Remember, a financial strategy that is appropriate for you is appropriate regardless of inevitable market changes." As you no doubt have heard, Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, a subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., became manager and advisor to the Ivy Funds in December 2002.(*) As president and chief investment officer of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, I want to personally let you know that we are enthusiastic about our new relationship, and I think there is strong reason for you to be pleased as well. Waddell & Reed has been in the investment management business since 1937 and has garnered a reputation as one of the strongest, most fundamentally focused firms in the industry. We pledge to bring the full resources of our renowned investment management team to bear on the Ivy Funds going forward. Enclosed is our report on your Fund's operations for the 12 months ended December 31, 2002. While the last 12 months brought a wave of geopolitical turmoil and corporate accounting scandals that served to dash investor confidence for most of the year, economic news did turn more positive during the period. The U.S. economy, in fact, has been quite resilient throughout 2002, after enduring many challenges. The Federal Reserve reduced short-term interest rates in November to 1.25 percent, the lowest level in many years. By December 31, we recognized numerous factors that may point to better economic growth prospects in the future. Consumer spending continues to be the underlying support mechanism, while inflation remains tame and personal income has increased consistently. With meager inflation, low interest rates, manageable debt burdens and rising personal income, we expect the economy to steer clear of the "double dip" recession that has been predicted by some economists. While we do expect equity market volatility to continue, the underlying trends lead us to believe that the prospects for stocks are positive. We anticipate market support from tax relief and the possible elimination of the double taxation of dividends. While we do not expect returns similar to those experienced in the late 1990s, we believe the equity markets have the potential for positive returns in 2003. At December 31, virtually all of the primary equity indexes had shown negative returns, although a slight rally in the fourth quarter did moderate the declines slightly. For the last 12 months, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 14.94 percent. The other two major indexes suffered even more, with the S&P 500 Index declining 22.10 percent over the last 12 months, and the NASDAQ Composite Index declining 31.53 percent over the period. In contrast to stocks, bonds did much better during the last 12 months, as evidenced by the Salomon Brothers Broad Investment Grade Index's increase of 10.09 percent for the period. Skepticism surrounding corporate accounting, along with geopolitical uncertainty, has brought out some risk aversion among investors, driving them toward the more conservative fixed income securities. Bond performance over the period also has been aided by low and declining inflation rates and an accommodative Federal Reserve. The very nature of financial markets is one of fluctuation, of bulls and bears. While ongoing change can be disconcerting, we believe that the best way to approach a fluctuating market is to develop and maintain a diversified portfolio. From our experience, those who adhere to a structured and consistent investment program over time take advantage of opportunities presented by the market's periodic downdrafts. Ultimately, we believe that it is essential for serious investors to maintain a long-term perspective and a focus on financial goals. We believe that it remains important for all investors to review their investment asset allocation on a regular basis to ensure that it continues to adhere to individual risk tolerance and is adaptable to market changes. Remember, a financial strategy that is appropriate for you is appropriate regardless of inevitable market changes. Thank you for your investment in the Ivy Funds. Respectfully, /s/ Henry J.

IVY CUNDILL GLOBAL VALUE FUND THE FUND'S GOAL: TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM CAPITAL GROWTH. (PHOTO) Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund is sub-advised by Peter Cundill & Associates, Inc. The following is an interview with Peter Cundill, management team leader of the Fund. LIPPER CATEGORY Global "As always, our strategy will consist of bottom-up, individual stock selection using the `deep value' style of investing based on the principles of Benjamin Graham, the `father of value investing.' This strategy involves seeking out companies that we believe are trading below their intrinsic value." Q: PETER, HOW DID IVY CUNDILL GLOBAL VALUE FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund returned -17.22%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -12.17% without the sales charge. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World Index, which returned -19.89%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Global Funds average), which returned -19.53%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: Global markets were extremely volatile in 2002. Geopolitical concerns, corporate accounting scandals and sluggish economic growth worldwide caused the MSCI World Index, the most common indicator of global market performance, to show its worst annual decline in quite some time. The Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund also had a disappointing year. Despite a negative return, however, the Fund outperformed its index and peer group on a relative basis. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: North American holdings were the bright spot for the Fund in 2002. Exposure to North America remained consistent throughout the year, and the portfolio's positions held up well despite the economic slowdown. During the period, we were fully hedged on international currency exposure. As a result of foreign currency appreciation, the hedging had a negative effect on performance. In addition, holdings in Asia ex-Japan were weak in comparison with its respective regional markets and also had a negative effect. For most of 2002, the Fund's Japanese holdings limited the downside with strong performance. Unfortunately, the fourth quarter was not kind to the Japanese markets. Market sentiment deteriorated rapidly as fear of a hard landing from banking reform took hold. The Japanese market was hitting 20-year lows, and sentiment and valuations were rivaling 1998 and 1995 trough levels. Despite the "margin of safety" (the difference between the underlying value of the company and the price we are paying for it) and growing business values in the Fund's Japanese holdings, they were not spared in the sell-off. These declines negatively impacted performance toward the end of the year. Q: WHAT CHANGES WERE MADE? A: During the year, we strove to improve the quality of the portfolio by switching out of names that we believed no longer offered good value into stocks that we felt offered more attractive valuations and growth prospects. As investors rushed for the exits from Japan during the fourth quarter, for example, we took the opportunity to upgrade the Fund's Japanese holdings. We took advantage of Shiseido (cosmetics manufacturer) and Fast Retailing appreciating to our measure of fair value by fully divesting the Fund of these positions. We redeployed these funds into positions such as Aiful (consumer finance), Asatsu-DK (advertising agency) and existing positions. In Asia ex-Japan, we also took advantage of market weakness to upgrade the quality of the portfolio's holdings and buy more of our existing holdings. In North America, weak stock market sentiment gave us the opportunity to replace what we saw as fairly valued positions such as The Limited (US-based retailer) and IDT (US-based telecommunications company) with undervalued positions such as Liberty Media (US-based media) during the year. Q: WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR 2003? A: Although we were disappointed with performance in 2002, we are optimistic about the future. We believe that the "margin of safety" in the portfolio has improved as the discount to what we think the assets are worth has widened. We believe that weakness in the Fund's performance and global markets presents great opportunities for improving the quality of the portfolio. As always, our strategy will consist of bottom-up, individual stock selection using the "deep value" style of investing based on the principles of Benjamin Graham, the "father of value investing." This strategy involves seeking out companies that we believe are trading below their intrinsic value. In 2003, we will continue to be opportunistic and diligently search for value globally.

(PHOTO) Note: Ivy Developing Markets Fund was managed by Moira McLachlan and the Ivy International Equities team until December 16th, 2002. At right, she discusses factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. Thomas A. Mengel, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy Developing Markets Fund on December 17th, 2002. He discusses how the Fund is positioned going forward. LIPPER CATEGORY Emerging Markets "We intend to concentrate on developing countries that possess unique opportunities of competitive advantage or niche strategies in an investor-friendly sovereign structure." Q: MOIRA, HOW DID IVY DEVELOPING MARKETS FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy Developing Markets Fund returned -17.32%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -12.28% without the sales charge. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index, which returned -6.00%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds average), which returned -5.10%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: Emerging markets fared considerably better than the world's major developed markets in 2002. At the beginning of the year, ample liquidity and hopes for a global recovery contributed to strong absolute performance. However, while the asset class continued to outperform on a relative basis, emerging equity markets were unable to shake-off turmoil in the rest of the world as the year progressed. Latin American markets suffered from a combination of global events and local crises. Stock markets in developing Asia posted mixed performance, with Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan all posting double-digit declines while smaller, more speculative markets such as Indonesia and Thailand posted gains. All the volatility caused the MSCI EMF Index to give up its first-quarter gains, and to end the year in negative territory. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: The Fund's exposure to Taiwanese technology stocks had the largest negative effect on performance. These stocks performed strongly in the last quarter of 2001 and into the first quarter of 2002. However, they then sold off sharply as investors began to worry that the increased demand seen in the first quarter would decline as inventories were rebuilt. An overweight position in Brazil also hurt performance. Socialist rhetoric from the leading presidential candidate compounded fears that problems in Argentina would spill over to the Brazilian economy. This led to a sharp sell-off in both the Brazilian equity market and its currency, the real. While the Fund's export-oriented holdings did well as a result of the weakening real, its more domestically oriented names took a hit. Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand were among the world's best performing markets in 2002. Performance suffered from lack of exposure to these high-risk markets. However, while the Fund missed out in those markets, it benefited from staying out of harm's way in Argentina, which fell 50% in dollar terms, and Venezuela, where trading has been suspended since the end of November due to a general strike designed to oust the President. Q: THOMAS, HOW WILL YOU POSITION THE FUND FOR 2003? A: Going forward, the Fund's emerging market exposure will likely be less broadly dispersed. We intend to concentrate on developing countries that possess unique opportunities of competitive advantage or niche strategies in an investor-friendly sovereign structure. We will closely monitor developments in these areas in an effort to limit risk and take advantage of exciting new investment opportunities that can emerge as these countries increase the size and efficiency of private business, often through a pro-business public policy and privatization of government-owned industry. In turn, the relative size and cost of the government sector should shrink, while the consumer and business sectors grow. In terms of stock selection, there will be an increased emphasis on strong growth characteristics as a basic requirement rather than the prior selection process that heavily favored undervalued stocks. Strong fundamental equity analysis will be the basis of our stock selection process, within the framework of our global asset allocation strategy and with important input regarding economic, financial and political issues for each specific region or country.

[PHOTO] Ivy European Opportunities Fund is sub-advised by London-based Henderson Investment Management Limited. The following is an interview with Stephen Peak, head of Henderson's Continental European Equities Team and portfolio manager of Ivy European Opportunities Fund. LIPPER CATEGORY European Region "We expect to retain a relatively cautious approach over the short- to medium-term while continuing our focus on opportunities to purchase companies that have been heavily oversold." Q: STEPHEN, HOW DID IVY EUROPEAN OPPORTUNITIES FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy European Opportunities Fund returned -8.86%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -3.30% without the sales charge. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Europe Index, which returned -18.38%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper European Region Funds average), which returned -17.36%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: The year was difficult for European equity investors. Concerns initially centered on questions about when company earnings would start to improve. However, these concerns were soon eclipsed by fears that the US economic recovery was slowing down rapidly, as well as the growing threat of war between the US and Iraq. Many investors abandoned equities in favor of the safer havens offered by government bonds. European markets did rally strongly in the fourth quarter and were boosted further as the euro rose above parity with the US dollar and hit a three-year high. Following poor economic newsflow, particularly in Germany, the European Central Bank was persuaded to cut interest rates by 0.50% to 2.75% in early December, and this gave markets an added boost. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: We made some significant changes to the portfolio over 2002 that contributed positively to performance. For example, financials experienced heavy losses during the first three quarters, which led to some woeful performance within the sector. However, this financial distress also created interesting buying opportunities. As a result, we increased exposure to the sector. This strategy had a large positive effect on performance when financials proved to be one of the key sectors that underpinned the market advance in the fourth quarter. Conversely, tobacco stocks held up well throughout the year as the defensive European tobacco sector consistently outperformed the MSCI Europe Index. Our decision to sell and take profits from tobacco stocks, made during the fourth quarter of the year, proved beneficial to Fund performance. At the time, a significant move was made to shift into more attractively valued sectors with higher growth potential. Following a period of sustained underperformance for most of 2002, the European technology sector produced some good performance during the fourth quarter as investors took advantage of compelling valuations. However, it was technology-related and traditional cyclical stocks that suffered the largest losses in December as investors, increasingly cautious about the global economic and political prospects, took profits from November's gains. We retained our cautious approach toward technology, while at the same time continuing to focus on opportunities to purchase stocks that were overly hit by negative sentiment or that had resorted to fund raising to shore up their debts. We also established positions in companies with relatively stable businesses that we felt had been ignored by overly cautious investors. Q: WHAT IS OUR OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY GOING FORWARD? A: Because of ongoing political uncertainties and sluggish economic growth prospects, the outlook for European equities in 2003 remains uncertain. Valuations are no longer at the extremely distressed levels seen last September, but they are also not at the technically overbought levels reached at the end of November. In addition, risks abound over the potential war with Iraq and inflated oil prices. However, in our opinion European valuations remain relatively attractive, and we expect the region to perform well as the recovery gathers pace. Consequently, we believe the equity market will trade within a range until greater clarity -- on the economic, political and military fronts -- emerges. We expect to retain a relatively cautious approach over the short- to medium-term while continuing our focus on opportunities to purchase companies that have been heavily oversold.

[PHOTO] Note: Ivy Global Fund utilized a dual management approach until December 16th, 2002. The international portion was managed by Moira McLachlan and the Ivy International Equities team, while the US portion was managed by Paul Baran. At right, they discuss factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. Thomas A. Mengel, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy Global Fund on December 17th, 2002. He discusses how the Fund is positioned going forward. LIPPER CATEGORY Global "Our basic stock selection approach will focus on what we feel are stable companies with impressive corporate management, in sectors best positioned for the current market environment." Q: HOW DID IVY GLOBAL FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy Global Fund returned -25.01%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -20.44% without the sales charge. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World Index, which returned -19.89%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Global Funds average), which returned -19.53%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: International markets were extremely volatile in 2002, and this contributed to the Fund's negative return. Equities around the world were dragged down by sluggish economic growth, poor corporate profits and the Iraq situation. The performance of the Fund's international portion was particularly hurt by an underweight in Japan, a market that was relatively resilient in 2002. Stock selection in Japan was another negative. A number of Japanese holdings were impacted as investors became concerned about the pace of the global recovery and the strength of external demand. Poor stock selection in the UK also had a negative impact. Stock selection in France had the most significant positive impact on performance. In the US, 2002 saw a continuation of the bear market that began in early 2000. In this challenging environment, the performance of the US portion was positively affected by our avoidance of "disaster stocks" in high-profile companies that experienced financial scandals. Performance also benefited from holdings in the banking sector, many of which rose in price during the period. Certain consumer stocks also increased in price, while others declined but still outperformed the market. In addition, underexposure to the troubled electricity merchant-area helped performance, as did our stock picks in the general energy area. Performance was negatively impacted by investments in the technology sector. AOL Time Warner also hurt performance, as did Home Depot, Schering-Plough and Bristol-Myers. Q: THOMAS, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR IVY GLOBAL FUND GOING FORWARD? A: We intend to focus more on stocks with strong growth characteristics and less on stocks that appear to be undervalued. Strong fundamental equity analysis will be the basis of our stock selection process, within the framework of our global asset allocation strategy and with important input regarding economic, financial and political issues for each region. Our basic stock selection approach will focus on what we feel are stable companies with impressive corporate management, in sectors best positioned for the current market environment. Q: WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 2003? A: We expect global equity markets to remain volatile as investors continue to monitor corporate, financial, economic and geopolitical issues. Despite a high level of financial market uncertainty early in the year, we feel that consensus earnings expectations need to be reduced further. Corporations are facing higher operating costs, but generally cannot raise output prices. In this environment of little or no corporate pricing power, we will seek investments in companies that we feel are best able to thrive. Our North American focus will be on companies with earnings that we believe are sustainable despite the risk of an Iraqi war and the possibility of weaker U.S. consumer spending. In Continental Europe, we believe that the best opportunities are likely in growth companies with defensive characteristics such as consumer product focus, impressive management, strong balance sheets, attractive dividend yields and solid competitive market position. In Britain, growth stocks should, in our opinion, still be able to benefit from the relatively strong domestic economy. Despite continuing imbalances in Japan's economy, we feel that there are still quality companies with good growth prospects, especially some of the larger exporters. In Asia, we prefer to concentrate our holdings in industry leaders that benefit from continued Chinese dominance of business demand in the region.

[PHOTO] The following is an interview with Fred Sturm, portfolio manager of Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund and member of the Mackenzie Financial Corporation investment team, the Fund's investment advisor. LIPPER CATEGORY Natural Resources "Looking at the resources sector as a whole, we believe that while stronger performance from other sectors may hold back resource stocks, economic activity should support commodity prices going forward." Q: FRED, HOW DID IVY GLOBAL NATURAL RESOURCES FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund returned -1.35%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and 4.66% without the sales charge. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Commodities-Related Index, which returned - -5.26%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Natural Resources Funds average), which returned -6.25%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: The natural resources sector held up better than the broader stock market, but it still showed disappointing results for the year. The third quarter was particularly volatile as investors worried about a possible double dip recession and the resultant downward revision in earnings expectations. However, both the market and the sector rallied in the fourth quarter. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: Although the Fund performed well relative to its benchmark and peer group, absolute performance was disappointing. This was due to two factors: broader market fears of a double-dip recession, and our somewhat early entry into the more depressed areas of the market. For example, although the Fund successfully bypassed the carnage in independent energy producers, we made some initial purchases in that area -- to take advantage of depressed prices, which in our view offered good buying opportunities -- during the year that have yet to bear fruit. However, our three-part investment strategy led to some strong relative performance throughout the year. The first part of the strategy involves anchoring the portfolio with international low-cost leaders. This led to gains in 2002 as we emphasized leading low-cost Canadian energy and Brazilian pulp producers over their US counterparts. Strong performance from world-class nickel producer Inco, a Canadian company, also helped the Fund. Augmenting the portfolio with companies adding value through exploration and development is the second part of the strategy, and this, too, helped performance. For example, our stock selection in energy services and gold focused on growth-oriented smaller companies, many of which outperformed the larger-cap producers. Finally, we seek to take advantage of commodity price trends by making subsector shifts when necessary. This yielded positive results in the precious metals and energy areas. The Fund had a proportionally larger weighting in gold (which performed strongly) than its competitors, but as gold became more expensive we reduced the Fund's gold weighting and increased exposure to energy, a move that helped performance in the first half of 2002. Q: DID THE FUND BENEFIT FROM CONSOLIDATION IN THE RESOURCES SECTOR? A: Yes. Undervalued companies often become takeover targets, and the initial benefits accrue to the target, rather than the acquirer. We were fortunate over the year to identify acquisition targets and to benefit from this trend. For example, we invested in Fording, a leading producer of metallurgical coal, and later sold at meaningful gains into a takeover bid. Q: WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY GOING FORWARD? A: We believe that both gold and oil prices, having risen in anticipation of war with Iraq, may trade lower once this issue gets more clarity. With this in mind, we reduced exposure to gold, using the proceeds to increase the Fund's weightings in forest products, but have maintained a significant energy exposure because we believe that energy stocks still have room to advance after a pullback in oil prices. Looking at the resources sector as a whole, we believe that while stronger performance from other sectors may hold back resource stocks, economic activity should support commodity prices going forward. Resource sectors also tend to perform well when currencies are under pressure. For reasons of inflation protection, portfolio diversification and return opportunities, we believe that the Fund continues to merit attention. Performance cited is for Class A shares at net asset value and at maximum sales load of 5.75%.

[PHOTO] Note: Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund was managed by James W. Broadfoot until December 16th, 2002. At right, he discusses factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. Zachary H. Shafran, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund on December 17th, 2002. He discusses how the Fund is positioned going forward. LIPPER CATEGORY Science & Technology "We intend to continue to scan the global markets in search of investments to construct a diverse investment portfolio within the science and technology areas." Q: JIM, HOW DID IVY GLOBAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund returned -49.44%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -46.36% without the sales charge. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Technology Index, which returned -39.06%, as well as its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Science and Technology Funds average), which returned -43.01%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: Economic weakness, threats of war, accounting scandals and large declines in the broader market all took their toll on the technology sector in 2002. These issues made investors extremely nervous, leading them to shun higher-risk stocks. It was no surprise, then, to see that technology and telecom were the two worst performing equity sectors in 2002. Investors did not want to hold risky assets. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: The Fund's small- and mid-cap bias had a negative impact on performance as smaller-cap, higher-risk stocks significantly underperformed larger-cap names. Performance was also negatively impacted by holdings in the semiconductor area, which tends to be one of the more volatile technology sectors. These stocks rallied in the fourth quarter, but experienced difficult second and third quarters. In 2002, corporate IT departments continued to hold back on spending, and this negatively affected some of the Fund's software holdings. For example, software companies that sell their products to retailers suffered as consumer spending declined toward the end of the period. Firm-specific issues in certain videogame holdings also hurt performance, as did an underweight in large technology companies such as Microsoft and Dell. Both comprise a large portion of the Russell 3000 Technology Index and showed better relative performance than the Fund's smaller technology holdings. On the positive side, some of the Fund's healthcare names did well. Stocks such as Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, a leading manufacturer of generic drugs, and Varian Medical Systems, a manufacturer of X-ray and oncology products, showed positive returns for the period. Consumer-related holdings also did well, despite a pullback in the fourth quarter. In addition, a number of the Fund's government- and defense-related stocks showed positive returns. Q: ZACK, WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 2003? A: Following three years of poor equity market performance, with the global science and technology sectors being particularly hard hit, many expect 2003 to be a year of recovery. But while we believe there are signs of economic recovery and market stabilization, the potential for a sharp sustained rise in corporate profits is, in our view, unlikely in the near term. The lingering effects of overcapacity, particularly in technology, have created an especially difficult competitive environment. Healthcare, particularly in the developed world is suffering from just the opposite: inflation. It is in this type of a slow growth, competitive environment that companies with the potential to grow through execution and innovation will be rewarded. Q: HOW ARE YOU POSITIONING THE PORTFOLIO GOING FORWARD? A: Upon commencing management of the Fund in late December 2002, we repositioned for increased exposure in healthcare and decreased exposure in technology. We also raised the cash reserve position. In light of our 2003 outlook, we are unable to identify a broad based "market moving" theme. We are therefore working diligently to identify individual companies that meet our investment criteria. We will likely not position the Fund to track a particular index, either by industry, subsector, or geography. Rather, we intend to continue to scan the global markets in search of investments to construct a diverse investment portfolio within the science and technology areas.

[PHOTO] Note: Ivy International Fund was managed by Moira McLachlan and the Ivy International Equities team until December 16th, 2002. At right, she discusses factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. Thomas A. Mengel, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy International Fund on December 17th, 2002. He discusses how the Fund is positioned going forward. LIPPER CATEGORY International "Strong fundamental equity analysis will be the basis of our stock selection process, within the framework of our global asset allocation strategy and with important input regarding economic, financial and political issues for each region or country." Q: MOIRA, HOW DID IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy International Fund returned -25.51%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -20.96% without the sales charge. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE index, which returned -15.94%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper International Funds average), which returned -16.67%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: International markets were extremely volatile in 2002. Fears of a double-dip recession and global deflation contributed to sharp declines interspersed with equally sharp rallies. Despite ample global liquidity and much-improved valuations, markets were impacted by sluggish economic growth, poor corporate profits and the Iraq situation. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: Performance suffered from an underweight position in Japan, a market that was relatively resilient in 2002. Our stock selection in Japan was another negative. A number of Japanese holdings were impacted as investors became concerned about the pace of the global recovery and the strength of external demand. Poor stock selection in the UK also had a negative impact. While we limited losses by eliminating exposure to "problem stocks" early in the year, we did not do so soon enough. In addition, overweights in Germany and the Netherlands hurt performance. In the third quarter, increased concerns about the solvency of European insurers contributed to sharp sell-offs in both markets, and in France. Poor equity market performance, in turn, led to forced selling by the insurers, reinforcing the downdraft. While the Fund fared better than most in France, its German and Dutch holdings took the brunt of the downturn. Stock selection in France had the most significant positive impact on performance. In contrast to the money-center banks and European insurers, French banks performed well. As a result of their domestic focus, they were insulated from problem loans to Argentina and the corporate collapses in the US that plagued more globally oriented banks. Q: THOMAS, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND GOING FORWARD? A: Strong fundamental equity analysis will be the basis of our stock selection process, within the framework of our global asset allocation strategy and with important input regarding economic, financial and political issues for each region or country. Our basic stock selection approach will focus on what we believe are stable companies with impressive corporate management, in sectors we feel are best positioned for the current market environment. Q: WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR 2003? A: We expect global equity markets to remain volatile as investors continue to monitor corporate, financial, economic and geopolitical issues. Despite a high level of financial market uncertainty early in the year, we feel that consensus earnings expectations need to be reduced further. Corporations are facing higher operating costs, but generally cannot raise output prices. In this environment of little or no corporate pricing power, we will seek investments in companies that we feel are best able to thrive. In Continental Europe, we believe that the best opportunities are likely in companies with defensive characteristics such as consumer product focus, impressive management, strong balance sheets, attractive dividend yields and solid competitive market position. In Britain, growth stocks should, in our opinion, still be able to benefit from the relatively strong domestic economy. Despite continuing imbalances in Japan's economy, we feel that there are still quality companies with good prospects, especially some of the larger exporters. In Asia, we prefer to concentrate our holdings in industry leaders that benefit from continued Chinese dominance of business demand in the region.

[PHOTO] Ivy International Small Companies Fund is sub-advised by Henderson Investment Management Limited's smaller companies team. The following is an interview with Simon Chisholm, Henderson's Associate Director of European Equities. He has led the team since September of 2002 and is responsible for the Fund's regional allocations. LIPPER CATEGORY International Small-Cap "Looking to the medium-term, we are still broadly positive but continue to be cautious about the outlook for smaller-capitalization stocks, as we believe that an improving global economic outlook will initially favor larger, more liquid stocks. In the longer term, however, we are optimistic about the chances for solid performance from the sector." Q: SIMON, HOW DID IVY INTERNATIONAL SMALL COMPANIES FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy International Small Companies Fund returned -29.51%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -25.21% without the sales charge. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Salomon Smith Barney EMI World ex-US index, which returned -7.29%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper International Small-Cap Funds average), which returned -12.13%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: It was another difficult year for global equity markets, as concerns about global growth prospects and increasing political tensions between the US and Iraq encouraged investors to seek safety in government bonds. Throughout the year, smaller companies generally outperformed their larger counterparts, but performance was still largely negative. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: Continental Europe continued to be the Fund's largest exposure throughout the year, and the region again proved to be a difficult environment for equity investors. In particular, growth stocks in Europe, an area in which the Fund has significant positions, performed poorly as valuations continued to decline. The Fund also suffered from its exposure to growth stocks in the UK, despite retaining an underweight position in this market. Following a period of strong performance in the early part of the year, the Fund's holding in Alliance Unichem, a UK pharmaceutical retailer, suffered as investors switched away from defensive sectors. Two other big negative contributors were Fitness First and the software company, Game Group, which fell sharply following unexpected profit warnings. In addition, holdings in Japan, a market in which we maintained an overweight throughout the year, also negatively impacted performance. Japan enjoyed a period of outperformance in the early part of the year, but ended 2002 with a difficult quarter that eroded much of this performance. Financial and cyclical stocks were hit hard as investors fled to the safety of more defensive sectors. Although Japanese smaller company stocks outperformed the overall market, the Fund suffered from a number of stock-specific events. For example, Konami Sports, Japan's largest fitness group and a Fund holding, saw persistent poor performance due to ongoing weak data for the stock. We later sold the stock and added to Tokyo Style, a cash-rich apparel maker that has recently become more shareholder-friendly. Q: WHAT CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE PORTFOLIO OVER THE YEAR? A: In an effort to increase the diversification of the portfolio, we entered into the Austrian market via Telekom Austria and took positions in Greece based on the expectation that the region will benefit from hosting the 2004 Olympic Games. We also took positions in the Scandinavian market via Swedish Match (tobacco) and Instrumentarium, a Finnish medical technology company. In addition, we established an exposure to what we see as a relatively low-risk and attractively valued market in New Zealand, purchasing a stake in Fisher & Paykel Appliances, a household appliance distributor. Q: WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 2003? A: Moving into 2003, our short-term outlook is that equities may be weaker as concerns continue to grow about the growing threat of war with Iraq. Looking to the medium-term, we are still broadly positive but continue to be cautious about the outlook for smaller-capitalization stocks, as we believe that an improving global economic outlook will initially favor larger, more liquid stocks. In the longer term, however, we are optimistic about the chances for solid performance from the sector. Performance cited is for Class A shares at net asset value and maximum sales load of 5.75%.

[PHOTO] Note: Ivy International Value Fund was managed by Moira McLachlan and the Ivy International Equities team until December 16th, 2002. At right, she discusses factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. Thomas A. Mengel, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy International Value Fund on December 17th, 2002. He discusses how the Fund is positioned going forward. LIPPER CATEGORY International "We will continue to focus on what we believe are companies with impressive management, good cash flow, attractive dividend yields and strong balance sheets in situations where we believe the companies' underlying assets are undervalued." Q: MOIRA, HOW DID IVY INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy International Value Fund returned -20.77%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -15.93% without the sales charge. This compares to the Fund's benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned -15.94%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper International Funds average), which returned -16.67%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: Market conditions were exceptionally volatile. Value stocks continued to outperform the broader market through the first half of the year. However, in the third quarter, market leadership shifted, with value stocks underperforming for the first time since the beginning of the bear market. This shift in leadership was largely due to the predominance of financials and industrials (both sectors that performed particularly poorly during the quarter) in the value universe. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: The Fund's French holdings made the largest positive contribution. In addition to consumer holdings, which performed strongly, performance benefited from outsized exposure to French banks. In contrast to the money-center banks and the European insurers, French banks performed well. An overweight position in basic materials also made a positive contribution. Commodity prices changed course in 2002 after sharp declines in 2001, contributing to strong performance for many stocks in this sector. The Fund's positions in commodity producers realized solid gains. To help offset volatility, we also maintained a substantial overweight in consumer staples, which helped performance. Unfortunately, what we got right in 2002 was largely offset by what we got wrong. A combination of poor stock selection in Japan and an underweight in that market hurt performance. Throughout the year, we maintained the underweight position in Japan based on our belief that periodic market rallies would be short-lived, as we felt little was being done to address the country's underlying structural problems. Despite the host of problems the Japanese economy faces, its stock market proved considerably more resilient than other major markets in 2002. Q: THOMAS, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY GOING FORWARD? A: In mid-2002, the Fund responded to higher financial market uncertainties by focusing on higher quality companies that were still reasonably priced. Going forward, we will continue to focus on what we believe are companies with impressive management, good cash flow, attractive dividend yields and strong balance sheets in situations where we believe the companies' underlying assets are undervalued. Q: What is your outlook for 2003? A: Global equity markets are expected to remain volatile as investors continue to monitor corporate, financial, economic and geopolitical issues. Despite a high level of financial market uncertainty early in the year, we feel that consensus earnings expectations need to be reduced further. Corporations are facing higher operating costs, but generally cannot raise output prices. Questions remain regarding U.S. employment and consumer sentiment, which is a critical end-market for much of the world's exports. Consumer demand is extremely weak in core Europe, and appears to be finally moderating in the faster-pace economies of Britain, Canada, South Korea and Australia where, as in the United States, spectacular housing demand has been a significant economic boost. We believe there is some potential for further interest rate cuts, especially in Continental Europe where economic growth has stalled and inflation trends could potentially improve before mid-year. Asian economies are relatively better positioned for domestic growth, and regional trade remains impressive. Weak capital spending plans are restraining global growth, a combined result of excess high-tech capacity and Iraqi war concerns. There is hope that visibility will soon improve for these two important business and sentiment issues. Performance cited is for Class A shares at net asset value and at maximum sales load of 5.75%.

We believe that our refocusing of the Fund will allow us to take better advantage of investment opportunities in the region as we move forward." Q: MOIRA, HOW DID IVY PACIFIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund returned -16.41%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -11.31% without the sales charge. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Asia Pacific Free Ex-Japan index, which returned -5.09%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Pacific Ex-Japan Funds average), which returned -7.98%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: While ex-Japan Asia was a relative outperformer in 2002, most regional stock markets finished the year in negative territory. Stocks were depressed by sluggish economic growth and turmoil in the US and European markets. The major Asian markets fell heavily, with Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan all posting double-digit declines. However, a number of the smaller, more speculative markets posted gains. Despite a sharp sell-off after the Bali disco bombing, the Indonesia market ended the year in positive territory. The Thai market gained around 17% and the Pakistani market was up over 100%. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: An overweight position in Taiwanese technology stocks had a negative impact on performance. These stocks performed strongly in the last quarter of 2001 and into the first quarter of 2002. However, they then sold off sharply as investors worried about a recovery in end-user demand. While we locked in some gains early in the year, performance suffered from not cutting the Fund's exposure further than we did. The Fund's exposure to Hong Kong financials also hurt performance. Interest rate sensitive stocks in Hong Kong -- banks and property stocks -- came under pressure as investors worried that an Argentine-style default in Brazil would prove the final blow to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US currency. Stock selection in Australia made the most significant positive contribution to performance. As commodity prices recovered from the sharp declines of 2001, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in commodity producers. The Fund also benefited from exposure to Australian banks, which did not suffer the credit-quality problems plaguing other developed-market banks. In South Korea, performance benefited from both an overweight position and good stock selection. The Korean market performed well due to financial sector reform, attractive valuations and strong growth in domestic consumption. Korean exporters also posted solid gains as a result, in part, of strong demand from China. Q: THOMAS, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY GOING FORWARD? A: The Fund will likely be less concentrated in the future, as we increase the number of holdings and thereby reduce the average weighting of each stock. Along with this broader dispersion, we will reduce exposure to the technology sector in an effort to reduce volatility. We intend to concentrate on the core Asian markets of Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Australia and Taiwan, with particular focus on industry leaders that we believe benefit most from the continued Chinese dominance of business demand in the region. During our gradual process of restructuring this Fund its cash position may be slightly higher than what we would consider normal, but only until the transition is completed. Q: WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REGION? A: Global equity markets are expected to remain volatile as investors continue to monitor corporate, financial, economic and geopolitical issues. However, we feel that Asian economies are better positioned for domestic growth than many other markets, and regional trade remains impressive. We believe that our refocusing of the Fund will allow us to take better advantage of investment opportunities in the region as we move forward.

[PHOTO] Note: Ivy Growth Fund utilized a dual management approach until December 16th, 2002. The large-cap portion was managed by Paul Baran, while the small/mid-cap portion was managed by James W. Broadfoot. At right, they discuss factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. Antonio Intagliata, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy Growth Fund on December 17th, 2002. He discusses how the Fund is positioned going forward. LIPPER CATEGORY Multi-Cap Growth "After a detailed analysis of the portfolio, we decided to: (1) significantly reduce the number of holdings so that each stock would have more of an impact on the Fund, and (2) select fewer small-cap stocks and a greater amount of medium- and large-cap stocks." Q: HOW DID IVY GROWTH FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy Growth Fund returned -32.78%,including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -28.68% without the sales charge. The Fund underperformed its bench-mark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which returned - -28.03%,and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds average), which returned -29.92%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE OVER THE PERIOD? A: Until mid-December, the Fund was divided into two portions: one consisting of small/mid-cap stocks, and the other consisting of large-cap stocks. Performance in the large-cap portion was negatively affected by holdings in the technology sector. However, losses in technology were offset to a degree by exposure to banks and other financial stocks, many of which rose in price during the period. Certain consumer stocks also increased in price, while others declined but still outperformed the market. This had a large positive impact on relative performance. Our stock picks in the general energy area also had a positive effect on performance. Performance in the small/mid-cap portion was negatively affected by our focus on stocks with higher expected growth rates and price-to-earnings ratios, which underperformed more conservative, slower-growth stocks last year. Specifically, minimal exposure to slower-growth areas such as finance, consumer staples and materials, all of which outperformed, hurt the portfolio. An underweight in the top-performing financials sector had the largest negative effect. Holdings in healthcare and business services also negatively affected performance. The portfolio's consumer-related holdings did well as they benefited from strong consumer demand throughout most of the year. In addition, select holdings in network security, waste management and natural gas contributed positively to relative performance. Q: TONY, HOW ARE YOU POSITIONING THE PORTFOLIO GOING FORWARD? A: After a detailed analysis of the portfolio, we decided to: (1) significantly reduce the number of holdings so that each stock would have more of an impact on the Fund, and (2) select fewer small-cap stocks and a greater amount of medium- and large-cap stocks. In terms of sectors, while geopolitical considerations continue to make gold and energy the two focus areas, we believe the next leadership will come from the cyclical groups. Due to our economic and market outlook -- a weak economy, sluggish capital spending, and modest GDP growth and equity returns -- we favor a large exposure to healthcare, based on the sector's demographics and pricing power. We also favor defense stocks. We believe that defense spending will likely continue at a lower pace than 2002. However, the defense cycle is a long-term cycle and we believe the stocks are attractive fundamentally and on a price basis. They have visible earnings growth and have corrected recently. We have underweighted technology, but not by a huge amount. In technology, fundamentals are still poor, but the sector seems over-sold on a technical basis. Oil is a risky area, but we believe that an average weight makes sense, based on a tight supply and, eventually, an increasing global demand. Particular emphasis should be in the natural gas area. Financials will continue to be de-emphasized as, if expected, interest rates move up later in the year. We believe that these strategies have the Fund well-positioned for the year ahead.

[PHOTO] An interview with Paul Baran, portfolio manager of the Ivy US Blue Chip Fund. NOTE: EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 2003, IVY US BLUE CHIP FUND WILL BE MANAGED BY JIM WINELAND OF WADDELL & Reed Ivy Investment Company. LIPPER CATEGORY Large-Cap Core "We believe that most, if not all, of the corporate excesses have been wrung out after three years of declines. We think we'll see higher earnings growth and modest GDP growth in the year ahead." Q: PAUL, HOW DID IVY US BLUE CHIP FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy US Blue Chip Fund returned -26.29%,including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -21.79% without the sales charge. This compares to the Fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned -22.10%,and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds average), which returned - -23.48%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and the Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: Last year saw a continuation of the bear market that began in early 2000, and it also marked the first time since 1939 that the US experienced three consecutive years of declining markets. Weak economic conditions and the boom in financial fraud negatively affected corporate earnings, which, in turn, caused the market to reprice itself lower. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: Given the challenging market environment, we took steps to help reduce risk and improve performance. First, we increased the number of holdings in an effort to minimize the effect of any individual stock. Second, we actively traded by taking gains when appropriate and making purchases when we felt stocks were unfairly punished. These strategies, combined with our avoidance of "disaster stocks" in high-profile companies that experienced financial scandals, were the primary factors driving performance. Unfortunately, the Fund still showed a negative return for the year, with performance impacted by a few factors. Investments in the technology sector had the largest negative effect. Holdings such as Texas Instruments, Applied Materials and Intel all declined further than the market. AOL Time Warner also hurt performance, as did Home Depot, Schering-Plough and Bristol Myers. On the positive side, performance benefited from holdings in the banking sector, many of which rose in price during the period. Certain consumer stocks, such as Procter & Gamble and Anheuser Busch, also increased in price, while others -- Wal-Mart, PepsiCo and Philip Morris -- declined but still outperformed the market. This had a large positive impact on performance relative to the benchmark. In addition, underexposure to the troubled electricity merchant-area helped performance, as did our stock picks in the general energy area. Q: WHAT CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE PORTFOLIO? A: Throughout the year, we increased exposure to defense-related companies, many of which did well in anticipation of a possible war with Iraq. Lockheed Martin and United Technologies both outperformed the market and contributed positively to performance. In terms of general strategy, we adhered to our long-term approach of staying fully invested and sector-neutral. Our focus remained on stock selection and, unlike many of the Fund's competitors, Ivy US Blue Chip Fund did not hold large amounts of cash. Q: WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK GOING FORWARD? A: We are optimistic as we enter 2003. Interest rates are unlikely to rise, and we believe that most, if not all, of the corporate excesses have been wrung out after three years of declines. We think we'll see higher earnings growth and modest GDP growth in the year ahead. In our opinion, all of these factors, as well as recent government proposals for tax reform, could lead to better equity returns in 2003. As markets settle during the year, we may reduce the number of holdings and increase our weightings on attractive stocks. We also intend to continue to stay fully invested, sector-neutral and focused on stock selection. In our view, these steps have the Fund well positioned for 2003.

[PHOTO] Note: Ivy US Emerging Growth Fund was managed by James W. Broadfoot until December 16th, 2002. At right, he discusses factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. Kimberly A. Scott, Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy US Emerging Growth Fund on December 17th, 2002. She discusses how the Fund is positioned going forward. LIPPER CATEGORY Mid-Cap Growth "In a market in which no one sector is likely to lead for a prolonged period of time, we believe that balance across sectors and holding more rather than fewer names is the best approach." Q: JIM, HOW DID IVY US EMERGING GROWTH FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy US Emerging Growth Fund returned -41.28%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge, and -37.70% without the sales charge. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index, which returned - -29.09%, as well as its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds average), which returned -28.33%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: It was a difficult year for growth stocks, particularly for those with higher expected growth rates and price-to-earnings ratios. As the year ended, these stocks were weighed down by uncertain economic conditions, continuing threats of terrorism and a potential war with Iraq. In this environment, investors were not willing to give as much credit for future growth expectations as they might have in more stable times. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: Performance was negatively affected by our focus on high-beta (higher risk and expected growth) stocks, which underperformed last year. Specifically, lack of exposure to slower-growth areas such as finance, consumer staples and materials hurt the Fund as many of these sectors outperformed. An underweight in the top-performing financials sector had the largest negative effect. Holdings in the healthcare sector also negatively impacted performance. We added these stocks for their defensive qualities, but many underperformed in 2002, mostly for political reasons. Pharmaceuticals suffered as government scrutiny of the industry increased, and biotechnology companies had problems with the Food & Drug Administration's slow approval process and continued absence of leadership. Some healthcare holdings, such as Varian Medical Systems, did well, but the overall effect was negative. In addition, holdings in the business services sector hurt performance. As geopolitical concerns mounted, most corporations became hesitant to spend. On the positive side, consumer spending remained strong throughout most of the year, and this had a positive impact on the Fund's consumer-related holdings. Consumer stocks that did well included The University of Phoenix Online and Weight Watchers International. Outside the consumer area, holdings in certain network security, waste management and natural gas companies also did well. Q: KIM, WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 2003? A: We believe that stable to rising earnings in the context of a much more reasonably valued stock market should produce moderate gains in stocks over the course of 2003. While geopolitical issues should lead to continued volatility, we think that a combination of low interest rates and benign inflation will likely provide stock market valuation support. However, we believe that corporate operating earnings must continue to strengthen, preferably as a result of renewed revenue growth, to allow the stock market to move appreciably higher. Q: WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY GOING FORWARD? A: In a market in which no one sector is likely to lead for a prolonged period of time, we believe that balance across sectors and holding more rather than fewer names is the best approach. We think the current environment requires a keen focus on specific stocks, as we feel it is those companies that have strong management teams, strong balance sheets, and real and sustainable earnings profiles that investors will continue to favor. In terms of sectors, we intend to emphasize those that we believe to have greater potential for growth, including healthcare, technology, and consumer and related areas, but we are unlikely to deviate significantly from the sector weightings in the mid-cap growth index. We believe that these strategies will have the Fund well-positioned for the year ahead. Performance cited is for Class A shares at net asset value and maximum sales load of 5.75%.

[PHOTO] Note: Ivy Bond Fund was managed by Richard Gluck until December 16th, 2002. At right, he discusses factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. James C. Cusser, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy Bond Fund on December 17th, 2002. He discusses how the Fund is positioned going forward. LIPPER CATEGORY Corporate Debt BBB-Rated "We believe that the government will join the household sector in spending and boosting economic prospects, and that corporations will begin to spend hand in hand with their prospects for profitability." Q: RICHARD, HOW DID IVY BOND FUND PERFORM IN 2002? A: For 2002,Ivy Bond Fund returned 4.30%, including the impact of the maximum sales charge,and 9.49% without the sales charge. This compares to the Fund's benchmark,the Lehman Brothers US Credit Index, which returned 10.53%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper Corporate Debt BBB-Rated Funds average), which returned 7.35%. It should be noted that the benchmark index and Lipper category do not reflect sales charges. Q: HOW WERE MARKET CONDITIONS? A: The past year was extremely difficult for the corporate bond market. Accounting scandals at some of the country's largest companies shook investor confidence and diminished their faith in corporate America. As more and more corporations came out with disturbing revelations, the merest hint of any problem, real or perceived, could destroy a company's bonds in a matter of days, if not hours. Volatility was also caused by the realization that US corporations had over-leveraged themselves during the 1990s, borrowing to buy back stock and to invest in businesses (fixed and wireless telecom companies, merchant power generators and others) perceived to have enormous future returns -- returns that, for many, never materialized. Q: WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE? A: Performance was hurt by light exposure to noncorporate holdings, an area that outperformed. In addition, the Fund was concentrated in BBB-rated corporate bonds, which underperformed higher-rated corporate bonds in 2002. This helps to explain why the Fund underperformed its benchmark, which contains a more diverse range of debt issues. On the positive side, the Fund's focus on value situations helped it avoid companies involved in the over-leveraging and excessive capital-spending trend. The Fund did not hold troubled names involved in financial scandals, and this significantly helped performance. The Fund also did not hold many electric utilities, which were the worst performing sector in the bond market. However, the Fund did hold CalPine, which had a negative effect on performance. In addition,the Fund was not exposed to the hardest-hit telecom names,focusing instead on companies with stronger fundamentals such as Verizon and Poland's TPSA. Performance also benefited from an overweight in the consumer sector, which showed resilience for most of the year despite uncertain economic conditions, and from large healthcare holdings such as McKesson and Health Care Corporation of America. In addition, holdings in REITS (real estate investment trusts), energy and home construction benefited performance. Holdings in Delta Airlines, which announced higher-than-expected losses in the third quarter, and Ford Motors hurt performance. Q: JIM, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR 2003? A: In the past, Ivy Bond Fund has been comprised almost entirely of corporate bonds. Corporate bonds will still play a major role, but we will most likely add a greater number of mortgage-backed securities, Treasury bonds and other types of debt securities. However, much depends on market conditions. Q: WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 2003? A: The Federal Reserve reduced interest rates to a historically low 1.25% in the fourth quarter. Of course, the Fed can only bring the "horse to water"; making the economy "drink" is up to the economy's investors -- households, corporations, and governments. We believe that the government will join the household sector in spending and boosting economic prospects,and that corporations will begin to spend hand in hand with their prospects for profitability. We also believe that the household's continued spending, governmental deficits, and the return of corporate confidence bode: higher interest rates in 2003, higher corporate profitability, tighter corporate spreads and a continuing steep yield curve. We will closely monitor these factors as we position the Fund for the year ahead. Performance cited is for Class A shares at net asset value and at maximum sales load of 4.75%.

[PHOTO] Note: Ivy Money Market Fund was managed by Richard Gluck until December 16th, 2002. Mira Stevovich, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy Money Market Fund on December 17th, 2002. The Fund's manager actively monitors the portfolio on a daily basis, while searching out attractive investments within the money market universe to provide investors with a competitive yield. INVESTMENT STRATEGY In pursuit of its objective, Ivy Money Market Fund invests in money market instruments maturing within 13 months or less and maintains a portfolio with a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less. While there are no guarantees, the Fund's emphasis on securities with relatively short-term maturities is designed to enable the Fund to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. However, it is important to note that the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Thus, although the Fund manager seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS The Fund is invested in U.S. dollar-denominated, high-quality money market obligations and instruments, including debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.government. CREDIT QUALITY The value of Ivy Money Market Fund's investments and the income they generate will vary daily and generally reflect market conditions, interest rates and other issue specific, political or economic developments. The Fund's debt investments are required to present minimal credit risk and be included in one of the two highest short-term rating categories that apply to debt securities. Within this environment,the Fund's manager actively monitors the portfolio on a daily basis, while searching out attractive investments within the money market universe to provide investors with a competitive yield.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the financial statements includes the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SECURITY VALUATION -- Securities traded on a U.S. or foreign stock exchange, or The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") system, are valued at the last quoted sale price reported as of the close of regular trading on the market on which the security is traded most extensively. If there were no sales on the market on which the security is traded most extensively and the security is traded on more than one market, or on one or more exchanges in the over-the-counter market, the market reflecting the last quoted sale will be used. Otherwise, the security is valued at the calculated mean between the last bid and asked price on the market on which the security is traded most extensively. Securities not traded on an exchange or Nasdaq, but traded in another over-the-counter market are valued at the calculated mean between the last bid and the last asked price in such markets. Short-term obligations and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations and commercial paper) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"), which determines valuations based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities, or on the basis of dealer quotes. All other securities or groups of securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income, net of foreign withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Corporate actions on foreign securities, including dividends, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are calculated on an identified cost basis. CASH -- The Funds classify as cash amounts on deposit with the Funds' custodian. These amounts earn interest at variable interest rates. At December 31, 2002, the interest rate was 0.60%. Amounts classified as Due to Custodian at period end represent bank overdrafts. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Funds intend to qualify for tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision has been recorded for Federal income or excise taxes. The following funds earned foreign source dividends that were subject to foreign withholding tax in the amounts noted below. The funds intend to elect to pass through to their shareholders their proportionate share of such taxes. Shareholders may report their share of foreign taxes paid as either a tax credit or itemized deduction.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid monthly for Bond. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for Money Market. Distributions from net investment income for all other Funds and distributions from realized gains for all Funds, if any, are declared in December. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- Foreign currency transactions from foreign investment activity are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of securities and dividends and interest receivable, are translated at the closing daily rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities are translated at the rate at which related foreign contracts are obtained or at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses from currency translation of other assets and liabilities, if significant, are reported as a separate component of Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment transactions. Foreign transactions may involve risks not typically associated with domestic transactions including, but not limited to, unanticipated movements in exchange rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets and the possibility of political and economic instability. For foreign securities, the Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investment securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of such securities. For tax reporting purposes, Code Section 988 provides that gains and losses on certain transactions attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates must be treated as ordinary income or loss. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds (excluding Money Market) may use forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage the Fund's foreign currency exposure. The U.S. dollar market value, contract value and the foreign currencies that each fund has committed to buy or sell are shown in the Schedule of Investments, as applicable. These amounts represent the aggregate exposure to each foreign currency acquired or hedged through forward foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2002. Forward foreign currency contracts are reflected as both a forward foreign currency contract to buy and a forward foreign currency contract to sell. Forward foreign currency contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while forward foreign currency contracts to sell are used to hedge investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a forward foreign currency contract to buy or sell can offset a previously acquired opposite forward foreign currency contract. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily. The change in a contract's market value is recorded by a fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund's securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. These forward foreign currency contracts involve market risk in excess of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward foreign currency contracts reflected in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although forward foreign currency contracts used for hedging purposes limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. OPTIONS -- An option is a right to buy or sell a particular security at a specified price within a limited period of time. The buyer of the option, in return for a premium paid to the seller, has the right to buy, in the case of a call option, or sell, in the case of a put option, the underlying security of the contract. An option on a stock index gives the purchaser the right to receive from the seller cash equal to the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option. The Fund, as writer of a covered call option, has no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities underlying the written option. By writing a covered call option, the Fund is obligated to own or have the right to acquire, through exchange or conversion, the underlying security during the option period. 98 December 31, 2002 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Certain Funds may invest in option contracts for the purpose of increasing or decreasing the exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other factors that affect the value of the Fund's securities. When the fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or a liability. The asset or liability is subsequently marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire on the stipulated expiration date or as a result of the Fund entering into a closing purchase transaction are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains (or losses if the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received upon the original sale) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of purchase or proceeds of the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss on the transaction. Exchange traded written options are valued daily at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the calculated mean of the last bid and the last asked price. Transactions in written covered call options or purchased put options, if any, are reflected in the Schedules of Investments. Transactions in call options written for the year ended December 31, 2002 were: NUMBER OF PREMIUMS CONTRACTS RECEIVED GLOBAL Options outstanding at December 31, 2001 40 $ 4,883 Options written - - Options terminated in closing purchase transactions (10) (875) Options expired (30) (4,008) Options exercised - - ---------------------- Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 - $ - ====================== SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY Options outstanding at December 31, 2001 - $ - Options written 132 28,823 Options terminated in closing purchase transactions - - Options expired - - Options exercised - - ---------------------- Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 132 $ 28,823 ====================== INTERNATIONAL Options outstanding at December 31, 2001 401,110 $1,041,190 Options written - - Options terminated in closing purchase transactions (2,378) (208,027) Options expired (398,732) (833,163) Options exercised - - ---------------------- Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 - $ - ====================== NUMBER OF PREMIUMS CONTRACTS RECEIVED INTERNATIONAL VALUE Options outstanding at December 31, 2001 43,650 $ 78,077 Options written - - Options terminated in closing purchase transactions - - Options expired (43,650) (78,077) Options exercised - - ---------------------- Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 - $ - ====================== GROWTH Options outstanding at December 31, 2001 790 $ 274,091 Options written 546 111,606 Options terminated in closing purchase transactions (182) (79,091) Options expired (918) (237,674) Options exercised (236) (68,932) ---------------------- Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 - $ - ====================== EMERGING GROWTH Options outstanding at December 31, 2001 943 $ 333,190 Options written 483 97,986 Options terminated in closing purchase transactions (199) (87,030) Options expired (962) (258,636) Options exercised (265) (85,510) ---------------------- Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 - $ - ====================== Transactions in put options purchased for the year ended December 31, 2002 were: SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY Options outstanding at December 31, 2001 - $ - Options purchased 58 12,294 Options terminated in closing purchase transactions - - Options expired - - Options exercised - - ---------------------- Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 58 $ 12,294 ====================== SECURITIES LENDING -- Boston Global Advisors ("BGA") as lending agent, may loan the securities of designated Funds to certain qualified institutions approved by the Funds. For securities loaned, collateral values for domestic and foreign securities are maintained at not less than 102% and 105%, respectively, of the value of the securities on loan by pricing both the securities on loan and the collateral daily. The collateral consists of cash invested in the Quality Portfolio of the Boston Global Investment Trust ("Trust") which consists predominantly of collateral pledged by borrowers in securities lending transactions arranged by BGA. The Trust invests in money market instruments, U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper and other highly rated, liquid investments. Securities' lending, as with other extensions of credit, involves the risk that the borrower may default. Although securities loaned will be fully collateralized at all times, the Funds may experience delays in, or may be prevented from, recovering the collateral. During the period that the Funds seek to enforce their rights against the borrower, the collateral and securities loaned remain subject to fluctuation in market value. For the year ended December 31, 2002, International and International Value received $245,916 and $51,834, respectively, in income, net of related expenses, resulting from securities lending activities which is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Securities on loan as of December 31, 2002 are indicated in the Schedule of Investments. 99 December 31, 2002 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES -- Organization expenses incurred prior to the effectiveness of Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities" for International Value have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period. REDEMPTION FEES -- Each Fund (other than Money Market) may deduct a redemption or exchange fee of 2.00% from any redemption or exchange proceeds if a shareholder sells or exchanges Class A shares after holding them less than 30 days. These fees are paid to the Fund rather than the investment adviser or transfer agent and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading. Fees collected by the Fund are recorded as additions to capital paid-in and are included in the Class A fund share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. As presented in gross dollars and per average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Funds received the following redemption fees: YEAR ENDING PER SHARE FUND 12/31/02 12/31/02 Cundill $ 62 $ - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Developing Markets 30 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- European Opportunities 128,514 0.02 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Global 66,770 0.08 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Natural Resources 67,653 0.03 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Science & Technology 2,538 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- International 585,021 0.03 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Small Companies 96 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- International Value 216,857 0.03 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pacific Opportunities 26,064 0.02 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Growth 2,113 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Blue Chip 105 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Emerging Growth 1,569 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Bond 307,897 0.05 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- RECLASSIFICATIONS -- The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with Federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to net operating losses, capital loss carryovers, wash sales, option transactions, foreign denominated securities, passive foreign investment companies and non-deductible organization expenses, if applicable. As a result, Net investment income (loss) and Net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly in amount and character from distributions during such period. Accordingly, each of the Funds may make reclassifications among certain of their capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of each respective Fund. 2. RELATED PARTIES Until December 31, 2002, Ivy Management, Inc. ("IMI") provided business management services to the Funds and was the Investment Adviser to all Funds other than Natural Resources. Effective December 16, 2002, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. ("Waddell & Reed"), a U.S. mutual fund firm, completed its acquisition of the entire operation of Mackenzie Investment Management Inc. ("MIMI"). At this time, Ivy Acquisition Corporation ("IAC") was formed as a registered investment adviser. On December 31, 2002, IMI merged into IAC and IAC changed its name to Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company ("WRIICO"), the Funds' current investment adviser. WRIICO and Ivy Mackenzie Distributors, Inc. ("IMDI"), the Funds' distributor, are now indirect subsidiaries of Waddell & Reed. For its services, WRIICO receives a fee paid monthly based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following annual rates: Cundill (1) 1.00% International Value 1.00% Developing Markets 1.00% Pacific Opportunities 1.00% Natural Resources (2) 1.00% Blue Chip 0.75% Science & Technology 1.00% Emerging Growth 0.85% Small Companies (3) 1.00% Money Market 0.40% For certain funds, the annual rates decrease as overall ANA increases.

WRIICO, not the Fund, is obligated to compensate the sub-advisor. (2) For Natural Resources, Mackenzie Financial Corporation ("MFC") is the investment advisor of the Fund. MFC receives a fee monthly at the annual rate of 0.50% of ADNA. The fee is collected from the Fund and remitted to MFC by WRIICO. (3) Henderson Investment Management Limited is the sub-advisor of the Funds. WRIICO, not the Funds, is obligated to compensate the sub-advisor. For the year ended December 31, 2002, with respect to Cundill, Developing Markets, Global, Natural Resources, Science & Technology, Small Companies, and Pacific Opportunities, WRIICO contractually limited each Fund's total operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 fees and certain other expenses) to an annual rate of 1.95% of each Fund's ANA. For the year ended December 31, 2002 with respect to International Value, Blue Chip and Money Market, WRIICO voluntarily limits each Fund's total operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 fees and certain other expenses) to annual rates of 1.50%, 1.34% and .85%, respectively. 100 December 31, 2002 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Effective November 1, 2001 through the one-year period ended October 31, 2002, IMI, now WRIICO had contractually agreed to waive 12% of the 1.00% annual management fee for European Opportunities. MIMI provided certain administrative, accounting and pricing services for each Fund. Effective December 17, 2002, IAC, now WRIICO assumed all of MIMI's duties under the Fund Accounting Services Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement. For those services, each Fund pays WRIICO fees plus certain out-of-pocket expenses. Such fees and expenses are reflected as Administrative services fee and Fund accounting in each Fund's Statement of Operations. At December 31, 2002, WRIICO owned approximately 9% of Cundill's shares outstanding. IMDI, a wholly owned subsidiary of WRIICO, is the underwriter and distributor of each Fund's shares, and as such, purchases shares from each Fund at net asset value to settle orders from investment dealers. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the net amount of underwriting discount retained by IMDI is listed below.

CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") previously served as the independent accountants of Ivy Fund (the "Fund"). On December 16, 2002, PwC resigned as the Fund's independent accountants on the basis that it was no longer "independent" of the Fund within the meaning of the professional standards applicable to independent accountants. This loss of independence was caused by the change of control of the Fund's investment adviser, which took place on December 16, 2002. The decision to change independent accountants was recommended by the Audit Committee of the Fund's Board of Trustees and approved by the Board. PwC's reports on the Fund's financial statements for the two fiscal years prior to their resignation contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. In connection with its audits for those two periods and through PwC's resignation on December 16, 2002, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in its reports on the Fund's financial statements for such years. On December 17, 2002, the Audit Committee of the Fund's Board of Trustees recommended and the Board approved Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Fund's new independent accountants, effective as of December 16, 2002, for the Fund's fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. 108 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Ivy Fund: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund, Ivy Developing Markets Fund, Ivy European Opportunities Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund, Ivy International Small Companies Fund, Ivy International Value Fund, Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund, Ivy Growth Fund, Ivy US Blue Chip Fund, Ivy US Emerging Growth Fund, Ivy Bond Fund and Ivy Money Market Fund (collectively the "Funds") comprising Ivy Fund, as of December 31, 2002, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the fiscal year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial statements and the financial highlights of the Funds for each of the periods presented in the four-year period ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated February 8, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of each of the respective Funds comprising Ivy Fund as of December 31, 2002, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the fiscal year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Ivy International Growth Fund was managed by Moira McLachlan and the Ivy International Equities Team until December 16th, 2002. At right, she discusses factors relating to Fund performance in 2002. Thomas A. Mengel, Senior Vice President of Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company, assumed management of Ivy International Growth Fund on December 17th, 2002. The Fund was liquidated in February, 2003. LIPPER CATEGORY International "Market conditions were extremely volatile in 2002, continuing a trend seen in the previous two years." Q: Moira, how did Ivy International Growth Fund perform in 2002? A: For 2002, Ivy International Growth Fund returned -28.46%.* The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, which returned - -16.02%, and its peer group (as measured by the Lipper International Funds average), which returned -16.67%. Q: How were market conditions? A: Market conditions were extremely volatile in 2002, continuing a trend seen in the previous two years. Fears of a double-dip recession and global deflation contributed to sharp declines periodically interspersed with equally sharp rallies. Despite ample global liquidity and much-improved valuations, sluggish economic growth, poor corporate profits and fears about the possible fallout from potential military action in Iraq all contributed to a significant drop in international markets over the course of the year. Q: What factors affected performance? A: Two growth-oriented sectors were particularly hard hit by market volatility: information technology, which was affected by the slowdown in corporate spending, and consumer electronics, which suffered from downward pressure on pricing. Unfortunately, the Fund was overweight in both of these sectors, and this had a significantly negative effect on performance. Holdings in the consumer electronics area suffered the worst declines and had the single largest negative effect. The Fund was also negatively impacted by lack of exposure to traditional defensive sectors such as consumer staples and utilities. Minimal exposure to energy, which was one of the few bright spots last year as oil stocks and oil prices rallied in response to the Iraq situation, also hurt performance. And while the Fund had some exposure to basic materials, a sector that did well, it was not enough to offset the losses experienced in consumer electronics and information technology. On the positive side, an underweight in Sweden and in the financials sector helped performance. The latter helped the Fund avoid dramatic declines in European insurers and banks. Performance cited is for Advisor Class shares at net asset value. (The Fund has no A, B or C shares outstanding. Advisor Class shares do not carry a sales charge.) The opinions expressed in this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The managers' views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and no forecasts can be guaranteed.

IVY INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 Ivy International Growth Fund (the "Fund"), is a diversified series of shares of Ivy Fund. The shares of beneficial interest are assigned no par value and an unlimited number of shares of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Advisor Class are authorized. As of December 31, 2002, only Advisor Class shares have been issued. Ivy Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 21, 1983 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the financial statements includes the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SECURITY VALUATION - Securities traded on a U.S. or foreign stock exchange, or The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. ("Nasdaq") system, are valued at the last quoted sale price reported as of the close of regular trading on the market on which the security is traded most extensively. If there were no sales on the market on which the security is traded most extensively and the security is traded on more than one market, or on one or more exchanges in the over-the-counter market, the market reflecting the last quoted sale will be used. Otherwise, the security is valued at the calculated mean between the last bid and asked price on the market on which the security is traded most extensively. Securities not traded on an exchange or Nasdaq, but traded in another over-the-counter market are valued at the calculated mean between the last bid and the last asked price in such markets. Short-term obligations and commercial paper are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations and commercial paper) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"), which determines valuations based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities, or on the basis of dealer quotes. All other securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board; as of December 31, 2002, there were no Board valued securities. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Corporate actions on foreign securities, including dividends, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are calculated on an identified cost basis. CASH - The Fund classifies as cash amounts on deposit with the Fund's custodian. These amounts earn interest at variable interest rates. At December 31, 2002, the interest rate was 0.60%. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - The Fund intends to qualify for tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and IVY INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision has been recorded for Federal income or excise taxes. Because Federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, income and capital gain distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. These differences are primarily attributed to wash sales and non-deductible deferred offering costs. Accordingly, the character of distributions for tax purposes differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions of $2,148 during the year ended December 31, 2002 were characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes. The net unrealized depreciation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2002 was as follows: Unrealized appreciation $ 5,803 Unrealized depreciation (76,566) ---------- Net unrealized depreciation (70,763) ========== There was no undistributed ordinary income at December 31, 2002 for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. The Fund earned $5,723 in foreign source dividends that were subject to $709 in foreign withholding tax. The Fund intends to elect to pass through to the shareholders their proportionate share of such taxes. Shareholders may report their share of foreign taxes paid as either a tax credit or itemized deduction. The Fund has a net tax-basis capital loss carryover of approximately $177,000 as of December 31, 2002, which may be applied against any realized net taxable gain of each succeeding fiscal year until fully utilized or until the expiration date, whichever occurs first. Approximately $123,000 of the carryover expires in 2009 and approximately $54,000 expires in 2010. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Distributions from net investment income and realized gain, if any, are declared in December. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - Foreign currency transactions from foreign investment activity are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of securities and dividends and interest receivable are translated at the closing daily rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities are translated at the rate at which related foreign contracts are obtained or at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses from currency translation of other assets and liabilities, if significant, are reported as a IVY INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 separate component of Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment transactions. Foreign transactions may involve risks not typically associated with domestic transactions including, but not limited to, unanticipated movements in exchange rates, the degree of government supervision and regulation of security markets and the possibility of political and economic instability. For foreign securities, the Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investment securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of such securities. For tax reporting purposes, Code Section 988 provides that gains and losses on certain transactions attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates must be treated as ordinary income or loss. 2. RELATED PARTIES Until December 31, 2002, Ivy Management, Inc. ("IMI") provided business management services and was the Investment Adviser to the Fund. Effective December 16, 2002, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. ("Waddell & Reed"), a U.S. mutual fund firm, completed its acquisition of the entire operations of Mackenzie Investment Management Inc. ("MIMI"), of which IMI is a wholly owned subsidiary. At this time, Ivy Acquisition Corporation ("IAC") was formed as a registered investment adviser. On December 31, 2002, IMI merged into IAC and IAC changed its name to Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company ("WRIICO"), the Fund's current investment adviser. For its services, WRIICO receives a fee monthly at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2002, WRIICO limited the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 fees and certain other expenses) to an annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's average net assets. MIMI provided certain administrative, accounting and pricing services for the Fund. Effective December 17, 2002, IAC, now WRIICO, assumed all of MIMI's duties under the Fund Accounting Services Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement. For those services, the Fund pays WRIICO fees plus certain out-of-pocket expenses. Such fees and expenses are reflected as Fund accounting and Administrative services fee in the Fund's Statement of Operations. At December 31, 2002, WRIICO owned approximately 99% of the Fund's shares outstanding. 3.

GEOGRAPHIC RISK FACTORS There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political and economic developments and the possible imposition of currency exchange restrictions or other foreign laws or restrictions. 5. CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") previously served as the independent accountants of the Fund. On December 16, 2002, PwC resigned as the Fund's independent accountants on the basis that it was no longer "independent" of the Fund within the meaning of the professional standards applicable to independent accountants. This loss of independence was caused by the change of control of the Fund's investment adviser, which took place on December 16, 2002. The decision to change accountants was recommended by the audit committee of the Fund's Board of Trustees and approved by the Board. PwC's reports on the Fund's financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. In connection with its audits for the Fund's two most recent fiscal years and through PwC's resignation on December 16, 2002, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in its reports on the Fund's financial statements for such years. On December 17, 2002, the audit committee of the Fund's Board of Trustees recommended and the Board approved Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Fund's new independent accountants, effective as of December 16, 2002, for the Fund's fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Ivy International Growth Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Ivy International Growth Fund (the "Fund") as of December 31, 2002, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the fiscal year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The financial statements and the financial highlights of the Fund for each of the periods presented in the two-year period ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated February 8, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ivy International Growth Fund as of December 31, 2002, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
