President's Letter
      March 31, 2006


Dear Shareholder:

Enclosed is our report on your Fund's operations for the 12 months ended March 31, 2006. Stock prices rose during the period despite multiple market challenges. The S&P 500 Index advanced 11.73 percent, led by energy, financial and information technology stocks. Many international and small company stocks posted strong returns for the period as investors generally sought greater portfolio diversification. The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index climbed 24.41 percent.

Lackluster bond market

Bonds were flat for much of the past 12 months, amid tighter central bank monetary policies around the world. The Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Index returned 2.41 percent for the period. Within the U.S. fixed income market, there was a dramatic narrowing of the difference in income potential between money market securities (those maturing in less than a year) and bonds that mature in 10 to 30 years.

Overall, global financial markets contended with volatile energy prices, uncertainties regarding both Federal Reserve policy and U.S. government fiscal policy and negative news related to the Iraq war and Iran's nuclear ambitions. Several U.S. states faced issues related to rebuilding after the worst hurricane season in the nation's history last summer. Nevertheless, corporate profits have remained strong in many sectors even as growth in U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) slowed - we think temporarily - to 1.7 percent in 2005's calendar fourth quarter. Housing markets in the U.S. have cooled as mortgage rates have risen.

Many market professionals have one question in mind these days: how much more will the Federal Reserve have to tighten money before it becomes convinced that inflation is under control? We think that as it becomes clear that the U.S. economy is operating at a sustainable, non-inflationary rate, the two-year-long tightening cycle may end.

Energy's a wild card

This past winter, many Americans were fortunate to enjoy relatively mild weather - blunting the impact of high natural gas prices on consumer spending. Nevertheless, energy costs remain an economic wild card, as evidenced by a recent rebound in gasoline prices with the arrival of spring.

We believe that longer term, higher energy prices are here to stay, creating pain at the pump, but also investment opportunity both here and abroad. That is one reason why we believe that the best way to achieve your long-term financial goals is to develop and maintain a personal financial plan. Through appropriate diversification in multiple asset classes, you potentially take advantage of long-term change and provide greater balance to your portfolio.

Your goals, your plan

Your financial advisor can help you develop an appropriate investment strategy as part of a customized financial plan based on your individual goals. We believe that focusing on that plan, despite the swings of the market, is important as you work toward a sound financial future.

Thank you for your continued confidence in us as long-term stewards of your investments.

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. The President's views are subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions, and no forecasts can be guaranteed.





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, 2006.

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 tables), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182 days in the six-month period ended March 31, 2006, and divided by 365.

**Actual inception date of Class R shares for each Fund is 12-29-05 (the date on which shares were first acquired by shareholders).

(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.

(3)As of March 27, 2006, the investment management fee for Ivy International Fund and Ivy International Value Fund was reduced to 0.85%.

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.





Manager's Discussion of Ivy Balanced Fund
      March 31, 2006


An interview with Cynthia P. Prince-Fox,
portfolio manager of the Ivy Balanced Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund's 9.71 percent return (Class A shares before the impact of sales charges) substantially outperformed the Fund's fixed-income benchmark, but was less than the Fund's equity benchmark. The Citigroup Treasury/Government Sponsored Credit Index (generally reflecting the performance of funds in the bond market) rose 2.18 percent for the period, while the S&P 500 Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the stock market) rose 11.73 percent. Multiple indexes are presented because the Fund invests in stocks and bonds.

Overall, the Fund provided 83 percent of the total return of the S&P 500 Index for the fiscal year with a portfolio that held between 70 percent and 75 percent equities during the year.

The Fund's performance for the fiscal year was slightly higher than the average of its mutual fund peer group. The Lipper Balanced Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 9.50 percent for the fiscal year. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

What factors affected the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark indexes during the fiscal year?

We believe that the most important reasons behind the Fund's relative performance were asset allocation and industry emphasis in equities. Generally speaking, we held a higher proportion of equities in the portfolio during the year than the 2/3 equity- 1/3 bond mix that constitutes a traditional balanced asset mix. This worked well amid a lackluster bond market and a solid 12-month period for U.S. stocks.

During the fiscal year, the equity portion of the portfolio performed well, primarily as a result of our holdings in energy, health care, utilities and industrials. The fixed income portion of the portfolio, while not as strong during a more challenging environment for bonds, performed in-line with the broad investment grade indexes. We feel that our equity strategy of maintaining our weightings in economically sensitive areas throughout the year had a positive impact on overall performance. The energy sector was the best performing sector, as oil prices rose to nearly $70 a barrel. We maintained a higher-than-benchmark position for most of the year in energy, as we felt prices would remain higher than generally anticipated. Within our energy holdings, the infrastructure build-out theme worked well, as expectations for capital spending remained high due to high utilization rates, an aging fleet of rigs and a shortage of offshore rigs.

Utilities, another area of strong equity performance, continued to do well as we felt they offered compelling valuations and dividend yields. Also, utilities with power plants using mostly lower-cost nuclear and coal for fuel benefited from rising energy prices. Industrial stocks were also a key contributor to overall performance as strength in aerospace and the metals and mining sector drove end demand. Our health care exposure was primarily centered on services, distribution and specialty pharmaceuticals. We generally avoided large cap pharmaceutical companies, which we feel also made a meaningful contribution to performance.

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

Over the last 12 months, the financial markets have been in a seesaw pattern, anticipating either a more severe slowdown in the economy or a protracted period of slower, yet still positive, economic growth. We felt the latter seemed more likely as companies have been unwilling to add significantly to either their payrolls or capacity, corroborated by capital spending and hiring trends. This helped to reduce the possibility of excess in the system. The markets were also grappling with the idea of $70 oil and the tendency for past oil spikes to cause a recession. All eyes have been on the consumer in anticipation of a pullback in spending, given a doubling in oil prices over the last year or so. The offset has been increasing disposable income growth from a healthy job market and consumer confidence, aided perhaps by the perception that home prices were still rising this past year.

All these issues, coupled with the uncertainty of how high the Federal Reserve would be willing to raise rates, resulted in short term volatility around any given economic data point. While much of the gains for the year remained clustered in a handful of sectors, specifically energy, we did see a broadening out in performance to other sectors, as oil prices pulled back from the highs reached in September. We view this as a healthy sign as we head into the new fiscal year. The yield curve continued to flatten heading into the final quarter of the calendar year as the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield showed little movement after the Fed raised rates for the 15th consecutive time near the Fund's fiscal year-end.

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

We maintained weightings in economically sensitive areas throughout the year, particularly areas that we felt could benefit from growth in Asia and other emerging economies. We also increased our emphasis on stocks that we feel are likely to demonstrate sustainable growth rates in a decelerating economy, such as health care and consumer staples. Conversely, we had a lower-than-equity benchmark position in consumer discretionary stocks. While not calling for a drastic retrenchment of the consumer, we do anticipate that the consumer may have less discretionary income to spend in the coming months. In our view, higher short-term interest rates (which impact adjustable loans and credit expenses), increased gasoline and heating costs, and a cooling real estate market likely will detract from consumer spending.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the next 12 months?

Overall, we placed our greatest emphasis on industrials, health care and utilities, relative to the weightings of the S&P 500. While the financial sector is the largest-weighted sector in the portfolio, we held a significantly lower position than the benchmark in banks for most of the fiscal year. We have preferred to invest in financial stocks that we feel may benefit from strong secular and demographic trends, such as student lending and wealth management.

We continue to believe that returns from the broad equity market likely will be positive as we move through 2006. We saw a significant compression in P/E multiples in 2005, which some believe could insulate the markets, to some degree, if interest rates or inflation were to move significantly higher. This is a trend that we do not see continuing at this point. While we are optimistic about the continued expansion of the global economy, profit margins are historically high, making earnings growth more highly valued. As far as sector emphasis goes, we believe that selective economically sensitive areas likely will continue to perform well over 2006. We also believe there are some exciting developments occurring in technology and telecommunications. Some of the trends that we are beginning to witness are a result of the digitalization of content and new forms of content distribution, such as MP3 players. While these trends were just a dream five or six years ago, they are real today. We have some exposure to such new and growing developments, and we look to increase that given ongoing consumer technology adoption.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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)12-8-03 for Class B, Class C and 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.

The Advantus Spectrum Fund merged into the Ivy Balanced Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Spectrum Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Balanced Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Balanced Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy Bond Fund
      March 31, 2006


The Ivy Bond Fund is subadvised by Advantus Capital Management, Inc. The following is an interview with Christopher R. Sebald, CFA, David W. Land, CFA, and Thomas B. Houghton, portfolio managers of the Fund.

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund increased 1.74 percent for the fiscal year (Class A shares, before the impact of sales charges), compared with the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the bond market), which increased 2.41 percent for the year. The Fund performed in line with its peer group, as the Lipper Corporate Debt Funds A-Rated Universe Average (reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 1.73 percent for the year. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

Specific security selection was the main driver of performance for the portfolio, in our view. The portfolio was overweight in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), both of which generated positive excess returns versus Treasuries. Additionally, the portfolio maintained a curve-flattening position and the yield curve flattened substantially over the period. Nonetheless, the fiscal year brought a generally difficult market for bonds, primarily notable for an ongoing and steady increase in short-term interest rates. Coupled with the mostly flat long-term interest rates, the challenges impacted overall return for the Fund and the peer group.

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

Short-term interest rates rose significantly, with consistent increases in the Federal Funds rate over the fiscal year. The two-year Treasury rose by 104 basis points (1.04 percent) and the 10-year rate rose by 37 basis points (0.37 percent). The spread sectors had mixed results for the year, with non-mortgage-backed security structured finance doing very well and corporate bonds generating a negative excess return for the year.

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

Relative value trading among non-Treasury fixed income securities remains the Fund's primary strategy. We believe that our timely purchases and sales of corporate bonds in the auto sector brought the most benefit of any particular sector over the past year. The portfolio was overweight to corporate bonds for the entire year, as we found many attractive securities that added value. However, this overweight position in corporates had a slightly negative impact on the portfolio's performance; corporate bonds underperformed Treasuries and every other sector in the investment grade universe.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the next 12 months?

Primary changes in holdings over the period included an increase in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and a decrease in corporate bonds. We believe that CMBS continue to provide an attractive high quality substitute versus many corporate bonds.

As we move through 2006, we've come to believe that the Fed is very close to ending its tightening cycle. The economy remains strong and we look for continued strong job growth as corporations add employees. This should become a more significant driver of growth, in our opinion, than any ongoing increase in consumer spending. We remain positive on the performance potential of non-Treasury sectors in general. The likely end of the Fed's tightening cycle in 2006 could be positive for credit and spreads as borrowing costs stabilize. We feel that the portfolio's overweight positions in CMBS and ABS should benefit from this change. The portfolio is only slightly overweight in corporate bonds, primarily due to a lack of attractive opportunities and generally narrow spreads for most securities in the sector. We continue to be less positive on corporates versus other sectors. We do believe that the long duration segment of the corporate market is attractive, however, with the spread between 10-year and 30-year corporate bonds remaining wide by historical measures. We intend to add more exposure in long corporates should this trend continue.

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.

Please note that securities issued by certain U.S. Government-sponsored entities, including the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) are not funded by Congressional appropriations and the debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by them are neither guaranteed nor insured by the United States Government.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

Fixed-income securities are subject to interest-rate risk and, as such, the net asset value of the Fund may fall as interest rates rise.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

(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)12-8-03 for Class B, Class C and 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.

The Advantus Bond Fund merged into the Ivy Bond Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Bond Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Bond Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Bond Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Cash Reserves Fund
      March 31, 2006


An interview with Mira Stevovich, CFA,
portfolio manager of the Ivy Cash Reserves Fund

The following discussion and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Please note that this Fund is closed to new investors.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund remained competitive with peer money market funds during the fiscal year. The overall yield increased gradually over the year, due primarily to increases in market rates of interest, as the Federal Reserve increased the Federal Fund's rate consistently over the course of the year. The fiscal year began with the Federal Funds rate at 2.75 percent. The Federal Reserve continued to remove excess liquidity from the financial system by increasing short-term interest rates in a steady and measured way. At fiscal year-end the Federal Funds rate was 4.75 percent, up 2 percentage points from the previous fiscal year.

What factors affected performance during the fiscal year?

Certainly the increase in short-term interest rates was a major factor in the overall performance of the Fund. The steady march of rate increases kept us reinvesting at higher rates of interest, thereby increasing the yield on the Fund.

Credit quality also 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. However, these securities do not always pay the highest rates of interest, meaning that the overall yield can be held down somewhat by the higher quality bias.

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

Investors in the short-term market have kept their investments relatively short in anticipation of future rate increases. As a result, yields on securities with very short maturities became depressed. Also, the uncertainty over the ultimate timing and magnitude of interest rate increases influenced longer-dated securities, limiting the typical upward reaction to increases in short-term rates. This also kept investors at the shorter end of the short-term market, somewhat suppressing 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). In an effort 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. We feel that floating-rate taxable municipal and corporate securities have been excellent investment vehicles during this incrementally increasing interest rate environment. The more frequently the rate change of the floating-rate security, the more quickly interest rate increases are captured in the Fund.

What industries did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the next 12 months?

Our first emphasis is credit quality. Beyond that, we have maintained a substantial portion of the Fund in the floating rate security sector, attempting to take advantage of increasing rates of interest. We intend to continue to hold securities of this type going forward; however, due to the uncertainty of future interest rate increases, we may look to add longer-dated securities, thereby locking-in higher rates of interest.

Recently, we also have invested in asset-backed commercial paper programs, as they generally provide higher yields, while also providing high credit quality. We intend to look to increase our exposure to this sector when the opportunity presents itself.

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

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.

Please remember that an investment in the Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund
      March 31, 2006


The Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund is subadvised by Cundill Investment Research Ltd. The following is an interview with F. Peter Cundill, CFA, and Hiok Hhu Ng, CFA, portfolio managers of the Fund.

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund did well on an absolute basis, returning 17.49 percent (Class A shares before the impact of sales charges), although it slightly underperformed its benchmark. The Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the global stock market) rose 18.02 percent for the fiscal year.

The Fund did outperform one peer group over the fiscal year, as represented by the Lipper Global Small/Mid-Cap Value Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of small-cap and mid-cap funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 17.34 percent for the fiscal year, although it underperformed a broader peer group, represented by the Lipper Global Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) which returned 20.11 percent for the same period. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

We nearly kept pace with our benchmark, despite the challenge in finding investments that fall under our value investment criteria. As a result, continued cash inflows marginally diluted performance and compounded the cash drag on performance.

For the fiscal year, the Fund's top five equity performers in descending order were Nikko Cordial, KT&G, Kirin Brewery, Dongwon Financial Holding Co., Ltd. and Italmobiliare. Our five primary detractors from performance were FFH, Mabuchi, Acom, Liberty Media Global and CANTV.

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

The Fund had its largest equity exposure in Japan. In the spring of 2005, the Japanese holdings in the Fund continued to languish until an election was called by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. Since then, our Japanese holdings have appreciated significantly amid increased investor demand, compounded by a change in analysts' sentiment. On a trip in Asia last year, we found it was evident that interest in Japan was higher than it had been in years. We positioned the Fund in an effort to take advantage of improved valuations there.

Confidence continues to improve in Asia and many balance sheets are getting stronger on the back of better operating fundamentals. South Korea made the most lasting impression due to the structural changes it has and continues to undergo. This can be validated by the restructuring that is ongoing at Korea Tobacco & Ginseng (KT&G), the Fund's second largest holding. This firm has been subject to much media attention. Carl Icahn and Warren Lichtenstein attempted a hostile takeover of KT&G, as they believed that management was not doing enough to unlock shareholder value. Management has recently announced that they are in negotiations to sell non-core assets.

The devastation caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita took a significant amount of capacity out of the insurance industry and has had an impact on short-term earnings of our insurance holdings. We believe that premiums, deductibles and contract terms could be more onerous in 2006 as a result of the unprecedented damages caused by the hurricanes.

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

We strive to stay true to our focused and concentrated approach to value investing. Our top 10 holdings represented approximately 40 percent of total net assets at the end of this fiscal year.

The Fund's largest Japanese position, Nikko Cordial, has performed well due to fundamental improvements. Nikko's March 2006 earnings from its retail, wholesale, principal investment and asset management divisions contributed to record earnings and dividends since March 2001, when Nikko formed its holding company structure. Nikko is currently in negotiations to purchase an equity stake in Lone Star Bank. If an agreement can be reached, this would be the first time in Japan where a broker acquires a bank.

We continue to have a significant presence in the Japanese consumer finance sector, which we believe may benefit from potential regulatory reform. Investors remain uncertain of the legislative outcome, and this uncertainty has been priced into our holdings. This allows us to add more to our existing positions with greater comfort. Still, aside from the consumer finance sector, we are finding value ideas harder to come by, even in Japan.

What is your outlook for the months ahead?

At fiscal year-end, stocks in the portfolio traded at 79 percent of what we believe is intrinsic value. Despite this potential value cushion, uncovering value ideas remains challenging. We will not invest for the sake of being fully invested. If this drought of ideas persists and our existing investments attain or exceed their respective intrinsic value, we may increase the Fund's cash positioning.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

International investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political or economic conditions affecting the foreign country, and differences in accounting standards and foreign regulations.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

Please note that the performance of the Fund's other share classes will be greater or less than the performance shown above for Class A 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 sales load at the time of the investment and by the ongoing expenses of the Fund and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

(2)Because the Fund commenced operations on a date other than at the end of a month, and partial month calculations of the performance of the indexes (including income) are not available, investment in the indexes was effected as of September 30, 2001.

(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.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Dividend Income Fund
      March 31, 2006


An interview with David P. Ginther, CPA, portfolio manager of the Ivy Dividend Income Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund's Class A shares increased 19.99 percent during the fiscal year (before the impact of sales charges). This compares with the Russell 1000 Index (the index that generally reflects the performance of the large cap sector of the stock market), which increased 13.20 percent, and the Lipper Equity Income Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 11.36 percent. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

We believe the Fund benefited from its focus on the energy and basic materials sectors. Energy stocks continued to increase due, in our opinion, to long-term secular fundamentals that have allowed oil prices generally to remain higher than expected. Oil supply remains tight, with OPEC's spare capacity at its lowest level since the 1970s, and oil producers are struggling to bring on new supply, even with climbing oil prices. Also, demand remains strong in the U.S. and China, despite oil's rapid price increase over the last two years. Basic industry stocks benefited from strong demand for commodities, due, in our view, to China's economy growing at a faster pace than forecasted. The Fund continues to focus on what we feel are high-quality, large-capitalization companies with strong cash flow that potentially can grow their dividend.

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

We saw a number of challenging events over the period, although the financial markets and the economy remained resilient. Crude oil prices experienced significant price volatility, rising substantially in late September in the wake of Gulf Coast hurricanes, only to retreat slightly in late December before climbing again throughout the first three months of 2006. The Federal Reserve continued to raise short-term interest rates throughout the fiscal year, as economic data indicated solid growth with the potential for accelerating inflation brought on by the higher energy prices. We are beginning to see companies make use of stronger balance sheets, as evidenced by acquisitions activity and a rising number of companies increasing their dividends.

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

We remain overweight the energy group because we feel that long-term investment opportunity remains positive as worldwide demand, led by the U.S. and China, continues to outpace supply growth. We continue to remain cautious on the consumer, as we feel that higher energy costs, combined with the low savings rate, could potentially reduce discretionary spending. Our strategy continues to target total returns through dividend growth and capital gains.

We focus on large-capitalization, high-quality companies with established operating records that we believe can accelerate their dividend payout ratio in the future. We look for holdings with strong balance sheets and cash flow that we believe are market leaders in their industries. We believe companies that can continue to grow earnings and increase cash flow likely will increase their dividend payout ratio. We also attempted to position the Fund to take advantage of attractive fundamentals associated with commodities resulting from global economic growth, primarily in China.

What is your outlook for the next 12 months?

While we believe that economic growth may slow somewhat, we do feel that the economy will grow through the remainder of 2006, considering that inflation concerns appear to have moderated. Also, capital spending trends have begun to improve, and the job market shows signs of strength. We remain positive on the financial markets, as we feel the Federal Reserve may be nearing the end of its tightening cycle. We believe companies will use stronger corporate balance sheets for acquisitions, to increase dividends and to repurchase shares. We continue to focus on large-cap companies with established operating records and the cash flow to potentially grow their dividends.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

(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.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy European Opportunities Fund
      March 31, 2006


The Ivy European Opportunities Fund is subadvised by Henderson Investment Management Ltd. The following is an interview with Stephen Peak and Paul Casson, portfolio managers of the Fund.*

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

Although the Fund showed a positive 19.41 percent return (Class A shares before the impact of sales charges) over the period, it did underperform its benchmark. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the European stock market) rose 20.64 percent for the fiscal year. The Fund's performance for the fiscal year was also less than its mutual fund peer group, as the Lipper European Region Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 24.74 percent for the fiscal year. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

During the fiscal year, we gradually increased the large cap position of the Fund's portfolio. We now feel that this was detrimental to performance, as smaller company stocks in Europe outperformed large ones.

In addition, the Fund was affected by disappointing stock-specific events both early in the fiscal year and near the end of the year. First, Regal Petroleum fell sharply in April and May 2005 after an exploratory well proved to be uneconomical. This past winter, we were also negatively affected by the underperformance of Russian food retailer Pyaterochka. The firm's shares fell sharply in December after the company announced a sudden drop in sales at its St. Petersburg outlets. We had already reduced our position prior to this setback, as the shares had increased quite strongly since an initial public offering earlier in the year. After the profit warning, we eliminated the position.

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

European equity markets began the reporting year by falling back in April 2005 as investors reacted nervously to U.S. economic releases, which suggested a combination of slower growth and higher inflation. A number of earnings disappointments in the U.S. and Europe appeared to exacerbate market nerves. After two months in the doldrums, European equity markets bounced back in May and June, comfortably outperforming both the U.K. and U.S. in local currency terms. Another negative event during the period was the failure of the European Union constitution, but this appeared to be mainly a political occurrence that hindered economic growth only in the short term, in our view. The portfolio was unaffected, given that we focused on choosing companies that we felt had good earnings prospects and were not dependent on political events in the European economy or the European Union.

Markets were volatile over the summer of 2005 as investors worried about the impact of rising oil prices on corporate profits and inflation - a strong upward move in September was followed by a correction in October. The German election result in September was disappointing and indecisive but failed to hold back stock markets there for long. European equity markets started 2006 in positive fashion, as merger and acquisition activity and corporate restructuring remained the dominant themes. The latest indicators suggest that the euro-zone economy is growing strongly and a German survey of business confidence rose to its highest level since the unification boom.

The U.S. dollar fell in the first quarter of 2006, following a strong calendar-year 2005. In the short term, we anticipate that the euro may trade around current levels, although in the longer term we feel that the U.S. current account deficit may lead to further dollar weakness.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the next 12 months?

While our market capitalization strategy did not perform as expected, some of our sector weightings yielded success over the fiscal year. The Fund's higher-than-benchmark weighting in energy stocks, which we increased during the last 12 months, provided exceptionally positive results.

European markets appear to remain underpinned by reasonable valuations and continuing merger and acquisition activity. We believe equities could potentially benefit from the impact of restructurings on earnings and cost cutting. We also see a gradually improving economic background that we believe has the potential to underpin share prices. We continue to search for what we feel are undervalued stocks when suitable investments arise and strongly believe that any periods of uncertainty are likely to provide a fertile hunting ground for our stock picking approach.

In the months ahead, as we consider investment opportunities, we plan to concentrate on understanding companies as businesses, their market positioning and interaction with suppliers and customers. Cash flow is the main driver we consider. We also analyze the earnings potential of the company, returns to different capital providers and the ability to reinvest for growth. As equity investors, we believe it is necessary to understand all business commitments to determine what may generate returns to shareholders. Companies that exploit a niche or bottleneck to drive pricing power likely will be preferred, as we think they provide the best scope for a combination of earnings upgrades and expansion of valuation multiples.

Given the current market environment, we intend to be especially mindful of cheap stocks that are actually "value-traps." Such companies tend not to have visible catalysts to performance, and we will strive to avoid them. As a general rule, we intend to sell stocks when their valuation accurately reflects all identified drivers and catalysts.

*Please note that, in April 2006, Paul Casson replaced Stephen Peak as portfolio manager of the fund.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

International investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political or economic conditions affecting the foreign country, and differences in accounting standards and foreign regulations.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

Please note that the performance of the Fund's other share classes will be greater or less than the performance shown above for Class A 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 sales load at the time of the investment and by the ongoing expenses of the Fund and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

(2)Because the Fund commenced operations on a date other than at the end of a month, and partial month calculations of the performance of the indexes (including income) are not available, investment in the indexes was effected as of May 31, 1999.

(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)Advisor Class shares are no longer available for investment.

(5)5-4-99 for Class A shares, 5-24-99 for Class B shares, 10-24-99 for Class C shares, 7-24-03 for Class Y shares and 5-3-99 for Advisor Class 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.

A large portion of the Fund's since inception return is attributable to investments in initial public offerings without which the Fund's return would have been lower.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund
      March 31, 2006


The Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund is subadvised by Mackenzie Financial Corporation. The following is an interview with Frederick Sturm, CFA, portfolio manager of the Fund.

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the past fiscal year?

The Fund did quite well, returning 40.76 percent (Class A shares before the impact of sales charges) over the fiscal year and outperforming its benchmark. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Commodity-Related Index (generally reflecting the performance of the global natural resource markets) rose 28.26 percent for the year. The Fund's performance for the fiscal year was also slightly higher than the average of its mutual fund peer group, as the Lipper Natural Resources Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 39.32 percent for the fiscal period. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

During the past year, the Fund enjoyed a positive contribution from almost all resource sub-sectors. Global energy was the standout up to the hurricane-related disruption of energy supplies. Beginning last autumn, basic materials became the performance leader, particularly precious metals. The Fund's progressive shift from energy to gold last year initially held back relative performance, but then contributed well during the second half of the fiscal year. We believe that the Fund also added value by building up moderate cash reserves and by switching into larger, lower volatility companies in anticipation of both the October and February sector declines, and by subsequently taking advantage of the retreat.

We gradually gained some exposure into what we saw as beaten down chemicals companies, a losing strategy, but then we switched into specialty chemicals stocks, and these performed better. We also feel that our global diversification was a positive contributor, with the Fund's 10 to 15 percent exposure to Brazil being particularly beneficial.

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

We believe that our selection of securities, rotating between sectors, incorporating foreign markets, and occasionally holding cash reserves, have all contributed to the Fund's results. Over the year, global equity markets extended the rally that began in late 2002. Country equity indices that have significant resource weightings, such as Australia, Brazil, Russia, and Canada moved into record high territory. Developed economies such as Germany, Japan and the U.S., advanced as well but have yet to recover to the levels at the start of the decade.

In the United States, the consumer remained the main driver of activity, whereas in China, capital investment has been key. Seen holistically, both U.S. consumers and Chinese producers continue to benefit from the arrangement. However, we feel that the U.S. is currently living beyond its means. Combine the dual trade and budget deficits and you get a $3 billion per day expense that must be financed primarily by foreign investors. Over the long term, we feel that this will be difficult to sustain.

Going forward, we believe that capital investment into production will need to improve in the U.S. and consumer spending will need to broaden out in China. We remain of the view that there is pressure on the U.S. dollar that likely will only be mitigated to the extent that the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to keep foreign capital inflows intact and remain competitive with other central banks.

Elsewhere, Japan continues to transition out of deflation, and business climate expectations in Germany have risen to the highest level since 1991. Brazil and Russia are good examples where the accumulation of wealth is filtering into broader positive growth. India is pursuing more infrastructure development and extending more loans to sponsor entrepreneurialism. We believe developments in India are particularly noteworthy for resource investors because, by looking at demographic trends and other economic yardsticks, India appears to be 15 or 20 years behind China but on a similar course. We know what Chinese growth has meant for resource consumption, now India appears to be joining the parade.

What strategies and techniques did you employ, and what subsectors did you emphasize, that specifically affected Fund performance?

Currency realignments are often part of a global balance of payments adjustment process, and the Fund continues to hold precious metals as potential insurance against a falling U.S. dollar. This strategy paid off handsomely during the fiscal year. After a record 15 consecutive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, short-term deposits are becoming a less punitive short-term defensive alternative - one that we have attempted to take advantage of. This is where, in our opinion, our experience managing natural resources stocks during the more difficult 1980s and 1990s is proving helpful. In the last quarter of the fiscal year, we raised close to 15 percent cash in January 2006 and then reinvested the money as natural resources prices slipped in February and early March.

Broadly speaking, resource stock price valuations remain fair, in our view. However, we believe it is important to take advantage of short-term market volatility when some companies appear temporarily undervalued based on earnings prospects. This is why we added to off-shore drillers and oil service companies during a market pullback in February 2006. Monitoring natural gas inventories also helped set up profitable trades in natural gas stocks this past year.

Other than precious metals, where profits are only finally beginning to improve, resource companies are broadly generating significant cash to pay down debt, reducing the riskiness of companies and potentially providing share purchase support should prices slip. We expect another round of consolidation to begin in earnest once commodity prices level out. In terms of potential new ideas, it strikes us that an increase in bond yields could lead to an interesting opportunity in energy utilities, an industry that appears to be consolidating.

What is your outlook for the next 12 months?

Going forward, on balance, we feel that the macro level indicators remain just that - balanced. Global corporate earnings and earnings in the resources sectors continue to advance to new record highs, but we fear that persistent inflation pressures could push interest rates to a level that would bite into economic growth and cause a temporary equity market pull-back. Stocks still look like a better deal than bonds or cash for longer-term investors, in our opinion. However, a risk could develop that investors stop worrying about rising interest rates and push stocks higher in the face of bond market declines. This progression, if it continues, may be similar to the sequence that led to a sell-off in 1987. However, we feel that more bearish evidence is required before becoming very defensive. We also keep in mind that when central banks stopped increasing rates in 1995, stocks advanced significantly over the following year. We therefore intend to maintain a balanced view, remain flexible, and be prepared to build some cash reserves if divergences continue. Overall, the Fund continues to balance domestic investment opportunities with foreign securities and precious metals

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

International investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political or economic conditions affecting the foreign country, and differences in accounting standards and foreign regulations.

Investing in companies involved in one specified sector may be more risky and volatile than an investment with greater diversification.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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 International Fund
      March 31, 2006

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

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund had a strong performance, with a 30.92 percent return (Class A shares, before the impact of sales charges). The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index, (generally reflecting the performance of securities that represent the international equity markets) rose 24.41 percent over the fiscal year. The Fund's performance for the fiscal year was also strong relative to its mutual fund peer group, as the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 25.09 percent for the period. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

We believe that both country selection and stock selection helped the Fund's performance versus the benchmark during the fiscal year. We specifically think that performance was enhanced by our higher-than-benchmark positions in energy and financials, as well as favorable stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. Fund performance also benefited from our heavy concentration in Japanese equities and our significantly lower-than-benchmark exposure to the United Kingdom.

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

Global financial markets were volatile in the first half of the fiscal year, as rising energy prices fueled inflationary trends and created economic uncertainties. These concerns eased in the final quarter of 2005, resulting in impressive equity market gains that extended into early 2006. By March, higher energy prices had returned and were accompanied by much higher bond yields. Tighter global monetary policy became a greater concern, particularly for emerging markets where ample liquidity is an important financial market component. Despite these risks, business trends were strong in most of Asia and continued to improve across Continental Europe, particularly in Germany. Economic activity remained more subdued in Britain and outside the resource areas of Australia. Global wage inflation was moderate, despite improving employment trends in most regions. Although most central banks continued to raise official interest rates, this proceeded at a gradual pace and from very low historical levels.

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

Our significant concentration in Japanese equities reflects growing investor confidence in Japan. This was enhanced by autumn election results showing broad public support for further political, social and economic reform. We also have continued to focus on Switzerland and other areas of Continental Europe where domestic demand improvement has accelerated and export growth remains strong. We now have a large position in German manufacturing companies that we believe may experience a decline in labor costs due to ongoing labor reforms. Exposure to Australia and Britain remained below benchmark levels due to relatively high interest rates, falling home prices and generally deteriorating economic fundamentals, including currency risk.

What industries did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the next 12 months?

We have continued to emphasize growth companies in Continental Europe, which we feel could benefit from strong global demand, especially export companies that enjoy a solid competitive position. Attractive consumer discretionary holdings have been maintained in areas where domestic demand has recently improved, primarily in core Europe and Japan. We were rewarded by our higher-than-benchmark positions in financials and energy during the fiscal year, but we anticipate continuing to scrutinize our energy exposure, along with energy price volatility and sector events.

General investor sentiment improved in late 2005, but has been volatile toward fiscal year-end, following equity market volatility. We believe that this volatility may extend into mid-year as investors observe market conditions and central bank actions. We believe that Federal Reserve monetary tightening may be nearly complete, which we believe could present a generally favorable scenario for global financial markets.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

International investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political or economic conditions affecting the foreign country, and differences in accounting standards and foreign regulations.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy International Balanced Fund


The Ivy International Balanced Fund is subadvised by Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC. The following is an interview with E. Tucker Scott III, CFA, Alexander C. Calvo and Michael Hasenstab, portfolio managers of the Fund.

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Please note that effective March 2006, Mr. Hasenstab was added as a portfolio manager of the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund's 10.14 percent return (Class A shares, before the impact of sales charges) was weak relative to the global equity market and the Fund's mutual fund peer group. We underperformed the Fund's equity benchmark and outperformed our fixed income benchmark. The Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World (Excluding U.S.A.) Index (generally reflecting the performance of securities that represent international equity markets) rose 28.13 percent for the fiscal year. The international bond market, represented by the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Government Bond Index (generally reflecting the performance of international government bonds), fell 6.53 percent for the period. The Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 14.74 percent for the period.

A variety of indexes are presented because the Fund invests in stocks, bonds and other instruments. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

What factors affected the Fund's performance during the fiscal year?

Although international stocks provided strong returns for the period, the equity portion of the Fund did not fully participate in the rally because we trimmed positions in cyclical industries, such as chemicals, metals and mining, which were among the year's better performers. At the same time, we increased the Fund's weighting in global media and telecommunications service industries, and had a higher-than-benchmark weighting in paper manufacturing. These industries did not do as well as the overall market over the fiscal year. At an equity sector level, we sacrificed relative performance with the belief and expectation that the market likely will recognize the potential of our more value-oriented equity selections over time.

Within the equity portion of the Fund, we believe that some of our country weightings did not help our results. We had a significantly lower-than-benchmark weighting in Japan, where equities fared well amid renewed prospects for economic growth. One positive performance factor was our higher-than-benchmark weighting in South Korea.

As noted above, international government bonds dropped in value over the fiscal year. Central banks in Europe, Japan and the U.S. tightened monetary policy amid heightened concerns about inflation. With a nearly 30 percent weighting in foreign government bonds at the start of the fiscal year, total portfolio return was adversely affected by drops in bond prices in European countries such as Sweden. We did not have exposure to the U.S. bond market, where longer-term securities performed unexpectedly well. Bright spots within the Fund's bond portfolio included Canada, Poland and Norway, where our holdings generated positive performance. A lower than benchmark position in U.K. government bonds hurt our results, however.

Overall, we feel that our asset allocation strategy of maintaining a 60 to 65 percent equity and 35 to 40 percent international fixed income and cash mix put us at a disadvantage. It appears that some of our balanced fund peers benefited from a lower weighting in international bonds for the period. Over the course of the fiscal year, we reduced the Fund's cash position from 9.3 percent to just over 6 percent, and this generally helped our results.

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

A global economic recovery continued during the fiscal year despite elevated energy prices. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth increased at a fair pace in each quarter during calendar year 2005 in the U.S., the euro zone and Japan. Nonetheless, the U.S. housing market showed signs of cooling after several years of strong growth.

In March 2006, the Bank of Japan ended its deflation-fighting policy, which we feel could allow short-term rates to increase from their effective rate of zero percent. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board increased the Federal Funds target rate in eight quarter-point increments, reaching 4.75 percent by fiscal year-end. The European Central Bank increased short term rates twice to 2.50 percent, after keeping them unchanged since June 2003. Even after these increases, both rates remained at levels considered supportive of further economic growth, and neither bank ruled out future rate increases. Excluding the volatile energy and food sectors, inflation was relatively subdued worldwide.

Strong demand for oil sustained high prices during most of the reporting period, while prices for other commodities, such as industrial metals, were also high, led by copper, over the 12-month period. This contributed to economic growth in countries such as Australia and Canada, and emerging markets in Asia and Latin America that are tied to mining and industrial commodities.

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

Our strategy is to attempt to find securities that are selling at a substantial discount to our determination of their fair market value, based on earnings and cash flow growth. Our analysts employ fundamental valuation techniques and five-year earnings and cash flow forecasts in an effort to identify what they feel are the most attractive stocks globally. Our investment process, however, has always been value-driven. About five years ago we were finding many of our new "bargain list" securities in the materials and industrial sectors. Over the fiscal year, we found bargains in industries such as paper, media, and telecommunication services. Consequently, we gradually shifted the equity portfolio into these areas.

Within the international bond portion of the Fund, we relied on active duration management in an effort to add value. Short duration positioning during the global interest rate tightening cycle has generally benefited the fixed income portion of the Fund. While our holdings in Asia reflected a short duration positioning, we felt that individual country developments warranted different duration positioning between markets. For example, despite higher interest rates in Europe this past year, Poland reduced rates. Although Poland's economic growth began to accelerate, currency appreciation and excess capacity pushed inflation below the central bank's inflation target, prompting the central bank in Warsaw to reduce interest rates 200 basis points this past year. Our holdings in Poland consequently benefited.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year?

Materials provided the strongest contribution to returns of any sector in our equity portion of the portfolio during the fiscal year. Although we have trimmed some positions, we maintain what we feel is a prudent exposure to the energy, materials, and industrial sectors, as we feel some companies may continue to benefit from global economic growth.

As mentioned earlier, we saw value in the underperforming global telecommunications industry. However, the market did not share this view and two telecom firms were among the top equity detractors for Fund performance. We feel investor fears of competition and regulatory risks over the last 12 months were overblown, and we remain confident in our selections. In fact, the Fund is currently positioned with its highest telecom weighting relative to our benchmark since the mid-1990s.

Compared to a decade ago, telecom valuations are now lower and dividend yields are higher. We believe valuations for this sector are compelling and may compensate investors for the lower growth outlook in the sector. Over the last several years, telecom companies have focused on cutting costs, repairing balance sheets, and expanding their cash flow, and we feel the market will eventually reward this.

What is your outlook for the next 12 months?

Historically, our value-oriented approach to stock investing has resulted in temporary periods of short-term underperformance. While we cannot guarantee what will happen in the future, we are confident in the portfolio's current positioning. Going forward, we are concerned that the current high level of corporate profitability may not be sustainable. Our emphasis, therefore, will continue to be on picking securities that we feel are less exposed to rising cost pressures and those with valuations that we believe can support a price-earnings ratio (P/E) expansion, even if profits were  to retreat.   Within the international government bond market, we intend to focus on those countries with restrained inflation and that we believe possess sound fiscal policies.

Within the bond portion of the Fund, we have generally favored shifting our European exposure from Euro area countries to non-Euro European exposure, such as Norway and Poland. Additionally, we have increased exposure to Asia and Canada. We like Canadian bonds because energy and commodity prices continue to underpin Canada's overall economic environment. Additionally, we believe that higher commodity prices are bolstering Canada's balance of payment position through higher exports and increased capital flows into the energy sector. Also, unlike the U.S., Canada runs a federal budget surplus.

Our international bond portfolio's positioning in Asia reflects a medium-term strategy, which seeks to take advantage of the global imbalances, predominantly between Asia and the U.S. We feel Asia is well positioned to enter a period of growth driven by both continued positive export performance as well as a deepening of domestic demand. Over the past year, robust export performance and a competitive labor market translated into better job and income growth, supporting a revival in consumption growth in many Asian countries. There also is a large pool of resources in Asia to support domestic demand growth. To help position for this potential scenario, we increased exposure to Korea, Singapore and Thailand.

From a macroeconomic standpoint, we believe that the rise in global interest rates could begin to curb inflationary pressures. From our bottom-up perspective, however, we view rising input prices such as energy, raw materials and labor not only as an inflationary problem, but more so as an impending squeeze on profitability. It appears that many manufacturers and retailers today are not fully able to pass on those costs through either volume gains or output prices, which suggests strongly that profit margins could potentially be ready to wane.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

International investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political or economic conditions affecting the foreign country, and differences in accounting standards and foreign regulations.

Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and, as such, the net asset value of the Fund may fall as interest rates rise.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

(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)12-8-03 for Class B, Class C and 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.

The Advantus International Balanced Fund merged into the Ivy International Balanced Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus International Balanced Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy International Balanced Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy International Balanced Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy International Value Fund
      March 31, 2006


An interview with Thomas A. Mengel and John C. Maxwell, CFA, portfolio managers of the Ivy International Value Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Please note that effective February 2006, Mr. Maxwell was added as a portfolio manager of the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund did quite well, as its 35.49 percent return (Class A shares before the impact of sales charges) outperformed the Fund's benchmark. The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (generally reflecting the performance of securities that represent the international equity markets) rose 24.41 percent for the fiscal year. The Fund's performance for the fiscal year was also strong relative to its mutual fund peer group, as the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 25.08 percent for the period. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

We believe that both country selection and stock selection helped the Fund outperform the benchmark during the fiscal year. We feel that, specifically, performance was enhanced by our large concentrations in energy and industrials, as well as favorable stock selection in financials. Fund performance also benefited from our heavy exposure to Japanese equities for most of the period and our significantly lower-than-benchmark position in United Kingdom stocks.

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

Global financial markets were volatile in the first half of the fiscal year as rising energy prices fueled inflationary trends and created economic uncertainties. These concerns eased in the final calendar quarter of 2005, resulting in impressive equity market gains that extended into early 2006. By March, higher energy prices had returned and were accompanied by much higher bond yields. Tighter global monetary policy became a greater concern, particularly for emerging markets, where ample liquidity is an important component. Despite these risks, business trends were strong in most of Asia and continued to improve across Continental Europe, particularly in Germany. Economic activity remained more subdued in Britain and outside the resource areas of Australia. Global wage inflation was moderate, despite improving employment trends in most regions. Although most central banks continued to raise official interest rates, this proceeded at a gradual pace and from very low historical levels.

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

Our significant concentration in Japanese equities reflected growing investor confidence in Japan, which was enhanced by autumn election results showing broad public support for further political, social and economic reform. Although still quite significant, our Japanese exposure was reduced slightly toward fiscal year-end due to valuation concerns. We also have continued to focus on Switzerland and other areas of Continental Europe, where we feel that domestic demand improvement has accelerated and export growth remains strong. This includes a focus on the German manufacturing sector, where we believe that attractive opportunities exist due to ongoing labor reform. Exposure to Australia and Britain remained below benchmark levels, due to relatively high interest rates, falling home prices and generally deteriorating economic fundamentals, including currency risk.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the next 12 months?

We were rewarded by our holdings in energy, industrials and financials during the fiscal year, but we intend to closely monitor these sectors for pricing and valuation trends. We expect our emphasis to remain on healthy companies that we feel may benefit from the growing world economy, particularly those connected to China's industrial expansion. Particular focus is likely to remain on what we see as under-appreciated companies that we feel possess impressive pricing power. We also intend to seek attractive consumer-related opportunities in areas where domestic demand has not yet fully recovered.

General investor sentiment improved in late 2005, but became more volatile toward fiscal year-end, following equity market volatility. We believe that this volatility may extend into mid-year as investors observe market conditions and central bank actions. We also think that Federal Reserve monetary tightening may be nearly complete, which we believe could present a generally favorable scenario for global financial markets.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

International investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political or economic conditions affecting the foreign country, and differences in accounting standards and foreign regulations.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

Please note that the performance of the Fund's other share classes will be greater or less than the performance shown above for Class A 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 sales load at the time of the investment and by the ongoing expenses of the Fund and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

(2)Because the Fund commenced operations on a date other than at the end of a month, and partial month calculations of the performance of the indexes (including income) are not available, investment in the indexes was effected as of May 31, 1997.

(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)Advisor Class shares are no longer available for investment.

(5)5-13-97 for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, 7-24-03 for Class Y shares and 2-23-98 for Advisor Class 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.

Managers' Discussion of Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund
      March 31, 2006


The Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund is subadvised by Advantus Capital Management, Inc. The following is an interview with Christopher R. Sebald, CFA, and David W. Land, CFA, portfolio managers of the Fund.

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund's 2.24 percent return (Class A shares, before the impact of sales charges) was slightly less than the return of the benchmark. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (reflecting the performance of issues that generally represent the mortgage-backed securities market) rose 2.68 percent for the fiscal year, while the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 2.06 percent for the period. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

Mortgages were the best-performing sector of a relatively weak fixed income market over the fiscal year, amid continued monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve. Security selection was the main driver of performance for the Fund, in our view, as it provided a modest level of additional value that partially offset security price declines.

During the fiscal year, we held a higher-than-benchmark position in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS). CMBS and ABS securities fared well compared to U.S. Treasuries and the mortgage-backed (MBS) security pass-through market. MBS securities represented more than half of the Fund's portfolio during the fiscal year. Our positioning in MBS was lower than that of the benchmark, and this negatively impacted performance in a significant manner at various times during the year, as MBS securities moved in and out of favor.

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

For the fiscal year, two-year U.S. Treasury prices declined as yields rose by 104 basis points (1.04 percent). Ten-year U.S. Treasury prices also dropped slightly, with yields rising by 37 basis points (0.37 percent) for the period. Generally speaking, prices of shorter-term government bonds fell amid a substantial narrowing in the difference in interest rates between securities across the yield curve.

Recent economic data indicate that the U.S. economy rebounded strongly from the 1.7 percent gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the fourth calendar quarter of 2005. Manufacturing appears to have been particularly strong, with regional Federal Reserve surveys and the Chicago purchasing managers index both pointing to a pickup in new orders. The most recent consumer data shows some slowing from very strong spending levels. However, consumer confidence levels are high, reflecting a strong job market.

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

Relative value trading among individual securities in the MBS, ABS and CMBS markets remains our primary strategy.

As rates increased, the portfolio's average duration also increased slightly, from 3.35 years to 3.52 years, paralleling the market-related duration extension of the benchmark. At the start of the fiscal year, about two-thirds of the portfolio was securities maturing in the one- to five-year range. By fiscal year-end, approximately 62.6 percent of the portfolio had maturities in the six- to 10-year range.

What is your outlook for the next 12 months?

We now think the Fed is very close to ending its tightening cycle. Housing is one of the few sectors that is starting to show weakness as borrowing rates increase. Preliminary indications are that GDP growth for the first calendar quarter of 2006 may come in at close to 5 percent. Responding to stronger growth, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate to 4.75 percent by fiscal year-end. They also continued to signal that "some further policy firming may be needed."

We remain positive on the performance potential of the non-Treasury sectors in general. We believe that the likely end of the Fed's tightening cycle in 2006 should be positive for credit and spreads as borrowing costs stabilize. We believe that the portfolio's higher-than-benchmark positions in CMBS and ABS could benefit from this change. As the year progresses, we feel that mortgage-backed securities may continue to enjoy strong overseas demand as investors look to both maximize income and seek diversification beyond U.S. Treasury securities.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. The risks incurred by mortgage securities include, but are not limited to, reinvestment of prepaid loans at lower rates of return. In addition, the net asset value of mortgage securities may fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates and are not guaranteed.

Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and, as such, the net asset value of the Fund may fall as interest rates rise.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

Please note that securities issued by certain U.S. Government-sponsored entities, including the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) are not funded by Congressional appropriations and the debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by them are neither guaranteed nor insured by the United States Government.

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.

(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)12-8-03 for Class B, Class C and 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.

The Advantus Mortgage Securities Fund merged into the Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Mortgage Securities Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Mortgage Securities Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund
      March 31, 2006


An interview with Frederick Jiang, CFA, CPA,
portfolio manager of the Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund had a strong year, returning 36.51 percent (Class A shares before the impact of sales charges). In comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Asia Free (Excluding Japan) Index (the index that generally reflects the performance of the Asian securities markets) rose 32.66 percent for the fiscal year while the Lipper Pacific Ex-Japan Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 35.20 percent for the fiscal year. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

Over the last 12 months, the Fund showed a strong positive return, reflecting the strength of Asian equity markets and our stock selection strategies. We believe that specific stock selection accounted for most of the Fund's positive performance. During the period, our stock selections in China and Hong Kong and nearby countries such as Taiwan and Singapore served us well, as we recorded strong relative returns in those markets. We believe we also benefited from our stock selections in certain sectors such as financials, information technology, energy and materials.

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

The biggest surprise for Asian equity markets during the fiscal period was that the rising interest rate environment in developed economies did not slow foreign capital into emerging markets, as it often did in previous economic cycles. Liquidity remained abundant in the Asian market throughout the year, so much so that some local markets reported record-high inflows, including South Korea, India and China. These delivered strong positive returns relative to the regional market. Even in markets such as Thailand, Taiwan and Malaysia, where domestic investors were net sellers of stocks, foreign inflows were strong enough to drive up local issues during the fiscal period.

Another surprise was that crude oil prices reached all-time highs in the fiscal year, but only had minimal negative impact on the Asian economy and equity market. Inflation rates remained low in the region despite historically high energy prices. We believe that was primarily because of government subsidies of energy products in some areas and the ongoing deflationary factors of globalization of the world economy.

Over the past 12 months, Asia Pacific markets continued to be heavily influenced by Chinese macroeconomic factors. China managed to grow its economy at an accelerated speed after a relatively soft year in 2004. The reported gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of 9.9 percent was much higher than market expectations. Strong Chinese demand boosted export growth throughout Asia. In July 2005, the Chinese government ended its currency peg to the U.S. dollar and revalued its currency, the renminbi yuan, by 2.1 percent. This marked the beginning of a gradual foreign exchange liberalization process in China. This event triggered a huge inflow into Asian markets. Most Asian currencies have since appreciated against major world currencies, adding to the positive return of Asian equities in U.S. dollar terms.

The political situation in the region remained relatively stable in the fiscal year, with the exception of Thailand, Philippines and Taiwan, where political uncertainties reduced positive equity returns. Indonesia saw the biggest improvement in the region, as political stability and a more balanced budget helped reduce inflation and interest rates. As a result, Indonesia's equity index gained 37.67 percent in U.S. dollar terms, outperforming regional markets by a large margin.

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

We focused on selecting companies in the region that we felt would likely benefit from growing demand in China and India. While many investors were worried about overcapacity and the risk of a "hard landing" in the Chinese economy, we continued to believe in the Chinese consumption story, and therefore added more stocks to the Fund's portfolio when the market was weak in October 2005. However, we reduced positions in India and Indonesia when we believed those equity valuations were stretched in these two markets. This strategy did not work well, as strong money inflows pushed stock prices to record highs. We also focused on selecting undervalued stocks where we could identify stock prices that were much lower than intrinsic values. This strategy served us well, as most of the positive portfolio return was derived from individual stock selection during the fiscal year.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the months ahead?

We emphasized the energy, materials and industrials sectors throughout the year, as we believed they would benefit most from the fast-growing Chinese and Indian economies. We underweighted the telecommunication services and utilities sectors, because we believed those sectors were less exposed to strong final demand growth in the region. We also underweighted information technology and the financial sectors early in the period, but subsequently increased weightings in these sectors toward the end of the fiscal year.

We expect regional growth to be healthy in the new fiscal year, so we are likely to continue to focus on sectors that performed well over the last year. On country allocation, we may reduce future positions in China and India because we believe that these two markets have become expensive. We may raise our weightings in Taiwan and South Korea because of low valuations and strong earnings growth momentum. Overall, we remain generally bullish on the Asian market, a belief that we feel has been well supported by fast economic growth, low valuations, high dividend yields and healthy corporate balance sheets relative to other international markets. In addition, we remain bullish on Asian currencies as we believe they are likely to outperform the U.S. dollar once the Federal Reserve stops raising U.S. interest rates. Therefore, we are likely to maintain an unhedged position on our exposure to Asian currencies.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

International investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political or economic conditions affecting the foreign country, and differences in accounting standards and foreign regulations.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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 Real Estate Securities Fund
      March 31, 2006


The Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund is subadvised by Advantus Capital Management, Inc. The following is an interview with Joseph R. Betlej, CFA, portfolio manager of the Fund.

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund's 33.53 percent return (Class A shares, before the impact of sales charges) underperformed the Fund's benchmark. The Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index (reflecting the performance of issues that generally represent the real estate securities market) rose 40.61 percent for the period.

The Fund's performance for the fiscal year was also lower than the average of its mutual fund peer group. The Lipper Real Estate Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives) increased 36.73 percent for the period. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

Portfolio positioning largely was the primary source behind the underperformance for the past fiscal year, in our view. We were concerned that the U.S. economy might weaken due to a faltering single-family housing market, higher interest rates, a weakening consumer, and effects of the hurricanes, and so introduced a heavy value focus to the portfolio. The economy, however, remained quite resilient, delivering above-consensus gross domestic product (GDP) results.

This strength translated into strong fundamental improvement for real estate companies. During the year, we began to see companies make strides in increasing occupancy and also saw some evidence of rental rate improvement. Momentum built up in high multiple, high growth real estate stocks. Historically, the Fund has tended to underperform in times of rapid price appreciation.

Additionally, our performance was negatively affected by two disappointing stocks. The Mills Corporation announced that they would have to restate earnings, because their over-ambitious development pipeline generated numerous issues for the company. And, Education Realty Trust disappointed with poor relative operating performance and questionable acquisitions.

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

The real estate sector was heavily influenced by the flow of investment capital. As investors recognized the positive attributes of owning real estate - a good source of current income, hard assets and portfolio diversification - money flowed into both the public and private market for real estate. Merger and acquisition activity was at a very high level in the real estate sector, as private market investors felt they could acquire large portfolios of assets in the public market cheaper than they could assemble that portfolio in the direct real estate market. This high level of activity pushed return expectations lower and valuations higher for real estate.

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

As the improving economy began to favor real estate stocks, the Fund increased its exposure to companies that we felt possessed stronger prospects for earnings growth, particularly those companies with the ability to find that growth through rental rates. Property types such as hotels, apartments and industrial companies had the best prospects for improved fundamentals, in our opinion, and were emphasized. Historically, apartments have performed better than other types of real estate in a rising interest rate environment because demand for rentals increases as mortgage costs rise, allowing landlords more latitude to raise rents.

Additionally, we emphasized what we saw as supply-constrained markets, such as the New York metropolitan area, Washington, D.C., and Southern California. Demand created by solid economic growth and highly occupied real estate markets translated into improved rental rate conditions. Supply is constrained in these markets because of high building costs, limited space and regulatory obstacles.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the next 12 months?

With the improvement in the overall real estate markets and the rise in interest rates, the Fund reduced its exposure over the year to interest rate-sensitive stocks - commercial mortgage real estate investment trusts, net lease companies and homebuilders. We believe that the ability to find investments that provide adequate return over a company's cost of capital is becoming increasingly difficult for these companies, especially those using higher levels of leverage. Dividends became relatively less valuable, versus rental growth, in the more optimistic environment.

The Fund continues to focus on what we believe are growth-oriented companies with value characteristics. We remain concerned about the positive market momentum that appears to be stretching valuations beyond historic precedents. We believe that core operating performance at each firm likely will be a key determinant in stock performance in the coming year.

After several strong years of property price appreciation, we feel that the level of returns generated by real estate stocks is unsustainable. We feel that real estate, at its essence, is a slower, steady growth business. We feel that much of the price appreciation over the last five years has been due to recognition of the attributes inherent in this investment. The easy money, however, has been made, in our opinion. We anticipate that returns may be much more in line with earnings growth in the months ahead. Short-term volatility could also be present, in our opinion, due to recent strong moves in asset pricing of this group.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

Risks associated with real estate securities include rental income fluctuation, depreciation, property tax value changes and regional economic changes. Real estate securities and property are subject to interest rate risk and, as such, the net asset value of the Fund may fall as interest rates rise.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

Please note that the performance of the Fund's other share classes will be greater or less than the performance shown above for Class A 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 sales load at the time of the investment and by the ongoing expenses of the Fund and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

(2)Because the Fund commenced operations on a date other than at the end of a month, and partial month calculations of the performance of the indexes (including income) are not available, investment in the indexes was effected as of February 28, 1999.

(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 and Class R shares are not subject to sales charges.

Class R 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.

The Advantus Real Estate Securities Fund merged into the Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Real Estate Securities Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Small Cap Value Fund
      March 31, 2006


The Ivy Small Cap Value Fund is subadvised by BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. The following is an interview with portfolio manager Wayne J. Archambo, CFA.

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund showed a positive return, but underperformed its benchmark index for the period. The Fund's Class A shares increased 16.44 percent during the fiscal year (before the impact of sales charges). This compares with the Russell 2000 Value Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the small companies value sector of the stock market), which increased 23.72 percent during the period, and the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Universe Average (reflecting the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 19.94 percent during the period. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

We believe that stock selection in industrials, health care and telecommunication services, along with allocation within the industrials sector, were the primary drivers of value-added performance relative to the benchmark. Unfortunately, these gains were overshadowed by the negative impact of stock selection in the information technology, consumer discretionary and financials sectors. The Fund's overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector also contributed to relative underperformance, in our opinion.

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

A majority of the Fund's underperformance during the last fiscal year was the result of underperformance in the first calendar quarter of 2006. During this time, lower quality, higher beta names performed quite well. Although absolute returns were solid, the portfolio underperformed on a relative basis, as our focus on investing in what we feel are attractively valued companies with sound business fundamentals was not rewarded in this market environment.

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

Our approach is generally driven by in-depth research and analysis. Performance during the period, we believe, was assisted by bottom-up stock selection, backed by our team of small- to mid-cap value analysts who collectively have specific sector/industry coverage responsibilities. We believe this approach enables each analyst to gain a unique understanding of the companies within their areas of expertise, including corporate management teams and the various industry dynamics that impact company earnings and stock prices. During the period, however, some unusual market factors, as those cited above, did negatively influence ultimate fund returns.

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

Sector weightings relative to the benchmark are primarily a function of where we are finding attractive investment opportunities. During the last fiscal year, the most notable relative sector weightings included an overweight position in consumer discretionary - particularly among hotels, restaurants, gaming-related names and specialty retailers - and an underweight position in financials, primarily driven by a lack of exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).

Considering that 2005 was the most active year in global merger and acquisition volume since 2000, in looking ahead we believe the portfolio could potentially continue to benefit from increased merger and acquisition activity as we believe that large corporations and an increasing number of private equity and hedge funds likely will put their significant cash balances to work. We continue to believe our focus on investing in what we see as attractively valued companies with solid fundamentals and catalysts for growth results in a portfolio that includes a number of attractive merger and acquisition candidates, and we feel that this may contribute to returns over time.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment.

Investing in small-cap stocks may carry more risk than investing in stocks of larger, more well-established companies.

These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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)1-31-97 for Class A shares and 12-8-03 for Class B, Class C and 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.

The Advantus Venture Fund merged into the Ivy Small Cap Value Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Venture Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Small Cap Value Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Small Cap Value Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

Manager's Discussion of Ivy Value Fund
      March 31, 2006


An interview with Matthew T. Norris, CFA,
portfolio manager of the Ivy Value Fund

The following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

How did the Fund perform during the last fiscal year?

The Fund experienced positive, although below-average, performance for the fiscal year. The Class A shares of the Fund increased 7.75 percent during the period (before the impact of sales charges), compared with the Russell 1000 Value Index (reflecting the performance of securities that generally represent the value sector of the stock market), which increased 13.29 percent during the period, and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Universe Average (generally reflecting the performance of the universe of funds with similar investment objectives), which increased 11.35 percent for the period. Please note that Fund returns and peer group returns include applicable fees and expenses, whereas unmanaged indexes do not include any fees.

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

We believe that the Fund trailed the benchmark for three reasons, which account for a majority of the underperformance. The portfolio has no exposure to real estate, an area that was one of the best performing sectors last year, while deficient stock picking in the technology and mortgage finance sectors accounted for the other two factors for underperformance. Conversely, an area of strength for the portfolio was health care, where we avoided the major pharmaceuticals while concentrating money in dialysis centers and HMOs.

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

Rising interest rates kept a lid on banking stocks, which benefited the portfolio. However, the continued economic expansion led to a shift away from value and into growth stocks toward the end of the year. Smaller stocks generally outperformed larger stocks, which was in direct contrast to the predictions of many market pundits. Overall, many stocks showed volatility throughout the year, as the market debated these and other conflicting economic forces. For example, the fear of rising rates caused financial stocks to underperform the S&P 500 Index from January through the end of September 2005 before they began outperforming the index toward year's end.

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

The portfolio tends not to place large overweights on individual sectors, preferring not to accept the risk and increased volatility that typically accompany such an approach. Rather, we attempt to look for holdings that we believe are synonymous with generating high cash flow, and then seek to return that money to shareholders. Recent areas of emphasis include holdings we consider more stable and less cyclically oriented.

What industries or sectors did you emphasize during the fiscal year, and what is your outlook for the next 12 months?

The portfolio did not have a substantial overweight or underweight in any particular sector during the fiscal year. Going forward, we intend to continue with the process that has served us well in the past. Specifically, we have discovered additional names of interest in the utility sector, and we anticipate pursuing investments in stocks that we feel can benefit from corporate spending, namely those concentrated in the industrial and technology sectors. Within financials, we currently find greater value in insurance companies than we do in the banking sector. While energy remains an area with a slight overemphasis, we feel that last year's price action likely has removed much of the potential of these investments.

Meanwhile, there are no changes in the management philosophy of the portfolio, and it remains fully invested with very little cash. We continue to search diligently, one company at a time, for names that we think offer good value investment opportunities, believing this is the best way to achieve consistent returns over a full market cycle.

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.

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus.

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)12-8-03 for Class B, Class C and 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.

The Advantus Cornerstone Fund merged into the Ivy Value Fund on December 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus Cornerstone Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy Value Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy Value Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.

NOTE 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Ivy Funds (formerly Ivy Fund) (the Trust) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 21, 1983 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust issues fifteen series of capital shares; each series represents ownership of a separate mutual fund (Fund). 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 Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A. Security valuation - Each stock and convertible bond is valued at the latest sale price thereof on each business day of the fiscal period as reported by the principal securities exchange on which the issue is traded or, if no sale is reported for a stock, the average of the latest bid and asked prices. Bonds, other than convertible bonds, are valued using a pricing system provided by a pricing service or dealer in bonds. Convertible bonds are valued using this pricing system only on days when there is no sale reported. Stocks which are traded over-the-counter are priced using the Nasdaq Stock Market, which provides information on bid and asked prices quoted by major dealers in such stocks. Restricted securities and securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to be reliable because of significant events or circumstances identified between the closing of their principal markets and the closing of the New York Stock Exchange are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees. Management's Valuation Committee makes fair value determinations for the Trust, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, purchased with less than 60 days to maturity, 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 Trust combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in market value when computing net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
D. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts - A forward foreign currency exchange contract (Forward Contract) is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a fixed price. Forward Contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable translation rates and the resulting unrealized gains or losses are reflected in the Trust's financial statements. Gains or losses are realized by the Trust at the time the Forward Contract is extinguished. Contracts may be extinguished either by entry into a closing transaction or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise from the possibility that the other party will not complete the obligations of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the United States dollar. The Trust uses Forward Contracts to attempt to reduce the overall risk of its investments.
E. Federal income taxes - It is the Trust's policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Trust intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of excise tax. Accordingly, provision has not been made for Federal income taxes. See Note 4 - Federal Income Tax Matters.
F. Dividends and distributions - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the business day following record date. Net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as deferral of wash sales and post-October losses, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and expiring capital loss carryovers. At March 31, 2006, the following amounts were reclassified:

Undistributed
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)

Undistributed

Net investment income (loss) and net assets were not affected by this change.
G. Repurchase agreements - Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the value of the resold securities which, during the entire period of the agreement, remains at least equal to the value of the loan, including accrued interest thereon. The collateral for the repurchase agreement is held by the Trust's custodian bank.

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

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 a Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current 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 a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the call option was sold) and the liability related to such option is extinguished. When a 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 Trust may engage in buying and selling futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust uses futures to attempt to reduce the overall risk of its investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Ivy Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Balanced Fund, Bond Fund, Cash Reserves Fund, Cundill Global Value Fund, Dividend Income Fund, European Opportunities Fund, Global Natural Resources Fund, International Fund, International Balanced Fund, International Value Fund, Mortgage Securities Fund, Pacific Opportunities Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Value Fund (collectively the "Funds") comprising Ivy Funds, as of March 31, 2006, 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 (except as noted below). These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Real Estate Securities Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Value Fund for each of the periods ended July 31, 2003 and prior were audited by other auditors whose report, dated September 5, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. The financial highlights of the Balanced Fund, Bond Fund, International Balanced Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund for each of the periods ended September 30, 2003 and prior were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 7, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. The financial highlights of the Cash Reserves Fund, Cundill Global Value Fund, European Opportunities Fund, Global Natural Resources Fund, International Fund, International Value Fund and Pacific Opportunities Fund for the period ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated February 8, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. 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, 2006, 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 of Ivy Funds, as of March 31, 2006, 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 the financial highlights for the periods presented (except as noted above in reference to the reports of other auditors), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CORPORATION DEDUCTIONS - Under Federal tax law, the amounts reportable as Qualifying Dividends are eligible for the dividends received deduction in the year received as provided by Section 243 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Internal Revenue Code regulations permit each qualifying Fund to elect to pass through a foreign tax credit to shareholders with respect to foreign taxes paid by the Fund.

The Board of Trustees of Ivy Funds

The Waddell & Reed Fund Complex (Fund Complex) is comprised of the Ivy Family of Funds and the Advisors Fund Complex. The Ivy Family of Funds is comprised of the funds in Ivy Funds (15 portfolios) and Ivy Funds, Inc. (12 portfolios). The Advisors Fund Complex is comprised of each of the funds in the Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds (22 portfolios), Waddell & Reed InvestEd Portfolios, Inc. (three portfolios) and W&R Target Funds, Inc. (21 portfolios).

Each of the individuals listed below serves as a trustee or director for each of the funds within the Ivy Family of Funds. Eleanor B. Schwartz, Joseph Harroz, Jr. and Henry J. Herrmann also serve as directors of each of the funds in the Advisors Fund Complex. Each Trustee serves an indefinite term, until he or she dies, resigns, is removed or becomes disqualified.

A Trustee is considered by Ivy Funds and its counsel to be an "interested person" of the Funds or of their investment manager by virtue of his or her employment by Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (WDR) or its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The other Trustees (more than a majority of the total number) are independent; that is, they are not employees or officers of, and have no financial interest in, WDR or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Ivy Funds Distributor, Inc. (IFDI), Ivy Investment Management Company (IICO) (formerly, Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company), and Waddell & Reed Services Company (WRSCO).
