of the close of the NYSE, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.

For purposes of calculating the NAV, the portfolio securities and financial instruments are valued on each business day using pricing and valuation methods as adopted by the Board. Where market quotes are readily available, fair value is generally determined on the basis of the last reported sales price, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services.

Prices for fixed-income securities are typically based on quotes that are obtained from an independent pricing service approved by the Board. To determine values of fixed-income securities, the independent pricing service utilizes such factors as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other yield and risk factors it deems relevant in determining valuations. Securities that cannot be valued by the independent pricing service may be valued using quotes obtained from dealers that make markets in the securities.

Investments in Ivy Government Money Market Fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost (which approximates value), whereby a portfolio security is valued at its cost initially, and thereafter valued to reflect a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less held in all Funds (with the exception of Ivy Government Money Market Fund) are valued based on quotes that are obtained from an independent pricing service approved by the Board as described in the preceding paragraph above.

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 163

Because many foreign markets close before the NYSE, events may occur between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE that could have a material impact on the valuation of foreign securities. Waddell & Reed Services Company (“WRSCO”), pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, evaluates the impact of these events and may adjust the valuation of foreign securities to reflect the fair value as of the close of the NYSE. In addition, all securities for which values are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are appraised at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Board.

Where market quotes are not readily available, portfolio securities or financial instruments are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board or Valuation Committee pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or financial instruments. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available.

The Board has delegated to WRSCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or financial instruments and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or financial instruments should bere-evaluated in light of such significant events. IICO, pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, has established a Valuation Committee to administer and oversee the valuation process, including the use of third party pricing vendors.

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and financial instruments in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. For instances in which daily market quotes are not readily available, investments may be valued, pursuant to procedures established by the Board, with reference to other securities or indices. In the event that the security or financial instrument cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the value of the security or financial instrument will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Board.

When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods applied by WRSCO that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Board or persons acting at its direction believe accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that will ultimately be realized at the time the securities are sold.

WRSCO is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the pricing and valuation policies through a series of activities to provide reasonable comfort of the accuracy of prices including: 1) periodic vendor due diligence meetings to review methodologies, new developments, and process at vendors, 2) daily and monthly multi-source pricing comparisons reviewed and submitted to the Valuation Committee, and 3) daily review of unpriced, stale, and variance reports with exceptions reviewed by management and the Valuation Committee.

Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

An individual investment’s fair value measurement is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

• Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices, available in active markets, for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at its direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

164 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities.The fair value of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are estimated using recently executed transactions and based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, the prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and otherwise they would be categorized as Level 3.

Bullion.The fair value of bullion is at the last settlement price at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate Bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds, as obtained from an independent pricing service, is estimated using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the NYSE, which are provided by an independent pricing service. Swaps derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs or a combination of these factors. Swaps are valued by an independent pricing service unless the price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at the price provided by a dealer in that security. Exchange-traded futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price. Listed options are ordinarily valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by an independent pricing service unless the price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at a quotation obtained from a broker-dealer.Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are ordinarily valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price for a comparable listed option provided by an independent pricing service unless such a price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at a quotation obtained from a broker-dealer.

Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. OTC derivative contracts include forward foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products are modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case with interest rate swap and option contracts. OTC derivative products valued using pricing models with significant observable inputs are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Securities. Equity securities traded on U.S. or foreign securities exchanges or included in a national market system are valued at the official closing price at the close of each business day unless otherwise stated below. OTC equity securities and listed securities for which no price is readily available are valued at the average of the last bid and ask prices.

Mutual funds, including investment funds, typically are valued at the NAV reported as of the valuation date.

Securities that are stated at the last reported sales price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded and to the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign securities, for which the primary trading market closes at the same time or after the NYSE, are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and categorized in Level 1. Because many foreign securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the NYSE, closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to theintra-day trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange-traded funds, and the movement of certain indices of securities based on a statistical analysis of their historical relationship; such valuations generally are categorized in Level 2.

Preferred stock, repurchase agreements, and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also generally categorized in Level 2.

Loans.Loans are valued using a price or composite price from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value of loans is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 165

quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable market inputs obtained from independent sources. Loans are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable in which case they would be categorized as Level 3.

Municipal Bonds. Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models used by and obtained from an independent pricing service that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades,bid-wants lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Overdraft due to custodian.Due to the short-term nature of overdraft due to custodian, the carrying value approximates fair value and the liability is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted Securities. Restricted securities that are deemed to be Rule 144A securities and illiquid, as well as restricted securities held innon-public entities, are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that significant inputs to valuation are unobservable, because they trade infrequently, if at all and, therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Restricted securities that are valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities may be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that the discount is considered to be insignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety; otherwise they may be categorized as Level 3.

U.S. Government and Agency Securities. U.S. government and agency securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. Accordingly, U.S. government and agency securities are normally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the liquidity and transparency of the market.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 occurred primarily due to the lack of observable market data due to decreased market activity or information for these securities. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occurred primarily due to the increased availability of observable market data due to increased market activity or information.

For fair valuations using unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and Level 3 reconciliation, if any, have been included in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

Net realized gain (loss) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation), shown on the reconciliation of Level 3 investments, if applicable, are included on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investments in unaffiliated and/or affiliated securities and in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in unaffiliated and/or affiliated securities, respectively. Additionally, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for all Level 3 investments still held as of September 30, 2019, if applicable, is included on the Statement of Operations in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in unaffiliated and/or affiliated securities.

4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS ($ amounts in thousands unless indicated otherwise)

The following disclosures contain information on why and how the Funds use derivative instruments, the associated risks of investing in derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial positions and results of operations.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.Certain Funds are authorized to enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Schedule of Investments. Forward contracts are valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates provided by an independent pricing service determined at the close of the NYSE. The resulting unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and on the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Risks to a Fund related to the use of such contracts include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund’s maximum loss will consist of the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts that is not collateralized.

Ivy High Income Fund and Ivy International Core Equity Fund enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).

166 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

Futures Contracts.Certain Funds are authorized to engage in buying and selling futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit, in a segregated account, an amount equal to a varying specified percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the initial margin. Subsequent amounts, known as variation margin, are paid or received by the Fund each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying debt security or index. Options on futures contracts may also be purchased or sold by a Fund.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Schedule of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are identified on the Schedule of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility of loss of securities or cash held as collateral, that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Ivy Municipal Bond Fund and Ivy Securian Core Bond Fund invest in long and/or short positions in futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk).

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

When a 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 value of the option written. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or a 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 written call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or loss. When a written put is exercised, the cost basis of the instruments purchased by a Fund is reduced by the amount of the premium received.

Investments in options, whether purchased or written, involve certain risks. Writing put options and purchasing call options may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. With written options, there may be times when a Fund will be required to purchase or sell instruments to meet its obligation under the option contract where the required action is not beneficial to the Fund, due to unfavorable movement of the market price of the underlying instrument.

Option contracts can be traded on a regulated exchange or traded OTC. Unlike the trades on a regulated exchange where the clearinghouse guarantees the performances of both the buyer and the seller, to the extent a Fund enters into OTC option transactions with counterparties, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that counterparties to these OTC transactions will be unable to meet their obligations under the terms of the transaction.

Ivy Mid Cap Growth Fund and Ivy Value Fund purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease hedging exposure to underlying instruments (which include credit risk, equity risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, event risk and/or interest rate risk), increase exposure to various equity markets or certain sectors, gain exposure to or facilitate trading in certain securities and/or, in the case of options written, to generate returns from options premiums.

Swap Agreements. Certain Funds are authorized to invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in theover-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”). If the OTC swap entered is one of the swaps identified by a relevant regulator as a swap that is required to be cleared, then it will be cleared through a third party, known as a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (“centrally cleared swaps”).

Swaps are marked to market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made by the Fund are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Any upfront premiums paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, if any, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. An early termination payment received or made at an early termination or a final payment made at the maturity of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

After a centrally cleared swap is accepted for clearing, a Fund may be required to deposit initial margin with a Clearing Member in the form of cash or securities. Securities deposited as initial margin, if any, are designated on the Schedule of Investments. Cash deposited as initial margin is identified on the Schedule of Investments and is recorded as restricted cash on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 167

Total return swaps involve a commitment of one party to pay periodic interest payments in exchange for a market-linked return based on a security or a basket of securities including a variety of securities or representing a particular index. To the extent the total return of the security, a basket of securities, or an index exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Ivy Small Cap Core Fund and Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund enter into total return swaps to hedge exposure to a security or market.

The creditworthiness of the counterparty with which a Fund enters into a swap agreement is monitored by IICO. If a counterparty creditworthiness declines, the value of the agreement would likely decline, potentially resulting in losses. If a default occurs by the counterparty to such a transaction, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction. The maximum loss a Fund may incur consists of the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts that is not collateralized due to facts specific to certain situations (i.e., collateral may not have been posted by the counterparty due to the required collateral amount being less than thepre-agreed thresholds. Additionally, regulatory developments called stay resolutions and the ensuing required contractual amendments to the transactional documentation, including derivatives, permit the relevant regulators to preclude parties to a transaction from terminating trades, among other rights it may have in the trade agreements should a counterparty that it regulates experience financial distress. A relevant regulator also has the authority to reduce the value of certain liabilities owed by the counterparty to a Fund and/or convert cash liabilities of a regulated entity into equity holdings. The power given to the relevant regulators includes the ability to amend transactional agreements unilaterally, modify the maturity of eligible liabilities, reduce the amount of interest payable or change the date on which interest becomes payable, among other powers.

To prevent incurring losses due to the counterparty credit risk, IICO actively monitors the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which it has entered financial transactions. IICO consistently and frequently risk manages the credit risk of the counterparties it faces in transactions.

Collateral and rights of offset. A Fund mitigates credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes (“CSA”) included with an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement which is the standard contract governing all OTC derivative transactions between the Fund and each of its counterparties. Although it is not possible to eliminate credit risk entirely, the CSA allows the Fund and its counterparty to reduce their exposure to the risk of payment default by the other party by holding an amount in collateral equivalent to the realized and unrealized amount of exposure to the counterparty, which is generally held by the Fund’s custodian. An amount of collateral is moved to/from applicable counterparties only if the amount of collateral required to be posted surpasses both the threshold and the minimum transfer amountpre-agreed in the CSA between the Fund and the counterparty. See Note 2 “Segregation and Collateralization” for additional information with respect to collateral practices.

5. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION OF THE IVY EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND

Ivy EME, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary acting as an investment vehicle for the Ivy Emerging Markets Equity Fund (referred to as “the Fund” in this subsection). The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund, in order to effect certain investments for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies as specified in its prospectus and SAI. The Fund’s investment portfolio has been consolidated and includes the portfolio holdings of the Fund and its Subsidiary. The consolidated financial

170 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

statements include the accounts of the Fund and its Subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. A subscription agreement was entered into between the Fund and its Subsidiary comprising the entire issued share capital of the Subsidiary with the intent that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and retain all rights. Under the Articles of Association, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to receive notice of, to attend and to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and shall confer upon the shareholder rights in awinding-up or repayment of capital and the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary.

See the table below for details regarding the structure, incorporation and relationship as of September 30, 2019 of the Subsidiary to the Fund (amounts in thousands).

Broker accounts. 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 WISC if the individual accounts that comprise the omnibus account were opened by their beneficial owners directly. Each Fund may pay such broker-dealers a per account fee for each open account within the omnibus account (up to $18.00 per account), or a fixed rate fee (up to an annual fee of 0.20 of 1% that is based on average daily net assets), based on the average daily NAV of the omnibus account (or a combination thereof).

(“IDI”) for Class A, Class E and Class T shares in an amount not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund’s average annual net assets.

10. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES ($ amounts in thousands)

The Funds may lend their portfolio securities only to borrowers that are approved by the Fund’s securities lending agent, The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”). The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% of the market value for all other securities, except in the case of loans of foreign securities which are denominated and payable in U.S. Dollars, in which case the collateral is required to have a value of at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund and any excess collateral is returned by the Fund on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in the Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund — Institutional Shares or certain other registered money market funds and are disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments and are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral on securities loaned at value.Non-cash collateral, in the form of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, is not disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and the Fund does not have the ability tore-hypothecate these securities. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its Schedule of Investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of September 30, 2019 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending activity is disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

The cash collateral received amounts presented in the table above are transactions accounted for as secured borrowings and have an overnight and continuous maturity. The proceeds from the cash collateral received is invested in registered money market funds.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower indemnity provided by BNYM. BNYM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent wherein BNYM will purchase the unreturned loaned securities on the open market by applying the proceeds of the collateral or to the extent such proceeds are insufficient or the collateral is unavailable, BNYM will purchase the unreturned loan securities at BNYM’s expense. However, the Fund could suffer a loss if the value of the investments purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the cash collateral received.

11. BORROWINGS

On May 24, 2019 the Trust, on behalf of the Ivy High Income Fund and Ivy Municipal High Income Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager (“Participating Funds”), entered into a364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility with Bank of New York Mellon and a group of financial institutions to be utilized to temporarily finance the repurchase or redemption of Fund shares and for other temporary or emergency purposes. The Participating Funds can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $130 million at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit facility has the following terms: a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the daily amount of unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) the federal funds effective rate (but not below 0.0%) plus 1.00% per annum or (b) theone-month LIBOR rate (but not below 0.0%) plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. The agreement expires in May 2020 unless extended or renewed. As of September 30, 2019, if applicable, any outstanding borrowings would be disclosed as a payable for borrowing on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Commitment and interest fees, if any, paid by the Participating Funds are disclosed as part of commitment and interest expense for borrowing on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Participating Funds did not borrow under the credit facility.

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS IVY FUNDS (UNAUDITED)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Ivy Funds (the “Trust”) held on August 13^th and 14^th, 2019, the Board, including all of the trustees who are not “interested persons” (the “Independent Trustees”), as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO”) and the Trust, and the continuance of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements between IICO and:

• Apollo Credit Management, LLC (with respect to the Ivy Apollo Multi-Asset Income Fund and Ivy Apollo Strategic Income Fund)

• LaSalle Investment Management Securities, LLC and LaSalle Investment Management Securities B.V. (with respect to the Ivy LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund and the Ivy Apollo Multi-Asset Income Fund)

• Mackenzie Investments Europe Limited (Mackenzie Europe) and the investment sub-advisory agreement between Mackenzie Europe and Mackenzie Investments Asia Limited (with respect to the Ivy International Small Cap Fund)

• Pictet Asset Management Limited and Pictet Asset Management (Singapore) PTE Ltd. (with respect to the Ivy Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund and Pictet Asset Management SA (with respect to the Ivy Targeted Return Bond Fund)

• PineBridge Investments, LLC (with respect to the Ivy PineBridge High Yield Fund)

• ProShare Advisors, LLC (with respect to the Ivy ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index Fund, the Ivy ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers Index Fund, the Ivy ProShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Index Fund, the Ivy ProShares S&P 500 Bond Index Fund and the Ivy ProShares MSCI ACWI Index Fund)

• Pzena Investment Management, LLC (with respect to the Ivy Pzena International Value Fund)

• Securian Asset Management, Inc. (with respect to the Ivy Securian Core Bond Fund and the Ivy Securian Real Estate Securities Fund)

• Wilshire Associates Incorporated (with respect to the Ivy Wilshire Global Allocation Fund)

Each subadviser is referred to herein as a “Subadviser,” and the Management Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreements are referred to collectively herein as the “Agreements.”

The Board’s Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with such counsel separately from representatives of IICO and the Subadvisers. Independent legal counsel explained the factors that the Board should consider as part of its review of the Agreements, all as outlined in a memorandum it had provided to the Board prior to the meeting, including, among other things, the nature and the quality of the services provided by IICO and the Subadvisers, profitability (including anyfall-out benefits) from IICO’s and the Subadvisers’ relationships with each series of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”), economies of scale, the role played by the Independent Trustees, and information on comparative fees and expenses. The Independent Trustees also considered the written responses and materials produced by IICO and each Subadviser in response to 15(c) due diligence request lists submitted by the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel prior to the meeting, as well as materials produced in response to afollow-up request list sent to IICO by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees. Included in those responses, which had been provided to the Board prior to the meeting, was aFund-by-Fund profitability analysis prepared by IICO, as well as an explanation of the methodology by which the profitability analysis was calculated. The Board also received extensive materials on performance, expenses and comparable fund information from Broadridge, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent mutual fund rating service. Finally, the Independent Trustees received and reviewed a considerable amount of information that their independent fee consultant had provided to them. The Independent Trustees previously had reviewed and discussed these materials during a telephonic meeting in July 2019. They further reviewed these materials among themselves, with their independent legal counsel and the independent fee consultant, and with the other Board members at executive sessions of the Independent Trustees at the August13-14, 2019 Board meeting, during which the Board considered various factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s determination to approve the Agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by IICO and each Subadviser, taking into account the large amount of materials produced by IICO and the Subadvisers in response to the 15(c) due diligence requests submitted on its behalf by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.

The Board also took into account the report from its Investment Oversight Committee (the “IOC”), in light of that committee’s duties to assist the Board in the 15(c) process. The IOC had reported to the Board on its review of the performance of the Funds, IICO’s investment risk management function, and the changes IICO and its affiliates have been

2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 195

undertaking for the Trust and the overall fund complex. As such, the Board examined all of IICO’s activities in light of performance and expense structure, as well as the overall rationalization of the fund complex (both completed and/or proposed), which is designed to provide economies of scale to the shareholders, reduce the Funds’ expenses and enhance the performance of the Funds, particularly in the context of substantial industry change and regulatory developments.

The Board likewise considered the knowledge it had received from its regular meetings, including from the materials provided in connection with those meetings, such as the resources and key personnel of IICO and each Subadviser, as well as the other services provided to the Funds by IICO and each Subadviser, as applicable (e.g., managing the quality of execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, producing reports, providing support services for the Board and its committees, communicating with shareholders and overseeing the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable laws and regulations). The Board also took into account the compliance environment at IICO and each Subadviser, noting the resources that each entity has dedicated towards compliance. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided by IICO and each Subadviser were appropriate, that the quality of those services had been consistent with quality norms in the industry and that the Funds were likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services.

Benefits from the Relationship with the Funds

The Board next discussed whether IICO or any Subadviser derives any other direct or indirect benefit from serving the Funds. In that regard, the Board discussed the transfer agency and shareholder servicing fees that Waddell & Reed Services Company (“WISC”), an affiliate of IICO, has provided to the Funds. The Board took note of the caps that management previously had agreed to on shareholder servicing costs. The Board also considered the benefits that accrue to each service provider organization from its respective relationship with the Funds, including the fact that a variety of services are provided by affiliates of IICO, including distribution, administrative and Fund accounting services, and, as discussed above, shareholder servicing. The Board also considered management’s proposal to outsource the transactional processing operations of WISC to asub-agent for the Funds, which is designed to achieve greater efficiencies and savings for Fund shareholders over time. After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that none of IICO, any Subadviser or any of their affiliates receives any additional direct or indirect benefits that would preclude the Board from approving the continuation of the Management Agreement with IICO or any Investment Subadvisory Agreement with a Subadviser.

Economies of Scale

The Board discussed whether economies of scale are being realized by the Funds and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders. The Board considered the fact that as a Fund’s assets have grown, the expenses of that Fund generally have fallen. Additionally, in that regard, the Board considered the various initiatives that IICO has undertaken to seek to rationalize the fund complex.

Performance of the Funds and Costs of Services Provided

The Board considered the performance of each Fund and the costs of the services provided, focusing in particular on a number of Funds that the independent fee consultant had identified. Specifically, the Board examined the investment performance of each Fund, including the percentile ranking of each Fund over various periods of time. The Board also examined the performance of each Fund against its respective benchmark index and peer funds for the same periods. After extensively reviewing all of the performance information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ performance in each asset class was acceptable. Although the performance of some of the focus Funds identified by the independent fee consultant lagged that of their peers or respective benchmark index, the Board recognized that IICO, or the applicable Subadviser, had taken, or was taking, steps to address that underperformance, and determined to continue to monitor closely the performance of those Funds.

The Board also considered the expenses and expense ratio of each Fund, and the expense limitation and fee reduction arrangements entered into by IICO in light of the services provided by IICO and each Subadviser. The Board also compared each Fund’s expenses, including advisory, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, with the expenses and advisory fees of other investment advisers managing similarly situated funds, as well as the advisory fees that IICO (or an affiliate) charges for providing advisory services to other accounts in the same asset class for certain Funds. In that regard, the Board noted that IICO performs significant additional services for the Funds as compared to those other accounts. The Board also took into account the information on IICO’s profitability in managing the Funds, including the methodology used to calculate profitability. The Board finally considered the amount of assets in each Fund, each Fund’s average account size and how those factors affect the Funds’ expense ratios, noting that, as the Funds’ assets have increased or decreased over time, the expense ratios of the Funds generally have fallen or risen, respectively. After completing this examination, the Board concluded that each Fund’s expenses are appropriate at the current time.

196 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2019

Independent Fee Consultant Review

Independent legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, engaged the independent fee consultant to assist them in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees charged by IICO to all funds within the fund complex. The independent fee consultant’s review addressed the followingfee-related factors:

1. The nature, extent and quality of IICO’s services to the Funds;

2. Management fees and expenses in the context of performance;

3. Product category expenses, including peers;

4. Profit margins of IICO’s parent from supplying such services;

5. Subadviser and institutional fee analyses; and

6. Possible economies of scale as a Fund grows larger.

The following summarizes the findings of the independent fee consultant retained by the Independent Trustees.

Summary Findings

The report stated that IICO delivered reasonable levels of performance in the longer-term periods and reasonable levels of service to the Funds in relation to its management fees as compared to the investment advisers of comparable funds. For the 36 months ended March 31, 2019, approximately 17% of the Funds were in the top quartile of performance and 29% of the Funds were in the top two quartiles of performance and that short-term performance of such Funds were showing signs of improvement. Specifically, the report noted that 58% of the Funds were in the top two quartiles in theone-year period, and that 28% of all such Funds had improving performance in theirone-year period. The independent fee consultant noted that the Funds’ performance appeared to be grounded in a number of institutional competitive advantages at IICO, including investment management depth, ability to attract top talent, proactive management, performance-focused culture, economic analysis and an effective trading infrastructure.

The report further indicated that total expenses of the funds in the complex, on average, were 3% over the average total expenses of their respective Broadridge Expense Group peers and 1% under the average total expenses for their Broadridge Expense Universe peers. The net management fees for the Funds were 2% over the average net management fees of their respective Broadridge Expense Group peers and 7% over the average net management fees for their Broadridge Expense Universes. The report also stated that, when compared to expenses from the prior year, net management fees deceased by 1.5%, while total expenses decreased by 1%.

The report also stated that the management fees IICO charges to the Funds are reasonable in relation to the management fees it charges to its institutional account clients. The report noted that these institutional account clients have different service and infrastructure needs and in addition, the average spread between management fees IICO charged to the Funds and those it charges to institutional account clients is reasonable relative to the average fee spreads computed from industry surveys.

The report stated that while it was difficult to confirm overall economies of scale, it was clear that the Funds’ shareholders generally are benefitting from lower expenses as the Funds’ assets grow.

The report also noted that the overall profitability of IICO’s parent relative to other complexes is reasonable.

Finally, the report also examined the fees that IICO retains on Funds that are subadvised by unaffiliated Subadvisers and indicated that those fees are reasonable relative to the industry. The report also stated that the subadvisory fees that IICO earns for serving as a subadviser to an unaffiliated fund when compared to fees of similar Funds likewise are reasonable relative to the industry.

Conclusions

The independent fee consultant’s report concluded that it believes that the services provided by IICO and its affiliates and expenses incurred by the Funds in the previous 12 months are reasonable and provide adequate justification for renewal of the Funds’ existing Agreements.
