President's Letter
March 31, 2005

Dear Shareholder:

The 12-month period ended March 31, 2005 offered solid results for most investors. Although the final quarter of the period was challenging, with negative returns for both stocks and bonds, the 12-month period as a whole was generally positive for the financial markets and the economy. Stocks ended the 12-month period higher, with the S&P 500 returning 6.69 percent and the Dow Jones Industrial Average returning 3.63 percent. Bonds, in comparison, showed mixed performance and ended the year relatively flat. The Lehman Brothers U.S. Credit Index, which generally represents the performance of the U.S. bond market, had a positive return of 0.84 percent over the last 12 months.

Over the course of the 12-month period, the markets faced numerous challenges. These included continued turmoil in Iraq, the U.S. presidential election, rising energy prices and a decline in the value of the dollar. Corporate earnings remained strong, however, and gross domestic product (GDP) averaged a 4 percent annualized growth rate over 2004, and appears to have grown at about the same rate in the first quarter of 2005.

The strengthening economy caused inflation concerns, which led the Federal Reserve to begin a series of incremental increases in short-term interest rates. The Fed enacted five small rate increases between June and mid-December of 2004, and two more in the first quarter of 2005. During the period, short-term rates rose from the historically low level of 1 percent to 2.75 percent. The Fed has stated that, at this point, it intends to continue considering "measured" rate increases over the next few months.

As we look ahead, we continue to feel that signs point to a favorable environment for stocks and the economy. We believe that the economy could see a real growth rate of around 3 percent for the year, with a nominal growth rate (after inflation) of 6 percent or so. History suggests that corporate profits tend to grow in line with growth in the economy, and stocks generally mirror the growth in profits. With that in mind, we look for a solid year for the equity markets.

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 work toward your long-term financial goals. By investing regularly and diversifying your portfolio among different asset classes and investment styles, we believe that you are more likely to maximize the potential to meet your financial goals.

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 partnership and your continued commitment to your investment program.

Respectfully,
Henry J. Herrmann, CFA
President

The opinions expressed in this letter are those of the President of the Ivy Funds and are current only through the end of the period of the report, as stated on the cover.

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 tables are 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 March 31, 2005.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the following tables 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 tables. 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 tables, 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 tables. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class of the following tables 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 tables 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 tables 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 182 days in the six-month period ended March 31, 2005, 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 illustrations are based on ongoing costs only and do not include any transactional costs, such as sales loads, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy Asset Strategy Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Michael L. Avery and Daniel J. Vrabac, portfolio managers of the Ivy Asset Strategy Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund outperformed all of its benchmarks for the fiscal year, with Class C shares of the Fund increasing 11.11 percent. In comparison, the Fund's stock benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the stock market), increased 6.69 percent during the fiscal year. The Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Universe Average (generally representing the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), increased 4.95 percent for the fiscal year, the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the bond market) increased 1.23 percent, and the Citigroup Short-Term Index for 1 Month Certificates of Deposit (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent one-month certificates of deposit) increased 1.78 percent. Multiple indexes are presented because the Fund invests in stocks, bonds and short-term instruments. Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

What helped the Fund outperform its benchmark indexes during the fiscal year?

We believe that our focus on energy, natural resources and Asian holdings generally helped us outperform domestic equities overall, as represented by the benchmark index.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

For several quarters now, the Fund has been increasing its focus on Asia, as we believe that Asia will continue to gain in importance as a major growth area in the global economy. China has gradually been opening its economy over the last 25 years, but the pace has accelerated in very recent years. This has led to an increase in Chinese per capita income, which has been followed by an increase in the demand for goods and services. Also impacting this trend for other Asian or Pacific Rim countries has been the decline in the U.S. dollar over the last two years or so, which has helped to boost investment in those regions.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

The Fund has maintained a consistent strategy over the past several quarters, based on our following fundamental themes:

We believe the best asset returns over the next several years will come from outside the U.S.
We feel that there is a shift in the source of global economic growth occurring. We anticipate that global growth may be driven primarily by Asia in the coming decades, and perhaps by other emerging markets.
In our view, energy markets will be impacted by rising demand at a time of declining global supply.
We think that as the U.S. drops deeper as a debtor nation to the rest of the world, the U.S. share of global gross domestic product (GDP) will decline and the dollar will be weak.
The more than 20-year decline in U.S. interest rates is, in our view, at an end. We believe the tailwind for the market has subsided, and that a headwind is picking up speed.
We feel that the implication, in general, for the U.S. equity market is not encouraging.

Turning these themes into a portfolio has led to significant investments in energy and natural resource equities, Asian equities, gold bullion and gold equities, and fixed-income instruments that have the potential to provide income while typically shielding the portfolio from price declines in a rising rate environment.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

While we consider the themes outlined above as medium- and long-term, we are under no illusion that this is a one-way street. There has been, and we believe there will continue to be, significant volatility in all of these markets, as well as in the U.S. market. That said, we continue to believe that the focus on the fundamentals we outlined above potentially could serve the investor well in the near-term period.

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.

(3)Data quoted is past performance and is based on deduction of the maximum applicable sales load for each of the periods. Current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit www.ivyfunds.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance. Class A shares carry a maximum front-end sales load of 5.75%. Class B and Class C shares carry maximum contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) of 5% and 1%, respectively. (Accordingly the Class C shares reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase.) Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

(4)Performance data from 3-24-00 represents the actual performance of Class C shares. Performance data prior to 3-24-00 represents the performance of the Fund's original Class B shares. The original Class B shares were combined with Class C shares effective 3-24-00, and redesignated as Class C shares. The original Class B's performance has been adjusted to reflect the current contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) structure applicable to Class C (1.00% maximum and declining to zero at the end of the first year after investment). Accordingly, these returns reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase. New Class B shares, with fees and expenses different from the original Class B shares, were added to the Fund on 6-30-00.

(5)7-10-00 for Class A shares, 7-3-00 for Class B shares, 4-20-95 for Class C shares and 12-29-95 for Class Y shares (the date on which shares were first acquired by shareholders).

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Indexes are unmanaged. The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Capital Appreciation Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Barry M. Ogden, CFA, CPA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Capital Appreciation Fund

Please note that the Ivy Tax-Managed Equity Fund was renamed the Ivy Capital Appreciation Fund effective March 31, 2005. Its objective and strategy will continue as long-term growth of capital, while minimizing taxable gains and income to shareholders.

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Class A shares of the Fund increased 6.25 percent, before the impact of sales charges, compared with the S&P 500 Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the stock market), which increased 6.69 percent during the same period, and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Universe Average (reflecting the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 1.20 percent during the period. Please note that the Fund's performance numbers do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

What factors affected performance relative to the benchmark index during the fiscal year?

Our largest weighting continued to be within the health care sector, specifically managed care, hospitals, biotechnology, medical technology, orthopedics and generics, which we felt were very good investments for the Fund over the last 12 months. We were underweight large-capitalization pharmaceuticals for most of this period, which we believe also turned out to be the right investment decision. We feel that the health care industry has a very strong, secular investment story, and we continue to try to find new ways to fully exploit the opportunities. Our exposure in health care and our company specific investments helped our performance measurably over the last 12 months. Furthermore, our overweight position in energy, another sector where we believe that long-term supply issues should support higher energy prices, helped our overall performance. We are exposed to the energy sector through a variety of investments in the integrated oils, oil service, drilling equipment and exploration and production sectors. We were underweight in financials, driven in part by our belief that continued Federal Reserve interest rate tightening has the potential to provide challenges to that sector. Lastly, we held comparable benchmark weightings in several other key investment areas, such as technology, consumer staples, basic materials and industrials.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

Two significant variables impacting the Fund and the overall economy over the past 12 months were higher energy prices and the Federal Reserve's consistent interest rate hikes. As it relates to higher energy prices, the price of oil increased almost 20 percent over the last 12 months and, as one would expect, it appears that this is beginning to have a slowing impact on the economy and consumer spending. In fact, it seems as if the impact to the economy and the consumer may have accelerated late in March, as several larger retailers noted a slowing in sales trends. In addition, the Federal Reserve has been steadfast in its interest rate hikes since June 2004. Having already raised rates seven times during the fiscal year, the Fed has made it very clear that it intends to raise interest rates further. We believe that the rate hikes, though at a low level, are beginning to take effect and are in fact slowing the economy down. Going forward, we believe the price of oil - and its real and psychological effects on the consumer and the economy - remains the most important variable to watch in the near-term.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

We continue to believe that our investment process of focusing on what we feel are high-quality, growth-oriented companies is a key component that differentiates us from our peers, and that this may continue to benefit the Fund across all economic environments. Most of our investments are centered on companies that we feel are rapidly growing their businesses, are very profitable and are able to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Valuation, relative to a company's future growth opportunities and operating free cash flow, continues to play a role in all investment decisions.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive going forward?

The two sectors that we weighted quite heavily during the last 12 months were health care and energy. We continue to be bullish regarding the prospects for both sectors and anticipate them both being an integral part of the Fund's weightings over the foreseeable future.

Overall, we believe that we could potentially be in a sideways market that ends the year roughly flat. Having said that, we feel that there likely will be pockets of opportunity and sectors that dramatically outperform the broader markets over the next 12 months. We ended the fiscal year with a relatively high cash position and intend to look to put some of this back to work over the next few months and on pullbacks. We believe that we could rapidly put much of this cash back to work as the market conditions change (such as a sustained pullback in energy) or if company-specific investment opportunities arise. At this point, we are in no immediate rush to get back to being fully invested, and likely will instead focus on the preservation of capital and investing in what we feel are the right companies in the right sectors. We anticipate no major sector weighting changes at this point, but we might reduce slightly our retail exposure on any strength, as we are fearful of any negative impact on the consumer from higher energy prices.

The Fund's performance noted above is at net asset value (NAV), and does not include the effect of any applicable sales charges. If reflected, the sales charge would reduce the performance noted. The opinions expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and no forecasts can be guaranteed.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Core Equity Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with James D. Wineland, CFA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Core Equity Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund did well, outperforming its benchmark index and Lipper peer group over the fiscal year. Class C shares of the Fund increased 11.00 percent during the period, compared with the S&P 500 Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the stock market), which increased 6.69 percent for the period, and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 4.06 percent for the year. Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

What helped the Fund outperform its benchmark index during the fiscal year?

We believe that the Fund benefited primarily from our decision to maintain a heavy emphasis on energy-related and basic industry stocks, which contributed meaningfully to overall return.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

The rise in energy prices over the latter part of the fiscal year is a condition that we think is likely to persist. We anticipate that the market will be volatile and that geopolitical events likely will continue to cause commodity prices to both rise and fall. However, for the next several years, we believe energy is likely to be an excellent place for us to invest.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

As always, the Fund focused on what we feel are high quality industry leaders with strong financial characteristics, solid management and dominant competitive positions. The portfolio is diversified, but it also provides concentration in the broad investment themes that we believe will continue to offer compelling performance.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

We emphasized energy, aerospace/defense, machinery, chemicals, leisure, and specialty and discount retailers. We generally maintained below benchmark level weightings in the telecommunications, financial services and utility sectors for most of the fiscal year.

As noted above, we feel the energy sector represents a very important long-term investment opportunity. Supply of conventional oil and natural gas appears to be meeting increasingly difficult barriers to growth. Many believe that one possible answer to this big supply/demand problem is to utilize alternative energy sources, such as solar, wind, liquid natural gas or fuel cells. We believe that each of these (and more) may be good alternatives and possibly have investment potential. However, we feel that the mere size of the oil and natural gas markets and the huge reliance of the world's economy on the petroleum infrastructure simply cannot be changed quickly.

We see enormous potential in the health care and travel/vacation/leisure sectors. The demographic forces behind these two large investment themes appear to us to be very powerful. As a result, managed care, drug distribution, medical technology, biotechnology and conventional large-capitalization pharmaceuticals are likely to be well represented in the portfolio. Hotels, gaming, cruise lines and other vacation/recreation stocks are also areas we find very compelling. Our technology investments likely will continue to be centered on what we believe are leading companies involved with the "digital home" and the products, services and components that facilitate the wireless world.

Finally, we intend to continue to invest in basic industry stocks (machinery, chemicals, metals, capital goods) that we think may benefit from expanding global demand for basic infrastructure requirements, such as water systems, electric grid expansion, highways, airports, harbor facilities and refineries.

Please note that the performance of the Fund's other share classes will be greater or less than the performance shown above for Class C based on the differences in loads and fees paid by shareholders investing in the different classes.

(1)The value of the investment in the Fund is impacted by the ongoing expenses of the Fund and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

(2)Data quoted is past performance and is based on deduction of the maximum applicable sales load for each of the periods. Current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit www.ivyfunds.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance. Class A shares carry a maximum front-end sales load of 5.75%. Class B and Class C shares carry maximum contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) of 5% and 1%, respectively. (Accordingly, the Class C shares reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase.) Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

(3)Performance data from 3-24-00 represents the actual performance of Class C shares. Performance data prior to 3-24-00 represents the performance of the Fund's original Class B shares. The original Class B shares were combined with Class C shares effective 3-24-00, and redesignated as Class C shares. The original Class B's performance has been adjusted to reflect the current contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) structure applicable to Class C (1.00% maximum and declining to zero at the end of the first year after investment). Accordingly, these returns reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase. New Class B shares, with fees and expenses different from the original Class B shares, were added to the Fund on 6-30-00.

(4)7-3-00 for Class A shares, 7-11-00 for Class B shares and 12-29-95 for Class Y shares (the date on which shares were first acquired by shareholders).

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Indexes are unmanaged. The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy High Income Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Louise D. Rieke, CFA, CPA, portfolio manager of the Ivy High Income Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund showed a positive return during the fiscal year, but underperformed its benchmark index. Class C shares increased 3.90 percent for the fiscal year, compared with the Citigroup High Yield Market Index (generally reflecting the performance of securities that represent the high yield bond market), which increased 7.21 percent during the period, and the Lipper High Current Yield Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar objectives), which increased 6.25 percent during the period. Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index during the fiscal year?

We believe that underperformance was due primarily to the Fund's underweight versus the benchmark in the diversified telecommunications, utilities and gas pipeline sectors. However, we also feel that overweight positions in the chemical, gaming and leisure sectors, along with an underweight in the auto and auto supplier sectors, contributed positively to performance. Sector selection and holdings were the primary contributors to performance over the fiscal year.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

The high yield market had a solid, positive total return year, even in the face of the Federal Reserve raising rates from 1 percent on June 30, 2004, to 2.75 percent by March 31, 2005. The benchmark index outperformed the U.S. Treasury market, and the spreads between the high yield and Treasuries narrowed by 100 basis points. In addition, the spreads among the various rating categories had much different changes. The better quality sectors, such as BB and B1-rated securities, underperformed the lower-quality B2, B3 and CCC sectors. We believe that this can be attributed to a perceived lack of credit risk, or lack of defaults, and low inflation. The last three months of the fiscal year, January through March of 2005, were much different than the first nine months. We've recently seen more volatility due to greater concern over the direction of interest rates and inflation.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

The quality diversification of the Fund was shifted from the BB and B sectors to more B3 and CCC sectors. A good portion of the shift had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year, in time to catch this move in spreads. The spreads for the B and CCC sectors then narrowed during the period.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

The Fund is now structured more defensively than it has been in past periods. We have used more short-maturity callable paper, as well as higher-coupon issues. Both of these types of securities are defensive in nature and are less sensitive to U.S. Treasury moves, in our opinion. Going forward, we intend to continue emphasis on these defensive securities, as well as to increase the non-cyclical sectors.

(2)Data quoted is past performance and is based on deduction of the maximum applicable sales load for each of the periods. Current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit www.ivyfunds.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance. Class A shares carry a maximum front-end sales load of 5.75%. Class B and Class C shares carry maximum contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) of 5% and 1%, respectively. (Accordingly, the Class C shares reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase.) Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

(3)Performance data from 3-24-00 represents the actual performance of Class C shares. Performance data prior to 3-24-00 represents the performance of the Fund's original Class B shares. The original Class B shares were combined with Class C shares effective 3-24-00, and redesignated as Class C shares. The original Class B's performance has been adjusted to reflect the current contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) structure applicable to Class C (1.00% maximum and declining to zero at the end of the first year after investment). Accordingly, these returns reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase. New Class B shares, with fees and expenses different from the original Class B shares, were added to the Fund on 6-30-00.

(4)7-3-00 for Class A shares, 7-18-00 for Class B shares, 7-31-97 for Class C shares and 12-30-98 for Class Y shares (the date on which shares were first acquired by shareholders).

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Indexes are unmanaged. The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy International Growth Fund
March 31, 2005

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

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund showed a positive return for the period, but lagged its benchmark index. The Class C shares of the Fund increased 4.72 percent for the year. In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (generally reflecting the performance of securities that represent the international equity markets) increased 15.05 percent during the year, and the Lipper International Multi-Cap Growth Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar objectives) increased 10.05 percent.*

Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index during the fiscal year?

We believe that our stock selection was the biggest factor, as specific holdings negatively impacted performance for the fiscal year. Fund performance was particularly hurt by an overweight position in consumer-discretionary stocks in Europe, where domestic demand has been slow to recover.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

Financial markets were faced with sharp increases in energy prices during the year, as well as rising interest rates in the United States and several foreign countries. Deflationary fears faded early in the fiscal year, and were soon replaced by concerns of commodity-induced inflation. During the year, there were also periods of uncertainty over China's ability to manage its industrial growth. Foreign equity markets recovered late in 2004, but trended lower again by March of 2005 as slower economic growth became evident in most industrialized countries.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

For most of the fiscal year, the Fund was overweight in consumer-related shares, particularly discretionary spending selections in continental Europe, where domestic demand has been sluggish for several years. Corporate labor reform continues to reduce German business costs while boosting profitability, but workers continue to be impacted by stagnant wages and a weak hiring environment.

By the end of the period, our underweight position in Britain became quite extreme due to falling home prices, a broadly weakening economy and the risk of even higher interest rates.

What industries did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

While the Fund was overweight in consumer sectors, its exposure to materials and industrials was quite limited early in the period. However, by the end of the fiscal year, our sector weights were trimmed to be much closer to benchmark levels.

We believe global financial markets will continue to be volatile in the coming months in reaction to energy price movements and economic responses. We are pleased to see continuing corporate labor reform in Germany, but will be closely monitoring political concerns that have developed in recent weeks in Britain, Canada and Mexico, including Britain's general election in early May.

We intend to continue to focus on what we feel are healthy companies that we believe can benefit from China's industrial expansion, particularly sector leaders with impressive pricing power. High-beta stocks will likely be avoided, along with regions that we feel are particularly vulnerable to higher interest rates, such as Latin America. In Japan and Asia, we intend to continue to focus on areas of strong domestic demand, which we believe could provide potential insulation from possible near-term external volatility.

*The Fund's Lipper classification was changed from the International Funds Universe to the International Multi-Cap Growth Funds Universe, effective June 30, 2004. The Lipper International Funds Universe Average increased 12.57 percent during the period. The opinions expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and no forecasts can be guaranteed.

(2)Data quoted is past performance and is based on deduction of the maximum applicable sales load for each of the periods. Current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit www.ivyfunds.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance. Class A shares carry a maximum front-end sales load of 5.75%. Class B and Class C shares carry maximum contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) of 5% and 1%, respectively. (Accordingly, the Class C shares reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase.) Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

(3)Performance data from 3-24-00 represents the actual performance of Class C shares. Performance data prior to 3-24-00 represents the performance of the Fund's original Class B shares. The original Class B shares were combined with Class C shares effective 3-24-00, and redesignated as Class C shares. The original Class B's performance has been adjusted to reflect the current contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) structure applicable to Class C (1.00% maximum and declining to zero at the end of the first year after investment). Accordingly, these returns reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase. New Class B shares, with fees and expenses different from the original Class B shares, were added to the Fund on 6-30-00.

(4)7-3-00 for Class A shares, 7-10-00 for Class B shares and 12-29-95 for Class Y shares (the date on which shares were first acquired by shareholders).

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Indexes are unmanaged. The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Large Cap Growth Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Daniel P. Becker, CFA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Large Cap Growth Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Class A shares of the Fund increased 2.91 percent before the impact of sales charges. This compared with the S&P 500 Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the stock market), which increased 6.69 percent during the period, and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Universe Average (generally representing the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 1.20 percent during the period. Please note that effective May 2005, the Fund's benchmark index changed to the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which increased 1.15 percent during the period. We believe that the Russell 1000 Growth Index provides a more accurate basis for comparing the Fund's performance to the types of securities in which the Fund invests. Both indexes will be presented in this year's and next year's report for comparison purposes. Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

What factors affected performance relative to the benchmark index during the fiscal year?

Our strategy of focusing on what we feel are high-quality growth companies generally does not do well in the early stages of economic expansion, since the market typically favors smaller, faster growing companies during these periods. In our view, much of the market performance of 2003 and 2004 can be attributed to lower-quality, financially weak companies that recovered after several years of difficulty. We believe that many of these companies are still structurally and financially unsound. The Fund seeks to avoid what we feel are structurally disadvantaged companies and will likely continue to do so going forward. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from a large position in a number of strongly performing stocks, as well as below-normal holdings in consumer-staple companies.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

The Fund's performance was positively influenced by the rebound in the general economy. As the economy strengthened through the end of calendar year 2004, the revenues and earnings growth of many of the Fund's cyclical stocks were substantially greater than we anticipated earlier in the year. However, the last quarter of the fiscal year was a challenging one for large-cap growth stocks, which underperformed relative to value strategies.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

Our strategy, as always, remains steadfast. We focus on what we feel are dominant, well-capitalized companies that we believe can take a structurally advantaged competitive position and potentially produce sustained high levels of profitability and growth. As the economic recovery matures and earnings momentum moderates, we believe quality and sustainability will be valued more highly than they have been in the past. We anticipate that this environment potentially could prove more favorable for our style of investing.

What industries did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

Despite some uncertainty, we believe that the current economic environment is substantially better than it has been in prior periods. For the first time since the late 1990s, companies appear ready and able to expand their labor force and increase production capacity. In our view, the economy could grow at acceptable rates this coming year, but likely will slow from its fast pace of the recent past. However, the market is a discounting mechanism, and the current turmoil in the stock averages could be discounting a major slowdown in the profit cycle in 2005 and 2006. We are actively monitoring this development for signs of slower-than-anticipated growth, which would have an impact on the prices of all financial assets, in our opinion.

In the near term, we think that interest rates likely will continue to move higher, consistent earnings growth for many companies should be scarcer, and that the valuations of large-company stocks are now attractive. We believe that the portfolio is structured to benefit from growth in capital spending, a rebound in the labor force and strength in what we feel are high quality, structurally advantaged companies. Major industries emphasized include health care devices, student loans, business services and energy capital spending (services).

The Fund's performance noted above is at net asset value (NAV), and does not include the
effect of any applicable sales charges. If reflected, the sales charge would reduce the performance noted. The opinions expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions, and no forecasts can be guaranteed.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Limited-Term Bond Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with W. Patrick Sterner, CFA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Limited-Term Bond Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund underperformed its benchmark during a challenging period, with Class C shares of the Fund declining 1.45 percent over the fiscal year. In comparison, the Citigroup 1-5 Years Treasury/Government Sponsored/Credit Index (reflecting the performance of securities generally representing the limited-term sector of the bond market) declined 0.51 percent for the fiscal year, while the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) decreased 0.33 percent. Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index during the fiscal year?

Returns during the fiscal year were negatively impacted by the short maturity of the Fund. The yield curve flattened dramatically during the period, as rates on short and intermediate maturities rose while longer rates actually declined. The yield on the two-year Treasury note increased from 1.57 percent to 3.78 percent, or 221 basis points, over the period, while the 30-year U.S. Treasury declined from 4.78 percent to 4.75 percent. This flattening of the yield curve allowed long-maturity bonds to outperform shorter-term bonds on a total return basis, with long-term U.S. Treasury bonds outperforming intermediate-term U.S. Treasuries. The Fund lacked significant exposure to securities with maturities longer than five years, and therefore didn't capture the additional return provided by these bonds.

However, there were several factors that contributed positively to the Fund's performance over the past year. The most important was an overweighting in both corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities, which were the best-performing sectors of the fixed income market last year. In addition, we believe that exposure to waste-disposal companies, defense contractors and electric utilities within the corporate sector helped enhance overall return.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

A steadily growing economy and improving corporate credit fundamentals were reflected in the market, as spreads on corporate bonds continued to tighten. The tightening was most pronounced in lower-rated securities. Over the last 12 months, Baa-rated bonds outperformed AA-rated bonds. The Fund held over 25 percent in Baa securities, but their short maturity held back relative performance.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

Our management style attempts to identify relative value opportunities between sectors of the market. Those sectors include U.S. Treasuries, agencies, corporates and mortgage-backed securities. We expected interest rates to increase gradually over the year, which typically would favor mortgage-backed securities with limited extension risk, and we also felt that intermediate corporate bonds offered good value. As a result, we emphasized those sectors in the Fund, which we feel helped overall performance.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

We anticipate that interest rates likely will move higher over the new fiscal year, as economic growth continues to be solid. We believe the Federal Reserve likely will remain on a course of raising short-term rates at least until they feel a neutral federal funds level is reached. We also believe that corporate credit spreads are still so tight that there is little upside potential in owning corporate bonds, except in selected names.

With this backdrop, we intend to continue to remain short duration while emphasizing mortgage-backed securities with what we believe is limited extension risk.

(2)Data quoted is past performance and is based on deduction of the maximum applicable sales load for each of the periods. Current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit www.ivyfunds.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance. Class A shares carry a maximum front-end sales load of 2.50%. Class B and Class C shares carry maximum contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) of 5% and 1%, respectively. (Accordingly, the Class C shares reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase.) Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

(3)Performance data from 3-24-00 represents the actual performance of Class C shares. Performance data prior to 3-24-00 represents the performance of the Fund's original Class B shares. The original Class B shares were combined with Class C shares effective 3-24-00, and redesignated as Class C shares. The original Class B's performance has been adjusted to reflect the current contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) structure applicable to Class C (1.00% maximum and declining to zero at the end of the first year after investment). Accordingly, these returns reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase. New Class B shares, with fees and expenses different from the original Class B shares, were added to the Fund on 6-30-00.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Mid Cap Growth Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Kimberly A. Scott, CFA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Mid Cap Growth Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund's Class A shares increased 9.90 percent for the period, before the impact of sales charges, compared with the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index (generally reflecting the performance of securities that represent the mid cap sector of the stock market), which increased 8.31 percent during the same period, and the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Universe Average (reflecting the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 5.21 percent for the period.

Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

What factors impacted the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark index during the fiscal year?

Positive stock selection across a number of sectors was the primary contributor to performance over the period, in our view. Additionally, several sectors in which we were overweight relative to our benchmark, namely energy and financials, were sectors that outperformed the respective sector in the benchmark, and added nicely to the Fund's total return. One area that detracted from performance was health care, a sector in which we had an overweight position and poorly performing stocks. Our biotechnology stocks were particularly disappointing during the fiscal year.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

The performance of mid-cap growth stocks was uninspiring for much of the 12-month period through March of 2005. Stocks struggled against the twin specters of rapidly rising energy prices and higher interest rates, even though earnings trends remained strong. Stocks rallied strongly later in the calendar year, however, helping to generate a solid return for the year, but then quickly lost momentum in early 2005, as concerns over reaccelerating energy prices and rising interest rates came to the fore once again. The energy and utilities sectors did quite well over the fiscal year. More traditionally defensive sectors, such as health care and consumer staples, performed better than the index for the year, while the more cyclical and interest-rate-sensitive sectors, such as technology, consumer discretionary, and financials, underperformed the index.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

We believe that stock selection helped Fund performance over the fiscal year. Our focus on premier growth companies with strong, sustainable and highly visible earnings growth opportunities paid off, as it appears that many other investors also came to appreciate these companies. In addition, we were unwilling to react to every negative news item and data point, particularly early in the year. This allowed us to remain invested in a portfolio of stocks in which we had high conviction, and we feel that our patience was rewarded as the markets reacted to good earnings and returns later in the year.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

Areas of emphasis for the Fund during the period, relative to the benchmark index, included health care, consumer staples, energy and financial services. We were disappointed with the performance of our health care names, particularly our stocks in the biotechnology area. However, we intend to continue to emphasize health care, as we like the long-term and consistent growth characteristics of this sector, as well as its selection of higher-quality names. We believe that health care stocks likely will draw greater investor interest this year, as we expect the market to become more defensive. In addition, we expect to see considerable merger and acquisition activity in this sector, as we believe that many large health care companies, especially in the pharmaceutical area, are likely to spend cash holdings to supplement their growth.

We are still slightly overweight in energy, and will likely maintain the overweight given the positive secular supply/demand characteristics of the industry. However, we are concerned that energy prices may have become extended in the near term, and we believe any correction in the price of the commodity may cause a downdraft in the price of the stocks. We would likely use such a move to increase our exposure to the energy sector. We like the consumer staples area for its defensive characteristics and generally healthy dividend yields on many stocks in the sector. We believe there are opportunities throughout consumer staples to invest in companies that are reinvigorating their businesses with smart operating changes.

We continue to like select areas of the technology sector, such as storage networking, but are unlikely to overweight this group given the high valuations and increasingly commodity-like nature of the business. We have been overweight in financial services, but will likely become more selective and less exposed there in the future. We are also less enthusiastic about consumer-discretionary investments, as we believe consumers are facing many challenges, namely higher interest rates, higher energy prices and consistently increasing health care expenses. Generally, we believe that investors will prefer higher-quality companies that have the potential to produce consistent revenue and earnings growth, as we believe the economic cycle is certainly mature.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Money Market Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Mira Stevovich, CFA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Money Market Fund

The following discussion and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund was competitive with peer group money market funds over the fiscal year. The yield on the Fund has increased gradually due to increases in the federal funds rate, which has translated into higher-yielding market rates of interest. The Fund's fiscal year started with the federal funds rate at a historically low 1 percent. As the economy improved, the Federal Reserve began to remove excess liquidity from the financial system in a slow and measured way. In June of 2004, the Federal Reserve voted to increase the federal funds rate one quarter-point, and continued to do so at each of its subsequent meetings. At the end of the fiscal year, the federal funds rate was 2.75 percent.

What factors affected performance during the fiscal year?

The increase in short-term interest rates positively affected the overall performance of the Fund. After a long period of low short-term interest rates, along with market sentiment that anticipated this environment to remain the same for a prolonged period of time, things began to change in the spring of 2004. The market began to incorporate higher future rates of interest into market rates, which provided the opportunity to invest in securities with higher yields.

Credit quality continued to play a role in the management and performance of the Fund. We remain vigilant in our review of companies and securities in which we invest. We continue to select investments that we believe to be of the highest credit quality, based on our strict credit risk constraints.

What market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

A decline in the supply of short-term securities was a factor in the Fund's return during the past year. Early in the fiscal year, companies that had contracted their businesses during the economic downturn, as well as those that had financed their businesses in the long-term bond market, continued borrowing less in the short-term market. However, as the economy expanded, companies began to increase their short-term financing, which increased the supply of securities in the short-term market.

However, counteracting this increased supply was the increasing number of investors that remained in the short-term market, anticipating each interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve. This slightly depressed the yields on securities with very short maturities. Also, uncertainty about the ultimate magnitude and timing of increases by the Federal Reserve made it difficult for the longer end of the money market yield curve to fully capture the anticipated future increases in short-term rates. Therefore, higher yields were available in one-year maturities; however, they did not fully reflect the anticipated increases in short-term rates. That also kept investors at the shorter end of the short-term market, which further depressed yields.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

As always, we carefully select securities that we feel are of the highest credit quality. This approach ultimately affects the Fund's yield, because high quality securities are issued at premium rates of interest (lower-yielding securities).

To attempt to compensate for this, we have tried to purchase longer-dated (higher-yielding) high-quality securities. We also have looked to certain sectors, such as taxable municipal securities, which have been offered at attractive rates of interest. In our view, floating rate taxable municipal and corporate securities have been an excellent investment vehicle during this increasing interest rate environment. The more frequent the rate change of the floating rate security, the quicker the interest rate increases are typically captured in the portfolio.

What industries did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

We have emphasized investments of the highest credit quality during the fiscal year, and we intend to continue to do so going forward. We have also increased our exposure to floating rate securities in an attempt to take advantage of increasing rates of interest, and we intend to remain invested in them going forward. We have also added investments in asset-backed commercial paper from time-to-time, as they provide higher yields while also providing high credit quality.

Going forward, we plan to choose securities from all industries and sectors, including U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, when we feel that they look attractive on a relative basis.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Municipal Bond Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Bryan J. Bailey, CFA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Municipal Bond Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund showed disappointing performance during the fiscal year and underperformed its benchmark index. The Fund's Class C shares increased 1.04 percent for the fiscal year, compared with the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the municipal bond market), which increased 2.67 percent for the period, and the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Universe Average (reflecting the performance of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 2 percent for the period.

Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

Why did the Fund lag its benchmark index during the fiscal year?

The same issues that negatively impacted Fund performance in the prior fiscal year continued to plague the Fund in this most recent fiscal year. Two primary factors contributed to underperformance over the period. First, the Fund both began and ended the fiscal year with lower exposure to long-dated (20-year or more) bonds than the benchmark. The long-end of the yield curve provided the best performance results during the fiscal year, by a wide margin. Aggressive discount structures performed particularly well. With nominal interest rates hovering near historical lows, the Federal Reserve began to aggressively remove monetary accommodation from the system. Couple this with emerging signs of accelerating inflation, and we felt it prudent to underweight bonds with the highest level of interest-rate sensitivity. We were wrong. In February, the Federal Reserve chairman called the tame behavior of long-term interest rates a "conundrum," as it is unprecedented for long rates not to rise during periods of monetary tightening. We entered the fiscal year with the 20-year to 30-year interest rate slope steep by historical standards. However, we did not believe that we would be nimble enough to exploit this opportunity if indeed interest rates began to rise, as we expected. We continue to dislike the risk/reward tradeoff presented by the long end of the market, and believe it is prudent to stick with the current maturity distribution of the portfolio.

The second notable factor that negatively impacted performance was an underweight position in non-investment-grade and lower-quality corporate-backed bonds. We started the fiscal year with quality spreads trading tight, in our opinion, but by fiscal year-end the spreads remained similar, and were even tighter in some instances. Once again, we enter the new fiscal year believing that we are not being adequately compensated for increasing exposure to lower-rated credits.

On the positive side, we feel that Fund performance was enhanced by the fact that some of our holdings were pre-refunded, as well as by the fact that we had an overweight position in bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). We feel that our overweight position in the underperforming housing-revenue bond sector was a drag on performance, but we intend to maintain this position because we like the sector's higher yield, higher credit quality characteristics plus the defensive attributes.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

We have been, and believe that we will continue to be, in an environment characterized by high levels of volatility. We are in a period in which the markets appear to be trading on technical influences rather than on fundamentals. The presence of many large, nontraditional fixed-income investors is making any predictions on interest rates very difficult, if not impossible. It appears that arbitrageurs, foreign central bank currency manipulation activities, mortgage portfolio rebalancing, and flight-to-quality trades on geopolitical/terrorism fears have become the primary drivers of the fixed-income markets. Unfortunately, many of these activities are very difficult to predict, and the size of the trades are typically massive. This is today's reality, and it is something that we intend to continue to attempt to manage by not straying too far from the duration (interest rate sensitivity) of our stated benchmark. We believe this is prudent in the current environment.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

Maintaining the quality of the Fund, improving its diversification between sectors and states, and maintaining marketable position sizes has dramatically reduced the volatility of the Fund, in our opinion. Our management style is essentially a skeptical top-down style with an emphasis on identifying relative value opportunities between sectors, states and different security structures. Simultaneously, we attempt to exploit opportunities presented by the shape of the yield curve and by cross-market technical issues. The Fund is typically fully invested. We believe that a diligent approach to ongoing credit analysis and subsequent surveillance after purchase has helped the Fund to avoid credit problems that can surface with some holdings.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

As we entered the fiscal year, we felt that the market presented few, if any, attractive relative value opportunities. As mentioned above, quality spreads were tight by historical standards, and we did not find the risk/reward tradeoff attractive for moving down the credit curve. Unfortunately, lower-quality bond spreads remained tight over the course of the fiscal year and many of the best-performing sectors were also the most risky. We built an overweight position in housing bonds relative to the benchmark because of the sector's positive performance characteristics in rising interest-rate environments. However, we were not rewarded for our actions. While short and intermediate interest rates did rise, long rates actually declined, thus negating the typical performance characteristics of housing bonds in an increasing interest rate environment.

We still see very few, if any, relative value opportunities in our market. Nominal interest rates are still low, credit spreads are still tight, the Federal Reserve continues to remove accommodation from the system, signs of accelerating inflation are emerging, and the yield curve is flatter than it was one year ago. We intend to exercise restraint in "yield chasing," as we feel that tight credit spreads do not adequately compensate one for moving too far down the credit curve. While acknowledging that we have been through a painful period, we feel that our patience will eventually be rewarded.

Going forward, we intend to keep the credit quality of the Fund in the AA category, while actively seeking relative value opportunities between sectors, states and security structures. Positioning and asset distribution across the yield curve likely will continue to be a vital part of our investment strategy, as well as monitoring cross-market technical factors. We anticipate maintaining the Fund's neutral-to-defensive exposure to interest rate risk, and we believe that the Fund is well positioned entering the new fiscal year. Generally, we look to continue investing in short, intermediate and longer-term (when appropriate) investment grade (primarily) municipal bonds, with an emphasis on quality and capital preservation, with minimal yield sacrifice.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit www.ivyfunds.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance. Class A shares carry a maximum front-end sales load of 4.25%. Class B and Class C shares carry maximum contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) of 5% and 1%, respectively. (Accordingly the Class C shares reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase.) Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

(3)Performance data from 3-24-00 represents the actual performance of Class C shares. Performance data prior to 3-24-00 represents the performance of the Fund's original Class B shares. The original Class B shares were combined with Class C shares effective 3-24-00, and redesignated as Class C shares. The original Class B's performance has been adjusted to reflect the current contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) structure applicable to Class C (1.00% maximum and declining to zero at the end of the first year after investment). Accordingly, these returns reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase. New Class B shares, with fees and expenses different from the original Class B shares, were added to the Fund on 6-30-00.

Manager's Discussion of
Ivy Science and Technology Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Zachary H. Shafran, portfolio manager of the Ivy Science and Technology Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund generated strong returns during the fiscal year, significantly outperforming its benchmark index. The Class C shares of the Fund increased 8.17 percent for the fiscal year, compared with the Goldman Sachs Technology Industry Composite Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the technology sector of the stock market), which decreased 5.03 percent for the year, and the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which decreased 6.58 percent for the year.

Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

What helped the Fund outperform its benchmark index during the fiscal year?

Sector outperformance and underperformance was notable this year due to the wide variance in performance within particular sectors. Simply put, we feel that stock selection, both making the right investment decisions as well as avoiding the wrong ones, was central to the Fund's positive performance during the fiscal year.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's return during the fiscal year?

There were a number of issues and events that impacted the market beyond the science and technology sectors. These included uncertainty surrounding the U.S. presidential election in late 2004 and the consequent implications for health care reform; progress of the war on terrorism, particularly the war in Iraq; and the impact of rising interest rates. Another factor was the rise of commodity prices, particularly oil, and its effect on economic activities such as consumer spending patterns. The competitive economic threat from other nations, most notably China, and the impact on corporate revenue growth and profitability also affected the markets.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that specifically affected the Fund's performance?

We believe that continued emphasis on stock selection using our bottom-up fundamental approach was of particular benefit this past year. This approach involves identifying companies that we believe are well positioned to continue generating sustainable growth in revenue and profits. We effectively let the portfolio build itself as the year progressed.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

Unlike in past years, we generally did not make conscious decisions to be meaningfully overweight or underweight a particular sector. Some of the areas we did emphasize were those that we felt would benefit from wireless and mobility products and services, such as Internet access, e-mail, satellite radio, downloadable music, and GPS (global positioning systems). With health care inflation remaining a major issue, we increased our investment in the managed-care sector, an area that we believe will play a key role in health care reform and cost containment. We also made investments in companies providing transaction processing for debit cards, gift cards, loyalty cards, and EBPP (electronic bill payment and presentment). These are all areas that we believe likely will continue to benefit from the use of technology to lower cost, provide greater ease of use, and offer more targeted marketing and advertising capabilities.

Health care reform and its implications likely will continue to be a major focal point for us in the coming fiscal year. Companies that manage health care and those that help create products that lead to the more cost-effective delivery of health care and to healthier lives will, for us, be key. In our view, beneficiaries could potentially include pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, genomics and medical technology. In technology, we intend to continue to emphasize those areas we emphasized over the last fiscal year.

(2)Data quoted is past performance and is based on deduction of the maximum applicable sales load for each of the periods. Current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit www.ivyfunds.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance. Class A shares carry a maximum front-end sales load of 5.75%. Class B and Class C shares carry maximum contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) of 5% and 1%, respectively. (Accordingly the Class C shares reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase.) Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

(3)Performance data from 3-24-00 represents the actual performance of Class C shares. Performance data prior to 3-24-00 represents the performance of the Fund's original Class B shares. The original Class B shares were combined with Class C shares effective 3-24-00, and redesignated as Class C shares. The original Class B's performance has been adjusted to reflect the current contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) structure applicable to Class C (1.00% maximum and declining to zero at the end of the first year after investment). Accordingly, these returns reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase. New Class B shares, with fees and expenses different from the original Class B shares, were added to the Fund on 6-30-00.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy
Small Cap Growth Fund
March 31, 2005

An interview with Gilbert C. Scott, CFA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund produced a strong return for the fiscal year, outperforming both its benchmark index and Lipper peer group. The Class C shares of the Fund increased 7.71 percent over the period, compared with the Russell 2000 Growth Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the small companies sector of the stock market), which increased 0.86 percent for the fiscal year, and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 0.93 percent for the same period.

Please note that the Fund returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas the index returns do not include any such fees.

What helped the Fund outperform its benchmark index during the fiscal year?

A small overweight in energy was beneficial, as the energy sector brought strong returns over the last 12 months. Over the period, energy was up almost 58 percent, with the next best sector being auto and transportation, which was up only 15 percent. We believe that strong stock selection in the technology sector also served to bolster performance. In contrast, stock selection in the consumer staples and producer durable sectors acted as drags on performance.

What other market conditions or events influenced the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

The benchmark index only realized one positive quarter over the fiscal year, and its negligible overall return for the period was in sharp contrast to the prior year, in which it returned 63 percent. (That was the strongest 12-month performance for the benchmark since 1983.) Included in the benchmark's current fiscal year return of less than 1 percent was an almost 30 percent advance from August to December of 2004. These quarterly returns illustrate the level of volatility within the small-capitalization asset class. In addition, higher-quality stocks outperformed lower-quality stocks over the fiscal year, which was a big change from the prior year.

The market had a lot to digest in the latter half of the fiscal year, including the very strong advance in late 2004, increasing energy and commodity prices, rising interest rates, and perhaps most important, concerns about increasing inflation. We believe that all of these issues served as gating factors for the market. One of the main inflation measures, the core Consumer Price Index, moved up to 2.2 percent at the end of February 2005, which was up from 1.2 percent in the prior February. Core producer prices rose even faster, from 0.9 percent in February of 2004 to 2.8 percent in February of 2005, which suggests to us that companies will either attempt to pass on the higher prices to consumers or suffer margin declines.

What strategies and techniques did you employ that affected performance during the fiscal year?

The Fund maintained a fairly neutral sector position throughout the fiscal year. As mentioned above, we believe that our small overweight in energy aided returns. One of our core strategies is to seek to maintain a higher quality company bias versus the benchmark. We believe that, over time, higher quality companies will produce superior results to lower quality companies. That was certainly evident this past year.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what looks attractive to you going forward?

Industries within the energy sector were emphasized over the fiscal year, and the Fund was rewarded for this move. We still view the energy sector as an attractive investment area, but would not be surprised to see the sector consolidate some gains, since it has generally outperformed all other areas in recent quarters. In our view, technology and biotechnology could be areas that may show interesting investment appeal, since they have been such poor performers over the last 12 months.

Inflation, interest rates, and oil have come to the forefront of concerns for the market as we look toward the new fiscal year. We believe corporate profit growth likely will be positive, but may decelerate from 2004 levels. Taking into consideration the increase in costs that many businesses likely face, we intend to pay particular attention to a company's ability to pass on the additional costs or lower other costs in an effort to protect margins.

(2)Data quoted is past performance and is based on deduction of the maximum applicable sales load for each of the periods. Current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit www.ivyfunds.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance. Class A shares carry a maximum front-end sales load of 5.75%. Class B and Class C shares carry maximum contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) of 5% and 1%, respectively. (Accordingly, the Class C shares reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase.) Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

(3)Performance data from 3-24-00 represents the actual performance of Class C shares. Performance data prior to 3-24-00 represents the performance of the Fund's original Class B shares. The original Class B shares were combined with Class C shares effective 3-24-00, and redesignated as Class C shares. The original Class B's performance has been adjusted to reflect the current contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) structure applicable to Class C (1.00% maximum and declining to zero at the end of the first year after investment). Accordingly, these returns reflect no CDSC since it only applies to Class C shares redeemed within twelve months after purchase. New Class B shares, with fees and expenses different from the original Class B shares, were added to the Fund on 6-30-00.

(4)7-3-00 for Class A shares, 7-6-00 for Class B shares and 12-29-95 for Class Y shares (the date on which shares were first acquired by shareholders).

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Indexes are unmanaged. The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Ivy Funds, Inc. (formerly W&R Funds, Inc.) (the "Corporation") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Corporation issues twelve series of capital shares; each series represents ownership of a separate mutual fund. 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. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Corporation 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. Gold bullion is valued at the last settlement price for current delivery as calculated by the Commodity Exchange, Inc. as of the close of that exchange. 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 under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Corporation's Board of Directors. 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.

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 Corporation 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 Corporation's financial statements. Gains or losses are realized by the Corporation 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 Corporation uses Forward Contracts to attempt to reduce the overall risk of its investments.

E. Federal income taxes - It is the Corporation'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 Corporation 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 the applicable record date. Net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as deferral of wash sales and post-October losses, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and expiring capital loss carryovers. At March 31, 2005, the following amounts were reclassified:

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 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.

A comprehensive discussion of the terms under which shares of each class are offered is contained in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information for the Corporation.

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.

Note 7 - Futures

The Corporation may engage in buying and selling futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Corporation is required to deposit, in a segregated account, an amount of cash or United States Treasury Bills equal to a varying specified percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the initial margin. Subsequent payments ("variation margins") are made or received by the Corporation each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying debt security or index. These changes in the variation margins are recorded by the Corporation as unrealized gains or losses. Upon the closing of the contracts, the cumulative net change in the variation margin is recorded as realized gain or loss. The Corporation uses futures to attempt to reduce the overall risk of its investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
Ivy Funds, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Asset Strategy Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund (formerly Tax-Managed Equity Fund), Core Equity Fund, High Income Fund, International Growth Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Limited-Term Bond Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Money Market Fund, Municipal Bond Fund, Science and Technology Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund (collectively the "Funds") comprising Ivy Funds, Inc. (formerly W&R Funds, Inc.) as of March 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the fiscal year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two fiscal years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. 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.

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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 comprising Ivy Funds, Inc., as of March 31, 2005, the results of their operations for the fiscal year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two fiscal years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
