SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

Dear Shareholder,

The year since our last report to you continued the volatility trend that seems to have become the norm. Again this year, the key culprits were politics, geopolitical concerns and confusing policy communication by central bankers.

Markets became increasingly volatile over the summer as bond yields rose and stocks fell amid speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) was preparing to taper its quantitative easing program. Yields reversed course and stocks moved higher when the Fed did nothing in September. The Fed’s decision provided only a brief respite before concerns began to swell around Congress’ failure to reach a budget agreement. Lack of a budget prompted fears that there would be a similar impasse on the October debate about increasing the debt ceiling, which could lead to a downgrade of U.S. debt or even default.

At the end of September, the benchmark 10-year Treasury was yielding 2.64%, compared with 1.65% a year earlier and 1.78% at the start of the calendar year. Amid the turmoil, the S&P 500 Index reached a new record high in late September of 1,725.52 before moving slightly lower by the end of the fiscal year.

Despite these issues, and the occasional market swings they can cause, the U.S. economy continued its steady growth, although at a slow pace. We’ve seen improvement in several key indicators, including gross domestic product, jobs growth, retail sales and the housing market. Internationally, a spike in China’s overnight interbank lending rates and violent unrest in Syria, Turkey, Brazil and Egypt unsettled investors during the year and hurt currencies, fixed-income and equity markets in developing countries broadly.

All government statistics shown are subject to periodic revision. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the stocks of 500 primarily large-cap U.S. companies. MSCI EAFE Index is an unmanaged index comprised of securities that represent the securities markets in Europe, Australasia and the Far East. Annualized yield to maturity is the rate of return anticipated on a bond if it is held until the maturity date. It is not possible to invest directly in any of these indexes. Mortgage rates are from BankRate and reflect the overnight national average rate on a conventional 30-year fixed loan. Oil prices reflect the market price of West Texas intermediate grade crude.

As always, we thank you for your continued trust and partnership.

Respectfully,

ILLUSTRATION OF FUND EXPENSES

Ivy Funds

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees, and other Fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013.

Actual Expenses

 

 

The first section in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each share class. You may use the information in this section, 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 section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There may be additional fees charged to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. These fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), IRA Rollovers, Roth IRAs, Conversion Roth IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Simple IRAs, Tax-Sheltered Accounts (TSAs), Keogh Plans, Owner Only 401(k) (Exclusive K) Plans and Final Pay Plans. As of the close of the six months covered by the table, a customer is charged an annual fee of $18 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 following table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

 

The second section in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for each share class based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of five percent 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 five percent hypothetical example with the five percent hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses paid may be impacted by expense reduction arrangements. If those arrangements had not been in place, expenses paid would have been higher. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements for further information.

* 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, 2013, and divided by 365.

 

** Class closed to investment.

 

*** Period from April 1, 2013 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2013.

 

(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 last column of this section.

 

(2) This section uses a hypothetical five percent 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, or exchange fees.

(1) At September 30, 2013, Ivy Asset Strategy Fund held (minority stake) investments in private-placement common stock and corporate debt securities. Because of the unique nature of these securities, the Valuation Committee, as described on page 125, determined the enterprise value after considering the results of multiple valuation methodologies, including both a comparison to market comparable companies and a discounted cash flow model. The total enterprise value was then allocated to the common stock and corporate debt securities held by the Fund.

Under the market comparable companies’ model, the most significant input was the price-earnings ratio, for which a range of 19 to 23 was considered to be the range that market participants would take into account when pricing the issuer.

Using a discounted cash flows model, the most significant inputs (and related range of assumptions anticipated to be used by market participants) were the long-term growth rate (2.5%), and the weighted average cost of capital (8.4%).

The Valuation Committee also applied an illiquidity discount of 10% for purposes of this valuation.

Significant increase in price-earnings ratio or long-term growth rate inputs could result in a higher fair value measurement. However, significant increase in weighted average cost of capital of illiquidity discount inputs could result in a lower fair value measurement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Ivy Funds

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

1.   ORGANIZATION

Ivy Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Ivy Asset Strategy Fund, Ivy Asset Strategy New Opportunities Fund, Ivy Balanced Fund, Ivy Energy Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy Global Real Estate Fund, Ivy Global Risk-Managed Real Estate Fund, Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund and Ivy Science and Technology Fund (each, a “Fund”) are nine series of the Trust and are the only series of the Trust included in these financial statements. The investment objective(s), policies and risk factors of each Fund are described more fully in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Each Fund’s investment manager is Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO” or the “Manager”).

Each Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class Y, and Class R shares. Certain Funds may also offer Class E shares. Class A and Class E shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class I, Class R and Class Y shares are sold without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Net investment income, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer agent and shareholder servicing fees, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C, E, R and Y have a distribution and service plan. Class I shares are not included in the plan. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 96 months after the date of purchase.

 

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. 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 Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. All or a portion of the distributions received from a real estate investment trust or publicly traded partnership may be designated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain.

Foreign Currency Translation. Each Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars daily, using foreign exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). 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. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Foreign exchange rates are valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

It is the policy of each Fund 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, each Fund intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of excise tax. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes. Management of the Trust periodically reviews all tax positions to assess that it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authority based on the technical merits of each position. As of and for the period ended September 30, 2013, management believes that no liability for unrecognized tax positions is required. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state authorities for returns filed for tax years after 2008.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. 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 (“U.S. GAAP”). If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax return of capital.

Segregation and Collateralization. In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, securities with extended settlement periods and swaps), the Fund will segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount that is required to be physically segregated for the benefit of the counterparty. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit cash or securities as collateral for certain investments. Certain countries require that cash reserves be held while investing in companies incorporated in that country. These cash reserves and cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Restricted cash.” Securities collateral pledged for the same purpose, if any, is noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Concentration of Market and Credit Risk. In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded on the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

Certain Funds may hold high-yield and/or non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Funds may acquire securities in default and are not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default.

Certain Funds may enter into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in financial derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Certain Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Interest Only Obligations. These securities entitle the owner to receive only the interest portion from a bond, Treasury note or pool of mortgages. These securities are generally created by a third party separating a bond or pool of mortgages into distinct interest-only and principal-only securities. As the principal (par) amount of a bond or pool of mortgages is paid down, the amount of interest income earned by the owner will decline as well.

Payment In-Kind Securities. Certain Funds may invest in payment in-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require a pro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. Certain Funds may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by a Fund on a when-issued basis normally take place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of a Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When a Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield IICO, or the Fund’s investment subadviser, as applicable, consider advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis prior to settlement of the original purchase.

Loans. Certain Funds may invest in loans. Loans are generally made to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships, or other business entities. Loans are generally readily marketable, but some loans may be illiquid or may be subject to some restrictions on resale.

Certain loans contain provisions that obligate a Fund to fund future commitments at the borrower’s discretion. At September 30, 2013, there were no such unfunded commitments.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees” on the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by a Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. A Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not

offset by positive cash balances maintained by that Fund. The “Earnings credit” line item, if shown, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by that Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Trustees and Chief Compliance Officer Fees. Fees paid to the Trustees can be paid in cash or deferred to a later date, at the election of the Trustee according to the Deferred Fee Agreement entered into between the Trust and the Trustee(s). Each Fund records its portion of the deferred fees as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. All fees paid in cash plus any appreciation (depreciation) in the underlying deferred plan are shown on the Statement of Operations. Additionally, fees paid to the office of the Chief Compliance Officer of the Funds are shown on the Statement of Operations.

Indemnifications. The Trust’s organizational documents provide current and former Trustees and Officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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.

Subsequent Events. Management has performed a review for subsequent events through the date this report was issued.

 

3.   INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Each Fund’s investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an asset or would pay upon satisfying a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Each Fund calculates the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of its shares as of the close of the NYSE, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.

For purposes of calculating the NAV, the portfolio securities and other assets are valued on each business day using pricing and valuation methods as adopted by the Board. Where market quotes are readily available, fair value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services.

Prices for fixed-income securities are typically based on quotes that are obtained from an independent pricing service authorized by the Board. To determine values of fixed-income securities, the independent pricing service utilizes such factors as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other yield and risk factors it deems relevant in determining valuations. Securities that cannot be valued by the independent pricing service may be valued using quotes obtained from dealers that make markets in the securities.

Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost (which approximates value), whereby a portfolio security is valued at its cost initially, and thereafter valued to reflect a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Because many foreign markets close before the NYSE, events may occur between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE that could have a material impact on the valuation of foreign securities. Waddell & Reed Services Company (“WRSCO”), pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, evaluates the impact of these events and may adjust the valuation of foreign securities to reflect the fair value as of the close of the NYSE. In addition, all securities for which values are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are appraised at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Board.

Where market quotes are not readily available, portfolio securities or assets are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board or WRSCO pursuant to instructions from the Board.

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available.

The Board has delegated to WRSCO, the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events. WRSCO has established a Valuation Committee to administer and oversee the valuation process, including the use of third party pricing vendors.

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. For instances in which daily market quotes are not readily available, investments may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board, with reference to other securities or indices. In the event that the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee and appropriate consultation with the Board.

When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods applied by WRSCO that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that will ultimately be realized at the time the securities were sold.

WRSCO is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the pricing and valuation policies through a series of activities to provide reasonable comfort of the accuracy of prices including: 1) periodic vendor due diligence meetings to review methodologies, new developments, and process at

vendors, 2) daily and monthly multi-source pricing comparisons reviewed and submitted to the Valuation Committee, and 3) daily review of unpriced, stale, and variance reports with exceptions reviewed by management and the Valuation Committee.

Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

An individual investment’s fair value measurement is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

Level 1 – Observable input such as quoted prices, available in active markets, for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities. The fair value of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are estimated using recently executed transactions and based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, the prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and otherwise they would be categorized as Level 3.

Loans. Loans are valued using a price or composite price from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value of loans is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable market inputs obtained from independent sources. Loans are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable in which case they would be categorized as Level 3.

Bullion. The fair value of bullion is at the last settlement price at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate Bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the NYSE. Swaps are valued by an independent pricing service unless the price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at the price provided by a dealer in that security. Futures contracts traded on an exchange are generally valued at the settlement price. Listed options are ordinarily valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by an independent pricing service unless the price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at a quotation obtained from a broker-dealer. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are ordinarily valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by an independent pricing service for a comparable listed option unless such a price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at a quotation obtained from a broker-dealer. If no comparable listed option exists from which to obtain a price from an independent pricing service and a quotation cannot be obtained from a broker-dealer, the OTC option will be valued using a model reasonably designed to provide a current market price.

Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. OTC derivative contracts include forward foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products are modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case with interest rate swap and option contracts. A substantial majority of OTC derivative products valued using pricing models fall into this category and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Securities. Equity securities traded on U.S. or foreign securities exchanges or included in a national market system are valued at the official closing price at the close of each business day unless otherwise stated below. OTC equity securities and listed securities for which no price is readily available are valued at the average of the last bid and asked prices.

Mutual funds, including investment funds, typically are valued at the NAV reported as of the valuation date.

Securities that are stated at the last reported sales price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded and to the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign securities, for which the primary trading market closes at the same time or after the NYSE, are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and categorized in Level 1. Because many foreign securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the NYSE, closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intra-day trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of certain indices of securities based on a statistical analysis of their historical relationship; such valuations generally are categorized in Level 2.

Preferred stock, repurchase agreements, and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also generally categorized in Level 2.

Municipal Bonds. Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-wants lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Restricted Securities. Restricted securities that are deemed to be both Rule 144A securities and illiquid, as well as restricted securities held in non-public entities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and, therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Restricted securities that are valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities may be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that the discount is considered to be insignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety; otherwise they may be categorized as Level 3.

U.S. Government and Agency Securities. U.S. government and agency securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. Accordingly, U.S. government and agency securities are normally categorized in Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the liquidity and transparency of the market.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 occurred generally due to the lack of observable market data due to decreased market activity or information for these securities. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occurred generally due to the increased availability of observable market data due to increased market activity or information. Transfers between levels represent the values as of the beginning of the reporting period.

For fair valuations using unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. The beginning of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of the Funds’ assets and liabilities. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and Level 3 reconciliation, if any, have been included in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

Net realized gain (loss) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation), shown on the reconciliation of Level 3 investments if applicable, are included on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investments in unaffiliated securities and in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in unaffiliated securities, respectively. Additionally, the net change in unrealized appreciation for all Level 3 investments still held as of September 30, 2013, if applicable, is included on the Statement of Operations in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in unaffiliated securities.

The Funds may own different types of assets that are classified as Level 2 or Level 3. Assets classified as Level 2 can have a variety of observable inputs, including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, benchmark securities, and bid/offer quotations. These observable inputs are collected and utilized, primarily by an independent pricing service, in different evaluated pricing approaches depending upon the specific asset to determine a value.

The following disclosures contain information on why and how the Funds use derivative instruments, the associated risks of investing in derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial positions and results of operations when presented by primary underlying risk exposure.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Schedule of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the NYSE as provided by a bank, dealer or independent pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported on the Statement of Assets and

Liabilities as a receivable or payable and on the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Risks to a Fund related to the use of such contracts include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund’s maximum loss will consist of the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts that is not collateralized.

Futures Contracts. Certain Funds may engage in buying and selling futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit, in a segregated account, an amount 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 Fund each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying debt security or index.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Schedule of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are identified on the Schedule of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility of loss of securities or cash held as collateral, that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Option Contracts. 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 value of the option written. 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.

Investments in options, whether purchased or written, involve certain risks. Writing put options and purchasing call options may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security (or basket of securities). With written options, there may be times when a Fund will be required to purchase or sell securities to meet its obligation under the option contract where the required action is not beneficial to the Fund, due to unfavorable movement of the market price of the underlying security (or basket of securities). Additionally, to the extent a Fund enters into OTC option transactions with counterparties, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that counterparties to these OTC transactions will be unable to meet their obligations under the terms of the transaction.

Swap Agreements. Certain Funds may invest in swap agreements.

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.

The creditworthiness of the counterparty 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. The maximum loss a Fund may incur consists of the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts that is not collateralized.

Collateral and Rights of Offset. A Fund may mitigate credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes (“CSA”) included with an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement which is the standard contract governing most derivative transactions between the Fund and each of its counterparties. The CSA allows the Fund and its counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the Fund’s custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the CSA. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 2 “Segregation and Collateralization” for additional information with respect to collateral practices.

Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires an entity that has financial instruments that are either (1) offset or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.

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

Administrative Fee. Each Fund also pays WISC a monthly 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 is voluntarily waived by WISC until a Fund’s net assets are at least $10 million and is included in “Accounting services fee” on the Statement of Operations.

Shareholder Servicing. General. Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement between the Trust and WISC, 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, each Fund pays a monthly fee that ranges from $1.5042 to $1.6958 per account; however, WISC has agreed to reduce that fee if the number of total shareholder accounts within the Complex (Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds, InvestEd Portfolios and Ivy Funds) reaches certain levels. Effective June 6, 2011 for Class R shares, each Fund pays a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. Prior to June 6, 2011 the fee was 0.20 of 1%. 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. Each Fund also reimburses WISC for certain out-of-pocket costs for all classes.

Networked accounts. For certain networked accounts (that is, those accounts whose Fund shares are purchased through certain financial intermediaries), WISC 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. If the aggregate annual rate of the WISC transfer agent fee and the costs charged by the financial services companies exceeds $18.00 per account for a Fund, WISC will reimburse the Fund the amount in excess of $18.00.

Broker accounts. Certain broker-dealers that maintain shareholder accounts with each Fund through an omnibus account provide transfer agent and other shareholder-related services that would otherwise be provided by WISC if the individual accounts that comprise the omnibus account were opened by their beneficial owners directly. Each Fund may pay such broker-dealers a per account fee for each open account within the omnibus account, or a fixed rate fee, based on the average daily net asset value of the omnibus account (or a combination thereof).

Distribution and Service Plan. Class A and Class E Shares. Under a Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Trust pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Distribution and Service Plan”), each Fund may pay a distribution and/or service fee to Ivy Funds Distributors, Inc. (“IFDI”) for Class A and Class E shares 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 and Class E shares and/or provision of personal services to Fund shareholders and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts of that class.

Class B and Class C Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, each Fund may pay IFDI a service fee not to exceed 0.25% and a distribution fee not to exceed 0.75% of the Fund’s average annual net assets for Class B and Class C shares 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.

Class R Shares. Under the Distribution and Service 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.

Class Y Shares. Under the Distribution and Service 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.

Sales Charges. As principal underwriter for the Trust’s shares, IFDI receives sales commissions (which are not an expense of the Trust) for sales of Class A and Class E shares. A 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 period ended September 30, 2013, IFDI received the following amounts in sales commissions and CDSCs:

Internal Revenue Code regulations permit each Fund to elect to defer into its next fiscal year capital losses incurred between each November 1 and the end of its fiscal year. Each Fund is also permitted to defer into its next fiscal year late-year ordinary losses that arise from the netting of activity generated between each November 1 and the end of its fiscal year on certain specified ordinary items.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers as of March 31, 2013 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”), a Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to any losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years which have only an eight year carryforward period. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under the previous law. The Fund’s first fiscal year end subject to the Modernization Act is March 31, 2012. The following table shows the expiration dates for capital loss carryovers from pre-enactment taxable years and the amounts of capital loss carryovers, if any, by each of the applicable Funds electing to be taxed as a RIC during the year ended March 31, 2013:

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Ivy Funds

 

 

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Ivy Funds (the “Trust”) held on August 12th and 13th, 2013, the Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement between Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO”) and the Trust and the continuance of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements between IICO and:

 

   

Advantus Capital Management, Inc. (with respect to Ivy Bond Fund and Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund)

   

Mackenzie Financial Corporation (with respect to Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund)

   

Wall Street Associates (with respect to Ivy Micro Cap Growth Fund)

   

LaSalle Securities (Ivy Global Real Estate Fund and Ivy Global Risk-Managed Real Estate Fund)

(each such subadviser referred to herein as a “Subadviser”).

The Board’s Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel, and met with such counsel separately from representatives of IICO. Independent legal counsel explained the 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 and the Subadvisers, profitability (including any fall-out benefits) from the relationships with each series of the Trust (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), economies of scale, the role played by the Independent Trustees, and information on comparative fees and expenses. The Board also considered the written responses and supplementary materials produced by IICO and each Subadviser in response to a 15(c) due diligence request list submitted by the Independent Trustees’ 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, as well as an explanation of the methodology by which the profitability analysis was calculated. 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 Trustees received and reviewed a considerable amount of information that their independent fee consultant had provided to them. The Independent Trustees previously had reviewed these materials during a telephonic meeting earlier in August. They further reviewed these materials extensively among themselves, with their independent legal counsel and independent fee consultant, and with the other Board members at an executive session of the Independent Trustees on August 12th, as well as the August 13th Board meeting, during 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 nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by IICO and each Subadviser, taking into account the large amount of materials produced by IICO and each Subadviser in response to the 15(c) due diligence request lists submitted on their behalf by counsel. They also considered the knowledge they had received from the regular meetings of the Board, including from the materials provided in connection with those meetings, such as the resources and key personnel of IICO and each Subadviser, as well as the other services provided to the Funds by IICO and each Subadviser (such as, managing the quality of execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s 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 also took into account the compliance environment at IICO and each Subadviser, noting the resources that IICO has dedicated towards compliance. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided by IICO and each Subadviser 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 Funds

The Board next discussed whether IICO or any Subadviser derives any other direct or indirect benefit from serving the Funds. The Board considered the benefits that accrue to each organization 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, administrative and fund accounting services. After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that none of IICO, any Subadviser or any of their affiliates receive any additional direct or indirect benefits that would preclude the Board from approving the continuation of an investment advisory agreement with IICO or any investment subadvisory agreement with a Subadviser.

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. The Board concluded that the Funds’ asset sizes and fee structures did not warrant the restructuring or reevaluation of the fee breakpoints for the Funds at the current 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, focusing on a number of Funds that the independent fee consultant had identified. 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 identified by the

independent fee consultant lagged that of their peers or respective Lipper index, the Board recognized that IICO, or the applicable Subadviser, had taken, or was taking, steps to address that underperformance, 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 by IICO in light of the services provided by IICO and each Subadviser. 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 other accounts in the same asset class for certain Funds. In that regard, the Board noted that IICO performs significant additional services for the Funds as compared to those other accounts. 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, noting that, as the Funds’ assets have increased over time, the expense ratios of the Funds generally have fallen. After completing this examination, the Board concluded that each Fund’s expenses are appropriate at the current time.

Independent Fee Consultant Review

During August of 2013, and as part of their regularly scheduled meetings, the Disinterested Trustees of Ivy Funds (collectively, the “Ivy Funds” and any separate series thereof an “Ivy Fund”) reviewed a substantial amount of information in connection with considering the continuation of the existing investment management agreement currently in effect between Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO”) and the Ivy Funds. The Disinterested Trustees of the Ivy Funds engaged an independent fee consultant to assist them in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees charged by IICO to the Ivy Funds. The independent fee consultant’s review addressed the following fee-related factors:

 

  1. The nature, extent 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 agreement, and profit margins of IICO and its affiliates from supplying such services
  5. Possible economies of scale as an Ivy Fund grows larger

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

Summary Findings

The report stated that IICO delivered reasonable levels of performance in the longer-term periods and service to the Ivy Funds in relation to its management fees and relative to investment advisers of comparable mutual funds. For the three-year period ended March 31, 2013, when compared to their respective peer groups established by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), approximately 21% of the Ivy Funds were in the top quintile of performance and 39% of the Ivy Funds were in the top two quintiles of performance. The independent fee consultant noted that the Ivy Funds’ performance appeared 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, economic analysis, ability to serve small account sizes and an effective trading infrastructure, and that these factors offer the Ivy Funds a reasonable expectation of strong investment and service performance over the long term.

The report stated that for the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, the total expense ratios of the Ivy Funds were 3% below the mean total expense ratios of comparable Lipper Expense Group peers and 14% below the mean total expense ratios of funds in the comparable Lipper Expense Universes. The management fees for the Ivy Funds on average were approximately 7% below the mean management fees for their Lipper Expense Groups and Lipper Expense Universes. The independent fee consultant noted that the Ivy Funds’ small average account size introduces certain biases in the Lipper analyses that generally work against Ivy Funds in Lipper expense comparisons and, as a result, the Lipper findings may be considered conservative in that regard. The independent fee consultant found that 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 report also stated that the management fees IICO charges to the Ivy Funds are reasonable in relation to the management fees it charges to its institutional account clients. The report noted that these institutional account clients have different service and infrastructure needs and in addition, based on industry data, the average spread between management fees charged to the Ivy Funds and those it charges to institutional account clients is reasonable relative to the average fee spreads computed from industry surveys.

The independent fee consultant found that the level of profit earned by IICO from managing the Ivy Funds appears to be reasonable. The report noted that IICO’s overall profitability from managing the Ivy Funds and its other operations is at the median of most similarly-sized, publicly traded mutual fund managers and appears adequate to enable IICO to continue to provide quality support to the Ivy Funds and their shareholders.

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 to IICO, as a percentage of 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 average net assets. Where these terms are used in reference to groups of Ivy Funds, numbers expressed are usually on an asset-weighted basis. Fee and performance data used in screening methodologies are usually for the period ending March 31, 2013. Lipper report data reflects Class A shares.

The report stated that the independent fee consultant found the Ivy Funds’ fees and expenses reasonable in light of any possible economies of scale that may exist. The report went on to state that the Ivy Funds’ shareholders are generally benefiting from lower expense ratios resulting from lower management fees through growth in assets and savings generated in non-management expenses.

Conclusions

The independent fee consultant believes that the services provided by IICO and its affiliates and expenses incurred by the Ivy Funds in the previous twelve months are reasonable and provide adequate justification for renewal of the Ivy Funds’ existing advisory agreements.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Ivy Funds

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

LOGO

Henry J. Herrmann, CFA

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

The year since our last report to you continued the volatility trend that seems to have become the norm. Again this year, the key culprits were politics, geopolitical concerns and confusing policy communication by central bankers.

Markets became increasingly volatile over the summer as bond yields rose and stocks fell amid speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) was preparing to taper its quantitative easing program. Yields reversed course and stocks moved higher when the Fed did nothing in September. The Fed’s decision provided only a brief respite before concerns began to swell around Congress’ failure to reach a budget agreement. Lack of a budget prompted fears that there would be a similar impasse on the October debate about increasing the debt ceiling, which could lead to a downgrade of U.S. debt or even default.

At the end of September, the benchmark 10-year Treasury was yielding 2.64%, compared with 1.65% a year earlier and 1.78% at the start of the calendar year. Amid the turmoil, the S&P 500 Index reached a new record high in late September of 1,725.52 before moving slightly lower by the end of the fiscal year.

Despite these issues, and the occasional market swings they can cause, the U.S. economy continued its steady growth, although at a slow pace. We’ve seen improvement in several key indicators, including gross domestic product, jobs growth, retail sales and the housing market. Internationally, a spike in China’s overnight interbank lending rates and violent unrest in Syria, Turkey, Brazil and Egypt unsettled investors during the year and hurt currencies, fixed-income and equity markets in developing countries broadly.

ILLUSTRATION OF FUND EXPENSES

Ivy Funds

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees, and other Fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013.

Actual Expenses

 

 

The first section in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each share class. You may use the information in this section, 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 section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There may be additional fees charged to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. These fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), IRA Rollovers, Roth IRAs, Conversion Roth IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Simple IRAs, Tax-Sheltered Accounts (TSAs), Keogh Plans, Owner Only 401(k) (Exclusive K) Plans and Final Pay Plans. As of the close of the six months covered by the table, a customer is charged an annual fee of $18 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 following table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

 

The second section in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses for each share class based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of five percent 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 five percent hypothetical example with the five percent hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses paid may be impacted by expense reduction arrangements. If those arrangements had not been in place, expenses paid would have been higher. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements for further information.

* 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, 2013, and divided by 365.

 

** Class is closed to investment.

 

***These shares are not available for direct investment. However, they are available by exchange from Class B or Class C shares of another lvy Fund.

 

(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 last column of this section.

 

(2) This section uses a hypothetical five percent 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Ivy Funds

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

1.   ORGANIZATION

Ivy Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy Core Equity Fund, Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund, Ivy Dividend Opportunities Fund, Ivy European Opportunities Fund, Ivy Global Bond Fund, Ivy Global Equity Income Fund, Ivy Global Income Allocation Fund, Ivy High Income Fund, Ivy International Core Equity Fund, Ivy International Growth Fund, Ivy Large Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Limited-Term Bond Fund, Ivy Managed European/Pacific Fund, Ivy Managed International Opportunities Fund, Ivy Micro Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Mid Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Money Market Fund, Ivy Municipal Bond Fund, Ivy Municipal High Income Fund, Ivy Pacific Opportunities Fund, Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund, Ivy Small Cap Value Fund, Ivy Tax-Managed Equity Fund and Ivy Value Fund (each, a “Fund”) are 25 series of the Trust and are the only series of the Trust included in these financial statements. The investment objective(s), policies and risk factors of each Fund are described more fully in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Each Fund’s investment manager is Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO” or the “Manager”).

Each Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Certain Funds may also offer Class E, Class I, Class R and/or Class Y shares. Class A and Class E shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class I, Class R and Class Y shares are sold without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Net investment income, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer agent and shareholder servicing fees, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C, E, R and Y have a distribution and service plan. Class I shares are not included in the plan. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 96 months after the date of purchase.

 

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. 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 Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. All or a portion of the distributions received from a real estate investment trust or publicly traded partnership may be designated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain.

Foreign Currency Translation. Each Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars daily, using foreign exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). 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. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Foreign exchange rates are valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

It is the policy of each Fund 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, each Fund intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of excise tax. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes. Management of the Trust periodically reviews all tax positions to assess that it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authority based on the technical merits of each position. As of and for the period ended September 30, 2013, management believes that no liability for unrecognized tax positions is required. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state authorities for returns filed for tax years after 2008.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. 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 (“U.S. GAAP”). If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax return of capital.

Segregation and Collateralization. In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., dollar rolls, financial futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, securities with extended settlement periods and swaps), the Fund will segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount that is required to be physically segregated for the benefit of the counterparty. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party

broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit cash or securities as collateral for certain investments. Certain countries require that cash reserves be held while investing in companies incorporated in that country. These cash reserves and cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Restricted cash.” Securities collateral pledged for the same purpose, if any, is noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Concentration of Market and Credit Risk. In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded on the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.

Certain Funds may hold high-yield and/or non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Funds may acquire securities in default and are not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default.

Certain Funds may enter into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in financial derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Certain Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Interest Only Obligations. These securities entitle the owner to receive only the interest portion from a bond, Treasury note or pool of mortgages. These securities are generally created by a third party separating a bond or pool of mortgages into distinct interest-only and principal-only securities. As the principal (par) amount of a bond or pool of mortgages is paid down, the amount of interest income earned by the owner will decline as well.

Payment In-Kind Securities. Certain Funds may invest in payment in-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require a pro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. Certain Funds may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by a Fund on a when-issued basis normally take place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of a Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When a Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield IICO, or the Fund’s investment subadviser, as applicable, consider advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis prior to settlement of the original purchase.

Loans. Certain Funds may invest in loans. Loans are generally made to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships, or other business entities. Loans are generally readily marketable, but some loans may be illiquid or may be subject to some restrictions on resale.

Certain loans contain provisions that obligate a Fund to fund future commitments at the borrower’s discretion. See Note 10 in the Notes to the Financial Statements for more information regarding commitments.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees” on the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by a Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. A Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by that Fund. The “Earnings credit” line item, if shown, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by that Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Trustees and Chief Compliance Officer Fees. Fees paid to the Trustees can be paid in cash or deferred to a later date, at the election of the Trustee according to the Deferred Fee Agreement entered into between the Trust and the Trustee(s). Each Fund records its portion of the deferred fees as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. All fees paid in cash plus any appreciation (depreciation) in the underlying deferred plan are shown on the Statement of Operations. Additionally, fees paid to the office of the Chief Compliance Officer of the Funds are shown on the Statement of Operations.

Indemnifications. The Trust’s organizational documents provide current and former Trustees and Officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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.

Subsequent Events. Management has performed a review for subsequent events through the date this report was issued.

 

3.   INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Each Fund’s investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an asset or would pay upon satisfying a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Each Fund calculates the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of its shares as of the close of the NYSE, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.

For purposes of calculating the NAV, the portfolio securities and other assets are valued on each business day using pricing and valuation methods as adopted by the Board. Where market quotes are readily available, fair value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services.

Prices for fixed-income securities are typically based on quotes that are obtained from an independent pricing service authorized by the Board. To determine values of fixed-income securities, the independent pricing service utilizes such factors as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other yield and risk factors it deems relevant in determining valuations. Securities that cannot be valued by the independent pricing service may be valued using quotes obtained from dealers that make markets in the securities.

Investments in Ivy Money Market Fund and short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost (which approximates value), whereby a portfolio security is valued at its cost initially, and thereafter valued to reflect a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Because many foreign markets close before the NYSE, events may occur between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE that could have a material impact on the valuation of foreign securities. Waddell & Reed Services Company (“WRSCO”), pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, evaluates the impact of these events and may adjust the valuation of foreign securities to reflect the fair value as of the close of the NYSE. In addition, all securities for which values are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are appraised at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Board.

Where market quotes are not readily available, portfolio securities or assets are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board or WRSCO pursuant to instructions from the Board.

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available.

The Board has delegated to WRSCO, the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events. WRSCO has established a Valuation Committee to administer and oversee the valuation process, including the use of third party pricing vendors.

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. For instances in which daily market quotes are not readily available, investments may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board, with reference to other securities or indices. In the event that the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee and appropriate consultation with the Board.

When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods applied by WRSCO that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that will ultimately be realized at the time the securities were sold.

WRSCO is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the pricing and valuation policies through a series of activities to provide reasonable comfort of the accuracy of prices including: 1) periodic vendor due diligence meetings to review methodologies, new developments, and process at vendors, 2) daily and monthly multi-source pricing comparisons reviewed and submitted to the Valuation Committee, and 3) daily review of unpriced, stale, and variance reports with exceptions reviewed by management and the Valuation Committee.

Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

An individual investment’s fair value measurement is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

Level 1 – Observable input such as quoted prices, available in active markets, for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities. The fair value of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are estimated using recently executed transactions and based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, the prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and otherwise they would be categorized as Level 3.

Loans. Loans are valued using a price or composite price from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value of loans is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable market inputs obtained from independent sources. Loans are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable in which case they would be categorized as Level 3.

Bullion. The fair value of bullion is at the last settlement price at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate Bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the NYSE. Swaps are valued by an independent pricing service unless the price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at the price provided by a dealer in that security. Futures contracts traded on an exchange are generally valued at the settlement price. Listed options are ordinarily valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by an independent pricing service unless the price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at a quotation obtained from a broker-dealer. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are ordinarily valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by an independent pricing service for a comparable listed option unless such a price is unavailable, in which case they are valued at a quotation obtained from a broker-dealer. If no comparable listed option exists from which to obtain a price from an independent pricing service and a quotation cannot be obtained from a broker-dealer, the OTC option will be valued using a model reasonably designed to provide a current market price.

Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. OTC derivative contracts include forward foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products are modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case with interest rate swap and option contracts. A substantial majority of OTC derivative products valued using pricing models fall into this category and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Securities. Equity securities traded on U.S. or foreign securities exchanges or included in a national market system are valued at the official closing price at the close of each business day unless otherwise stated below. OTC equity securities and listed securities for which no price is readily available are valued at the average of the last bid and asked prices.

Mutual funds, including investment funds, typically are valued at the NAV reported as of the valuation date.

Securities that are stated at the last reported sales price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded and to the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign securities, for which the primary trading market closes at the same time or after the NYSE, are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and categorized in Level 1. Because many foreign securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the NYSE, closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intra-day trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of certain indices of securities based on a statistical analysis of their historical relationship; such valuations generally are categorized in Level 2.

Preferred stock, repurchase agreements, and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also generally categorized in Level 2.

Municipal Bonds. Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-wants lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Restricted Securities. Restricted securities that are deemed to be both Rule 144A securities and illiquid, as well as restricted securities held in non-public entities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and, therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Restricted securities that are valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities may be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that the discount is considered to be insignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety; otherwise they may be categorized as Level 3.

U.S. Government and Agency Securities. U.S. government and agency securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. Accordingly, U.S. government and agency securities are normally categorized in Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the liquidity and transparency of the market.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 occurred generally due to the lack of observable market data due to decreased market activity or information for these securities. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occurred generally due to the increased availability of observable market data due to increased market activity or information. Transfers between levels represent the values as of the beginning of the reporting period.

For fair valuations using unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. The beginning of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of the Funds’ assets and liabilities. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and Level 3 reconciliation, if any, have been included in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

Net realized gain (loss) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation), shown on the reconciliation of Level 3 investments if applicable, are included on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investments in unaffiliated securities and in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in unaffiliated securities, respectively. Additionally, the net change in unrealized appreciation for all Level 3 investments still held as of period ended September 30, 2013, if applicable, is included on the Statement of Operations in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in unaffiliated securities.

The Funds may own different types of assets that are classified as Level 2 or Level 3. Assets classified as Level 2 can have a variety of observable inputs, including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, benchmark securities, and bid/offer quotations. These observable inputs are collected and utilized, primarily by an independent pricing service, in different evaluated pricing approaches depending upon the specific asset to determine a value.

4.   DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS ($ amounts in thousands unless indicated otherwise)

The following disclosures contain information on why and how the Funds use derivative instruments, the associated risks of investing in derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial positions and results of operations when presented by primary underlying risk exposure.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Schedule of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the NYSE as provided by a bank, dealer or independent pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and on the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Risks to a Fund related to the use of such contracts include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund’s maximum loss will consist of the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts that is not collateralized.

Futures Contracts. Certain Funds may engage in buying and selling futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit, in a segregated account, an amount 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 Fund each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying debt security or index.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Schedule of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are identified on the Schedule of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility of loss of securities or cash held as collateral, that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Option Contracts. 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 value of the option written. 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.

Investments in options, whether purchased or written, involve certain risks. Writing put options and purchasing call options may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security (or basket of securities). With written options, there may be times when a Fund will be required to purchase or sell securities to meet its obligation under the option contract where the required action is not beneficial to the Fund, due to unfavorable movement of the market price of the underlying security (or basket of securities). Additionally, to the extent a Fund enters into OTC option transactions with counterparties, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that counterparties to these OTC transactions will be unable to meet their obligations under the terms of the transaction.

Swap Agreements. Certain Funds may invest in swap agreements.

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.

The creditworthiness of the counterparty 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. The maximum loss a Fund may incur consists of the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts that is not collateralized.

Collateral and rights of offset. A Fund may mitigate credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes (“CSA”) included with an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement which is the standard contract governing most derivative transactions between the Fund and each of its counterparties. The CSA allows the Fund and its counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the Fund’s custodian.

 

  2013   SEMIANNUAL REPORT   193

The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the CSA. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 2 “Segregation and Collateralization” for additional information with respect to collateral practices.

Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires an entity that has financial instruments that are either (1) offset or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.

The following tables present the offsetting of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013:

Under an agreement between IICO and Mackenzie Financial Corporation (“Mackenzie”), Mackenzie serves as subadviser to Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund. Under an agreement between IICO and Wall Street Associates, Wall Street Associates serves as subadviser to Ivy Micro Cap Growth Fund. Under an agreement between IICO and Advantus Capital Management, Inc. (“Advantus”), Advantus serves as subadviser to Ivy Bond Fund. Each subadviser makes investment decisions in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions under the supervision of IICO and the oversight of the Board. IICO pays all costs applicable of the subadvisers.

Accounting Services Fees. The Trust has an Accounting Services Agreement with WRSCO, doing business as WI Services Company (“WISC”), an indirect subsidiary of WDR. Under the agreement, WISC acts as the agent in providing bookkeeping and accounting services and assistance to the Trust, including maintenance of Fund records, pricing of Fund shares and preparation of certain shareholder reports. For these services, each Fund, other than Ivy Managed European/Pacific Fund and Ivy Managed International Opportunities Fund (the “Ivy Managed Funds”), pays WISC a monthly fee of one-twelfth of the annual fee based on the average net asset levels shown in the following table:

 

(M - Millions)    $0 to

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

Under the Accounting and Administrative Services Agreement for the Ivy Managed Funds, each Fund pays WISC a monthly fee of one-twelfth of the annual fee shown in the following table:

In addition, for each class of shares in excess of one, each of the Ivy Managed Funds pays WISC a monthly per-class fee equal to 1.25% of the monthly accounting services base fee.

Administrative Fee. Each Fund also pays WISC a monthly 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 is voluntarily waived by WISC until a Fund’s net assets are at least $10 million and is included in “Accounting services fee” on the Statement of Operations.

Shareholder Servicing. General. Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement between the Trust and WISC, 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, each Fund pays a monthly fee that ranges from $1.5042 to $1.6958 per account; however, WISC has agreed to reduce that fee if the number of total shareholder accounts within the Complex (Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds, InvestEd Portfolios and Ivy Funds) reaches certain levels. 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. Effective June 6, 2011 for Class R shares, each Fund pays a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the class for the preceding month. Prior to June 6, 2011 the fee was 0.20 of 1%. 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. Each Fund also reimburses WISC for certain out-of-pocket costs for all classes.

Networked accounts. For certain networked accounts (that is, those accounts whose Fund shares are purchased through certain financial intermediaries), WISC 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. If the aggregate annual rate of the WISC transfer agent fee and the costs charged by the financial services companies exceeds $18.00 per account for a Fund, WISC will reimburse the Fund the amount in excess of $18.00.

Broker accounts. Certain broker-dealers that maintain shareholder accounts with each Fund through an omnibus account provide transfer agent and other shareholder-related services that would otherwise be provided by WISC if the individual accounts that comprise the omnibus account were opened by their beneficial owners directly. Each Fund may pay such broker-dealers a per account fee for each open account within the omnibus account, or a fixed rate fee, based on the average daily net asset value of the omnibus account (or a combination thereof).

Distribution and Service Plan. Class A and Class E Shares. Under a Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Trust pursuant to Rule 12b–1 under the 1940 Act (the “Distribution and Service Plan”), each Fund, other than Ivy Money Market Fund, may pay a distribution and/or service fee to Ivy Funds Distributors, Inc. (“IFDI”) for Class A and Class E shares 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 and Class E shares and/or provision of personal services to Fund shareholders and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts of that class.

Class B and Class C Shares. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, each Fund may pay IFDI a service fee not to exceed 0.25% and a distribution fee not to exceed 0.75% of the Fund’s average annual net assets for Class B and Class C shares 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.

Class R Shares. Under the Distribution and Service 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.

Class Y Shares.

Sales Charges. As principal underwriter for the Trust’s shares, IFDI receives sales commissions (which are not an expense of the Trust) for sales of Class A and Class E shares. A 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.

Internal Revenue Code regulations permit each Fund to elect to defer into its next fiscal year capital losses incurred between each November 1 and the end of its fiscal year. Each Fund is also permitted to defer into its next fiscal year late-year ordinary losses that arise from the netting of activity generated between each November 1 and the end of its fiscal year on certain specified ordinary items.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers as of March 31, 2013 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”), a Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to any losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years which have only an eight year carryforward period. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under the previous law. The Fund’s first fiscal year end subject to the Modernization Act is March 31, 2012. The following table shows the expiration dates for capital loss carryovers from pre-enactment taxable years and the amounts of capital loss carryovers, if any, by each of the applicable Funds electing to be taxed as a RIC during the year ended March 31, 2013:

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Ivy Funds

 

 

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Ivy Funds (the “Trust”) held on August 12th and 13th, 2013, the Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement between Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO”) and the Trust and the continuance of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements between IICO and:

 

   

Advantus Capital Management, Inc. (with respect to Ivy Bond Fund and Ivy Real Estate Securities Fund)

 

   

Mackenzie Financial Corporation (with respect to Ivy Cundill Global Value Fund)

 

   

Wall Street Associates (with respect to Ivy Micro Cap Growth Fund)

 

   

LaSalle Securities (Ivy Global Real Estate Fund and Ivy Global Risk-Managed Real Estate Fund)

(each such subadviser referred to herein as a “Subadviser”).

The Board’s Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel, and met with such counsel separately from representatives of IICO. Independent legal counsel explained the 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 and the Subadvisers, profitability (including any fall-out benefits) from the relationships with each series of the Trust (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), economies of scale, the role played by the Independent Trustees, and information on comparative fees and expenses. The Board also considered the written responses and supplementary materials produced by IICO and each Subadviser in response to a 15(c) due diligence request list submitted by the Independent Trustees’ 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, as well as an explanation of the methodology by which the profitability analysis was calculated. 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 Trustees received and reviewed a considerable amount of information that their independent fee consultant had provided to them. The Independent Trustees previously had reviewed these materials during a telephonic meeting earlier in August. They further reviewed these materials extensively among themselves, with their independent legal counsel and independent fee consultant, and with the other Board members at an executive session of the Independent Trustees on August 12th, as well as the August 13th Board meeting, during 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 nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by IICO and each Subadviser, taking into account the large amount of materials produced by IICO and each Subadviser in response to the 15(c) due diligence request lists submitted on their behalf by counsel. They also considered the knowledge they had received from the regular meetings of the Board, including from the materials provided in connection with those meetings, such as the resources and key personnel of IICO and each Subadviser, as well as the other services provided to the Funds by IICO and each Subadviser (such as, managing the quality of execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s 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 also took into account the compliance environment at IICO and each Subadviser, noting the resources that IICO has dedicated towards compliance. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided by IICO and each Subadviser 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 Funds

The Board next discussed whether IICO or any Subadviser derives any other direct or indirect benefit from serving the Funds. The Board considered the benefits that accrue to each organization 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, administrative and fund accounting services. After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that none of IICO, any Subadviser or any of their affiliates receive any additional direct or indirect benefits that would preclude the Board from approving the continuation of an investment advisory agreement with IICO or any investment sub-advisory agreement with a Subadviser.

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. The Board concluded that the Funds’ asset sizes and fee structures did not warrant the restructuring or reevaluation of the fee breakpoints for the Funds at the current 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, focusing on a number of Funds that the independent fee consultant had identified. 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

 

214   SEMIANNUAL REPORT   2013  


Table of Contents

 

 

concluded that the Funds’ performance in each asset class was acceptable. Although the performance of some of the focus Funds identified by the independent fee consultant lagged that of their peers or respective Lipper index, the Board recognized that IICO, or the applicable Subadviser, had taken, or was taking, steps to address that underperformance, 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 by IICO in light of the services provided by IICO and each Subadviser. 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 other accounts in the same asset class for certain

Funds. In that regard, the Board noted that IICO performs significant additional services for the Funds as compared to those other accounts. 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, noting that, as the Funds’ assets have increased over time, the expense ratios of the Funds generally have fallen. After completing this examination, the Board concluded that each Fund’s expenses are appropriate at the current time.

Independent Fee Consultant Review

During August of 2013, and as part of their regularly scheduled meetings, the Disinterested Trustees of Ivy Funds (collectively, the “Ivy Funds” and any separate series thereof an “Ivy Fund”) reviewed a substantial amount of information in connection with considering the continuation of the existing investment management agreement currently in effect between Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO”) and the Ivy Funds. The Disinterested Trustees of the Ivy Funds engaged an independent fee consultant to assist them in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees charged by IICO to the Ivy Funds. The independent fee consultant’s review addressed the following fee-related factors:

 

  1. The nature, extent 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 agreement, and profit margins of IICO and its affiliates from supplying such services

 

  5. Possible economies of scale as an Ivy Fund grows larger

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

Summary Findings

The report stated that IICO delivered reasonable levels of performance in the longer-term periods and service to the Ivy Funds in relation to its management fees and relative to investment advisers of comparable mutual funds. For the three-year period ended March 31, 2013, when compared to their respective peer groups established by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), approximately 21% of the Ivy Funds were in the top quintile of performance and 39% of the Ivy Funds were in the top two quintiles of performance. The independent fee consultant noted that the Ivy Funds’ performance appeared 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, economic analysis, ability to serve small account sizes and an effective trading infrastructure, and that these factors offer the Ivy Funds a reasonable expectation of strong investment and service performance over the long term.

The report stated that for the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, the total expense ratios of the Ivy Funds were 3% below the mean total expense ratios of comparable Lipper Expense Group peers and 14% below the mean total expense ratios of funds in the comparable Lipper Expense Universes. The management fees for the Ivy Funds on average were approximately 7% below the mean management fees for their Lipper Expense Groups and Lipper Expense Universes. The independent fee consultant noted that the Ivy Funds’ small average account size introduces certain biases in the Lipper analyses that generally work against Ivy Funds in Lipper expense comparisons and, as a result, the Lipper findings may be considered conservative in that regard. The independent fee consultant found that within the larger Lipper averages, the management fees and total expenses of individual Ivy Funds and share classes are reasonable relative to their performance.

 

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 to IICO, as a percentage of 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 average net assets. Where these terms are used in reference to groups of Ivy Funds, numbers expressed are usually on an asset-weighted basis. Fee and performance data used in screening methodologies are usually for the period ending March 31, 2013. Lipper report data reflects Class A shares.

The report also stated that the management fees IICO charges to the Ivy Funds are reasonable in relation to the management fees it charges to its institutional account clients. The report noted that these institutional account clients have different service and infrastructure needs and in addition, based on industry data, the average spread between management fees charged to the Ivy Funds and those it charges to institutional account clients is reasonable relative to the average fee spreads computed from industry surveys.

The independent fee consultant found that the level of profit earned by IICO from managing the Ivy Funds appears to be reasonable. The report noted that IICO’s overall profitability from managing the Ivy Funds and its other operations is at the median of most similarly-sized, publicly traded mutual fund managers and appears adequate to enable IICO to continue to provide quality support to the Ivy Funds and their shareholders.

The report stated that the independent fee consultant found the Ivy Funds’ fees and expenses reasonable in light of any possible economies of scale that may exist. The report went on to state that the Ivy Funds’ shareholders are generally benefiting from lower expense ratios resulting from lower management fees through growth in assets and savings generated in non-management expenses.

Conclusions

The independent fee consultant believes that the services provided by IICO and its affiliates and expenses incurred by the Ivy Funds in the previous twelve months are reasonable and provide adequate justification for renewal of the Ivy Funds’ existing advisory agreements.

Approval of Ivy Global Equity Income Fund

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Ivy Funds (the “Trust”) held on May 22, 2012, the trustees, including all of the trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Independent Trustees”), considered and approved an amendment to the Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Ivy Investment Management Company (“IICO”) and the Trust, on behalf of Ivy Global Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”), to include the Fund under the Agreement. The Fund is a newly created series of the Trust.

The Independent Trustees were assisted in their consideration of the Agreement by independent legal counsel, and met with such counsel separately from representatives of IICO and the interested trustee. Independent legal counsel had provided the Board with a memorandum that discussed the various factors that the Board should consider as part of its consideration of the Agreement, including, among other things, the nature and the quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Fund by IICO, IICO’s projected profitability (including any fall-out benefits) from its proposed relationship with the Fund, projected economies of scale, the role played by the Independent Trustees and information on comparative fees and expenses. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s determination to approve the Agreement are discussed below.

In considering the Agreement, the Board noted that the Fund would be managed in a substantially similar fashion as the equity portion of the Ivy Global Income Allocation Fund. Although the Fund has not yet commenced operations and therefore the Board did not have specific information to examine, the Board concluded that the Fund appeared to be designed to be able to achieve acceptable performance. The Board also considered the proposed expenses of the Fund, the cost of the services proposed to be provided by IICO, including as compared to the other funds in the Ivy Funds family, and the proposed expense cap agreement, and concluded that the proposed expenses of the Fund were acceptable. The Board, however, did not discuss the projected profitability of IICO in managing the Fund because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, but noted that it would monitor profitability once the Fund began operations. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided to the Fund by IICO, taking into account the investment objective and strategy of the Fund based upon its experience with IICO, as well as the materials previously provided to the Board on the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed the resources and key personnel of IICO, especially those proposed to provide investment management services to the Fund. The Board also considered other services proposed to be provided to the Fund by IICO, based upon its current experiences with IICO, such as monitoring adherence to the Ivy 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 policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services proposed to be provided by IICO are reasonable, considering the quality of the services currently provided by IICO for other funds of the Ivy Funds. The Board also discussed whether IICO would derive any other direct or indirect benefits from serving as investment adviser to the Fund. The Board considered the benefits that would accrue to IICO from its relationship with the Fund, including the fact that a variety of services are provided by affiliates of IICO, including distribution, shareholder servicing and transfer agency services. After consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that neither IICO nor its affiliates would receive any additional direct benefits that would preclude the Board from approving the Agreement for the Fund. The Board did not discuss possible economies of scale because the Fund had not commenced operations, but took note of the Fund’s proposed advisory fee schedule.
