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
