President's Letter
      September 30, 2007

Dear Shareholder:

It's been a rewarding but volatile six months for equity investors. Stock markets around the globe generally provided attractive returns, with energy stocks outpacing all other sectors. Since the spring it has appeared to us that large company domestic growth stocks have generally come back in favor, boosted by low valuations and solid overseas growth for U.S.-based multinational companies. Also, quality now seems to be a more important equity attribute than we have seen in several years.

For the bond market, it's also been a bumpy road. Corporate and mortgage bond prices faced greater volatility as a subprime lending crisis of global dimensions unfolded. The U.S. dollar weakened against most foreign currencies, making dollar-denominated bonds less attractive. High yield investors, meanwhile, demanded greater income to help offset concern about bond defaults and the potential for a U.S. recession. After months of expressing anxiety about lingering consumer inflation, the Federal Reserve changed policy in September and reduced its short-term interest rate target by 50 basis points (0.50 percent) to 4.75 percent. More cuts may follow.

Enclosed is our report on your Ivy Fund's operations for the six months ended September 30, 2007. The S&P 500 Index advanced 8.44 percent over the period while the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index rose 2.31 percent.


U.S. growth slows

Dragged down by the worst housing market in a generation, the U.S. economy's four-year-old expansion is slowing. However, growth still appears robust for most of Asia. North America was fortunate to have a relatively mild hurricane season, and this may have been a factor in helping to keep a lid on gasoline prices. This year the biggest financial storm was found not in nature, but in the commercial paper and mortgage markets. Liquidity dried up for both business and consumer borrowers with less than perfect credit. Consequently, the financial and consumer discretionary sectors of the S&P 500 have been hard hit over the past six months, with each falling while most other sectors rose.

The economic news is mixed, as you can see in the Economic Snapshot chart below. Overall inflation is the same as it was six months ago. Unemployment is slightly higher than six months ago but is still relatively low. However, the cost of financing a home is slightly higher. Overall GDP growth is solid, while oil prices are substantially higher.

The U.S. Consumer Price Index is the government's measure of the change in the retail cost of goods and services. Gross domestic product measures year-over-year changes in the output of goods and services. Mortgage rates shown reflect the average rate on a conventional loan with a 60-day lender commitment. Oil prices reflect the market price of West Texas intermediate grade crude.

Stock valuations for companies in the S&P 500 appear reasonable to us. As we look forward, even though past performance does not guarantee future results, presidential election years typically have been positive for investors. However, we recommend a prudent level of caution in 2008, as we believe that the range of possibilities for investors is as wide as the current field of presidential candidates. As always, we believe that maintaining a well-rounded portfolio is an essential element for securing your long-term financial future. In both politics and investing, it may be wise to remember that nothing - good or bad - can ever be assured.



Our commitment

At the Ivy Funds, we consistently focus on offering you strategies that emphasize participation in positive markets, as well as a very strong effort to manage risk. We will strive to earn your continued confidence for many years to come.

Respectfully,

Henry J. Herrmann, CFA
President

The opinions expressed in this letter are those of the President of Ivy Funds, Inc., 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. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

*Fund expenses for each share class are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 days in the six-month period ended September 30, 2007, and divided by 365.

**Actual inception date of Class E and Class I shares for each Fund is 4-2-07 (the date on which shares were first acquired by shareholders). The calculations are based on 181 days in the period ended September 30, 2007

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

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

NOTE 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Ivy Funds, Inc. (the Corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Corporation issues 12 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 Corporation in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A. Security valuation - Each stock and convertible bond is valued at the latest sale price thereof on each business day of the fiscal period as reported by the principal securities exchange on which the issue is traded or, if no sale is reported for a stock, the average of the latest bid and asked prices. Bonds, other than convertible bonds, are valued using a pricing system provided by a pricing service or dealer in bonds. Convertible bonds are valued using this pricing system only on days when there is no sale reported. Stocks which are traded over-the-counter are priced using the Nasdaq Stock Market, which provides information on bid and asked prices quoted by major dealers in such stocks. Gold bullion is valued at the last settlement price for current delivery as calculated by the Commodity Exchange, Inc. as of the close of that exchange. 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 Corporation's Board of Directors. Management's valuation committee makes fair value determinations for the Corporation, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors. 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 certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Corporation is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. See Note 3 - Investment Securities Transactions.

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

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

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

F. Dividends and distributions - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the business day following the applicable record date. Net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as deferral of wash sales and post-October losses, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and expiring capital loss carryovers. At September 30, 2007, $6,932 was reclassified for Mid Cap Growth Fund between accumulated undistributed net investment loss and additional paid-in capital. Net investment income, accumulated realized capital loss on investment transactions, 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 custodian bank.

H. New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 16, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on each Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures. In September 2006, FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS 157 defines  fair value for purposes of financial statement presentation, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements that are relevant to mutual funds. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Corporation will adopt SFAS 157 during 2008 and its potential impact, if any, on each Fund's financial statements is currently being assessed by management.

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.

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

Each Fund also pays monthly a fee at the annual rate of 0.01% or one basis point for the first $1 billion of net assets with no fee charged for net assets in excess of $1 billion. This fee may be voluntarily waived until a Fund's net assets are at least $10 million.

Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement between the Corporation and WRSCO, with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class E shares, for each shareholder account that was in existence at any time during the prior month: Ivy Asset Strategy Fund pays a monthly fee of $1.5792; Ivy High Income Fund, Ivy Limited-Term Bond Fund and Ivy Municipal Bond Fund each pay a monthly fee of $1.6958; and Ivy Capital Appreciation Fund, Ivy Core Equity Fund, Ivy Energy Fund, Ivy Large Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Mid Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Science and Technology Fund and Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund each pay a monthly fee of $1.5042. Ivy Money Market Fund pays a monthly fee of $1.75 for each shareholder account that was in existence at any time during the prior month plus, for Class A shareholder accounts, $0.75 for each shareholder check processed in the prior month. Ivy Limited-Term Bond Fund Class A, which also has check writing privileges, pays $0.75 for each shareholder check processed in the prior month. For Class R shares, each Fund pays a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.20 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. For Class I and Class Y shares, each Fund pays a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.15 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. Effective September 1, 2006, the Shareholder Servicing Agreement with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class E shares was revised so that each Fund pays WRSCO an annual fee (payable monthly) for each account of the Fund that is non-networked and is as shown above; however, WRSCO has agreed to reduce those fees if the number of total shareholders accounts within the Complex (Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds, Waddell & Reed InvestEd Portfolios, Inc., Ivy Funds and Ivy Funds, Inc.) reaches certain levels. For certain networked accounts (that is, those accounts whose Fund shares are purchased through certain financial intermediaries), WRSCO has agreed to reduce its per account fees charged to the Funds to $0.50 per month per shareholder account. Additional fees may be paid by the Funds to those intermediaries. Each Fund also reimburses WRSCO for certain out-of-pocket costs for all classes.

As principal underwriter for the Corporation's shares, Ivy Funds Distributor, Inc. (IFDI) receives sales commissions (which are not an expense of the Corporation) for Class A and Class E shares. A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) may be assessed against a shareholder's redemption amount of Class B, Class C or certain Class A and Class E shares and is paid to IFDI. During the six-month period ended September 30, 2007, IFDI received the following amounts in sales commissions and CDSC:

Under a Distribution and Service Plan for Class A shares adopted by the Corporation pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, each Fund may pay a distribution and/or service fee to IFDI in an amount not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average annual net assets. The fee is to be paid to compensate IFDI for amounts it expends in connection with the distribution of the Class A shares and/or provision of personal services to Fund shareholders and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.Under the Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Corporation for Class B shares and Class C shares, respectively, each Fund may pay IFDI a service fee not to exceed 0.25% and a distribution fee not to exceed 0.75% of a Fund's average annual net assets attributable to that class to compensate IFDI for its services in connection with the distribution of shares of that class and/or provision of personal services to Class B or Class C shareholders and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts of that class. Under the Class E Plan, each Fund pays IFDI a fee not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average annual net assets attributable to Class E shares, paid daily to compensate IFDI for its costs and expenses in connection with, either directly or through others, the distribution of the Class E shares, the provision of personal services to Class E shareholders and/or maintenance of Class E shareholder accounts. Under the Class Y Plan, each Fund may pay IFDI a fee of up to 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class Y shares to compensate IFDI for, either directly or through third parties, distributing the Class Y shares of that Fund, providing personal services to Class Y shareholders and/or maintaining Class Y shareholder accounts. Under the Class R Plan, each Fund may pay IFDI a fee of up to 0.50%, on an annual basis, of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class R shares to compensate IFDI for, either directly or through third parties, distributing the Class R shares of that Fund, providing personal services to Class R shareholders and/or maintaining Class R shareholder accounts.

IFDI and WRSCO have voluntarily agreed to waive sufficient expenses to Class A of Ivy Money Market Fund in order to maintain the yield at the level of that of Waddell & Reed Advisors Cash Management, Inc. Class A. As of September 30, 2007, no expenses were waived for Ivy Money Market Fund Class A.

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 a 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 a Fund has realized a gain or loss. For each Fund, when a written put is exercised, the cost basis of the securities purchased by a Fund is reduced by the amount of the premium received.

NOTE 7 - Swaps

Each Fund may invest in swap agreements, which are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Each Fund may enter into credit default, total return, variance and other swap agreements to: 1) preserve a return or a spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio; 2) to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date; or 3) to attempt to enhance yield.

Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security in the event of a defined credit event, such as payment default or bankruptcy. Under a credit default swap one party acts as a guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying security at par if the defined credit event occurs. Each Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which either it or its counterparty act as the guarantor.

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

Variance swaps involve a contract in which two parties agree to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance of a specified underlying security or index during a certain time period. On the trade date, the two parties agree on the strike price of the contract (the reference level against which cash flows are exchanged), as well as the number of units in the transaction and the length of the contract. Like an option contract, the value of a variance swap is influenced by both realized and implied volatility, as well as the passage of time. Each Fund may enter into variance swaps to manage volatility risk.

The creditworthiness of firms with which a Fund enters into a swap agreement is monitored by IICO. If a firm's creditworthiness declines, the value of the agreement would likely decline, potentially resulting in losses. If a default occurs by the counterparty to such a transaction, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on valuations provided by a pricing vendor of a broker-dealer. Changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the custodian or counterparty. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These upfront payments, as well as any periodic payments, are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Gains or losses may be realized upon termination of the swap agreement.

Entering into swap agreements involves certain risks. Among these are possible failure of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations, possible lack of liquidity, and unfavorable changes in interest rates or underlying investments.

NOTE 8 - Futures

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




Renewal of Investment Management Agreement
for Ivy Funds, Inc.

At a Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Ivy Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") held on August 28 and 29, 2007, the Directors, including all of the Directors who are not "interested persons" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, unanimously approved the continuance of the existing Investment Management Agreement between Ivy Investment Management Company ("IICO") and the Corporation (with respect to Ivy Asset Strategy Fund, Ivy Capital Appreciation Fund, Ivy Core Equity Fund, Ivy Energy Fund, Ivy High Income Fund, Ivy Large Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Limited-Term Bond Fund, Ivy Mid Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Money Market Fund, Ivy Municipal Bond Fund, Ivy Science and Technology Fund and Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund).

The Board's Independent Directors were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel, and met with such counsel separately from representatives of IICO. Independent legal counsel provided the Board with a memorandum that discussed the various factors that the Board should consider as part of its review of the various agreements, including, among other things, the nature and the quality of the services provided by IICO, profitability (including any fall-out benefits) from the relationships with the Funds, economies of scale, the role played by the Independent Directors, and information on comparative fees and expenses. The Board also considered the written responses and supplementary materials produced by IICO in response to a 15(c) due diligence request list submitted by the Independent Directors' counsel prior to the meeting. Included in those responses, which had been provided to the Board prior to the meeting, was a Fund-by-Fund profitability analysis prepared by IICO. The Board also received extensive materials on performance, expenses and comparable fund information from Lipper, Inc., an independent mutual fund rating service. Finally, the Independent Directors received and reviewed a considerable amount of information that their independent fee consultant had provided to them. The Independent Directors discussed this material extensively among themselves, with their independent legal counsel and independent fee consultant, and with the other Board members, after which the Board considered various factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's determination to approve the agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the fact that they were provided with performance and expense information for each of the Funds during the year in regularly scheduled Board meetings, during which they met with the Funds' portfolio managers and other investment personnel. In that regard, they discussed the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund by IICO, taking into account the investment objective and strategy of the Fund and the knowledge the Board gained from those regular meetings, including from the materials provided in connection with those meetings. In addition, the Board reviewed the resources and key personnel of IICO. The Board also considered other services provided to the Funds by IICO, such as managing the quality of execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, monitoring adherence to the Funds' investment restrictions, producing reports, providing support services for the Board and Board committees, communicating with shareholders and overseeing the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided by IICO were appropriate, that the quality of those services had been consistent with quality norms in the industry and that the Funds were likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services.

Benefits from the Relationship with the Funds

The Board next discussed whether IICO derives any other direct or indirect benefit from serving the Funds. The Board considered benefits that accrue to IICO from its respective relationship with a Fund, including the fact that a variety of services are provided by affiliates of IICO, including distribution, shareholder servicing and transfer agency services. After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that IICO, nor any of its affiliates, receive any additional direct or indirect benefits that would preclude the Board from approving the continuation of the investment advisory contract with IICO.

Economies of Scale

The Board discussed whether economies of scale are being realized by the Funds and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds' shareholders. In that context, the Board discussed the current level of the Funds' advisory fee breakpoints and also considered the current and anticipated asset levels of the Funds and the potential for growth in each Fund. With respect to the Asset Strategy Fund, the Board requested that management examine the continuing appropriateness of that Fund's breakpoint schedule. The Board also noted that as the assets of the Funds continue to increase, the Funds' expense ratios generally continue to fall. The Board concluded that the current asset size of the Funds and other relevant factors did not warrant further reevaluation or restructuring of the fee breakpoints for the Funds at this time.

Performance of the Funds and Costs of Services Provided

The Board considered, on a Fund by Fund basis, the performance of each Fund and the costs of the services provided. The Board focused particularly on the Ivy High Income Fund, Ivy Municipal Bond Fund and Ivy Limited Term Bond Fund.

Specifically, the Board examined the investment performance of each Fund, including quintile ranking for short- and long-term time periods and each Fund's performance against its peers. The Board also examined the performance of each Fund against its respective Lipper index for the same periods. After extensively reviewing all of the performance information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds' performance in each asset class was acceptable. Although the performance of some of the focus Funds lagged that of their peers or respective Lipper index, the Board recognized that IICO had taken, or was taking, the steps to address that underperformance, including changes in portfolio managers, and determined to continue to monitor closely the performance of those Funds.

The Board also considered the expenses of each Fund, the expense ratio of each Fund, and the expense limitation arrangements entered into (and with respect to the Ivy Limited Term Bond Fund, the expense limitation agreement proposed to be entered into) by IICO in light of the services provided by IICO. The Board also compared each Fund's expenses, including advisory, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, with the expenses and advisory fees of other investment advisers managing similarly situated funds, as well as the advisory fees that IICO (or an affiliate) charges for providing advisory services to separately managed accounts in the same asset class for certain Funds. In that regard, the Board noted that IICO performs significant additional services for those Funds. The Board also took into account the information on IICO's profitability in managing the Funds, including the methodology used to calculate profitability. The Board finally considered the amount of assets in each Fund, each Fund's average account size and how those factors affect the Funds' expense ratios. After completing this examination, the Independent Directors concluded that the Fund's expenses are appropriate at the current time.

The Board of Directors/Trustees for each of the mutual funds has appointed an independent fee consultant. Posted below is a summary of the written fee evaluation of such consultant for the most recent year.

During August of 2007, and as part of their regularly scheduled meetings, the Boards of Trustees of Ivy Funds and the Board of Directors of Ivy Funds, Inc. (collectively, the "Ivy Funds" and any separate series thereof an "Ivy Fund") reviewed significant information in connection with considering the continuation of existing investment management agreements currently in effect between Ivy Investment Management Company ("IICO") and the Ivy Funds. Pursuant to the Assurance of Discontinuance between Waddell & Reed, Inc., Waddell & Reed Services Company ("WRSCO"), and Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company (collectively, "Waddell") and the Office of the New York Attorney General dated July 10, 2006 ("Assurance of Discontinuance"), the Trustees/Directors of the Ivy Funds engaged an independent fee consultant to assist them in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees charged by IICO, an affiliate of Waddell, to the Ivy Funds. The independent fee consultant's review addressed the following fee-related factors:

1. The nature and quality of IICO's services to the Ivy Funds, including performance

2. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged by other mutual fund companies for like services

3. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of IICO for like services

4. Costs to IICO and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit

5. Profit margins of IICO and its affiliates from supplying such services

6. Possible economies of scale as a fund grows larger

The following summarizes the findings of the independent fee consultant retained by the Trustees/Directors. 1

1 The independent fee consultant's evaluation was based on information provided by IICO, Lipper, Inc., other information providers and other independent analyses. The term "management fees" refers to the actual annual advisory and administrative fees, net of any fee waivers, paid by an Ivy Fund, as a percentage of such fund's average net assets. The term "total expenses" refers to the total annual expenses, net of any fee waivers, paid by an Ivy Fund, as a percentage of such fund's average net assets. Where these terms are used in reference to groups of Ivy Funds, numbers expressed are on an asset-weighted basis. Fee and performance data used in screening methodologies are usually for the period ending February 28, 2007. In other areas, data is from various periods ending between December 31, 2006 and July 31, 2007.

Summary Findings

The independent fee consultant believes that IICO delivers strong levels of performance and service to the Ivy Funds in relation to IICO management fees and relative to investment advisers of comparable mutual funds. For the 36 months ended April 30, 2007, when compared to their respective peer groups established by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper") approximately: (a) 21% of the Ivy Funds were in the top 10 percentiles; (b) 33% of the Ivy Funds were in the top quartile of performance; and (c) 62% of the Ivy Funds were in the top two quartiles. The independent fee consultant noted that the Ivy Funds' performance appears to be grounded in a number of institutional competitive advantages at IICO, including stock selection ability, ability to attract top talent, strategic vision, performance-focused culture, ability to manage smaller AUM funds, ability to serve small account sizes and an effective trading infrastructure.

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2007, the total expenses of the Ivy Funds on average were 7% above the mean total expenses of their respective Lipper Expense Group peers and 1% below the mean total expenses for their Lipper Expense Universes. The management fees for the Ivy Funds on average were 9% above the mean management fees for their Lipper Expense Groups and 10% above the means for their Lipper Expense Universes. Ivy Funds' small average account size and small fund AUM introduces certain biases in the Lipper analyses that can work against Ivy Funds in Lipper expense comparisons. As a result, the Lipper findings can be considered conservative. Within the larger Lipper averages, the management fees and total expenses of individual Ivy Funds and share classes are reasonable relative to their performance.

The independent fee consultant believes that the management fees IICO charges to the Ivy Funds also are reasonable in relation to the management fees it charges to its other institutional accounts. These institutional accounts have different service and infrastructure needs. Moreover, based on industry data, the average spread between management fees charged to the Ivy Funds and those charged to institutional accounts is below the average fee spreads observed at other investment advisers.

The independent fee consultant found that the level of profit earned by IICO from managing the Ivy Funds does not appear to be unreasonable. Waddell's overall profitability from managing the Ivy Funds and its other operations is below the mean profitability of other publicly traded peers, but appears adequate to enable IICO to continue to provide quality support to the Ivy Funds and their shareholders.

Analyses was undertaken by the independent fee consultant to measure economies of scale in the industry in a manner that would give an overall "net" view of any economies or diseconomies of scale across all cost elements. This analysis, however, was unable to quantitatively assess or confirm overall economies of scale in the IICO complex. A separate economy of pricing analysis, also undertaken by the independent fee consultant, did show that Ivy Funds incur lower fees and expenses with increasing fund AUM and with increasing average account size which the independent fee consultant believes should benefit Ivy Fund investors as the Ivy Funds mature.

Conclusions

The independent fee consultant concluded that the services provided by IICO and its affiliates and expenses incurred by the Ivy Funds over the year ending August 31, 2007 are reasonable and provide adequate justification for renewal of the Ivy Funds' existing advisory agreements.
