                    700 South Federal Highway
                    Suite 300












                    Boca Raton, FL 33432

                    Dear Sirs:

                         As counsel for Ivy Fund (the "Trust"), we are
          familiar with
                    the registration of the Trust under the Investment
          Company Act of
                    1940 (File No. 811-1028) and the registration statement
          relating
                    to its shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares")
          under the
                    Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-17613).  We also
          have examined
                    such other records of the Trust, agreements, documents
          and
                    instruments as we deemed appropriate.

                         Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that
          the Shares
                    sold at the public offering price and delivered by the
          Trust
                    against receipt of the net asset value of the Shares
          have been
                    duly and validly authorized and issued as fully paid
          and
                    nonassessable Shares of the Trust.

                         We consent to the filing of this opinion in
          connection with
                    the Notice for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,
          pursuant
                    to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
          on behalf
                    of the Trust with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission.

                                                  Very truly yours,


                                                  /s/ DECHERT PRICE &
          RHOADS
