President's Letter

September 30, 2004

Dear Shareholder:

Enclosed is our report on your Fund's operations for the six months ended September 30, 2004.

After a strong start at the beginning of 2004, the markets showed disappointing performance for the next six months. The S&P 500 had a negative return of 0.18 percent for the period, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 1.65 percent. Bonds fared slightly better, with the Lehman Brothers U.S. Credit Index showing a positive return of 0.63 percent for the period.

This essentially flat period for the markets was the result of a number of factors. First and foremost, the high price of oil picked the pockets of both consumers and corporations and acted as a drag on economic growth. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board went into tightening mode, raising interest rates on June 30 for the first time in nearly four years. Election uncertainty, the situation in Iraq, hurricanes and talk about the economy hitting a "soft spot" also shook investor confidence.

Economic growth did slow considerably in 2004, but that wasn't entirely unexpected. The previous growth rate - fueled by last year's package of tax cuts, a boost in government spending and interest rate reductions - was, in our view, unsustainably high. Now that we've passed the one-year anniversary of the government's stimulus package, we feel that we can expect lower, but still respectable, economic growth.

Looking ahead, we are reasonably optimistic about the economy and the markets. We see GDP expanding in the 3 percent range, steady job creation, relatively tame inflation and continued strength in corporate earnings. However, we do anticipate some moderation in the growth of the economy due to higher energy prices and the slow tightening of monetary policy. But as long as inflation remains in check, we do not expect the Fed to aggressively raise interest rates. A gradual rise seems much more likely in our opinion.

As for the markets, we think that many of the current uncertainties will be resolved and that investors will once again focus on the positives: strong corporate earnings, ongoing job creation and solid economic growth. History suggests that the stock market generally follows corporate profit trends, which are currently positive. Once the overhangs, such as election uncertainty and rising energy prices, are out of the way, we believe stock prices should follow earnings and show moderate but solid gains.

Keep in mind, however, that uncertainty is a core feature of the financial markets. That's why we believe that adhering to the fundamental principles of investing is the best way to achieve your long-term financial goals. By investing regularly and diversifying your portfolio among different asset classes and investment styles, you can maximize the potential for return and help reduce risk. You'll also be better equipped to handle market volatility.

Your financial advisor can help you with these strategies and work with you to develop and maintain a customized investment plan based on your individual situation. We believe that focusing on that plan, despite the swings of the market, can be your key to a sound financial future.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication and partnership.

Respectfully,

Henry J. Herrmann, CFA
President

Illustration of Fund Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees, and other Fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period ended September 30, 2004.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the tables below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There may be additional fees charged to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. These fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), IRA Rollovers, Roth IRAS, Conversion Roth IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Simple IRAs, Tax-Sheltered Accounts (TSAs), Keogh Plans, Owner Only 401(k) (Exclusive K) Plans and Final Pay Plans. As of the close of the six months covered by the table, a customer is charged an annual fee of $15 within each plan type. This fee is waived for IRA Rollovers and Conversion Roth IRAs if the customer owns another type of IRA. Coverdell Education Savings Account plans are charged an annual fee of $10 per customer. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value as such additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

*Fund expenses for each share class are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 days in the six-month period ended September 30, 2004, and divided by 365.

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

(2)This section uses a hypothetical 5% return and actual Fund expenses. It helps to compare the Fund's ongoing costs with other mutual funds. A shareholder can compare the Fund's ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

The above illustration is based on ongoing costs only and does not include any transactional costs, such as sales loads, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Notes To Financial Statements

September 30, 2004

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

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

A. Security valuation - Each stock and convertible bond is valued at the latest sale price thereof on each business day of the fiscal period as reported by the principal securities exchange on which the issue is traded or, if no sale is reported for a stock, the average of the latest bid and asked prices. Bonds, other than convertible bonds, are valued using a pricing system provided by a pricing service or dealer in bonds. Convertible bonds are valued using this pricing system only on days when there is no sale reported. Stocks which are traded over-the-counter are priced using the Nasdaq Stock Market, which provides information on bid and asked prices quoted by major dealers in such stocks. Restricted securities and securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to be reliable because of significant events or circumstances identified between the closing of their principal markets and the closing of the New York Stock Exchange are valued as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities denominated in foreign currencies are valued at amortized cost in that currency. See Note 1C.
B. Security transactions and related investment income - Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Premium and discount on the purchase of bonds are amortized for both financial and tax reporting purposes over the remaining lives of the bonds. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. See Note 3 - Investment Securities Transactions.

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

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

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

F. Dividends and distributions - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the business day following record date. Net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as deferral of wash sales and post-October losses, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and expiring capital loss carryovers. At September 30, 2004, the following amounts were reclassified:

				Capital Paid-in

Bond Fund	$	11,643		$	(11,643	)
Mortgage Securities Fund		(4,662	)		4,662
Pacific Opportunities Fund		22,000		(22,000		)

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

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

The Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust on behalf of Global Natural Resources Fund and Mackenzie Financial Corporation ("MFC") lapsed on February 28, 2003, due to an administrative error that was not discovered until late in 2003.

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



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

From	$	0 to	$	10		$	0
From	$	10 to	$	25		$	11,500

From	$	750 to	$	1,000		$	121,600
	$	1,000 and Over				$	148,500

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

Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Advisor Class shares, for each shareholder account that was in existence at any time during the prior month: Ivy Balanced Fund, Ivy Dividend Income Fund, Ivy International Balanced Fund, Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund, Ivy Small Cap Value Fund and Ivy Value Fund pay WRSCO a monthly fee of $1.5792; Ivy Bond Fund and Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund pay WRSCO a monthly fee of $1.6958; and Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund, Ivy European Opportunities Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy International Fund, Ivy International Value Fund and Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund each pay the Agent a monthly fee of $1.5042.

For Class Y shares, each Fund pays the Agent a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. Each Fund also reimburses WRSCO for certain out-of-pocket costs for all classes. Certain broker-dealers that maintain shareholder accounts with each Fund through an omnibus account provide transfer agent and other shareholder-related services that would otherwise be provided by WRSCO if the individual accounts that comprise the omnibus account were opened by their beneficial owners directly. WRSCO pays such broker-dealers a per account fee for each open account within the omnibus account, or a fixed rate (e.g., 0.10%) fee, based on the average daily net asset value of the omnibus account (or a combination thereof).

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

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

As principal underwriter for the Trust's shares, IFDI receives sales commissions (which are not an expense of the Trust) for Class A shares. A contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") may be assessed against a shareholder's redemption amount of Class B, Class C or certain Class A shares and is paid to IFDI. During the period ended September 30, 2004, IFDI received the following amounts in sales commissions and deferred sales charges:

NOTE 6 - Options

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

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

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

			Premiums Received

Outstanding at March 31, 2004	258		$	13,810
Options written	1,932			160,988
Options terminated in closing purchase transactions	(416	)	(52,781		)

Options expired	(675	)	(37,044		)

Outstanding at September 30, 2004	725		$	54,895

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and
Shareholders of Ivy Funds:

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 September 30, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Funds of Ivy Funds as of September 30, 2004, the results of their operations for the six-month period then ended, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the periods presented (except as noted above), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
