net assets. Without expense reimbursements (and fees paid
indirectly, if applicable) Management Fees would have been
1.00% and Total Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Rule

Expense and income ratios have been annualized for periods of less than one
year. Beginning December 31, 1996, portfolio turnover rates have not been
annualized for periods of less than one year. Total returns do not reflect sales
charges, and are not annualized for periods of less than one year (unless
otherwise noted). In addition, for fiscal years beginning on or after September
1, 1995, registered investment companies are required to disclose average
commission rates per share for security trades on which commissions are charged.
This amount may vary from period to period and fund to fund depending on the mix
of trades executed in various markets where trading practices and commission
rate structures may differ.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Each Fund has its own investment objective and policies, which are described
below. Each Fund's investment objective is fundamental and may not be changed
without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund.
Except for a Fund's investment objective and those investment restrictions
specifically identified as fundamental, all investment policies and practices
described in this Prospectus and in the SAI are non-fundamental, and may be
changed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust ("Trustees") without shareholder
approval. There can be no assurance that a Fund's objective will be met. The
different types of securities and investment techniques used by the Funds
involve varying degrees of risk. For information about the particular risks
associated with each type of investment, see "Risk Factors and Investment
Techniques," below, and the SAI.

Whenever an investment objective, policy or restriction of a Fund described
in this Prospectus or in the SAI states a maximum percentage of assets that may
be invested in a security or other asset or describes a policy regarding quality
standards, that percentage limitation or standard will, unless otherwise
indicated, apply to the Fund only at the time a transaction takes place. Thus,
for example, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at the time of investment,
a later increase or decrease in the percentage that results from circumstances
not involving any affirmative action by the Fund will not be considered a
violation.

IVY ASIA PACIFIC FUND: The Fund's principal investment objective is long-
term growth. Consideration of current income is secondary to this principal
objective. Under normal circumstances the Fund invests at least 65% of its total
assets in securities issued in Asia-Pacific countries, which for purposes of
this Prospectus are defined to include China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Taiwan,
Thailand and Vietnam. Securities of Asia-Pacific issuers include: (a) securities
of companies organized under the laws of an Asia-Pacific country or for which
the principal securities trading market is in the Asia-Pacific region; (b)
securities that are issued or guaranteed by the government of an Asia-Pacific
country, its agencies or instrumentalities, political subdivisions or the
country's central bank; (c) securities of a company, wherever organized, where
at least 50% of the company's non-current assets, capitalization, gross revenue
or profit in any one of the two most recent fiscal years represents (directly or
indirectly through subsidiaries) assets or activities located in the
Asia-Pacific region; and (d) any of the preceding types of securities in the
form of depository shares.

The Fund may participate in markets throughout the Asia-Pacific region, and
it is expected that the Fund will be invested at all times in at least three
Asia-Pacific countries. The Fund does not expect to concentrate its investments
in any particular industry. See Appendix C to the SAI for further information
about the economic characteristics of certain Asia-Pacific countries.

The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in investment-grade debt
securities of government or corporate issuers in emerging market countries,
investment-grade equity and debt securities of issuers in developed countries
(including the United States), warrants, and cash or cash equivalents, such as
bank obligations (including certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances),
commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase agreements. For temporary
defensive purposes, the Fund may invest without limit in such instruments. The
Fund may also invest up to 5% of its net assets in zero coupon bonds, and in
debt securities rated Ba or below by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. ("Moody's")
or BB or below by Standard and Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), or if unrated, are
considered by IMI to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as "high
yield" or "junk" bonds).

For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may borrow up to one-third of
the value of its total assets from banks, but may not purchase securities at any
time during which the value of the Fund's outstanding loans exceeds 10% of the
value of the Fund's assets. The Fund may engage in foreign currency exchange
transactions and enter into forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund may
also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other investment companies that
invest in securities issued in Asia-Pacific countries, and (ii) up to 15% of its
net assets in restricted and other illiquid securities.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on securities and stock indices,
provided the premium paid for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with respect to up to 10% of
the value of its net assets, and may write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being purchased upon the
exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in stock index and foreign currency futures contracts, provided
that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such contracts does not exceed 15% of its
total assets.

IVY CANADA FUND: Ivy Canada Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities of Canadian companies. Canada is one of
the world's leading industrial countries and a major exporter of agricultural
products. The country is rich in natural resources such as zinc, uranium,
nickel, gold, silver, aluminum, iron and copper, and forest covers over 44% of
land areas, making Canada a leading world producer of newsprint. Canada is also
a major producer of hydroelectricity, oil and gas.

As a fundamental policy, the Fund normally invests at least 65% of its total
assets in Canadian equity securities (i.e., common and preferred stock,
securities convertible into common stock and common stock purchase warrants)
listed on Canadian stock exchanges or traded over-the-counter in Canada.
Canadian issuers are companies (i) organized under the laws of Canada, (ii) for
which the principal securities trading market is in Canada, (iii) which derive
at least 50% of their revenues or profits from goods produced or sold,
investments made or services performed in Canada, or (iv) which have at least
50% of their assets situated in Canada. The balance of the Fund's assets
ordinarily are invested in (i) bills and bonds of the Canadian Government and
the governments of the provinces or municipalities of Canada, (ii) high quality
notes and debentures of Canadian companies (i.e., those rated Aaa or Aa by
Moody's or AAA or AA by S&P, or if unrated, judged to be of comparable quality
by Mackenzie Financial Corporation ("MFC"), the Fund's Advisor), (iii) foreign
securities (including sponsored or unsponsored American Depository Receipts
("ADRs"), Global Depository Receipts ("GDRs"), American Depository Shares
("ADSs") and Global Depository Shares ("GDSs")), (iv) U.S. Government
securities, (v) equity securities and investment-grade debt securities (i.e.,
those rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher by S&P, or if unrated, are
considered by MFC to be of comparable quality) of U.S. companies, and (vi) zero
coupon bonds that meet these credit quality standards.

The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" or firm commitment
basis, engage in foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into forward
foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total
assets in other investment companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in
restricted and other illiquid securities.

13
<PAGE> 14

or municipalities of Canada (or their agencies or instrumentalities), (ii)
finance company and corporate commercial paper (and other short-term corporate
obligations rated Prime-1 by Moody's or A or better by S&P, or if unrated,
considered by MFC to be of comparable quality), (iii) obligations of banks
(i.e., certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances)
considered creditworthy by MFC under guidelines approved by the Trustees, and
(iv) repurchase agreements with broker-dealers and banks. For temporary or
emergency purposes, the Fund may also borrow up to 10% of the value of its total
assets from banks.

IVY CHINA REGION FUND: Ivy China Region Fund's principal investment
objective is long-term capital growth. Consideration of current income is
secondary to this principal objective. The Fund seeks to meet its objective
primarily by investing in the equity securities of companies that are expected
to benefit from the economic development and growth of China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan. A significant percentage of the Fund's assets may also be invested in
the securities markets of South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia
and the Philippines (collectively, with China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the "China
Region").

The Fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in "Greater China
growth companies," defined as companies (a) that are organized in or for which
the principal securities trading markets are the China Region; (b) that have at
least 50% of their assets in one or more China Region countries or derive at
least 50% of their gross sales revenues or profits from providing goods or
services to or from within one or more China Region countries; or (c) that have
at least 35% of their assets in China, Hong Kong or Taiwan, derive at least 35%
of their gross sales revenues or profits from providing goods or services to or
from within these three countries, or have significant manufacturing or other
operations in these countries. IMI's determination as to whether a company
qualifies as a Greater China growth company is based primarily on information
contained in financial statements, reports, analyses and other pertinent
information (some of which may be obtained directly from the company). The Fund
may invest 25% or more of its total assets in the securities of issuers located
in any one China Region country, and currently expects to invest more than 50%
of its total assets in Hong Kong. See Appendix C to the SAI for further
information about the economic characteristics of certain China Region
countries.

The balance of the Fund's assets ordinarily are invested in (i) certain
investment-grade debt securities and (ii) the equity securities of "China Region
associated companies," which are companies that do not meet the definition of a
Greater China growth company, but whose current or expected performance, based
on certain identified factors (such as the growth trends in the location of a
company's assets and the sources of its revenues and profits), is judged by IMI
to be strongly associated with the China Region. The investment-grade debt
securities in which the Fund may invest include (a) obligations of the U.S.
Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, (b) obligations of U.S. banks
and other banks organized and existing under the laws of Hong Kong, Taiwan or
countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development ("OECD"), and (c) obligations denominated in any currency issued by
international development institutions and Hong Kong, Taiwan and OECD member
governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, as well as repurchase
agreements with respect to any of the foregoing instruments. The Fund may also
invest in zero coupon bonds, and corporate bonds rated Baa or higher by Moody's
or BBB or higher by S&P (or if unrated, are considered by IMI to be of
comparable quality).

The Fund may invest less than 35% of its net assets in debt securities rated
Ba or below by Moody's or BB or below by S&P, or, if unrated, considered by IMI
to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk"
bonds). The Fund will not invest in debt securities rated less than C by either
Moody's or S&P. As of December 31, 1996, the Fund had 0.90% of its total assets
invested in low-rated debt securities.

The Fund may invest in sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs,
warrants, purchase securities on a "when-issued" or firm commitment basis,
engage in foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. The Fund may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets
in other investment companies, and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in
restricted and other illiquid securities.

For temporary defensive purposes and during periods when IMI believes that
circumstances warrant, the Fund may reduce its position in Greater China growth
companies and Greater China associated companies and increase its investment in
cash and liquid debt securities, such as U.S. Government securities, bank
obligations, commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase agreements. For
temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may also borrow up to 10% of the value
of its total assets from banks.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on securities and stock indices,
provided the premium paid for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with respect to up to 10% of
the value of its net assets, and may write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being purchased upon the
exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in stock index futures contracts, provided that the Fund's
equivalent exposure in such contracts does not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY GLOBAL FUND: The Fund seeks long-term capital growth through a flexible
policy of investing in stocks and debt obligations of companies and governments
of any nation. Any income realized will be incidental. Under normal conditions,
the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in the common stock of
companies throughout the world, with at least three different countries (one of
which may be the United States) represented in the Fund's overall portfolio
holdings. Although the Fund generally invests in common stock, it may also
invest in preferred stocks, sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs,
and investment-grade debt securities (i.e., those rated Baa or higher by Moody's
or BBB or higher by S&P, or if unrated, are considered by IMI to be of
comparable quality), including corporate bonds, notes, debentures, convertible
bonds and zero coupon bonds.

The Fund may invest less than 35% of its net assets in debt securities rated
Ba or below by Moody's or BB or below by S&P, or if unrated, considered by IMI
to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk"
bonds). The Fund will not invest in debt securities rated less than C by either
Moody's or S&P. As of December 31, 1996, the Fund had 0.94% of its total assets
invested in low-rated debt securities.

The Fund may invest in equity real estate investment trusts, warrants,
purchase securities on a "when-issued" or firm commitment basis, engage in
foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into forward foreign currency
contracts. The Fund may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other
investment companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in restricted and
other illiquid securities.

For temporary defensive purposes and during periods when IMI believes that
circumstances warrant, the Fund may invest without limit in U.S. Government
securities, obligations issued by domestic or foreign banks (including
certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances), and domestic
or foreign commercial paper (which, if issued by a corporation, must be rated
Prime-1 by Moody's or A-1 by S&P, or if unrated has been issued by a company
that at the time of investment has an outstanding debt issue rated Aaa

14
<PAGE> 15

or Aa by Moody's or AAA or AA by S&P). The Fund may also enter into repurchase
agreements, and, for temporary or emergency purposes, may borrow up to 10% of
the value of its total assets from banks.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on stock indices, provided the
premium paid for such options does not exceed 10% of the Fund's net assets. The
Fund may also sell covered put options with respect to up to 50% of the value of
its net assets, and my write covered call options so long as not more than 20%
of the Fund's net assets is subject to being purchased upon the exercise of the
calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in transactions in (and
options on) stock index and foreign currency futures contracts, provided that
the Fund's equivalent exposure in such contracts does not exceed 20% of its
total assets.

IVY GLOBAL NATURAL RESOURCES FUND: The Fund's investment objective is
long-term growth. Any income realized will be incidental. Under normal
conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in the equity
securities of companies throughout the world that own, explore or develop
natural resources and other basic commodities, or supply goods and services to
such companies. Under this investment policy, at least three different countries
(one of which may be the United States) will be represented in the Fund's
overall portfolio holdings. "Natural resources" generally include precious
metals (such as gold, silver and platinum), ferrous and nonferrous metals (such
as iron, aluminum and copper), strategic metals (such as uranium and titanium),
coal, oil, natural gases, timber, undeveloped real property and agricultural
commodities. Although the Fund generally invests in common stock, it may also
invest in preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock and
sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs. The Fund may also invest
directly in precious metals and other physical commodities.

IMI believes that certain political and economic changes in the global
environment in recent years have had and will continue to have a profound effect
on global supply and demand of natural resources, and that rising demand from
developing markets and new sources of supply should create attractive investment
opportunities. In selecting the Fund's investments, IMI will seek to identify
securities of companies that, in IMI's opinion, appear to be undervalued
relative to the value of the companies' natural resource holdings.

For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest without limit in cash
or cash equivalents, such as bank obligations (including certificates of deposit
and bankers' acceptances), commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase
agreements. For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may borrow up to
one-third of the value of its total assets from banks, but may not purchase
securities at any time during which the value of the Fund's outstanding loans
exceeds 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets. The Fund may engage in
foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into forward foreign currency
contracts. The Fund may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other
investment companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in restricted and
other illiquid securities.

For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in transactions in (and
options on) foreign currency futures contracts, provided that the Fund's
equivalent exposure in such contracts does not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY GLOBAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FUND: The Fund's principal investment
objective is long-term capital growth. Any income realized will be incidental.
Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets
in the common stock of companies that are expected to benefit from the
development, advancement and use of science and technology. Under this
investment policy, at least three different countries (one of which may be the
United States) will be represented in the Fund's overall portfolio holdings.
Industries likely to be represented in the Fund's portfolio include computers
and peripheral products, software, electronic components and systems,
telecommunications, media and information services, pharmaceuticals, hospital
supply and medical devices, biotechnology, environmental services, chemicals and
synthetic materials, and defense and aerospace. The Fund may also invest in
companies that are expected to benefit indirectly from the commercialization of
technological and scientific advances. In recent years, rapid advances in these
industries have stimulated unprecedented growth. While this is no guarantee of
future performance, IMI believes that these industries offer substantial
opportunities for long-term capital appreciation.

Although the Fund generally invests in common stock, it may also invest in
preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, sponsored or
unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs and investment-grade debt securities
(i.e., those rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher by S&P, or if
unrated, are considered by IMI to be of comparable quality), including corporate
bonds, notes, debentures, convertible bonds and zero-coupon bonds. The Fund may
also invest up to 5% of its net assets in debt securities that are rated Ba or
below by Moody's or BB or below by S&P, or if unrated, are considered by IMI to
be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds).
The Fund will not invest in debt securities rated less than C by either Moody's
or S&P. (A description of the ratings assigned by Moody's and S&P is contained
in Appendix A to the SAI).

The Fund may purchase put and call options on stock indices and on
individual securities, provided the premium paid for such options does not
exceed 10% of the value of the Fund's net assets. The Fund may also sell covered
put options with respect to up to 50% of the value of its net assets, and may
sell covered call options so long as not more than 20% of the Fund's net assets
is subject to being purchased upon the exercise of the calls. For hedging
purposes only, the Fund may engage in transactions in (and options on) stock
index and foreign currency futures contracts, provided that the Fund's
equivalent exposure in such contracts does not exceed 20% of the value of its
total assets.

IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND II: The Fund's principal objective is long-term
capital growth primarily through investment in equity securities. Consideration
of current income is secondary to this principal objective. It is anticipated
that at least 65% of the Fund's total assets will be invested in common stocks
(and securities convertible into common stocks) principally traded in European,
Pacific Basin and Latin American markets. Under this investment policy, at least
three different countries (other than the United States) will be represented in
the Fund's overall portfolio holdings. For temporary defensive pur-

15
<PAGE> 16

poses, the Fund may also invest in equity securities principally traded in U.S.
markets. IMI, the Fund's investment manager, invests the Fund's assets in a
variety of economic sectors, industry segments and individual securities in
order to reduce the effects of price volatility in any one area and to enable
shareholders to participate in markets that do not necessarily move in concert
with U.S. markets. IMI seeks to identify rapidly expanding foreign economies,
and then searches out growing industries and corporations, focusing on companies
with established records. Individual securities are selected based on value
indicators, such as a low price-earnings ratio, and are reviewed for fundamental
financial strength. Companies in which investments are made will generally have
at least $1 billion in capitalization and a solid history of operations.

When economic or market conditions warrants, the Fund may invest without
limit in U.S. Government securities, investment-grade debt securities (i.e.,
those rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher by S&P, or if unrated,
considered by IMI to be of comparable quality), preferred stocks, sponsored or
unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs, warrants, or cash or cash equivalents
such as bank obligations (including certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances), commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase agreements. For
temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may borrow up to 10% of the value of
its total assets from banks. The Fund may also purchase securities on a
"when-issued" or firm commitment basis, and may engage in currency exchange
transactions and enter into forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund may
also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other investment companies and
(ii) up to 15% of its net assets in restricted and other illiquid securities.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on securities and stock indices,
provided the premium paid for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with respect to up to 10% of
the value of its net assets, and may write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being purchased upon the
exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in (and options on) stock index and foreign currency futures
contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such contracts does
not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND: Sales of shares of this Fund to new investors have
been suspended. See "How to Buy Shares."

The Fund's principal objective is long-term capital growth primarily through
investment in equity securities. Consideration of current income is secondary to
this principal objective. It is anticipated that at least 65% of the Fund's
total assets will be invested in common stocks (and securities convertible into
common stocks) principally traded in European, Pacific Basin and Latin American
markets. Under this investment policy, at least three different countries (other
than the United States) will be represented in the Fund's overall portfolio
holdings. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may also invest in equity
securities principally traded in U.S. markets. The Fund's subadviser, Northern
Cross Investments Limited ("Northern Cross"), invests the Fund's assets in a
variety of economic sectors, industry segments and individual securities in
order to reduce the effects of price volatility in any one area and to enable
shareholders to participate in markets that do not necessarily move in concert
with U.S. markets. Northern Cross seeks to identify rapidly expanding foreign
economies, and then searches out growing industries and corporations, focusing
on companies with established records. Individual securities are selected based
on value indicators, such as a low price-earnings ratio, and are reviewed for
fundamental financial strength. Companies in which investments are made will
generally have at least $1 billion in capitalization and a solid history of
operations.

When economic or market conditions warrant, the Fund may invest without
limit in U.S. Government securities, investment-grade debt securities (i.e.,
those rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher by S&P, or if unrated, are
considered by Northern Cross to be of comparable quality), preferred stocks,
sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs, warrants, or cash or cash
equivalents such as bank obligations (including certificates of deposit and
bankers' acceptances), commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase
agreements. For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may borrow up to 10%
of the value of its total assets from banks. The Fund may also purchase
securities on a "when-issued" or firm commitment basis, and may engage in
foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into forward foreign currency
contracts. The Fund may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other
investment companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in restricted and
other illiquid securities.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on securities and stock indices,
provided the premium paid for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with respect to up to 10% of
the value of its net assets, and may write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being purchased upon the
exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in (and options on) stock index and foreign currency futures
contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such contracts does
not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY INTERNATIONAL SMALL COMPANIES FUND: The Fund's principal investment
objective is long-term growth primarily through investment in foreign equity
securities. Consideration of current income is secondary to this principal
objective. Under normal circumstances the Fund invests at least 65% of its total
assets in common and preferred stocks (and securities convertible into common
stocks) of foreign issuers having total market capitalization of less than $1
billion. Under this investment policy, at least three different countries (other
than the United States) will be represented in the Fund's overall portfolio
holdings. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may also invest in equity
securities principally traded in the United States. The Fund will invest its
assets in a variety of economic sectors, industry segments and individual
securities in order to reduce the effects of price volatility in any area and to
enable shareholders to participate in markets that do not necessarily move in
concert with the U.S. market. The factors that IMI considers in determining the
appropriate distribution of investments among various countries and regions
include prospects for relative economic growth, expected levels of inflation,
government policies influencing business conditions and the outlook for currency
relationships.

In selecting the Fund's investments, IMI will seek to identify securities
that are attractively priced relative to their intrinsic value. The intrinsic
value of a particular security is analyzed by reference to characteristics such
as relative price/earnings ratio, dividend yield and other relevant factors
(such as applicable financial, tax, social and political conditions).

When economic or market conditions warrant, the Fund may invest without
limit in U.S. Government securities, investment-grade debt securities, zero
coupon bonds, preferred stocks, warrants, or cash or cash equivalents such as
bank obligations (including certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances),
commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase agreements. The Fund may also
invest up to 5% of its net assets in debt securities rated Ba or below by
Moody's or BB or below by S&P, or if unrated, are considered by IMI to be of
comparable quality (commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds).

For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may borrow up to one-third of
the value of its total assets from banks, but may not purchase securities

16
<PAGE> 17

at any time during which the value of the Fund's outstanding loans exceeds 10%
of the value of the Fund's assets. The Fund may engage in foreign currency
exchange transactions and enter into forward foreign currency contracts. The
Fund may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other investment
companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in restricted and other illiquid
securities.

IVY LATIN AMERICA STRATEGY FUND: The Fund's principal investment objective
is long-term capital growth. Consideration of current income is secondary to
this principal objective. Under normal conditions the Fund invests at least 65%
of its total assets in securities issued in Latin America, which for purposes of
this Prospectus is defined as Mexico, Central America, South America and the
Spanish-speaking islands of the Caribbean. Securities of Latin American issuers
include (a) securities of companies organized under the laws of a Latin American
country or for which the principal securities trading market is in Latin
America; (b) securities that are issued or guaranteed by the government of a
Latin American country, its agencies or instrumentalities, political
subdivisions or the country's central bank; (c) securities of a company,
wherever organized, where at least 50% of the company's non-current assets,
capitalization, gross revenue or profit in any one of the two most recent fiscal
years represents (directly or indirectly through subsidiaries) assets or
activities located in Latin America; or (d) any of the preceding types of
securities in the form of depository shares. The Fund may participate in markets
throughout Latin America, and it is expected that the Fund will be invested at
all times in at least three countries. Under present conditions, the Fund
expects to focus its investments in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and
Venezuela, which IMI believes are the most developed capital markets in Latin
America. The Fund does not expect to concentrate its investments in any
particular industry.

The Fund's equity investments consist of common stock, preferred stock
(either convertible or non-convertible), sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs,
ADSs and GDSs, and warrants (any of which may be purchased through rights). The
Fund's equity securities may be listed on securities exchanges, traded
over-the-counter, or have no organized market.

The Fund may invest in debt securities (including zero coupon bonds) when
IMI anticipates that the potential for capital appreciation from debt securities
is likely to equal or exceed that of equity securities (e.g., a favorable change
in relative foreign exchange rates, interest rate levels or the creditworthiness
of issuers). These include debt securities issued by Latin American Governments
("Sovereign Debt"). Most of the debt securities in which the Fund may invest are
not rated, and those that are rated are expected to be below investment-grade
(i.e., rated Ba or below by Moody's or BB or below by S&P, or considered by IMI
to be of comparable quality), and are commonly referred to as "high yield" or
"junk" bonds. As of December 31, 1996, the Fund had 0.00% of its total assets
invested in low-rated debt securities.

To meet redemptions, or while the Fund is anticipating investments in Latin
American securities, the Fund may hold cash or cash equivalents such as bank
obligations (including certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances),
commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase agreements. For temporary
defensive or emergency purposes, the Fund may (i) invest without limit in such
instruments, and (ii) borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets
from banks (but may not purchase securities at any time during which the value
of the Fund's outstanding loans exceeds 10% of the value of the Fund's total
assets).

The Fund may invest in warrants, purchase securities on a "when-issued" or
firm commitment basis, engage in foreign currency exchange transactions and
enter into forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also invest (i) up
to 10% of its total assets in other investment companies, and (ii) up to 15% of
its net assets in restricted and other illiquid securities. The Fund will treat
any Latin American securities that are subject to restrictions on repatriation
for more than seven days, as well as any securities issued in connection with
Latin American debt conversion programs that are restricted to remittance of
invested capital or profits, as illiquid securities for purposes of this
limitation.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on securities and stock indices,
provided the premium paid for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with respect to up to 10% of
the value of its net assets, and my write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being purchased upon the
exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in (and options on) stock index and foreign currency futures
contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such contracts does
not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY NEW CENTURY FUND: The Fund's principal objective is long-term growth.
Consideration of current income is secondary to this principal objective. In
pursuing its objective, the Fund invests primarily in the equity securities of
companies that IMI believes will benefit from the economic development and
growth of emerging markets. The Fund considers countries having emerging markets
to be those that (i) are generally considered to be "developing" or "emerging"
by the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation, or (ii) are
classified by the United Nations (or otherwise regarded by their authorities) as
"emerging." Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its
total assets in equity securities (including common and preferred stocks,
convertible debt obligations, warrants, options, rights, and sponsored or
unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs that are listed on stock exchanges or
traded over-the-counter) of "Emerging Market growth companies," which are
defined as companies (a) for which the principal securities trading market is an
emerging market (as defined above), (b) that (alone or on a consolidated basis)
derives 50% or more of its total revenue either from goods, sales or services in
emerging markets, or (c) that are organized under the laws of (and with a
principal office in) an emerging market country.

The Fund normally invests its assets in the securities of issuers located in
at least three emerging market countries, and may invest 25% or more of its
total assets in the securities of issuers located in any one country. IMI's
determination as to whether a company qualifies as a Emerging Markets growth
company is based primarily on information contained in financial statements,
reports, analyses and other pertinent information (some of which may be obtained
directly from the company).

commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase agreements. For temporary
defensive purposes, the Fund may invest without limit in such instruments. The
Fund may also invest in zero coupon bonds and purchase securities on a "when-
issued" or firm commitment basis.

The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in debt
securities rated Ba or lower by Moody's or BB or lower by S&P, or if unrated,
are considered by IMI to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as "high
yield" or "junk" bonds). As of December 31, 1996, the Fund had 0.27% of its
total assets invested in low-rated debt securities.

For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may borrow up to one-third of
the value of its total assets from banks, but may not purchase securities at any
time during which the value of the Fund's outstanding loans exceeds 10% of the
value of the Fund's assets. The Fund may engage in foreign currency exchange
transactions and enter into forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund may
also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other investment companies, and
(ii) up to 15% of its net assets in restricted and other illiquid securities.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on securities and stock indices,
provided the premium paid for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with respect to up to 10% of
the value of its net assets, and my write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being purchased upon the
exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in (and options on) stock index and foreign currency futures
contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such contracts does
not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY PAN-EUROPE FUND: The Fund's principal investment objective is long-term
capital growth. Consideration of current income is secondary to this principal
objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing
primarily in the equity securities of companies domiciled or otherwise doing
business (as described below) in European countries. Under normal circumstances,
the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in the equity securities
of "European companies," which include any issuer (a) that is organized under
the laws of a European country; (b) that derives 50% or more of its total
revenues from goods produced or sold, investments made or services performed in
Europe; or (c) for which the principal trading market is in Europe. The Fund may
also invest up to 35% of its total assets in the equity securities of issuers
domiciled outside of Europe. The equity securities in which the Fund may invest
include common stock, preferred stock and common stock equivalents such as
warrants and convertible debt securities. The Fund may also invest in sponsored
or unsponsored ADRs, European Depository Receipts ("EDRs"), GDRs, ADSs, European
Depository Shares ("EDSs") and GDSs. The Fund does not expect to concentrate its
investments in any particular industry.

The Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in debt securities, but will
not invest more than 20% of its net assets in debt securities rated Ba or below
by Moody's or BB or below by S&P (commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk"
bonds), or if unrated, are considered by IMI to be of comparable quality. The
Fund may also purchase securities on a "when-issued" or firm commitment basis,
engage in foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets
in zero coupon bonds.

For temporary defensive purposes or when IMI believes that circumstances
warrant, the Fund may invest without limit in U.S. Government securities,
investment-grade debt securities (i.e., those rated Baa or higher by Moody's or
BBB or higher by S&P, or if unrated, are considered by IMI to be of comparable
quality), warrants, and cash or cash equivalents such as domestic or foreign
bank obligations (including certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers'
acceptances), short-term notes, repurchase agreements, and domestic or foreign
commercial paper (which, if issued by a corporation, must be rated Prime-1 by
Moody's or A-1 by S&P, or if unrated has been issued by a company that at the
time of investment has an outstanding debt issue rated Aaa or Aa by Moody's or
AAA or AA by S&P).

The Fund may purchase put and call options on securities and stock indices,
provided the premium paid for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with respect to up to 10% of
the value of its net assets, and may write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's nets assets is subject to being purchased upon the
exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in (and options on) stock index and foreign currency futures
contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such contracts does
not exceed 15% of its total assets.

RISK FACTORS AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO IVY ASIA PACIFIC FUND: Certain Asia-
Pacific countries in which the Fund may invest are developing countries, and may
be in the initial stages of their industrialization cycle. The economic
structures of developing countries generally are less diverse and mature than in
the United States, and their political systems may be relatively unstable.
Historically, markets of developing countries have been more volatile than the
markets of developed countries, yet such markets often have provided higher
rates of return to investors.

Investing in securities of issuers in Asia-Pacific countries involves
certain considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of
United States companies, including (i) restrictions on foreign investment and on
repatriation of capital invested in Asian countries, (ii) currency fluctuations,
(iii) the cost of converting foreign currency into United States dollars, (iv)
potential price volatility and lesser liquidity of shares traded on Asia-Pacific
country securities markets and (v) political and economic risks, including the
risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and the risk of war.

Certain Asia-Pacific countries may be more vulnerable to the ebb and flow of
international trade and to trade barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory
measures. Investments in countries such as China that have recently opened their
capital markets and that appear to have relaxed their central planning
requirement, as well as in countries that have privatized some of their state-
owned industries, should be regarded as speculative.

The settlement period of securities transactions in foreign markets in
general may be longer than in domestic markets, and such delays may be of
particular concern in developing countries. For example, the possibility of
political upheaval and the dependence on foreign economic assistance may be
greater in developing countries than in developed countries, either one of which
may increase settlement delays.

18
<PAGE> 19

Securities exchanges, issuers and broker-dealers in some Asia-Pacific
countries are subject to less regulatory scrutiny than in the United States. In
addition, due to the limited size of the markets for Asia-Pacific securities,
the prices for such securities may be more vulnerable to adverse publicity,
investors' perceptions or traders' positions or strategies, which could cause a
decrease not only in the value but also in the liquidity of the Fund's
investments.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO IVY CANADA FUND: The economy of Canada is
strongly influenced by the activities of companies involved in the production
and processing of natural resources, particularly those involved in the energy
industry, industrial materials (e.g., chemicals, base metals, timber and paper)
and agricultural materials (e.g., grain cereals). The securities of companies in
the energy industry are subject to changes in value and dividend yield, which
depend, to a large extent, on the price and supply of energy fuels. Rapid price
and supply fluctuations may be caused by events relating to international
politics, energy conservation and the success of exploration projects.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO IVY CHINA REGION FUND: Investors should
realize that China Region countries may be subject to a greater degree of
economic, political and social instability than is the case in the United States
or other developed countries. Among the factors causing this instability are (i)
authoritarian governments or military involvement in political and economic
decision making, (ii) popular unrest associated with demands for improved
political, economic and social conditions, (iii) internal insurgencies, (iv)
hostile relations with neighboring countries, (v) ethnic, religious and racial
disaffection, and (vi) changes in trading status, any one of which could disrupt
the principal financial markets in which the Fund invests and adversely affect
the value of its assets. In addition, several China Region countries have had
hostile relations with neighboring nations. For example, China continues to
claim sovereignty over Taiwan, and is scheduled to assume sovereignty over Hong
Kong in 1997.

China Region countries tend to be heavily dependent on international trade,
as a result of which their markets are highly sensitive to protective trade
barriers and the economic conditions of their principal trading partners (i.e.,
the United States, Japan and Western European countries). Protectionist trade
legislation, reduction of foreign investment in China Region economies and
general declines in the international securities markets could have a
significant adverse effect on the China Region securities markets. In addition,
certain China Region countries have in the past failed to recognize private
property rights and have at times nationalized or expropriated the assets of
private companies. There is a heightened risk in these countries that such
adverse actions might be repeated.

To take advantage of potential growth opportunities, the Fund might have
significant investments in companies with relatively small market
capitalization. Securities of smaller companies may be subject to more abrupt or
erratic market movements than the securities of larger more established
companies, both because they tend to be traded in lower volume and because the
companies are subject to greater business risk. In addition, to the extent that
any China Region country experiences rapid increases in its money supply or
investment in equity securities for speculative purposes, the equity securities
traded in such countries may trade at price-earning multiples higher than those
of comparable companies trading on securities markets in the United States,
which may not be sustainable. Finally, restrictions on foreign investment exists
to varying degrees in some China Region countries. Where such restrictions
apply, investments may be limited and may increase the Fund's expenses. The SAI
contains additional information concerning the risks associated with investing
in the China Region.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO IVY GLOBAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FUND, IVY
INTERNATIONAL SMALL COMPANIES FUND AND IVY NEW CENTURY FUND: In light of Ivy New
Century Fund's concentration in equity securities of Emerging Market growth
companies (as defined above), an investment in the Fund should be considered
speculative. In addition, both Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund and Ivy
International Small Companies Fund are expected to have significant investments
in companies with relatively small market capitalization. Securities of smaller
companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than the
securities of larger more established companies, both because they tend to be
traded in lower volume and because the companies are subject to greater business
risk.

Because Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund normally focuses its
investments in science and technology-related industries, the value of the
Fund's shares may be more susceptible to factors affecting those industries and
to greater market fluctuation than a fund whose portfolio holdings are more
diverse. For example, rapid advances in these industries tend to render existing
products obsolete. In addition, many companies in which the Fund is likely to
invest are subject to government regulations and approval of their products and
services, which may affect their overall profitability and cause their stock
prices to be more volatile. In selecting the Fund's portfolio of investments,
IMI will consider each company's ability to create new products, secure any
necessary regulatory approvals, and generate sufficient customer demand. A
company's failure to perform well in any one of these areas, however, could
cause its stock to decline sharply.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO IVY GLOBAL NATURAL RESOURCES FUND: Since
the Fund normally invests a substantial portion of its assets in securities of
companies engaged in natural resources activities, the Fund may be subject to
greater risks and market fluctuations than funds with more diversified
portfolios. The value of the Fund's securities will fluctuate in response to
market conditions generally, and will be particularly sensitive to the markets
for those natural resources in which a particular issuer is involved. The values
of natural resources may also fluctuate directly with respect to real and
perceived inflationary trends and various political developments. In addition,
many natural resource companies have been subject to significant costs
associated with compliance with environmental and other safety regulations. In
selecting the Fund's portfolio of investments, IMI will consider each company's
ability to create new products, secure any necessary regulatory approvals, and
generate sufficient customer demand. A company's failure to perform well in any
one of these areas, however, could cause its stock to decline sharply.

The Fund's investments in precious metals (such as gold) and other physical
commodities are subject to special risk considerations, including substantial
price fluctuations over short periods of time. On the other hand, investments in
precious metals coins or bullion could help to moderate fluctuations in the
value of the Fund's portfolio, since the prices of precious metals have at times
tended not to fluctuate as widely as shares of issuers engaged in the mining of
precious metals. Because precious metals and other commodities do not generate
investment income, however, the return on such investments will be derived
solely from the appreciation and depreciation on such investments. The Fund may
also incur storage and other costs relating to its investments in precious
metals and other commodities, which may, under

certain circumstances, exceed custodial and brokerage costs associated with
investments in other types of securities. When the Fund purchases a precious
metal, IMI currently intends that it will only be in a form that is readily
marketable.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO IVY LATIN AMERICA STRATEGY FUND: The
securities markets of Latin American countries are substantially smaller, less
developed, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in
the United States. This could cause prices to be erratic for reasons apart from
factors that affect the quality of the securities. For example, limited market
size may cause prices to be unduly influenced by traders who control large
positions. Adverse publicity and investor perception, whether or not based on
fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and liquidity of portfolio
securities, especially in these markets.

For many years, most Latin American countries have experienced substantial
(and in some periods extremely high) rates of inflation, which have had and may
continue to have very negative effects on the economies and securities markets
of these countries. In addition, certain Latin American countries are among the
largest debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments, and some have
declared moratoria on the payment of principal and/or interest on external debt.
Accordingly, the Sovereign Debt instruments in which the Fund may invest involve
a high degree of risk and should be considered equivalent in quality to debt
securities rated below investment-grade by Moody's and S&P.

The Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the
1940 Act, and therefore may invest, with respect to 50% of its total assets,
more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer.
Consequently, the performance of a single issuer in which the Fund has invested
may have a more significant effect on the overall performance of the Fund than
if the Fund were a diversified company.

BANK OBLIGATIONS: The bank obligations in which the Funds may invest
include certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, and other short-term debt
obligations. Investments in certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances are
limited to obligations of (i) banks having total assets in excess of $1 billion,
and (ii) other banks if the principal amount of the obligation is fully insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Investments in
certificates of deposit of savings associations are limited to obligations of
Federal or state-chartered institutions whose total assets exceed $1 billion and
whose deposits are insured by the FDIC.

BORROWING: A Fund may only borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, as
described above. Borrowing may exaggerate the effect on a Fund's net asset value
of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities.
Money borrowed will be subject to interest costs (which may include commitment
fees and/or the cost of maintaining minimum average balances).

COMMERCIAL PAPER: Commercial paper represents short-term unsecured
promissory notes issued in bearer form by bank holding companies, corporations,
and finance companies. Each Fund's investments in commercial paper are limited
to obligations rated Prime-1 by Moody's or A-1 by S&P, or if not rated, are
issued by companies having an outstanding debt issue currently rated Aaa or Aa
by Moody's or AAA or AA by S&P.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES: The convertible securities in which the Funds may
invest include corporate bonds, notes, debentures and other securities
convertible into common stocks. Because convertible securities can be converted
into equity securities, their values will normally vary in some proportion with
those of the underlying equity securities. Convertible securities usually
provide a higher yield than the underlying equity, however, so that the price
decline of a convertible security may sometimes be less substantial than that of
the underlying equity security.

DEBT SECURITIES, IN GENERAL: Investment in debt securities, including
municipal securities, involves both interest rate and credit risk. Generally,
the value of debt instruments rises and falls inversely with fluctuations in
interest rates. As interest rates decline, the value of debt securities
generally increases. Conversely, rising interest rates tend to cause the value
of debt securities to decrease. Bonds with longer maturities generally are more
volatile than bonds with shorter maturities. The market value of debt securities
also varies according to the relative financial condition of the issuer. In
general, lower-quality bonds offer higher yields due to the increased risk that
the issuer will be unable to meet its obligations on interest or principal
payments at the time called for by the debt instrument.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES: U.S. Government securities are obligations of,
or guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Such
securities include: (1) direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as
Treasury bills, notes, and bonds) and (2) Federal agency obligations guaranteed
as to principal and interest by the U.S. Treasury (such as GNMA certificates,
which are mortgage-backed securities). When such securities are held to
maturity, the payment of principal and interest is unconditionally guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, and thus they are of the highest possible credit quality.
U.S. Government securities that are not held to maturity are subject to
variations in market value caused by fluctuations in interest rates.

Mortgage-backed securities are securities representing part ownership of a
pool of mortgage loans. Although the mortgage loans in the pool will have
maturities of up to 30 years, the actual average life of the loans typically
will be substantially less because the mortgages will be subject to principal
amortization and may be prepaid prior to maturity. In periods of falling
interest rates, the rate of prepayment tends to increase, thereby shortening the
actual average life of the security. Conversely, rising interest rates tend to
decrease the rate of prepayment, thereby lengthening the security's actual
average life (and increasing the security's price volatility). Since it is not
possible to predict accurately the average life of a particular pool, and
because prepayments are reinvested at current rates, the market value of
mortgage-backed securities may decline during periods of declining interest
rates.

INVESTMENT-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES: Bonds rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by S&P
are judged to be of the best quality (i.e., capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong). Bonds rated Aa/AA are considered to be of high
quality (i.e., capacity to pay interest and repay principal is very strong and
differs from the highest rated issues only to a small degree). Bonds rated A are
viewed as having many favorable investment attributes, but elements may be
present that suggest a susceptibility to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
Bonds rated Baa/BBB (considered by Moody's to be "medium grade" obligations) are
considered to have an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal, but
certain protective elements may be lacking (i.e., such bonds lack outstanding
investment characteristics and have some speculative characteristics).

LOW-RATED DEBT SECURITIES: Securities rated lower than Baa or BBB, and
comparable unrated securities (commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk"
bonds), are considered by major credit-rating organizations to have
predominately speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity
to pay interest and repay principal. Investors in those Funds that invest in
these securities, should be willing to accept the special risks associated with
these securities.

20
<PAGE> 21

While high yield debt securities are likely to have some quality and
protective characteristics, these qualities are largely outweighed by the risk
of exposure to adverse conditions and other uncertainties. Accordingly,
investments in such securities, while generally providing for greater income and
potential opportunity for gain than investments in higher-rated securities, also
entail greater risk (including the possibility of default or bankruptcy of the
issuer of such securities) and generally involve greater price volatility than
securities in higher rating categories. IMI seeks to reduce risk through
diversification (including investments in foreign securities), credit analysis
and attention to current developments and trends in both the economy and
financial markets. Should the rating of a portfolio security be downgraded, IMI
will determine whether it is in the affected Fund's best interest to retain or
dispose of the security (unless the security is downgraded below the rating of
C, in which case IMI most likely would dispose of the security based on then
existing market conditions). For additional information regarding the risks
associated with investing in high yield bonds, see the SAI (and, in particular,
Appendix A, which contains a more complete description of the ratings assigned
by Moody's and S&P).

FOREIGN SECURITIES: The foreign securities in which the Funds invest may
include non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities, Eurodollar securities, sponsored
or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs, and debt securities issued, assumed or
guaranteed by foreign governments (or political subdivisions or
instrumentalities thereof). Investors should consider carefully the special
risks that arise in connection with investing in securities issued by companies
and governments of foreign nations, which are in addition to those risks that
are associated with the Funds' investments, generally.

In many foreign countries, there is less regulation of business and industry
practices, stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the United
States. For example, foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform
accounting and financial reporting standards, and foreign securities
transactions may be subject to higher brokerage costs. There also tends to be
less publicly available information about issuers in foreign countries, and
foreign securities markets of many of the countries in which the Funds may
invest may be smaller, less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than
those in the United States. Generally, price fluctuations in the Funds' foreign
security holdings are likely to be high relative to those of securities issued
in the United States.

Other risks include the possibility of expropriation, nationalization or
confiscatory taxation, foreign exchange controls (which may include suspension
of the ability to transfer currency from a given country), difficulties in
pricing, default in foreign government securities, high rates of inflation,
difficulties in enforcing foreign judgments, political or social instability, or
other developments that could adversely affect the Funds' foreign investments.

The risks of investing in foreign securities (described above) are likely to
be intensified in the case of investments in issuers domiciled or doing
substantial business in countries with emerging or developing economies
("emerging markets"). For example, countries with emerging markets may have
relatively unstable governments and therefore be susceptible to sudden adverse
government action (such as nationalization of businesses, restrictions on
foreign ownership or prohibitions against repatriation of assets). Security
prices in emerging markets can also be significantly more volatile than in the
more developed nations of the world, and communications between the U.S. and
emerging market countries may be unreliable, increasing the risk of delayed
settlements of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for portfolio
securities. Delayed settlements could cause a Fund to miss attractive investment
opportunities or impair its ability to dispose of portfolio securities,
resulting in a loss if the value of the securities subsequently declines. In
addition, many emerging markets have experienced and continue to experience
especially high rates of inflation. In certain countries, inflation has at times
accelerated rapidly to hyperinflationary levels, creating a negative interest
rate environment and sharply eroding the value of outstanding financial assets
in those countries.

In recent years, many emerging market countries around the world have
undergone political changes that have reduced government's role in economic and
personal affairs and have stimulated investment and growth. In order for these
emerging economies to continue to expand and develop industry, infrastructure
and currency reserves, continued influx of capital is essential. Historically,
there is a strong direct correlation between economic growth and stock market
returns. While this is no guarantee of future performance, IMI believes that
investment opportunities (particularly in the energy, environmental services,
natural resources, basic materials, power, telecommunications and transportation
industries) may result within the evolving economies of emerging market
countries from which the Funds and their shareholders will benefit. IMI believes
that similar investment opportunities will be created for companies involved in
providing consumer goods and services (e.g., food, beverages, autos, housing,
tourism and leisure and merchandising).

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS: A Fund usually effects its currency
exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing
in the foreign exchange market. However, some price spread on currency exchange
(e.g., to cover service charges) is usually incurred when a Fund converts assets
from one currency to another. A Fund may also be affected unfavorably by
fluctuations in the relative rates of exchange between the currencies of
different nations.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS: A forward foreign currency contract
involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date
at a predetermined price. Although these contracts are intended to minimize the
risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies, they also
tend to limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the
currencies increase. In addition, there may be an imperfect correlation between
a Fund's portfolio holdings of securities denominated in a particular currency
and forward contracts entered into by the Fund, which may prevent the Fund from
achieving the intended hedge or expose the Fund to the risk of currency exchange
loss.

OPTIONS AND FUTURES TRANSACTIONS: The Funds may use various techniques to
increase or decrease their exposure to changing security prices, currency
exchange rates, commodity prices, or other factors that affect the value of the
Funds' securities. These techniques may involve derivative transactions such as
purchasing put and call options, selling put and call options, and engaging in
transactions in foreign currency futures, stock index futures and related
options.

A Fund may invest in options on securities in accordance with its stated
investment objective and policies (see above). A put option is a short-term
contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for a premium, the
right to sell the underlying security or currency to the seller of the option at
a specified price during the term of the option. A call option is a short-term
contract that gives the purchaser the right to buy the underlying security or
currency from the seller of the option at a specified price during the term of
the option. An option on a stock index gives the purchaser the right to receive
from the seller cash equal to the difference between the closing price of the
index and the exercise price of the option.

A Fund may also enter into futures transactions in accordance with its
stated investment objective and policies. An interest rate futures contract is
an

21
<PAGE> 22

agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified debt security at a set
price on a future date. A foreign currency futures contract is an agreement to
buy or sell a specified amount of a foreign currency for a set price on a future
date. A stock index futures contract is an agreement to take or make delivery of
an amount of cash based on the difference between the value of the index at the
beginning and at the end of the contract period.

Investors should be aware that the risks associated with the use of options
and futures are considerable. Options and futures transactions generally involve
a small investment of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed, and
therefore could result in a significant loss to a Fund if IMI judges market
conditions incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with
the Fund's investments. A Fund may also experience a significant loss if it is
unable to close a particular position due to the lack of a liquid secondary
market. For further information regarding the use of options and futures
transactions and any associated risks, see the SAI.

PRECIOUS METALS AND OTHER PHYSICAL COMMODITIES: Investors in Ivy Global
Natural Resources Fund should be aware that commodities trading is generally
considered a speculative activity. For example, prices of precious metals are
affected by factors such as cyclical economic conditions, political events and
monetary policies of various countries. Accordingly, markets for precious metals
may at times be volatile and there may be sharp price fluctuations even during
periods when prices overall are rising. Investments in physical commodities may
also present practical problems of delivery, storage and maintenance, possible
illiquidity, the unavailability of accurate market valuations and increased
expenses.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS: A real estate investment trust ("REIT") is a
corporation, trust or association that invests in real estate mortgages or
equities for the benefit of its investors. REITs are dependent upon management
skill, may not be diversified and are subject to the risks of financing
projects. Equity REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults
by borrowers, self-liquidation and the possibility of failing to qualify for
tax-free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and to maintain exemption under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). By investing in REITs indirectly through a
Fund, a shareholder will bear not only his/her proportionate share of the
expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly, similar expenses of the REITs.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Repurchase agreements are agreements under which a
Fund buys a money market instrument and obtains a simultaneous commitment from
the seller to repurchase the instrument at a specified time and agreed-upon
yield. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks or
broker-dealers deemed to be creditworthy by IMI under guidelines approved by the
Board of Trustees. A Fund could experience a delay in obtaining direct ownership
of the underlying collateral, and might incur a loss if the value of the
security should decline.

RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES: An "illiquid security" is an asset that
may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven
days at approximately the value at which a Fund has valued the security on its
books. A "restricted security" is a security that cannot be offered to the
public for sale without first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and is considered to be illiquid until such filing takes place.
There may be a lapse of time between a Fund's decision to sell a restricted or
illiquid security and the point at which the Fund is permitted or able to sell
the security. If adverse market conditions were to develop during that period,
the Fund might obtain a price less favorable than the price that prevailed when
it decided to sell. In addition, issuers of restricted and other illiquid
securities may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection
requirements that would apply if their securities were publicly traded.
Securities whose proceeds are subject to limitations on repatriation of
principal or profits for more than seven days, and those for which market
quotations are not readily available, are considered illiquid for purposes of
the percentage limitations that apply to each Fund's investment in illiquid
securities.

SHARES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES: As a shareholder of an investment
company, a Fund will bear its ratable share of the investment company's expenses
(including management fees, in the case of a management investment company).

SMALL COMPANIES: Investing in smaller company stocks involves certain
special considerations and risks that are not usually associated with investing
in larger, more established companies. For example, the securities of smaller
companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements, because
they tend to be thinly traded and are subject to a greater degree to changes in
the issuer's earnings and prospects. Small companies also tend to have limited
product lines, markets or financial resources. Transaction costs in smaller
company stocks also may be higher than those of larger companies.

WARRANTS: The holder of a warrant has the right to purchase a given number
of shares of a particular issuer at a specified price until expiration of the
warrant. Such investments can provide a greater potential for profit or loss
than an equivalent investment in the underlying security, and are considered
speculative investments. For example, if a warrant were not exercised by the
date of its expiration, a Fund would lose its entire investment.

"WHEN-ISSUED" SECURITIES AND FIRM COMMITMENTS: Purchasing securities on a
"when-issued" or firm commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of
the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date.

ZERO COUPON BONDS: Zero coupon bonds are debt obligations issued without
any requirement for the periodic payment of interest, and are issued at a
significant discount from face value. Since the interest on such bonds is, in
effect, compounded, they are subject to greater market value fluctuations in
response to changing interest rates than debt securities that distribute income
regularly. In addition, for Federal income tax purposes a Fund generally
recognizes and is required to distribute income generated by zero coupon bonds
currently in the amount of the unpaid accrued interest, even though the actual
income will not yet have been received by the Fund.

ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

Each Fund, other than Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, is organized as a
separate, diversified portfolio of the Trust, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on December 21, 1983. Ivy
Latin America Strategy Fund is organized as a non-diversified portfolio (see
"Special Considerations Related to Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund"). The
business and affairs of each Fund are managed under the direction of the
Trustees. Information about the Trustees, as well as the Trust's executive
officers, may be found in the SAI. The Trust has an unlimited number of
authorized shares of beneficial interest, and currently has 18 separate
portfolios. Each Fund has three classes of shares, designated as Class A, Class
B and Class C. Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund II,
Ivy International Fund and Ivy International Small Companies Fund each has a
fourth class of shares designated as Class I. Shares of each Fund entitle their
holders to one vote per share (with proportionate voting for fractional shares).
The shares of each class represent an interest in the same portfolio of Fund
investments. Each class of shares, except for Class I, has a separate Rule 12b-1
distribution plan and bears different distribution fees. In addition, Class I
shares

22
<PAGE> 23

of Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy
International Fund and Ivy International Small Companies Fund bear lower
administrative service and transfer agency fees than each such Fund's Class A,
Class B and Class C shares. Shares of each class have equal rights as to voting,
redemption, dividends and liquidation but have exclusive voting rights with
respect to their Rule 12b-1 distribution plans.

The Trust employs IMI to provide business management services to the Funds,
and investment advisory services to all of the Funds other than Ivy Canada Fund
and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund (which are advised by MFC). MIMI provides
administrative and accounting services. Ivy Mackenzie Distributors, Inc.
("IMDI") distributes the Funds' shares, and Ivy Mackenzie Services Corp.
("IMSC") provides transfer agency and shareholder-related services for the
Funds. IMI, IMDI and IMSC are wholly-owned subsidiaries of MIMI. As of March 31,
1997, IMI and MIMI had approximately $2.70 billion and $145 million,
respectively, in assets under management. MIMI is a subsidiary of MFC, which has
been an investment counsel and mutual fund manager in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
for more than 25 years.

INVESTMENT MANAGER

IVY CANADA FUND AND IVY GLOBAL NATURAL RESOURCES FUND: For IMI's business
management services, each Fund pays IMI a fee, which is accrued daily and paid
monthly, based on the Fund's average net assets at an annual rate of 0.50%. Each
Fund pays MFC a monthly fee for advisory services, which is accrued daily and
paid monthly, based on the Fund's average net assets at an annual rate of 0.35%
and 0.50% for Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund,
respectively.

IVY ASIA PACIFIC FUND, IVY CHINA REGION FUND, IVY GLOBAL SCIENCE &
TECHNOLOGY FUND, IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND II, IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND, IVY
INTERNATIONAL SMALL COMPANIES FUND, IVY LATIN AMERICA STRATEGY FUND, IVY NEW
CENTURY FUND AND IVY PAN-EUROPE FUND: For IMI's business management and
investment advisory services, each Fund pays IMI a fee, which is accrued daily
and paid monthly, based on the Fund's average net assets at an annual rate of
1.00%.

IMI voluntarily limits the total operating expenses for each Fund except Ivy
International Fund (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees, interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to an
annual rate of 1.95% (1.50%, in the case of Ivy International Fund II) of the
Funds' average net assets, which may lower each Fund's expenses and increase its
total return. This voluntary expense limitation may be terminated or revised at
any time, at which point the affected Fund's expenses may increase and its total
return may be reduced.

Northern Cross currently serves as subadviser for Ivy International Fund,
for which IMI pays a fee at a rate equal, on an annual basis, to 0.60% of the
Fund's average net assets. From July 1, 1990 through March 31, 1993 and from
November 18, 1985 through June 30, 1990, Boston Overseas Investors, Inc. and
Marsh & Cunningham, Inc., respectively, provided subadvisory services to the
Fund, based on the same investment strategy and program currently employed by
Northern Cross.

IVY GLOBAL FUND: For IMI's business management and investment advisory
services, the Fund pays IMI a fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly,
based on the Fund's average net assets at an annual rate of 1.00% of the first
$500 million in net assets and 0.75% on net assets over $500 million. For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the effective management fee paid to IMI
was 1.00% of the Fund's average net assets.

Currently, IMI voluntarily limits the Fund's total operating expenses
(excluding Rule 12b-1 fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, litigation,
indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to an annual rate of 1.95% of the
Fund's average net assets, which may lower the Fund's expenses and increase its
total return. This voluntary expense limitation may be terminated or revised at
any time, at which point the Fund's expenses may increase and its total return
may be reduced.

ALL FUNDS: IMI pays all expenses that it incurs in rendering management
services to the Funds. Each Fund bears its own operational costs. General
expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable as belonging to a
particular series of the Trust (or a particular class thereof) are allocated
among and charged to each series based on its relative net asset size. Expenses
that are attributable to a particular Fund (or class thereof) will be borne by
that Fund (or class) directly. The fees payable to IMI are subject to any
reimbursement or fee waiver to which IMI may agree. The investment management
fees paid by the Funds are higher than those charged by many funds that invest
primarily in U.S. securities, but not necessarily higher than the fees charged
to funds with investment objectives similar to those of the Funds.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: The following individuals have responsibilities for
management of the Funds:

- James W. Broadfoot, an Executive Vice President and Chief Investment
Officer of IMI and Vice President of the Trust, is the portfolio manager
for Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund. Prior to joining the
organization in 1990, Mr. Broadfoot was a principal in an investment
counsel firm specializing in emerging growth companies. Mr. Broadfoot has
24 years of professional investment experience, and is a Chartered
Financial Analyst. He has an MBA from The Wharton School of the University
of Pennsylvania.

- Hakan Castegren, President of Northern Cross, has been the portfolio
manager for Ivy International Fund since its inception in 1986 and has 36
years of professional investment experience. He earned his MBA from the
Stockholm School of Economics.

- Michael G. Landry is the President and a Director of IMI and MIMI and the
Chairman and a Trustee of the Trust. Mr. Landry has headed these
organizations since 1987. Previously he was a Senior Vice President and
portfolio manager with Templeton International. He has over 20 years of
professional investment experience. He has a degree in economics from
Carleton University. Mr. Landry is the portfolio manager for Ivy Global
Fund and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund, co-manages Ivy International Small Companies
Fund and manages Ivy New Century Fund in conjunction with the Ivy
international research team.

- Frederick Sturm, a Senior Vice President of MFC, is the portfolio manager
of Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund. Mr. Sturm joined
MFC in 1983 and has 11 years of professional investment experience. In
that time, Mr. Sturm has established a performance record in the natural
resource sector. Mr. Sturm, a Chartered Financial Analyst, is a graduate
of the University of Toronto where he earned a degree in commerce and
finance.

- Barbara Trebbi is a Senior Vice President of IMI and managing director of
the Ivy international research team. In conjunction with the Ivy emerging
markets research team she is the portfolio manager for Ivy Asia Pacific
Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy International Fund II and Ivy Latin
America Strategy Fund. Ms. Trebbi also co-manages Ivy International Small
Companies Fund. Ms. Trebbi joined the organiza-

23
<PAGE> 24

tion in 1988 and has nine years of professional investment experience. She
is a Chartered Financial Analyst and holds a Graduate Diploma from the
London School of Economics. In addition to Ms. Trebbi, the Ivy
international research team is comprised of Justin Lu, who is a graduate
of Shanghai International University; Oleg Makhorine, located in Prague,
who is a graduate of the Economics University of Prague; Moira McLachlan,
who earned her degree in international business from the University of
South Carolina; and Johnason Tang, located in Shanghai, who is a graduate
of Shanghai International University.

IMI'S INVESTMENT PROCESS: Each of IMI's international equity portfolio
managers is supported by a team of research analysts, who are responsible for
providing objective information on regional and country-specific economic and
political developments and monitoring individual companies. Members of the
research analyst team that supports IMI's international equity portfolio
managers are located in the U.S. at Ivy Mackenzie's south Florida office, as
well as in Asia and Europe. IMI's analysts use a variety of research sources,
such as brokerage reports, economic and financial news services, equity
databases and company reports. Established relationships with more than thirty
research firms provide IMI's analysts and portfolio managers access to
information on the various factors that may influence a particular investment
decision. These firms range from large investment banks with global coverage to
local research houses. In many cases, IMI's investment professionals also
conduct primary research by meeting with company management, touring facilities,
and speaking with local research analysts, economists and strategists. Such
primary research is considered particularly important in emerging market
countries.

Research efforts by IMI focus on determining opportunities that fall within
the IMI's long-term, value-oriented approach to investing. The investment
decision making process starts with a "top-down" view of a particular country
and the long-term outlook for given industries within that country. Company
selection generally is based on a "bottom-up" analysis of certain value measures
(e.g., earnings, cash flow and growth potential) that are monitored in a
proprietary database in which risk-adjusted company valuations across countries
and industries are compared. Ultimate investment decisions take into account the
fund's investment objective, diversification requirements and risk tolerance
level. While current earnings are considered important, investment decisions
most often are based on earnings estimates over a five-year period. Stock
selection typically is concentrated in the cheapest 20% of the universe and sell
recommendations normally are generated when valuations reach the top 20% of the
universe.

FUND ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING

MIMI provides various administrative services for the Funds, such as
maintaining the registration of Fund shares under state "Blue Sky" laws, and
assisting with the preparation of Federal and state income tax returns,
financial statements and periodic reports to shareholders. MIMI also assists the
Trust's legal counsel with the filing of registration statements, proxies and
other required filings under Federal and state law. Under this arrangement, the
average net assets attributable to each Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C
shares are subject to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate
of 0.10%. The average net assets attributable to Class I shares are subject to a
fee at the annual rate of 0.01%.

MIMI also provides certain accounting and pricing services for the Funds
(see "Fund Accounting Services" in the SAI for more information).

TRANSFER AGENT

IMSC is the transfer and dividend-paying agent for the Funds, and also
provides certain shareholder-related services. Certain broker-dealers that
maintain shareholder accounts with the Funds through an omnibus account provide
transfer agent and other shareholder-related services that would otherwise be
provided by IMSC if the individual accounts that comprise the omnibus account
were opened by their beneficial owners directly (see "Investment Advisory and
Other Services" in the SAI).

ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

CLASS A SHARES: Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge,
unless the amount you purchase is $500,000 or more (see "Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge -- Class A Shares"). Certain purchases qualify for a reduced
initial sales charge (see "Qualifying for a Reduced Sales Charge"). Class A
shares (for all Funds except Ivy Canada Fund) are subject to ongoing service
fees at an annual rate of 0.25% of a Fund's average net assets attributable to
its Class A shares. Class A shares of Ivy Canada Fund are subject to ongoing
service and distribution fees at a combined annual rate of up to 0.40% of the
Fund's average net assets attributable to its Class A shares. If you do not
specify on your Account Application which class of shares you are purchasing, it
will be assumed that you are investing in Class A shares.

CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES: Class B and Class C shares are not subject to
an initial sales charge, but are subject to a CDSC if redeemed within six years
of purchase, in the case of Class B shares, or within one year of purchase, in
the case of Class C shares. Both classes of shares are subject to ongoing
service and distribution fees at a combined annual rate of up to 1.00% of a
Fund's average net assets attributable to its Class B or Class C shares. The
ongoing distribution fee will cause these shares to have a higher expense ratio
than that of Class A shares. Also, to the extent that a Fund pays any dividends,
these higher expenses will result in lower dividends than those paid on Class A
shares.

CLASS I SHARES: Class I shares are offered by Ivy Global Science &
Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy International Fund and Ivy
International Small Companies Fund only to institutions and certain individuals,
and are not subject to an initial sales charge or a CDSC, nor to ongoing service
or distribution fees. Class I shares also bear lower fees than Class A, Class B
and Class C shares.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING AN ALTERNATIVE: The multi-class structure
of the Funds allows you to choose the most beneficial way to buy shares given
the size of your purchase and the length of time you expect to hold your shares.
You should consider whether, during the anticipated life of your Fund
investment, the accumulated service and distribution fees on Class B and Class C
shares would be less than the initial sales charge and accumulated service fees
on Class A shares purchased at the same time, and to what extent this
differential would be offset by the Class A shares' potentially higher yield.
Also, sales personnel may receive different compensation depending on which
class of shares they are selling. The tables under the caption "Annual Fund
Operating Expenses" at the beginning of this Prospectus contain additional
information that is designed to assist you in making this determination.

DIVIDENDS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS: Distributions you receive from a Fund are reinvested in
additional shares of the same class of a Fund unless you elect to receive them
in cash. Dividends ordinarily will vary from one class to another.

24
<PAGE> 25

Each Fund intends to make a distribution for each fiscal year of any net
investment income and net realized short-term capital gain, as well as any net
long-term capital gain realized during the year. An additional distribution may
be made of net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and net
realized long-term capital gains to comply with the calendar year distribution
requirement under the excise tax provisions of Section 4982 of the Code.

TAXATION: The following discussion is intended for general information
only. You should consult with your tax adviser as to the tax consequences of an
investment in a particular Fund, including the status of distributions from the
Fund under applicable state or local law.

Each Fund intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company
under the Code. To qualify, each Fund must meet certain income, distribution and
diversification requirements. In any year in which a Fund qualifies as a
regulated investment company and timely distributes all of its taxable income,
the Fund generally will not pay any Federal income or excise tax.

Dividends paid out of a Fund's investment company taxable income (including
dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains) will be taxable to a
shareholder as ordinary income. If a portion of a Fund's income consists of
dividends paid by U.S. corporations, a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund
may be eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction. Distributions of
net capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term
capital losses), if any, are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of
how long the shareholder has held a Fund's shares. Dividends are taxable to
shareholders in the same manner whether received in cash or reinvested in
additional Fund shares.

A distribution will be treated as paid on December 31 of the current
calendar year if it is declared by a Fund in October, November or December with
a record date in such a month and paid by the Fund during January of the
following calendar year. Such distributions will be taxable to shareholders in
the calendar year in which the distributions are declared, rather than the
calendar year in which the distributions are received.

Investments in securities that are issued at a discount will result each
year in income to a Fund equal to a portion of the excess of the face value of
the securities over their issue price, even though the Fund receives no cash
interest payments from the securities.

Income and gains received by a Fund from sources within foreign countries
may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes. Unless a Fund is eligible
to and elects to "pass through" to its shareholders the amount of foreign income
and similar taxes paid by the Fund, these taxes will reduce the Fund's
investment company taxable income, and distributions of investment company
taxable income received from the Fund will be treated as U.S. source income.

Any gain or loss realized by a shareholder upon the sale or other
disposition of shares of a Fund, or upon receipt of a distribution in complete
liquidation of the Fund, generally will be a capital gain or loss which will be
long-term or short-term, generally depending upon the shareholder's holding
period for the shares.

A Fund may be required to withhold U.S. Federal income tax at the rate of
31% of all taxable distributions payable to shareholders who fail to provide the
Fund with their correct taxpayer identification number or to make required
certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") that they are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not
an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against the
shareholder's U.S. Federal income tax liability.

Fund distributions may be subject to state, local and foreign taxes.
Distributions of a Fund which are derived from interest on obligations of the
U.S. Government and certain of its agencies, authorities and instrumentalities
may be exempt from state and local taxes in certain states. Further information
relating to tax consequences is contained in the SAI.

PERFORMANCE DATA

Performance information (e.g., "total return" and "yield") is computed
separately for each class of Fund shares in accordance with formulas prescribed
by the SEC. Performance information for each class may be compared in reports
and promotional literature to indices such as the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock
Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Morgan Stanley Capital International
World Index. Advertisements, sales literature and communications to shareholders
may also contain statements of a Fund's current yield, various expressions of
total return and current distribution rate. Performance figures will vary in
part because of the different expense structures of the Funds' different
classes. ALL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION IS HISTORICAL AND IS NOT INTENDED TO
SUGGEST FUTURE RESULTS.

"Total return" is the change in value of an investment in a Fund for a
specified period, and assumes the reinvestment of all distributions and
imposition of the maximum applicable sales charge. "Average annual total return"
represents the average annual compound rate of return of an investment in a
particular class of Fund shares assuming the investment is held for one year,
five years and ten years as of the end of the most recent calendar quarter.
Where a Fund provides total return quotations for other periods, or based on
investments at various sales charge levels or at net asset value, "total return"
is based on the total of all income and capital gains paid to (and reinvested
by) shareholders, plus (or minus) the change in the value of the original
investment expressed as a percentage of the purchase price.

"Current yield" reflects the income per share earned by a Fund's portfolio
investments, and is calculated by dividing the Fund's net investment income per
share during a recent 30-day period by the maximum public offering price on the
last day of that period and then annualizing the result. Dividends or
distributions that were paid to a Fund's shareholders are reflected in the
"current distribution rate," which is computed by dividing the total amount of
dividends per share paid by a Fund during the preceding 12 months by the Fund's
current maximum offering price (which includes any applicable sales charge). The
"current distribution rate" will differ from the "current yield" computation
because it may include distributions to shareholders from sources other than
dividends and interest, short term capital gain and net equalization credits and
will be calculated over a different period of time.

PRIOR PERFORMANCE OF IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND II'S PORTFOLIO MANAGER: Provided
below are performance figures for the international sub-portfolio of Ivy Growth
Fund (the "Sub-Portfolio"). Ivy Growth Fund is a separate series of the Trust.
The Sub-Portfolio has been managed since November 1, 1993 by Barbara Trebbi, one
of the Ivy Growth Fund managers, and has comprised 20% - 25% of Ivy Growth
Fund's portfolio. The performance figures presented below are unaudited, and are
intended to illustrate the past performance of the Sub-Portfolio's investment
policies and strategies, which are substantially similar to those that will be
employed with respect to Ivy International Fund II. In comparing an equity fund
that has an international sub-portfolio to a purely international fund,
investors should bear in mind that custody, brokerage and certain other expenses
of a purely international fund will ordinarily be higher. Accordingly, the
returns shown below would be adversely affected if Ivy Growth Fund were a purely
international fund. The performance information provided below is historical and
relates exclusively to the Sub-Portfolio. As

25
<PAGE> 26

such, it is not indicative of the future performance of Ivy International Fund
II, or of the past or future performance of IMI.

The following table summarizes the calculation of average annual return for
the Sub-Portfolio compared with the performance of the MSCI-EAFE Index and the
Lipper Average for international funds for the periods indicated.

* Average annual return reflects the average change in portfolio value, during
the periods indicated, including reinvestment of dividends, is net of a
pro-rata allocation of Class A share Total Fund Operating Expenses, and does
not include a sales charge. Returns of Class B and Class C shares were lower
than Class A shares based on differences in their respective sales loads and
fees.

** The MSCI-EAFE Index is an unmanaged index of common stocks that is
considered to be generally representative of the performance of issuers
located in Europe, Australia and the Far East. The Index is adjusted to
reflect reinvestment of dividends, but does not reflect fees, brokerage
commissions, or other expenses of investing.

*** The Lipper Average for international funds represents the performance of
the average international fund as measured by Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc.

**** The date on which Ms. Trebbi commenced managing the Sub-Portfolio.

Although the investment objectives and policies of Ivy International Fund II
are similar to those of Ivy International Fund, a separate portfolio of the
Trust, Ivy International Fund II's portfolio securities are not expected to be
the same as those of Ivy International Fund for a variety of reasons, including
that these funds have different portfolio managers. Over time, the portfolio
managers' investment decisions on behalf of these funds will result in different
securities being selected for these funds. Consequently, investors should not
expect the performance of the Ivy International Fund II to be identical to that
of the Sub-Portfolio or Ivy International Fund.

HOW TO BUY SHARES

Effective April 18, 1997 (the "Effective Date"), Ivy International Fund
suspended the offer of its shares to new investors. Shares of Ivy International
Fund are available for purchase only by existing shareholders of Ivy
International Fund. In addition, a prospective investor who communicated his or
her definite indication of interest in purchasing Ivy International Fund shares
within 30 days prior to the Effective Date, to either IMDI or through his or her
investment professional, may purchase Ivy International Fund shares within three
months following the Effective Date, provided the investor meets the minimum
initial investment requirement of Ivy International Fund. As of the Effective
Date, expressions of interest are no longer accepted by IMDI. Once a
shareholder's account has been liquidated, the shareholder may not invest in Ivy
International Fund at a later date.

HOW YOUR PURCHASE PRICE IS DETERMINED

Your purchase price for Class A shares of a Fund is the net asset value
("NAV") per share plus a sales charge, which may be reduced or eliminated in
certain circumstances. The purchase price per share is known as the public
offering price. Your purchase price for Class B, Class C and Class I shares is
the NAV per share.

26
<PAGE> 27

Share purchases will be made at the next determined price after your
purchase order is received. The price is effective for orders received by IMSC
or by your registered securities dealer prior to the time of the determination
of the NAV. Any orders received after the time of the determination of the NAV
will be entered at the next calculated price.

Orders placed with a securities dealer before the NAV is determined that are
transmitted through the facilities of the National Securities Clearing
Corporation on the same day are confirmed at that day's price. Any loss
resulting from the dealer's failure to submit an order by the deadline will be
borne by that dealer.

You will receive an account statement after any purchase, exchange or full
liquidation. Statements related to reinvestment of dividends, capital gains,
automatic investment plans (see the SAI for further explanation) and/or
systematic withdrawal plans will be sent quarterly.

HOW EACH FUND VALUES ITS SHARES

The NAV per share is the value of one share. The NAV is determined for each
Class of shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on each day the
Exchange is open by dividing the value of a Fund's net assets attributable to a
class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding, adjusted to
the nearest cent. These procedures are described more completely in the SAI.

The Trustees have established procedures to value a Fund's securities in
order to determine the NAV. The value of a foreign security is determined as of
the normal close of trading on the foreign exchange on which it is traded or as
of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, if that is
earlier. If no sale is reported at that time, the average between the current
bid and asked price is used. All other securities for which OTC market
quotations are readily available are valued at the average between the current
bid and asked price. Securities and other assets for which market prices are not
readily available are valued at fair value, as determined by IMI and approved in
good faith by the Board. Money market instruments of a Fund are valued at
amortized cost.

INITIAL SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE -- CLASS A SHARES

Shares are purchased at a public offering price equal to their NAV per share
plus a sales charge, as set forth below.

* A CDSC may apply to the redemption of Class A shares that are purchased
without an initial sales charge. See "Contingent Deferred Sales Charge --
Class A Shares."

Sales charges are not applied to any dividends or capital gains that are
reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. An investor may be charged a
transaction fee for Class A and Class I shares purchased or redeemed at NAV
through a broker or agent other than IMDI.

With respect to purchases of $500,000 or more through dealers or agents,
IMDI may, at the time of purchase, pay such dealers or agents from its own
resources a commission to compensate such dealers or agents for their
distribution assistance in connection with such purchases. The commission would
be computed as set forth below:

</TABLE>

Dealers who receive 90% or more of the sales charge may be deemed to be
"underwriters" as that term is defined in the 1933 Act.

IMDI compensates participating brokers who sell Class A shares through the
initial sales charge. IMDI retains that portion of the initial sales charge that
is not reallowed to the dealers, which it may use to distribute a Fund's Class A
shares. Pursuant to separate distribution plans for the Funds' Class A, Class B
and Class C shares, IMDI bears various promotional and sales related expenses,
including the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses to persons other than
shareholders. Pursuant to the Funds' Class A distribution plans, IMDI currently
pays a continuing service fee to qualified dealers at an annual rate of 0.25% of
qualified investments.

IMDI may from time to time pay a bonus or other incentive to dealers (other
than IMDI) which employ a registered representative who sells a minimum dollar
amount of the shares of a Fund and/or other funds distributed by IMDI during a
specified period of time. This bonus or other incentive may take the form of
payment for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred in connection with
trips taken by qualifying registered representatives and members of their
families to places within or without the U.S. or other bonuses such as gift
certificates or the cash equivalent of such bonus or incentive.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE -- CLASS A SHARES

Purchases of $500,000 or more of Class A shares will be made at NAV with no
initial sales charge, but if the shares are redeemed within 24 months (12
months, in the case of Ivy International Fund) after the end of the calendar
month in which the purchase was made (the CDSC period), a CDSC of 1.00% will be
imposed (0.50%, in the case of Ivy International Fund).

The charge will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the current
market value or the original purchase cost of the Class A shares redeemed.
Accordingly, no CDSC will be imposed on increases in account value above the
initial purchase price, including any dividends or capital gains which have been
reinvested in additional Class A shares.

In determining whether a CDSC applies to a redemption, the calculation will
be determined in a manner that results in the lowest possible rate being
charged. Therefore, it will be assumed that the redemption is first made from
any shares in your account not subject to the CDSC. The CDSC is waived in

27
<PAGE> 28

certain circumstances. See the discussion below under the caption "Waiver of
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."

WAIVER OF CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: The CDSC is waived for (i)
redemptions in connection with distributions not exceeding 12% annually of the
initial account balance (i.e., the value of the shareholder's Class A Fund
account at the time of the initial distribution) (ia) following retirement under
a tax qualified retirement plan, or (ib) upon attaining age 59 1/2 in the case
of an IRA, a custodial account pursuant to section 403(b)(7) of the Code or a
Keogh Plan; (ii) redemption resulting from tax-free return of an excess
contribution to an IRA; or (iii) any partial or complete redemption following
the death or disability (as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code) of a
shareholder from an account in which the deceased or disabled is named, provided
that the redemption is requested within one year of death or disability. IMDI
may require documentation prior to waiver of the CDSC.

Class A shareholders may exchange their Class A shares subject to a CDSC
("outstanding Class A shares") for Class A shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie
fund ("new Class A shares") on the basis of the relative NAV per Class A share,
without the payment of any CDSC that would be due upon the redemption of the
outstanding Class A shares. The original CDSC rate that would have been charged
if the outstanding Class A shares were redeemed will carry over to the new Class
A shares received in the exchange, and will be charged accordingly at the time
of redemption.

QUALIFYING FOR A REDUCED SALES CHARGE

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION (ROA): Rights of Accumulation ("ROA") is calculated
by determining the current market value of all Class A shares in all Ivy or
Mackenzie fund accounts (except Ivy Money Market Fund) owned by you, your
spouse, and your children under 21 years of age. ROA is also applicable to
accounts under a trustee or other single fiduciary (including retirement
accounts qualified under Section 401 of the Code). The current market value of
each of your accounts as described above is added together and then added to
your current purchase amount. If the combined total is equal or greater than a
breakpoint amount for a Fund, then you qualify for the reduced sales charge. To
reduce or eliminate the sales charge, you must complete Section 4C of the
Account Application.

LETTER OF INTENT (LOI): A Letter of Intent ("LOI") is a non-binding
agreement that states your intention to invest in additional Class A shares,
within a thirteen month period after the initial purchase, an amount equal to a
breakpoint amount for a Fund. The LOI may be backdated up to 90 days. To sign an
LOI, please complete Section 4C of the Account Application.

Should the LOI not be fulfilled within the thirteen month period, your
account will be debited for the difference between the full sales charge that
applies for the amount actually invested and the reduced sales charge actually
paid on purchases placed under the terms of the LOI.

PURCHASES OF CLASS A SHARES AT NET ASSET VALUE: Investors who held Ivy Fund
shares as of December 31, 1991, or who held shares of certain funds that were
reorganized into an Ivy or Mackenzie fund, may be exempt from sales charges on
the purchase of Class A shares of any of the Ivy or Mackenzie funds. If you
believe you may be eligible for such an exemption, please contact IMSC at
1-800-235-3322 for additional information.

Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without an initial sales charge or
CDSC by (i) officers and Trustees of the Trust (and their relatives), (ii)
officers, directors, employees, retired employees, legal counsel and accountants
of IMI, MIMI, and MFC (and their relatives), and (iii) directors, officers,
partners, registered representatives, employees and retired employees (and their
relatives) of dealers having a sales agreement with IMDI (or trustees or
custodians of any qualified retirement plan or IRA established for the benefit
of any such person). In addition, certain investment advisors and financial
planners who charge a management, consulting or other fee for their services and
who place trades for their own accounts or the accounts of their clients may
purchase Class A shares of a Fund without an initial sales charge or a CDSC,
provided such purchases are placed through a broker or agent who maintains an
omnibus account with that Fund. Also, clients of these advisors and planners may
make purchases under the same conditions if the purchases are through the master
account of such advisor or planner on the books of such broker or agent. This
provision applies to assets of retirement and deferred compensation plans and
trusts used to fund those plans including, but not limited to, those defined in
Section 401(a), 403(b) or 457 of the Code and "Rabbi Trusts" whose assets are
used to purchase shares of a fund through the aforementioned channels.

Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased at NAV by retirement plans
qualified under section 401(a) or 403(b) of the Code, subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. A CDSC of 1.00% (0.50%, in
the case of Ivy International Fund) will be imposed on such purchases in the
event of certain plan-level redemption transactions within 24 months (12 months,
in the case of Ivy International Fund) following such purchases. Class A shares
of a Fund are made available to Merrill Lynch Daily K Plan (the "Plan")
participants at NAV without an initial sales charge if the Plan has at least $3
million in assets or 500 or more eligible employees. Class B shares of a Fund
are made available to Plan participants at NAV without a CDSC if the Plan has
less than $3 million in assets or fewer than 500 eligible employees. For further
information see "GROUP SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM" in the Fund's SAI.

If investments by retirement plans at NAV are made through a dealer who has
executed a dealer agreement with respect to a Fund, IMDI may, at the time of
purchase, pay the dealer out of IMDI's own resources a commission to compensate
the dealer for its distribution assistance in connection with the retirement
plan's investment. Please refer to the NAV Commission Tables on page 24 of this
Prospectus. Please contact IMDI for additional information.

Class A shares can also be purchased without an initial sales charge, but
subject to a CDSC of 1.00% during the first 24 months (0.50% during the first 12
months, in the case of Ivy International Fund), by: (a) any state, county or
city (or any instrumentality, department, authority or agency of such entities)
that is prohibited by applicable investment laws from paying a sales charge or
commission when purchasing shares of a registered investment management company
(an "eligible governmental authority"), and (b) trust companies, bank trust
departments, credit unions, savings and loans and other similar organizations in
their fiduciary capacity or for their own accounts, subject to any minimum
requirements set by IMDI (currently, these criteria require that the amount
invested or to be invested in the subsequent 13-month period totals at least
$250,000). In either case, IMDI may pay commissions to dealers that provide
distribution assistance on the same basis as in the preceding paragraph.

Class A shares of a Fund may also be purchased without a sales charge in
connection with certain liquidation, merger or acquisition transactions
involving other investment companies or personal holding companies. Additional
information on reductions or waivers may be obtained from IMDI at the address
listed on the cover of the Prospectus.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE -- CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES

Class B and Class C shares are offered at NAV per share without a front end
sales charge. Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase will be
subject to a CDSC of 1%, and Class B shares redeemed within six years of
purchase will be subject to a CDSC at the rates set forth below. This charge
will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the current market value or
the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Accordingly, you will
not be assessed a CDSC on increases in account value above the initial purchase
price, including shares derived from dividends or capital gains reinvested. In
determining whether a CDSC applies to a redemption, the calculation will be
determined in a manner that results in the lowest possible rate being charged.
It will be assumed that your redemption comes first from shares you have held
beyond the requisite maximum holding period or those you acquire through
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains, and next from the shares you have
held the longest during the requisite holding period.

Proceeds from the CDSC are paid to IMDI. The proceeds are used, in whole or
in part, to defray its expenses related to providing each Fund with distribution
services in connection with the sale of Class B and Class C shares, such as
compensating selected dealers and agents for selling these shares. The
combination of the CDSC and the distribution and service fees makes it possible
for a Fund to sell Class B or Class C shares without deducting a sales charge at
the time of the purchase.

In the case of Class B shares, the amount of the CDSC, if any, will vary
depending on the number of years from the time you purchase your Class B shares
until the time you redeem them. Solely for purposes of determining this holding
period, any payments you make during the quarter will be aggregated and deemed
to have been made on the last day of the quarter. In the case of Class C shares,
solely for purposes of determining this holding period, any purchases you make
during a month will be deemed to have been made on the last day of the month.

IMDI currently intends to pay to dealers a sales commission of 4% of the
sale price of Class B shares that they have sold, and will receive the entire
amount of the CDSC paid by shareholders on the redemption of Class B shares to
finance the 4% commission and related marketing expenses.

With respect to Class C shares, IMDI currently intends to pay to dealers a
sales commission of 1% of the sale price of Class C shares that they have sold,
a portion of which is to compensate the dealers for providing Class C
shareholder account services during the first year of investment. IMDI will
receive the entire amount of the CDSC paid by shareholders on the redemption of
Class C shares to finance the 1% commission and related marketing expenses.

Pursuant to separate distribution plans for the Funds' Class B and Class C
shares, IMDI bears various promotional and sales related expenses, including the
cost of printing and mailing prospectuses to persons other than shareholders.
Under the Funds' Class B Plan, IMDI retains 0.75% of the continuing 1.00%
service/distribution fee assessed to Class B shareholders, and pays a continuing
service fee to qualified dealers at an annual rate of 0.25% of qualified
investments. Under the Class C Plan, IMDI pays continuing service/distribution
fees to qualified dealers at an annual rate of 1.00% of qualified investments
after the first year of investment (0.25% of which represents a service fee).

CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES: Your Class B shares and an appropriate
portion of both reinvested dividends and capital gains on those shares will be
converted into Class A shares automatically no later than the month following
eight years after the shares were purchased, resulting in lower annual
distribution fees. If you exchanged Class B shares into a Fund from Class B
shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie fund, the calculation will be based on the
time the shares in the original fund were purchased.

WAIVER OF CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: The CDSC is waived for (i)
redemptions in connection with distributions not exceeding 12% annually of the
initial account balance (i.e., the value of the shareholder's Class B or Class C
Fund account at the time of the initial distribution) (ia) following retirement
under a tax qualified retirement plan, or (ib) upon attaining age 59 1/2 in the
case of an IRA, a custodial account pursuant to section 403(b)(7) of the Code or
a Keogh Plan; (ii) redemption resulting from tax-free return of an excess
contribution to an IRA; or (iii) any partial or complete redemption following
the death or disability (as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code) of a
shareholder from an account in which the deceased or disabled is named, provided
that the redemption is requested within one year of death or disability. IMDI
may require documentation prior to waiver of the CDSC.

ARRANGEMENTS WITH BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHERS: IMDI may, at its own expense,
pay concessions in addition to those described above to dealers that satisfy
certain criteria established from time to time by IMDI. These conditions relate
to increasing sales of shares of the Funds over specified periods and to certain
other factors. These payments may, depending on the dealer's satisfaction of the
required conditions, be periodic and may be up to (i) 0.25% of the value of Fund
shares sold by the dealer during a particular period, and (ii) 0.10% of the
value of Fund shares held by the dealer's customers for more than one year,
calculated on an annual basis.

HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

You may redeem your Fund shares through your registered securities
representative, by mail or by telephone. A CDSC may apply to certain Class A
share redemptions, to Class B share redemptions prior to conversion and to Class
C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase. All redemptions are made
at the NAV next determined after a redemption request has been received in good
order. Requests for redemptions must be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to be
processed at the NAV for that day. Any redemption request in good order that is
received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will be processed at the price determined
on the following business day. IF SHARES TO BE REDEEMED WERE PURCHASED BY CHECK,
PAYMENT OF THE REDEMPTION MAY BE DELAYED UNTIL THE CHECK HAS CLEARED OR FOR UP
TO 15 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF PURCHASE. If you own shares of more than one class
of a Fund, the Fund will redeem first the shares having the highest 12b-1 fees;
any shares subject to a CDSC will be redeemed last unless you specifically elect
otherwise.

When shares are redeemed, a Fund generally sends you payment on the next
business day. Under unusual circumstances, a Fund may suspend redemptions or
postpone payment to the extent permitted by Federal securities laws. The
proceeds of the redemption may be more or less than the purchase price of

29
<PAGE> 30

your shares, depending upon, among other factors, the market value of the Fund's
securities at the time of the redemption. If the redemption is for over $50,000,
or the proceeds are to be sent to an address other than the address of record,
or an address change has occurred in the last 30 days, it must be requested in
writing with a signature guarantee. See "Signature Guarantees," below.

If you are not certain of the requirements for a redemption, please contact
IMSC at 1-800-777-6472.

THROUGH YOUR REGISTERED SECURITIES DEALER: The Dealer is responsible for
promptly transmitting redemption orders. Redemptions requested by dealers will
be made at the NAV (less any applicable CDSC) determined at the close of regular
trading (4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the day that a redemption request is
received in good order by IMSC.

BY MAIL: Requests for redemption in writing are considered to be in "proper
or good order" if they contain the following:

- Any outstanding certificate(s) for shares being redeemed.

- A letter of instruction, including the account registration, fund number,
the account number and the dollar amount or number of shares to be
redeemed.

- Signatures of all registered owners whose names appear on the account.

- Any required signature guarantees.

- Other supporting legal documentation, if required (in the case of estates,
trusts, guardianships, corporations, unincorporated associations,
retirement plan trustees or others acting in representative capacities).

The dollar amount or number of shares indicated for redemption must not
exceed the available shares or NAV of your account at the next-determined
prices. If your request exceeds these limits, then the trade will be rejected in
its entirety.

Mail your request to IMSC at one of the addresses on page 23 of this
Prospectus.

BY TELEPHONE: Individual and joint accounts may redeem up to $50,000 per
day over the telephone by contacting IMSC at 1-800-777-6472. In times of unusual
economic or market changes, the telephone redemption privilege may be difficult
to implement. If you are unable to execute your transaction by telephone, you
may want to consider placing the order in writing and sending it by mail or
overnight courier.

Checks will be made payable to the current account registration and sent to
the address of record. If there has been a change of address in the last 30
days, please use the instructions for redemption requests by mail described
above. A signature guarantee would be required.

Requests for telephone redemptions will be accepted from the registered
owner of the account, the designated registered representative or the registered
representative's assistant.

Shares held in certificate form cannot be redeemed by telephone.

If Section 6E of the Account Application is not completed, telephone
redemption privileges will be provided automatically. Although telephone
redemptions may be a convenient feature, you should realize that you may be
giving up a measure of security that you may otherwise have if you terminated
the privilege and redeemed your shares in writing. If you do not wish to make
telephone redemptions or let your registered representative do so on your
behalf, you must notify IMSC in writing.

Each Fund employs reasonable procedures that require personal identification
prior to acting on redemption instructions communicated by telephone to confirm
that such instructions are genuine. In the absence of such procedures, a Fund
may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone
instructions.

Receiving Your Proceeds By Federal Funds Wire: For shareholders who
established this feature at the time they opened their account, telephone
instructions will be accepted for redemption of amounts up to $50,000 ($1,000
minimum) and proceeds will be wired on the next business day to a predesignated
bank account.

In order to add this feature to an existing account or to change existing
bank account information, please submit a letter of instructions including your
bank information to IMSC at the address provided above. The letter must be
signed by all registered owners, and their signatures must be guaranteed.

Your account will be charged a fee of $10 each time redemption proceeds are
wired to your bank. Your bank may also charge you a fee for receiving a Federal
Funds wire.

Neither IMSC nor any of the Funds can be responsible for the efficiency of
the Federal Funds wire system or the shareholder's bank.

MINIMUM ACCOUNT BALANCE REQUIREMENTS

Due to the high cost of maintaining small accounts and subject to state law
requirements, a Fund may redeem the accounts of shareholders whose investment,
including sales charges paid, has been less than $1,000 for more than 12 months.
A Fund will not redeem an account unless the shareholder has been given at least
60 days' advance notice of the Fund's intention to do so. No redemption will be
made if a shareholder's account falls below the minimum due to a reduction in
the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. This provision does not apply to
IRAs, other retirement accounts and UGMA/UTMA accounts.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

For your protection, and to prevent fraudulent redemptions, we require a
signature guarantee in order to accommodate the following requests:

- Redemption requests over $50,000.

- Requests for redemption proceeds to be sent to someone other than the
registered shareholder.

- Requests for redemption proceeds to be sent to an address other than the
address of record.

- Registration transfer requests.

- Requests for redemption proceeds to be wired to your bank account (if this
option was not selected on your original application, or if you are
changing the bank wire information).

A signature guarantee may be obtained only from an eligible guarantor
institution as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. An eligible guarantor institution includes banks, brokers, dealers,
municipal securities dealers, government securities dealers, government
securities brokers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered
securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations. The
signature guarantee must not be qualified in any way. Notarizations from notary
publics are not the same as signature guarantees, and are not accepted.

30
<PAGE> 31

Circumstances other than those described above may require a signature
guarantee. Please contact IMSC at 1-800-777-6472 for more information.

CHOOSING A DISTRIBUTION OPTION

You have the option of selecting the distribution option that best suits
your needs:

AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT OPTION -- Both dividends and capital gains are
automatically reinvested at NAV in additional shares of the same class of a Fund
unless you specify one of the other options.

INVESTMENT IN ANOTHER IVY OR MACKENZIE FUND -- Both dividends and capital
gains are automatically invested at NAV in another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund of the
same class.

DIVIDENDS IN CASH/CAPITAL GAINS REINVESTED -- Dividends will be paid in
cash. Capital gains will be reinvested at NAV in additional shares of the same
class of a Fund or another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund of the same class.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS IN CASH -- Both dividends and capital gains will
be paid in cash.

If you wish to have your cash distributions deposited directly to your bank
account via electronic funds transfer ("EFT"), or if you wish to change your
distribution option, please contact IMSC at 1-800-777-6472.

If you wish to have your cash distributions go to an address other than the
address of record, you must provide IMSC with a letter of instruction signed by
all registered owners with signatures guaranteed.

TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

In general, to avoid being subject to a 31% U.S. Federal backup withholding
tax on dividends, capital gains distributions and redemption proceeds, you must
furnish a Fund with your certified tax identification number ("TIN") and certify
that you are not subject to backup withholding due to prior underreporting of
interest and dividends to the IRS. If you fail to provide a certified TIN, or
such other tax-related certifications as a Fund may require, within 30 days of
opening your new account, each Fund reserves the right to involuntarily redeem
your account and send the proceeds to your address of record.

You can avoid the above withholding and/or redemption by correctly
furnishing your TIN, and making certain certifications, in Section 2 of the
Account Application at the time you open your new account, unless the IRS
requires that backup withholding be applied to your account.

Certain payees, such as corporations, generally are exempt from backup
withholding. Please complete IRS Form W-9 with the new account application to
claim this exemption. If the registration is for an UGMA/UTMA account, please
provide the social security number of the minor. Non-U.S. investors who do not
have a TIN must provide, with their Account Application, a completed IRS Form
W-8.

CERTIFICATES

In order to facilitate transfers, exchanges and redemptions, most
shareholders elect not to receive certificates. Should you wish to have a
certificate issued, please contact IMSC at 1-800-777-6472 and request that one
be sent to you. (Retirement plan accounts are not eligible for this service.)
Please note that if you were to lose your certificate, you would incur an
expense to replace it.

Certificates requested by telephone for shares valued up to $50,000 will be
issued to the current registration and mailed to the address of record. Should
you wish to have your certificates mailed to a different address, or registered
differently from the current registration, contact IMSC at 1-800-777-6472.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

Shareholders of a Fund have an exchange privilege with other Ivy and
Mackenzie funds (except Ivy International Fund unless they have an existing Ivy
International Fund account). The Funds reserve the right to reject, for any
reason, any exchange orders.

Class A shareholders may exchange their outstanding Class A shares for Class
A shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie fund on the basis of the relative NAV per
Class A share, plus an amount equal to the difference between the sales charge
previously paid on the outstanding Class A shares and the sales charge payable
at the time of the exchange on the new Class A shares. Incremental sales charges
are waived for outstanding Class A shares that have been invested for 12 months
or longer.

Class B (and Class C) shareholders may exchange their outstanding Class B
(or Class C) shares for Class B (or Class C) shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie
Fund on the basis of the relative NAV per Class B (or Class C) share, without
the payment of any CDSC that would otherwise be due upon the redemption of Class
B (or Class C) shares. Class B shareholders who exercise the exchange privilege
would continue to be subject to the original Fund's CDSC schedule (or period)
following an exchange if such schedule is higher (or longer) than the CDSC for
the new Class B shares.

Class I shareholders may exchange their outstanding Class I shares for Class
I shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund on the basis of the relative NAV per
Class I share.

Shares resulting from the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions
will not be charged an initial sales charge or a CDSC when exchanged into
another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund.

Exchanges are considered to be taxable events, and may result in a capital
gain or a capital loss for tax purposes. Before executing an exchange, you
should obtain and read the prospectus and consider the investment objective of
the fund to be purchased. Shares must be uncertificated in order to execute a
telephone exchange. Exchanges are available only in states where they can be
legally made. This privilege is not intended to provide shareholders a means by
which to speculate on short-term movements in the market. The Funds reserve the
right to limit the frequency of exchanges. Exchanges are accepted only if the
registrations of the two accounts are identical. Amounts to be exchanged must
meet minimum investment requirements for the Ivy or Mackenzie Fund into which
the exchange is made. It is the policy of the Funds to discourage the use of the
exchange privilege for the purpose of timing short-term market fluctuations. To
protect the interests of other shareholders of a Fund, a Fund may cancel the
exchange privileges of any persons that, in the opinion of the Fund, are using
market timing strategies or are making more than five exchanges per owner or
controlling person per calendar year.

With respect to shares subject to a CDSC, if less than all of an investment
is exchanged out of a Fund, the shares exchanged will reflect, pro rata, the
cost, capital appreciation and/or reinvestment of distributions of the original
investment as well as the original purchase date, for purposes of calculating
any CDSC for future redemptions of the exchanged shares.

Investors who held Ivy Fund shares as of December 31, 1991, or who held
shares of certain funds that were reorganized into an Ivy or Mackenzie fund,

31
<PAGE> 32

may be exempt from sales charges on the exchange of shares between any of the
Ivy or Mackenzie funds. If you believe you may be eligible for such an
exemption, please contact IMSC at 1-800-235-3322 for additional information.

In calculating the sales charge assessed on an exchange, shareholders will
be allowed to use the Rights of Accumulation privilege.

EXCHANGES BY TELEPHONE: If Section 6D of the Account Application is not
completed, telephone exchange privileges will be provided automatically.
Although telephone exchanges may be a convenient feature, you should realize
that you may be giving up a measure of security that you may otherwise have if
you terminated the privilege and exchanged your shares in writing. If you do not
wish to make telephone exchanges or let your registered representative do so on
your behalf, you must notify IMSC in writing.

In order to execute an exchange, please contact IMSC at 1-800-777-6472. Have
the account number of your current fund and the exact name in which it is
registered available to give to the telephone representative.

Each Fund employs reasonable procedures that require personal identification
prior to acting on exchange instructions communicated by telephone to confirm
that such instructions are genuine. In the absence of such procedures, a Fund
may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone
instructions.

EXCHANGES IN WRITING: In a letter, request an exchange and provide the
following information:

- - The name and class of the fund whose shares you currently own.

- - Your account number.

- - The name(s) in which the account is registered.

- - The name of the fund in which you wish your exchange to be invested.

- - The number of shares or the dollar amount you wish to exchange.

The request must be signed by all registered owners.

REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE

Investors who have redeemed Class A shares of a Fund have a one-time
privilege of reinvesting all or a part of the proceeds of the redemption back
into Class A shares of that Fund at NAV (without a sales charge) within 60 days
after the date of redemption. IN ORDER TO REINVEST WITHOUT A SALES CHARGE,
SHAREHOLDERS OR THEIR BROKERS MUST INFORM IMSC THAT THEY ARE EXERCISING THE
REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE AT THE TIME OF REINVESTMENT. The tax status of a gain
realized on a redemption generally will not be affected by the exercise of the
reinvestment privilege, but a loss realized on a redemption generally may be
disallowed by the IRS if the reinvestment privilege is exercised within 30 days
after the redemption. In addition, upon a reinvestment, the shareholder may not
be permitted to take into account sales charges incurred on the original
purchase of shares in computing their taxable gain or loss.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN

You may elect the Systematic Withdrawal Plan at any time by completing the
Account Application, which is attached to this Prospectus. You can also obtain
this application by contacting your registered representative or IMSC at
1-800-777-6472. To be eligible, you must have at least $5,000 in your account.
Payments (minimum distribution amount -- $50) from your account can be made
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or on a selected monthly basis, to
yourself or any other designated payee. You may elect to have your systematic
withdrawal paid directly to your bank account via EFT, at no charge. Share
certificates must be unissued (i.e., held by a Fund) while the plan is in
effect. A Systematic Withdrawal Plan may not be established if you are currently
participating in the Automatic Investment Method. For more information, please
contact IMSC at 1-800-777-6472.

If payments you receive through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan exceed the
dividends and capital appreciation of your account, you will be reducing the
value of your account. Additional investments made by shareholders participating
in the Systematic Withdrawal Plan must equal at least $1,000 while the plan is
in effect. However, it may not be advantageous to purchase additional Class A,
Class B or Class C shares when you have a Systematic Withdrawal Plan, because
you may be subject to an initial sales charge on your purchase of Class A shares
or to a CDSC imposed on your redemptions of Class B or Class C shares. In
addition, redemptions are taxable events.

Amounts paid to you through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan are derived from
the redemption of shares in your account. Any applicable CDSC will be assessed
upon the redemptions. A CDSC will not be assessed on withdrawals not exceeding
12% annually of the initial account balance when the Systematic Withdrawal Plan
was started.

Should you wish at any time to add a Systematic Withdrawal Plan to an
existing account or change payee instructions, you will need to submit a written
request, signed by all registered owners, with signatures guaranteed.

Retirement accounts are eligible for Systematic Withdrawal Plans. Please
contact IMSC at 1-800-777-6472 to obtain the necessary paperwork to establish a
plan.

If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if deposits to a
bank account are returned for any reason, your redemptions will be discontinued.

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT METHOD

You may authorize an investment to be automatically drawn each month from
your bank for investment in Fund shares by completing Sections 6A and 7B of the
Account Application. Attach a "voided" check to your account application. At
pre-specified intervals, your bank account will be debited and the proceeds will
be credited to your Ivy Fund account. The minimum investment under this plan is
$50 per month ($25 per month for retirement plans). There is no charge to you
for this program.

You may terminate or suspend your Automatic Investment Method by telephone
at any time by contacting IMSC at 1-800-777-6472.

If you have investments being withdrawn from a bank account and we are
notified that the account has been closed, your Automatic Investment Method will
be discontinued.

CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

Shareholders with two or more Ivy or Mackenzie fund accounts having the same
taxpayer I.D. number will receive a single quarterly account statement, unless
otherwise specified. This feature consolidates the activity for each account
onto one statement. Requests for quarterly consolidated statements for all other
accounts must be submitted in writing and must be signed by all registered
owners.

<PAGE> 33

RETIREMENT PLANS

The Ivy and Mackenzie family of funds offer several tax-sheltered retirement
plans that may fit your needs:

- IRA (Individual Retirement Account)

- 401(k), Money Purchase Pension and Profit Sharing Plans

- SEP-IRA (Simplified Employee Pension Plan)

- 403(b)(7) Plan

- SIMPLE Plans (Individual Retirement Account and 401(k))

Minimum initial and subsequent investments for retirement plans are $25.

Investors Bank & Trust, which serves as custodian or trustee under the
retirement plan prototypes available from each Fund, charges certain nominal
fees for annual maintenance. A portion of these fees is remitted to IMSC, as
compensation for its services to the retirement plan accounts maintained with
each Fund.

Distributions from retirement plans are subject to certain requirements
under the Code. Certain documentation, including IRS Form W4-P, must be provided
to IMSC prior to taking any distribution. Please contact IMSC for details. The
Ivy and Mackenzie family of funds and IMSC assume no responsibility to determine
whether a distribution satisfies the conditions of applicable tax laws, and will
not be responsible for any penalties assessed. For additional information,
please contact your broker, tax adviser or IMSC.

Please call IMSC at 1-800-777-6472 for complete information kits describing
the plans, their benefits, restrictions, provisions and fees.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Each Fund has its own investment objectives and
policies, which are set forth below. The different
types of securities and investment techniques used by
the Funds involve varying degrees of risk.

IVY ASIA PACIFIC FUND: The Fund's principal
investment objective is long-term growth. Consideration
of current income is secondary to this principal
objective. Under normal circumstances the Fund invests
at least 65% of its total assets in securities issued
in Asia-Pacific countries, which for purposes of this
SAI are defined to include China, Hong Kong, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore,
Sri Lanka, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
Securities of Asia-Pacific issuers include: (a)
securities of companies organized under the laws of an
Asia-Pacific country or for which the principal
securities trading market is in the Asia-Pacific
region; (b) securities that are issued or guaranteed by the
government of an Asia-Pacific country, its agencies or
instrumentalities, political subdivisions or the country's
central bank; (c) securities of a company, wherever organized,
where at least 50% of the company's non-current assets,
capitalization, gross revenue or profit in any one of the
two most recent fiscal years represents (directly or
indirectly through subsidiaries) assets or activities
located in the Asia- Pacific region; and (d) any of the
preceding types of securities in the form of depository
shares.

The Fund may participate in markets throughout the
Asia- Pacific region, and it is expected that the Fund
will be invested at all times in at least three Asia-
Pacific countries. The Fund does not expect to
concentrate its investments in any particular industry.
See Appendix C of this SAI for further information
about the economic characteristics of certain Asia-Pacific
countries.

The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in investment-
grade debt securities of government or corporate
issuers in emerging market countries, investment-grade
equity and debt securities of issuers in developed
countries (including the United States), warrants, and
cash or cash equivalents, such as bank obligations
(including certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances), commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase
agreements. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund
may invest without limit in such instruments. The Fund
may also invest up to 5% of its net assets in zero
coupon bonds, and in debt securities rated Ba or below
by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. ("Moody's) or BB or
below by Standard and Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), or if
unrated, considered by IMI to be of comparable quality
(commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds).

For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may
borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets
from banks, but may

not purchase securities at any time during which the
value of the Fund's outstanding loans exceeds 10% of
the value of the Fund's assets. The Fund may engage in
foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into
forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also
invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other
investment companies that invest in securities issued in
Asia-Pacific countries, and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in
restricted and other illiquid securities. The Fund may
with approval of its Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"
or "Board"), but currently does not intend to, lend
portfolio securities.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
securities and stock indices, provided the premium paid
for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options
with respect to up to 10% of the value of its net
assets, and may write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being
purchased upon the exercise of the calls. For hedging
purposes only, the Fund may engage in transactions in
stock index and foreign currency futures contracts,
provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such
contracts does not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY CANADA FUND: Ivy Canada Fund seeks long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity
securities of Canadian companies. Canada is one of the
world's leading industrial countries and a major
exporter of agricultural products. The country is rich
in natural resources such as zinc, uranium, nickel,
gold, silver, aluminum, iron and copper, and forest
covers over 44% of land areas, making Canada a leading
world producer of newsprint. Canada is also a major producer of
hydroelectricity, oil and gas.

As a fundamental policy, the Fund normally invests
at least 65% of its total assets in Canadian equity
securities (i.e., common and preferred stock,
securities convertible into common stock and common
stock purchase warrants) listed on Canadian stock
exchanges or traded over-the-counter in Canada. Canadian
issuers are companies (i) organized under the laws of Canada,
(ii) for which the principal securities trading market is in
Canada, (iii) which derive at least 50% of their
revenues or profits from goods produced or sold,
investments made or services performed in Canada, or
(iv) which have at least 50% of their assets situated
in Canada. The balance of the Fund's assets ordinarily
are invested in (i) bills and bonds of the Canadian
Government and the governments of the provinces or municipalities
of Canada, (ii) high quality notes and debentures of
Canadian companies (i.e., those rated Aaa or Aa by
Moody's or AAA or AA by S&P, or if unrated, judged to
be of comparable quality by Mackenzie Financial
Corporation ("MFC"), the Fund's Adviser), (iii) foreign
securities (including sponsored or unsponsored American
Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), Global Depository Receipts
("GDRs"), American Depository Shares ("ADSs") and Global
Depository Shares ("GDSs")), (iv) U.S. Government securities, (v)

equity securities and investment-grade debt securities
(i.e., those rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or
higher by S&P, or if unrated, considered by MFC to be
of comparable quality) of U.S. companies, and (vi) zero
coupon bonds that meet these credit quality standards.

The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-
issued" or firm commitment basis, engage in foreign
currency exchange transactions and enter into forward
foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also invest
(i) up to 10% of its total assets in other investment
companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in
restricted and other illiquid securities.

For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may
invest without limit in U.S. or Canadian dollar-
denominated money market securities issued by entities
organized in the U.S. or Canada, such as (i)
obligations issued or guaranteed by the Canadian
Government or the governments of the provinces or municipalities
of Canada (or their agencies or instrumentalities), (ii)
finance company and corporate commercial paper (and
other short-term corporate obligations rated Prime-1 by
Moody's or A or better by S&P, or if not rated,
considered by MFC to be of comparable quality), (iii)
obligations of banks (i.e., certificates of deposit,
time deposits and bankers' acceptances) considered
creditworthy by MFC under guidelines approved by the Trustees,
and (iv) repurchase agreements with broker-dealers and
banks. For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund
may also borrow up to 10% of the value of its total
assets from banks.

IVY CHINA REGION FUND: Ivy China Region Fund's
principal investment objective is long-term capital
growth. Consideration of current income is secondary to
this principal objective. The Fund seeks to meet its
objective primarily by investing in the equity
securities of companies that are expected to benefit from
the economic development and growth of China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan. A significant percentage of the Fund's assets may
also be invested in the securities markets of South
Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the
Philippines (collectively, with China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan, the "China Region").

in financial statements, reports, analyses and other
pertinent information (some of which may be obtained
directly from the company). The Fund may invest 25% or
more of its total assets in the securities of issuers
located in any one China Region country, and currently
expects to invest more than 50% of its total assets in
Hong Kong. See Appendix C to this SAI for further
information about the economic characteristics of certain
China Region countries.

The balance of the Fund's assets ordinarily are
invested in (i) certain investment-grade debt
securities and (ii) the equity securities of "China
Region associated companies," which are companies that
do not meet the definition of a Greater China growth
company, but whose current or expected performance, based
on certain identified factors (such as the growth trends in the
location of a company's assets and the sources of its
revenues and profits), is judged by IMI to be strongly
associated with the China Region. The investment-grade
debt securities in which the Fund may invest include
(a) obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies
or instrumentalities, (b) obligations of U.S. banks and
other banks organized and existing under the laws of Hong
Kong, Taiwan or countries that are members of the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD"), and (c)
obligations denominated in any currency issued by
international development institutions and Hong Kong,
Taiwan and OECD member governments and their agencies
and instrumentalities, as well as repurchase agreements
with respect to any of the foregoing instruments. The
Fund may also invest in zero coupon bonds, and
corporate bonds rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher
by S&P (or if unrated, considered by IMI to be of
comparable quality).

The Fund may invest less than 35% of its net
assets in debt securities rated Ba or below by Moody's
or BB or below by S&P, or, if unrated, considered by
IMI to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to
as "high yield" or "junk" bonds). The Fund will not
invest in debt securities rated less than C by either
Moody's or S&P.

The Fund may with approval of the Trustees, but
currently does not intend to, lend portfolio securities
valued at not more that 30% of the Fund's total assets.
The Fund may also invest in sponsored or unsponsored
ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs, warrants, purchase
securities on a "when-issued" or firm commitment basis,
engage in foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into
forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also
invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in other
investment companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net
assets in restricted and other illiquid securities.

liquid debt securities, such as U.S. Government
securities, bank obligations, commercial paper, short-
term notes and repurchase agreements. For temporary or
emergency purposes, the Fund may also borrow up to 10%
of the value of its total assets from banks.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
securities and stock indices, provided the premium paid
for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with
respect to up to 10% of the value of its net assets,
and may write covered call options so long as not more
than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being
purchased upon the exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes
only, the Fund may engage in transactions in stock index
futures contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent
exposure in such contracts does not exceed 15% of its
total assets.

IVY GLOBAL FUND: The Fund seeks long-term capital
growth through a flexible policy of investing in stocks
and debt obligations of companies and governments of
any nation. Any income realized will be incidental.
Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least
65% of its total assets in the common stock of
companies throughout the world, with at least three
different countries (one of which may be the United States)
represented in the Fund's overall portfolio holdings. Although
the Fund generally invests in common stock, it may also
invest in preferred stocks, sponsored or unsponsored
ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs, and investment-grade debt
securities (i.e., those rated Baa or higher by Moody's
or BBB or higher by S&P, or if unrated, considered by
IMI to be of comparable quality), including corporate
bonds, notes, debentures, convertible bonds and zero
coupon bonds.

The Fund may invest less than 35% of its net
assets in debt securities rated Ba or below by Moody's
or BB or below by S&P, or, if unrated, considered by
IMI to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to
as "high yield" or "junk" bonds). The Fund will not
invest in debt securities rated less than C by either
Moody's or S&P.

For temporary defensive purposes and during
periods when IMI believes that circumstances warrant,
the Fund may invest without limit in U.S. Government
securities, obligations issued by

domestic or foreign banks (including certificates of
deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances), and
domestic or foreign commercial paper (which, if issued
by a corporation, must be rated Prime-1 by Moody's or
A-1 by S&P, or if unrated has been issued by a company
that at the time of investment has an outstanding debt
issue rated AAA or AA by S&P or Aaa or Aa by Moody's).
The Fund may also enter into repurchase agreements,
and, for temporary or emergency purposes, may borrow up to 10% of
the value of its total assets from banks.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
stock indices, provided the premium paid for such
options does not exceed 10% of the Fund's net assets.
The Fund may also sell covered put options with respect
to up to 50% of the value of its net assets, and may
write covered call options so long as not more than 20% of the
Fund's net assets is subject to being purchased upon the
exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes only, the
Fund may engage in transactions in (and options on)
stock index and foreign currency futures contracts,
provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such
contracts does not exceed 20% of its total assets.

IVY GLOBAL NATURAL RESOURCES FUND: The Fund's
investment objective is long-term growth. Any income
realized will be incidental. Under normal conditions,
the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in
the equity securities of companies throughout the world
that own, explore or develop natural resources and
other basic commodities, or supply goods and services
to such companies. Under this investment policy, at
least three different countries (one of which may be the United
States) will be represented in the Fund's overall
portfolio holdings. "Natural resources" generally
include precious metals (such as gold, silver and
platinum), ferrous and nonferrous metals (such as iron,
aluminum and copper), strategic metals (such as uranium
and titanium), coal, oil, natural gases, timber,
undeveloped real property and agricultural commodities. Although
the Fund generally invests in common stock, it may also
invest in preferred stock, securities convertible into
common stock and sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs,
ADSs and GDSs. The Fund may also invest directly in
precious metals and other physical commodities.

IMI believes that certain political and economic
changes in the global environment in recent years have
had and will continue to have a profound effect on
global supply and demand of natural resources, and that
rising demand from developing markets and new sources
of supply should create attractive investment
opportunities. In selecting the Fund's investments, IMI will
seek to identify securities of companies that, in IMI's
opinion, appear to be undervalued relative to the value
of the companies' natural resource holdings.

For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may
invest without limit in cash or cash equivalents, such
as bank obligations (including certificates of deposit
and bankers'

acceptances), commercial paper, short-term notes and
repurchase agreements. For temporary or emergency
purposes, the Fund may borrow up to one-third of the
value of its total assets from banks, but may not
purchase securities at any time during which the value
of the Fund's outstanding loans exceeds 10% of the
value of the Fund's total assets. The Fund may engage in foreign
currency exchange transactions and enter into forward
foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also invest
(i) up to 10% of its total assets in other investment
companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in
restricted and other illiquid securities. The Fund may
with approval of the Trustees, but currently does not
intend to, lend portfolio securities.

For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in (and options on) foreign currency futures
contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure
in such contracts does not exceed 15% of its total
assets.

IVY GLOBAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FUND: The Fund's
principal investment objective is long-term capital
growth. Any income realized will be incidental. Under
normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 65% of
its total assets in the common stock of companies that
are expected to benefit from the development,
advancement and use of science and technology. Under this
investment policy, at least three different countries (one of
which may be the United States) will be represented in the
Fund's overall portfolio holdings. Industries likely
to be represented in the Fund's portfolio include
computers and peripheral products, software, electronic
components and systems, telecommunications, media and
information services, pharmaceuticals, hospital supply
and medical devices, biotechnology, environmental
services, chemicals and synthetic materials, and
defense and aerospace. The Fund may also invest in
companies that are expected to benefit indirectly from the
commercialization of technological and scientific advances. In
recent years, rapid advances in these industries have
stimulated unprecedented growth. While this is no
guarantee of future performance, IMI believes that
these industries offer substantial opportunities for
long-term capital appreciation.

Although the Fund generally invests in common
stock, it may also invest in preferred stock,
securities convertible into common stock, sponsored or
unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs, and investment-
grade debt securities (i.e., those rated Baa or higher
by Moody's or BBB or higher by S&P, or if unrated,
considered by IMI to be of comparable quality), including
corporate bonds, notes, debentures, convertible bonds and zero-
coupon bonds. The Fund may also invest up to 5% of its
net assets in debt securities that are rated Ba or
below by Moody's or BB or below by S&P, or if unrated,
considered by IMI to be of comparable quality (commonly
referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds). The Fund
will not invest in debt securities rated less than C by
either Moody's or S&P. (A description of the ratings
assigned by Moody's and S&P is contained in Appendix A to

this SAI).

The Fund may with approval of the Trustees, but
currently does not intend to, lend portfolio securities
valued at not more than 30% of the Fund's total assets.
The Fund may also invest in warrants, purchase
securities on a "when-issued" or firm commitment basis,
engage in foreign currency exchange transactions and
enter into forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund
may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in
other investment companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets
in restricted and other illiquid securities.

For temporary defensive purposes and during
periods when IMI believes that circumstances warrant,
the Fund may invest without limit in U.S. Government
securities, obligations issued by domestic or foreign
banks (including certificates of deposit, time deposits
and bankers' acceptances), and domestic or foreign
commercial paper (which, if issued by a corporation, must be
rated Prime-1 by Moody's or A-1 by S&P, or if unrated has
been issued by a company that at the time of investment
has an outstanding debt issue rated AAA or AA by S&P or
Aaa or Aa by Moody's). The Fund may also enter into
repurchase agreements, and, for temporary or emergency
purposes, may borrow up to 10% of the value of its
total assets from banks.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
stock indices and on individual securities, provided
the premium paid for such options does not exceed 10%
of the value of the Fund's net assets. The Fund may
also sell covered put options with respect to up to 50%
of the value of its net assets, and may sell covered
call options so long as not more than 20% of the Fund's net
assets is subject to being purchased upon the exercise of the
calls. For hedging purposes only, the Fund may engage in
transactions in (and options on) stock index and foreign
currency futures contracts, provided that the Fund's
equivalent exposure in such contracts does not exceed
20% of the value of its total assets.

IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND II: The Fund's principal
investment objective is long-term capital growth
primarily through investment in equity securities.
Consideration of current income is secondary to this
principal objective.

It is anticipated that at least 65% of the Fund's
total assets will be invested in common stocks (and
securities convertible into common stocks) principally
traded in European, Pacific Basin and Latin American
markets. Under this investment policy, at least three
different countries (other than the United States) will
be represented in the Fund's overall portfolio
holdings. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may also
invest in equity securities principally traded in U.S.
markets. IMI, the Fund's investment manager, invests
the Fund's assets in a variety of economic sectors,
industry segments and individual securities in order to
reduce the effects of price volatility in

any one area and to enable shareholders to participate
in markets that do not necessarily move in concert with
U.S. markets. IMI seeks to identify rapidly expanding
foreign economies, and then searches out growing
industries and corporations, focusing on companies with
established records. Individual securities are
selected based on value indicators, such as a low price-earnings
ratio, and are reviewed for fundamental financial
strength. Companies in which investments are made will
generally have at least $1 billion in capitalization
and a solid history of operations.

When economic or market conditions warrant, the
Fund may invest without limit in U.S. Government
securities, investment- grade debt securities (i.e.,
those rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher
by S&P, or if unrated, considered by IMI to be of
comparable quality), preferred stocks, sponsored or
unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs, warrants, or cash or cash
equivalents such as bank obligations (including
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances),
commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase
agreements. For temporary or emergency purposes, the
Fund may borrow up to 10% of the value of its total
assets from banks. The Fund may also purchase securities on a
"when-issued" or firm commitment basis, and may engage in
currency exchange transactions and enter into forward
foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also invest
(i) up to 10% of its total assets in other investment
companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in
restricted and other illiquid securities.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
securities and stock indices, provided the premium paid
for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options
with respect to up to 10% of the value of its net
assets, and may write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being
purchased upon the exercise of the calls. For hedging
purposes only, the Fund may engage in transactions in
(and options on) stock index and foreign currency
futures contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent
exposure in such contracts does not exceed 15% of its
total assets.

IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND: Sales of shares of this
Fund to new investors are being suspended. See
"Additional Rights and Privileges." The Fund's
principal objective is long-term capital growth
primarily through investment in equity securities.
Consideration of current income is secondary to this principal
objective. It is anticipated that at least 65% of the
Fund's total assets will be invested in common stocks
(and securities convertible into common stocks)
principally traded in European, Pacific Basin and Latin
America markets. Under this investment policy, at
least three different countries (other than the United
States) will be represented in the Fund's overall portfolio
holdings. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may also
invest in equity securities principally traded in U.S.
markets.

The Fund's subadviser, Northern Cross Investments
Limited ("Northern Cross" or the "Subadviser"), invests
the Fund's assets in a variety of economic sectors,
industry segments and individual securities in order to
reduce the effects of price volatility in any one area
and to enable shareholders to participate in markets
that do not necessarily move in concert with U.S.
markets. The Subadviser seeks to identify rapidly
expanding foreign economies, and then searches out growing
industries and corporations, focusing on companies with
established records. Individual securities are selected based
on value indicators, such as a low price-earnings
ratio, and are reviewed for fundamental financial
strength. Companies in which investments are made will
generally have at least $1 billion in capitalization
and a solid history of operations.

When economic or market conditions warrant, the
Fund may invest without limit in U.S. Government
securities, investment- grade debt securities (i.e.,
those rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher
by S&P, or if unrated, considered by the Subadviser to
be of comparable quality), preferred stocks, sponsored
or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs and GDSs, warrants, or
cash or cash equivalents such as bank obligations (including
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances), commercial
paper, short-term notes and repurchase agreements. For
temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may borrow up
to 10% of the value of its total assets from banks.
The Fund may also purchase securities on a "when-
issued" or firm commitment basis and may engage in
foreign currency exchange transactions and enter into
forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also invest (i)
up to 10% of its total assets in other investment
companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in
restricted and other illiquid securities. The Fund may
with approval of the Trustees, but currently does not
intend to, lend portfolio securities valued at not more
that 30% of the Fund's total assets.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
securities and stock indices, provided the premium paid
for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with
respect to up to 10% of the value of its net assets,
and may write covered call options so long as not more
than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being
purchased upon the exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes
only, the Fund may engage in transactions in (and options
on) stock index and foreign currency futures contracts,
provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such
contracts does not exceed 15% of its total assets.

capitalization of less than $1 billion. Under this
investment policy, at least three different countries
(other than the United States) will be represented in
the Fund's overall portfolio holdings. For temporary
defensive purposes, the Fund may also invest in equity
securities principally traded in the United States.
The Fund will invest its assets in a variety of economic
sectors, industry segments and individual securities in order to
reduce the effects of price volatility in any area and to
enable shareholders to participate in markets that do
not necessarily move in concert with the U.S. market.
The factors that IMI considers in determining the
appropriate distribution of investments among various
countries and regions include prospects for relative
economic growth, expected levels of inflation,
government policies influencing business conditions and the
outlook for currency relationships.

In selecting the Fund's investments, IMI will seek
to identify securities that are attractively priced
relative to their intrinsic value. The intrinsic value
of a particular security is analyzed by reference to
characteristics such as relative price/earnings ratio,
dividend yield and other relevant factors (such as
applicable financial, tax, social and political
conditions).

When economic or market conditions warrant, the
Fund may invest without limit in U.S. Government
securities, investment- grade debt securities, zero
coupon bonds, preferred stocks, warrants, or cash or
cash equivalents such as bank obligations (including
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances),
commercial paper, short-term notes and repurchase agreements.
The Fund may also invest up to 5% of its net assets in debt
securities rated Ba or below by Moody's or BB or below
by S&P, or if unrated, considered by IMI to be of
comparable quality (commonly referred to as "high
yield" or "junk" bonds).

For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may
borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets
from banks, but may not purchase securities at any time
during which the value of the Fund's outstanding loans
exceeds 10% of the value of the Fund's assets. The
Fund may engage in foreign currency exchange
transactions and enter into forward foreign currency contracts.
The Fund may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total
assets in other investment companies and (ii) up to 15%
of its net assets in restricted and other illiquid
securities. The Fund may with approval of the
Trustees, but currently does not intend to, lend
portfolio securities.

only, the Fund may engage in transactions in stock
index and foreign currency futures contracts, provided
that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such contracts
does not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY LATIN AMERICA STRATEGY FUND: The Fund's
principal investment objective is long-term capital
growth. Consideration of current income is secondary
to this principal objective. Under normal conditions
the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in
securities issued in Latin America, which for purposes
of this Prospectus is defined as Mexico, Central
America, South America and the Spanish-speaking islands of the
Caribbean. Securities of Latin American issuers include
(a) securities of companies organized under the laws of
a Latin American country or for which the principal
securities trading market is in Latin America; (b)
securities that are issued or guaranteed by the
government of a Latin American country, its agencies or
instrumentalities, political subdivisions or the
country's central bank; (c) securities of a company, wherever
organized, where at least 50% of the company's non-current
assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit in any one
of the two most recent fiscal years represents
(directly or indirectly through subsidiaries) assets or
activities located in Latin America; or (d) any of the
preceding types of securities in the form of depository
shares. The Fund may participate in markets throughout
Latin America, and it is expected that the Fund will be
invested at all times in at least three countries. Under
present conditions, the Fund expects to focus its investments in
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela, which IMI
believes are the most developed capital markets in Latin
America. The Fund does not expect to concentrate its
investments in any particular industry.

The Fund's equity investments consist of common
stock, preferred stock (either convertible or non-
convertible), sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, GDRs, ADSs
and GDSs, and warrants (any of which may be purchased
through rights). The Fund's equity securities may be
listed on securities exchanges, traded over- the-
counter, or have no organized market.

The Fund may invest in debt securities (including
zero coupon bonds) when IMI anticipates that the
potential for capital appreciation from debt securities
is likely to equal or exceed that of equity securities
(e.g., a favorable change in relative foreign exchange
rates, interest rate levels or the creditworthiness of
issuers). These include debt securities issued by Latin
American Governments ("Sovereign Debt"). Most of the
debt securities in which the Fund may invest are not rated,
and those that are rated are expected to be below investment-
grade (i.e., rated Ba or below by Moody's or BB or below
by S&P, or considered by IMI to be of comparable
quality), and are commonly referred to as "high yield"
or "junk" bonds.

To meet redemptions, or while the Fund is
anticipating

investments in Latin American securities, the Fund may
hold cash or cash equivalents such as bank obligations
(including certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances), commercial paper, short-term notes and
repurchase agreements. For temporary defensive or
emergency purposes, the Fund may (i) invest without
limit in such instruments, and (ii) borrow up to one-third of the
value of its total assets from banks (but may not
purchase securities at any time during which the value
of the Fund's outstanding loans exceeds 10% of the
value of the Fund's total assets).

The Fund may with approval of the Trustees, but
currently does not intend to, lend portfolio securities
valued at not more that 30% of the Fund's total assets.
The Fund may also invest in warrants, purchase
securities on a "when-issued" or firm commitment basis,
engage in foreign currency exchange transactions and
enter into forward foreign currency contracts. The
Fund may also invest (i) up to 10% of its total assets in
other investment companies and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets
in restricted and other illiquid securities. The Fund
will treat any Latin American securities that are
subject to restrictions on repatriation for more than
seven days, as well as any securities issued in
connection with Latin American debt conversion programs
that are restricted to remittance of invested capital or profits,
as illiquid securities for purposes of this limitation.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
securities and stock indices, provided the premium paid
for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with
respect to up to 10% of the value of its net assets,
and may write covered call options so long as not more
than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being
purchased upon the exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes
only, the Fund may engage in transactions in (and options
on) stock index and foreign currency futures contracts,
provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such
contracts does not exceed 15% of its total assets.

IVY NEW CENTURY FUND: The Fund's principal
objective is long-term growth. Consideration of
current income is secondary to this principal
objective. In pursuing its objective, the Fund invests
primarily in the equity securities of companies that IMI
believes will benefit from the economic development and growth of
emerging markets. The Fund considers countries having
emerging markets to be those that (i) are generally
considered to be "developing" or "emerging" by the
World Bank and the International Finance Corporation,
or (ii) are classified by the United Nations (or
otherwise regarded by their authorities) as "emerging."
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at
least 65% of its total assets in equity securities (including
common and preferred stocks, convertible debt obligations,
warrants, options, rights and sponsored or unsponsored
ADRs, GDRs ADSs and GDSs that are listed on stock
exchanges or traded over- the-counter) of "Emerging
Market growth companies," which are

defined as companies (a) for which the principal
securities trading market is an emerging market (as
defined above), (b) that (alone or on a consolidated
basis) derives 50% or more of its total revenue either
from goods, sales or services in emerging markets, or
(c) that are organized under the laws of (and with a
principal office in) an emerging market country.

The Fund normally invests its assets in the
securities of issuers located in at least three
emerging market countries, and may invest 25% or more
of its total assets in the securities of issuers
located in any one country. IMI's determination as to
whether a company qualifies as a Emerging Markets growth company
is based primarily on information contained in financial
statements, reports, analyses and other pertinent
information (some of which may be obtained directly
from the company).

For purposes of capital appreciation, the Fund may
invest up to 35% of its assets in (i) debt securities
of government or corporate issuers in emerging market
countries, (ii) equity and debt securities of issuers
in developed countries (including the United States),
and (iii) cash or cash equivalents such as bank
obligations (including certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances), commercial paper, short-term notes and
repurchase agreements. For temporary defensive
purposes, the Fund may invest without limit in such
instruments. The Fund may also invest in zero coupon
bonds and purchase securities on a "when-issued" or
firm commitment basis.

The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its
total assets in debt securities rated Ba or lower by
Moody's or BB or lower by S&P, or if unrated,
considered by IMI to be of comparable quality (commonly
referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds).

For temporary or emergency purposes, the Fund may
borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets
from banks, but may not purchase securities at any time
during which the value of the Fund's outstanding loans
exceeds 10% of the value of the Fund's assets. The
Fund may with approval of the Trustees, but currently
does not intend to, lend portfolio securities valued at
not more that 30% of the Fund's total assets, engage in foreign
currency exchange transactions and enter into forward
foreign currency contracts. The Fund may also invest
(i) up to 10% of its total assets in other investment
companies, and (ii) up to 15% of its net assets in
restricted and other illiquid securities.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
securities and stock indices, provided the premium paid
for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options with
respect to up to 10% of the value of its net assets,
and may write covered call options so long as not more
than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being
purchased upon the exercise of the calls. For hedging purposes
only, the Fund may engage in transactions in (and options
on)

stock index and foreign currency futures contracts,
provided that the Fund's equivalent exposure in such
contracts does not exceed 15% of its total assets.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in the equity
securities of "European companies," which include any
issuer (a) that is organized under the laws of a
European country; (b) that derives 50% or more of its
total revenues from goods produced or sold, investments made
or services performed in Europe; or (c) for which the
principal trading market is in Europe. The Fund may
also invest up to 35% of its total assets in the equity
securities of issuers domiciled outside of Europe. The
equity securities in which the Fund may invest include
common stock, preferred stock and common stock
equivalents such as warrants and convertible debt securities.
The Fund may also invest in sponsored or unsponsored ADRs,
European Depository Receipts ("EDRs"), GDRs, ADSs,
European Depository Shares ("EDSs") and GDSs. The Fund
does not expect to concentrate its investments in any
particular industry.

The Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in
debt securities, but will not invest more than 20% of
its net assets in debt securities rated Ba or below by
Moody's or BB or below by S&P (commonly referred to as
"high yield" or "junk" bonds), or if unrated,
considered by IMI to be of comparable quality. The
Fund may also purchase securities on a "when-issued" or firm
commitment basis, engage in foreign currency exchange
transactions and enter into forward foreign currency contracts.
In addition, the Fund may invest up to 5% of its net
assets in zero coupon bonds. The Fund may with
approval of its Board of Trustees (the "Trustees" or
"Board"), but currently does not intend to, lend
portfolio securities.

For temporary defensive purposes or when IMI
believes that circumstances warrant, the Fund may
invest without limit in U.S. Government securities,
investment-grade debt securities (i.e., those rated Baa
or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher by S&P, or if
unrated, considered by IMI to be of comparable quality),
warrants, and cash or cash equivalents such as domestic or
foreign bank obligations (including certificates of deposit,
time deposits and bankers' acceptances), short-term
notes, repurchase agreements, and domestic or foreign
commercial paper (which, if issued by a corporation,
must be rated Prime-1 by Moody's or A-1 by S&P, or if
unrated has been issued by a company that at the time
of investment has an outstanding debt issue rated AAA or AA
by S&P or Aaa or Aa by Moody's).

The Fund may purchase put and call options on
securities and stock indices, provided the premium paid
for such options does not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets. The Fund may also sell covered put options
with respect to up to 10% of the value of its net
assets, and may write covered call options so long as not
more than 25% of the Fund's net assets is subject to being
purchased upon the exercise of the calls. For hedging
purposes only, the Fund may engage in transactions in
(and options on) stock index and foreign currency
futures contracts, provided that the Fund's equivalent
exposure in such contracts does not exceed 15% of its
total assets.

RISK FACTORS

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

U.S. Government securities are obligations of, or
guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities. Securities guaranteed by the U.S.
Government include: (1) direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury (such as Treasury bills, notes, and bonds) and
(2) Federal agency obligations guaranteed as to
principal and interest by the U.S. Treasury (such as GNMA
certificates, which are mortgage-backed securities). When such
securities are held to maturity, the payment of principal
and interest is unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, and thus they are of the highest possible
credit quality. U.S. Government securities that are
not held to maturity are subject to variations in
market value due to fluctuations in interest rates.

Mortgage-backed securities are securities
representing part ownership of a pool of mortgage
loans. For example, GNMA certificates are such
securities in which the timely payment of principal and
interest is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Government. Although the mortgage loans in the pool
will have maturities of up to 30 years, the actual average
life of the loans typically will be substantially less
because the mortgages will be subject to principal
amortization and may be prepaid prior to maturity.
Prepayment rates vary widely and may be affected by
changes in market interest rates. In periods of
falling interest rates, the rate of prepayment tends to increase,
thereby shortening the actual average life of the
security. Conversely, rising interest rates tend to
decrease the rate of prepayment, thereby lengthening
the actual average life of the security (and increasing
the security's price volatility). Accordingly, it is
not possible to predict accurately the average

life of a particular pool. Reinvestment of prepayment
may occur at higher or lower rates than the original
yield on the certificates. Due to the prepayment
feature and the need to reinvest prepayments of
principal at current rates, mortgage- backed securities
can be less effective than typical bonds of similar
maturities at "locking in" yields during periods of
declining interest rates. Such securities may appreciate or
decline in market value during periods of declining or rising
interest rates, respectively.

Securities issued by U.S. Government
instrumentalities and certain federal agencies are
neither direct obligations of nor guaranteed by the
U.S. Treasury; however, they involve Federal
sponsorship in one way or another. Some are backed by specific
types of collateral, some are supported by the issuer's
right to borrow from the Treasury, some are supported
by the discretionary authority of the Treasury to
purchase certain obligations of the issuer, others are
supported only by the credit of the issuing government
agency or instrumentality. These agencies and
instrumentalities include, but are not limited to, Federal Land
Banks, Farmers Home Administration, Central Bank for
Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Home
Loan Banks, Federal National Mortgage Association,
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and Student
Loan Marketing Association.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

Because convertible securities can be converted
into equity securities, their values will normally vary
in some proportion with those of the underlying equity
securities. Convertible securities usually provide a
higher yield than the underlying equity, however, so
that the price decline of a convertible security may
sometimes be less substantial than that of the
underlying equity security.

A Fund may invest in convertible securities, such
as corporate bonds, notes, debentures and other
securities that may be converted into common stock.
Investments in convertible securities can provide
income through interest and dividend payments as well
as an opportunity for capital appreciation by virtue of
their conversion or exchange features.

The convertible securities in which a Fund may
invest include preferred stock that may be converted or
exchanged at a stated or determinable exchange ratio
into underlying shares of common stock. The exchange
ratio for any particular convertible security may be
adjusted from time to time due to stock splits,
dividends, spin-offs, other corporate distributions or scheduled
changes in the exchange ratio. Convertible debt
securities and convertible preferred stocks, until
converted, have general characteristics similar to both
debt and equity securities. Although to a lesser
extent than with debt securities generally, the market
value of convertible securities tends to decline as

interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to
increase as interest rates decline. In addition,
because of the conversion or exchange feature, the
market value of convertible securities typically
changes as the market value of the underlying common
stock changes, and, therefore, also tends to follow movements in
the general market for equity securities. When the
market price of the underlying common stock increases,
the price of a convertible security tends to rise as a
reflection of the value of the underlying common stock,
although typically not as much as the price of the
underlying common stock. While no securities
investments are without risk, investments in convertible
securities generally entail less risk than investments in common
stock of the same issuer.

As debt securities, convertible securities are
investments which provide for a stream of income. Of
course, like all debt securities, there can be no
assurance of income or principal payments because the
issuers of the convertible securities may default on
their obligations. Convertible securities generally
offer lower yields than non-convertible securities of similar
quality because of their conversion or exchange features.

Convertible securities generally are subordinated
to other similar but non-convertible securities of the
same issuer, although convertible bonds, as corporate
debt obligations, are senior in right of payment to all
equity securities, and convertible preferred stock is
senior to common stock, of the same issuer. However,
convertible bonds and convertible preferred stock
typically have lower coupon rates than similar non-
convertible securities. Convertible securities may be issued
as fixed income obligations that pay current income.

DEBT SECURITIES, IN GENERAL

Investment in debt securities involves both
interest rate and credit risk. Generally, the value of
debt instruments rises and falls inversely with
fluctuations in interest rates. As interest rates
decline, the value of debt securities generally
increases. Conversely, rising interest rates tend to cause the
value of debt securities to decrease. Bonds with longer
maturities generally are more volatile than bonds with
shorter maturities. The market value of debt securities
also varies according to the relative financial
condition of the issuer. In general, lower-quality
bonds offer higher yields due to the increased risk
that the issuer will be unable to meet its obligations
on interest or principal payments at the time called
for by the debt instrument.

ZERO COUPON BONDS

A Fund may purchase zero coupon bonds in
accordance with the Fund's credit quality standards.
Zero coupon bonds are debt obligations issued without
any requirement for the periodic payment of interest,
and are issued at a significant discount

from face value. The discount approximates the total
amount of interest the bonds would accrue and compound
over the period until maturity at a rate of interest
reflecting the market rate at the time of issuance. If
a Fund holds zero coupon bonds in its portfolio, it
would recognize income currently for Federal income tax
purposes in the amount of the unpaid, accrued interest
and generally would be required to distribute dividends repre-
senting such income to shareholders currently, even though
the cash representing such income would not have been
received by the Fund. Cash to pay dividends
representing unpaid, accrued interest may be obtained
from, for example, sales proceeds of portfolio
securities and Fund shares and from loan proceeds.
However, this may result in a Fund's having to sell portfolio
securities at a time when it might otherwise choose not to
do so, and the Fund might incur a capital loss on such
sales. Because interest on zero coupon obligations is
not distributed to a Fund on a current basis, but is in
effect compounded, the value of such securities is
subject to greater fluctuations in response to changing
interest rates than the value of debt obligations that
distribute income regularly.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Repurchase agreements are contracts under which a
Fund buys a money market instrument and obtains a
simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase
the instrument at a specified time and at an agreed-
upon yield. Under guidelines approved by the Board, a
Fund is permitted to enter into repurchase agreements
only if the repurchase agreements are at least fully
collateralized with U.S. Government securities or other
securities that the Fund's investment adviser has approved for
use as collateral for repurchase agreements and the
collateral must be marked-to-market daily. A Fund will
enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and
broker-dealers deemed to be creditworthy by the Fund's
investment adviser under guidelines approved by the
Board. In the unlikely event of failure of the
executing bank or broker-dealer, a Fund could
experience some delay in obtaining direct ownership of the
underlying collateral and might incur a loss if the value of
the security should decline, as well as costs in
disposing of the security.

WARRANTS

The holder of a warrant has the right, until the
warrant expires, to purchase a given number of shares
of a particular issuer at a specified price. Such
investments can provide a greater potential for profit
or loss than an equivalent investment in the underlying
security. However, prices of warrants do not
necessarily move in tandem with the prices of the
underlying securities, and are, therefore, considered speculative
investments. Warrants pay no dividends and confer no
rights other than a purchase option. Thus, if a
warrant held by a Fund were not exercised by the date
of its expiration, the Fund would

lose the entire purchase price of the warrant. A
Fund's investments in warrants will not exceed 5% of
the value of its net assets.

SMALL COMPANIES

Investing in smaller company stocks involves
certain special considerations and risks that are not
usually associated with investing in larger, more
established companies. For example, the securities of
smaller companies may be subject to more abrupt or
erratic market movements, because they tend to be thinly
traded and are subject to a greater degree to changes in the
issuer's earnings and prospects. Small companies also tend
to have limited product lines, markets or financial
resources. Transaction costs in smaller company stocks
also may be higher than those of larger companies.

COMMERCIAL PAPER

Commercial paper represents short-term unsecured
promissory notes issued in bearer form by bank holding
companies, corporations and finance companies. A Fund
may invest in commercial paper that is rated Prime-1 by
Moody's or A-1 by S&P or, if not rated by Moody's or
S&P, is issued by companies having an outstanding debt
issue rated Aaa or Aa by Moody's or AAA or AA by S&P.

BANKING INDUSTRY AND SAVINGS AND LOAN OBLIGATIONS

Certificates of deposit are negotiable
certificates issued against funds deposited in a
commercial bank for a definite period of time and
earning a specified return. Bankers' acceptances are
negotiable drafts or bills of exchange, normally drawn
by an importer or exporter to pay for specific merchandise,
which are "accepted" by a bank (meaning, in effect, that the
bank unconditionally agrees to pay the face value of
the instrument at maturity). In addition to investing
in certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, a
Fund may invest in time deposits in banks or savings
and loan associations. Time deposits are generally
similar to certificates of deposit, but are
uncertificated. A Fund's investments in certificates of deposit,
time deposits, and bankers' acceptances are limited to
obligations of (i) banks having total assets in excess of
$1 billion, (ii) U.S. banks which do not meet the $1
billion asset requirement, if the principal amount of
such obligation is fully insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), (iii) savings and
loan associations which have total assets in excess of
$1 billion and which are members of the FDIC, and (iv)
foreign banks if the obligation is, in IMI's opinion, of
an investment quality comparable to other debt securities which
may be purchased by the particular Fund. A Fund's
investments in certificates of deposit of savings
associations are limited to obligations of Federal and
state-chartered institutions whose total assets exceed
$1 billion and whose deposits are insured by

the FDIC.

DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS

ADRs, GDRs and similar instruments, the issuance
of which is typically administered by a U.S. or foreign
bank or trust company, evidence ownership of underlying
securities issued by a U.S. or foreign corporation.
Unsponsored programs are organized independently and
without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying
securities. As a result, available information
concerning the issuer may not be as current as for sponsored
depository instruments and their prices may be more volatile
than if they were sponsored by the issuers of the
underlying securities. ADRs are publicly traded on
exchanges or over-the- counter ("OTC") in the United
States.

INVESTMENT-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES

Bonds rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by S&P are
judged to be of the best quality (i.e., capacity to pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong).
Bonds rated Aa/AA are considered to be of high quality
(i.e., capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
very strong and differs from the highest rated issues
only to a small degree). Bonds rated A are viewed as
having many favorable investment attributes, but elements may be
present that suggest a susceptibility to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than debt in higher rated categories. Bonds
rated Baa/BBB (considered by Moody's to be "medium
grade" obligations) are considered to have an adequate
capacity to pay interest and repay principal, but
certain protective elements may be lacking (i.e., such bonds lack
outstanding investment characteristics and have some
speculative characteristics). A Fund may invest in
debt securities that are given an investment-grade
rating by Moody's or S&P, and may also invest in
unrated debt securities that are considered by IMI to
be of comparable quality.

LOW-RATED DEBT SECURITIES

A Fund may invest in corporate debt securities
rated Ba or lower by Moody's, or BB or lower by S&P. A
Fund will not, however, invest in securities that, at
the time of investment, are rated lower than C by
either Moody's or S&P. Securities rated lower than Baa
or BBB (and comparable unrated securities) are commonly
referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds and are
considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the
issuer's continuing ability to meet principal and interest
payments. The lower the ratings of corporate debt
securities, the more their risks render them like
equity securities. (See Appendix A for a more complete
description of the ratings assigned by Moody's and S&P
and their respective
characteristics.)

While IMI may refer to ratings issued by
established credit

rating agencies, it is not IMI's policy to rely
exclusively on such ratings, but rather to supplement
such ratings with its own independent and ongoing
review of credit quality. A Fund's achievement of its
investment objective may, to the extent of its
investment in low-rated debt securities, be more dependent upon
IMI's credit analysis than would be the case if the Funds
were investing in higher quality bonds. Should the
rating of a portfolio security be downgraded, IMI will
determine whether it is in the relevant Fund's best
interest to retain or dispose of the security.
However, should any individual bond held by a Fund be
downgraded below a rating of C, IMI currently intends to
dispose of such bond based on then existing market conditions.

The secondary market on which low-rated debt
securities are traded may be less liquid than the
market for higher grade bonds. Less liquidity in the
secondary trading market could adversely affect the
price at which a Fund could sell a low-rated debt
security, and cause large fluctuations in the daily net asset
value of the Fund's shares. Adverse publicity and investor
perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental
analysis, may decrease the value and liquidity of low-
rated debt securities, especially in a thinly traded
market. When secondary markets for high yield
securities become relatively less liquid, it may be
more difficult to value the securities, requiring additional
research, and elements of judgment. Prices for low-rated debt
securities may be affected by legislative and regulatory
developments. (For example, Federal rules require
savings and loan institutions to reduce gradually their
holdings of this type of security).

FOREIGN SECURITIES

A Fund may invest in securities of foreign
issuers, including non-U.S. dollar-denominated debt
securities, Euro dollar securities, sponsored and
unsponsored ADRs, ADSs, GDRs GDSs and debt securities
issued, assumed or guaranteed by foreign governments or
political subdivisions or instrumentalities thereof.
Shareholders should consider carefully the substantial
risks involved in investing in securities issued by companies and
governments of foreign nations, which are in addition to
the usual risks inherent in the domestic investments.

Although a Fund intends to invest only in nations
that IMI considers to have relatively stable and
friendly governments, there is the possibility of
expropriation, nationalization, repatriation or
confiscatory taxation, taxation of income earned in a
foreign country and other foreign taxes, foreign exchange
controls (which may include suspension of the ability to
transfer currency from a given country), default in
foreign government securities, political or social
instability or diplomatic developments which could
affect investments in securities of issuers in those
nations. In addition, in many countries there is less
publicly available information about issuers than is
available for U.S. companies. For example, ownership of

unsponsored ADRs may not entitle the owner to financial
or other reports from the issuer to which it might
otherwise be entitled as the owner of a sponsored ADR.
Moreover, foreign companies are not generally subject
to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting
standards, and auditing practices and requirements may
not be comparable to those applicable to U.S.
companies. In many foreign countries, there is less government
supervision and regulation of business and industry
practices, stock exchanges, brokers and listed
companies than in the United States. Foreign
securities transactions may also be subject to higher
brokerage costs than domestic securities transactions.
The foreign securities markets of many of the countries in which
a Fund may invest may also be smaller, less liquid and
subject to greater price volatility than those in the
United States. In addition, a Fund may encounter
difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies and
obtain judgment in foreign courts.

Foreign stock markets have different clearance and
settlement procedures and in certain markets there have
been times when settlements have been unable to keep
pace with the volume of securities transactions, making
it difficult to conduct such transactions. Delays in
settlement could result in temporary periods when
assets of a Fund are uninvested and no return is earned
thereon. The inability of a Fund to make intended
security purchases due to settlement problems could
cause that Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities.
Further, the inability to dispose of portfolio securities
due to settlement problems could result either in
losses to a Fund because of subsequent declines in the
value of the portfolio security or, if a Fund has
entered into a contract to sell the security, in
possible liability to the purchaser. Fixed commissions
on some foreign securities exchanges are generally
higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. exchanges, although
IMI will endeavor to achieve the most favorable net results
on a Fund's portfolio transactions. It may be more
difficult for a Fund's agents to keep currently
informed about corporate actions such as stock
dividends or other matters that may affect the prices
of portfolio securities. Communications between the
United States and foreign countries may be less reliable than
within the United States, thus increasing the risk of
delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss
of certificates for portfolio securities. Moreover,
individual foreign economies may differ favorably or
unfavorably from the United States economy in such
respects as growth of gross national product, rate of
inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and
balance of payments position. IMI seeks to mitigate the
risks to a Fund associated with the foregoing
considerations through investment variation and
continuous professional management.

INVESTING IN EMERGING MARKETS

Investors should recognize that investing in
certain foreign securities involves special
considerations, including those set forth below, that
are not typically associated with investing in

United States securities and that may affect a Fund's
performance favorably or unfavorably. (See "Foreign
Securities" under the caption "Risk Factors and
Investment Techniques" in the Prospectus.)

In recent years, many emerging market countries
around the world have undergone political changes that
have reduced government's role in economic and personal
affairs and have stimulated investment and growth.
Historically, there is a strong direct correlation
between economic growth and stock market returns.
While this is no guarantee of future performance, IMI
believes that investment opportunities (particularly in the
energy, environmental services, natural resources, basic
materials, power, telecommunications and transportation
industries) may result within the evolving economies of
emerging market countries from which the Fund and its
shareholders will benefit.

Investments in companies domiciled in developing
countries may be subject to potentially higher risks
than investments in developed countries. Such risks
include (i) less social, political and economic
stability; (ii) a small market for securities and/or a
low or nonexistent volume of trading, which result in a
lack of liquidity and greater price volatility; (iii)
certain national policies that may restrict a Fund's investment
opportunities, including restrictions on investment in
issuers or industries deemed sensitive to national
interests; (iv) foreign taxation; (v) the absence of
developed structures governing private or foreign
investment or allowing for judicial redress for injury
to private property; (vi) the absence, until relatively
recently in certain Eastern European countries, of a
capital market structure or market-oriented economy; (vii) the
possibility that recent favorable economic developments in
Eastern Europe may be slowed or reversed by unanticipated
political or social events in such countries; and (viii)
the possibility that currency devaluations could
adversely affect the value of a Fund's investments.
Further, many emerging markets have experienced and
continue to experience high rates of inflation.

Despite the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the
Communist Party may continue to exercise a significant
role in certain Eastern European countries. To the
extent of the Communist Party's influence, investments
in such countries will involve risks of
nationalization, expropriation and confiscatory
taxation. The communist governments of a number of Eastern
European countries expropriated large amounts of private
property in the past, in many cases without adequate
compensation, and there can be no assurance that such
expropriation will not occur in the future. In the
event of such expropriation, a Fund could lose a
substantial portion of any investments it has made in the
affected countries. Further, few (if any) accounting standards
exist in Eastern European countries. Finally, even
though certain Eastern European currencies may be
convertible into U.S.

dollars, the conversion rates may be artificial in
relation to the actual market values and may be adverse
to a Fund's net asset value.

Certain Eastern European countries that do not
have well- established trading markets are characterized
by an absence of developed legal structures governing
private and foreign investments and private property.
In addition, certain countries require governmental
approval prior to investments by foreign persons, or
limit the amount of investment by foreign persons in a
particular company, or limit the investment of foreign persons
to only a specific class of securities of a company that
may have less advantageous terms than securities of the
company available for purchase by nationals.

Authoritarian governments in certain Eastern
European countries may require that a governmental or
quasi-governmental authority act as custodian of a
Fund's assets invested in such country. To the extent
such governmental or quasi-governmental authorities do
not satisfy the requirements of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), with respect to
the custody of a Fund's cash and securities, that Fund's
investment in such countries may be limited or may be required
to be effected through intermediaries. The risk of
loss through governmental confiscation may be increased
in such countries.

CANADIAN SECURITIES

Ivy Canada Fund normally invests a significant
portion of its assets in Canadian securities. The
Canadian securities market is among the largest in the
world. Equity securities are traded primarily on the
country's five independent regional stock exchanges:
The Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSE"), the Montreal
Exchange ("ME"), the Vancouver Stock Exchange ("VSE"), the
Alberta Stock Exchange and the Winnipeg Stock Exchange. The
TSE, which is the largest regional exchange, had a
total market capitalization of $1190.8 billion as of
November, 1996 and its 1,304 listed companies had a
November trading volume of 2,610,118,602 shares. A
small percentage of Canadian stocks are traded on the
unlisted or OTC market. In contrast, almost all debt
securities are traded on the OTC. Interlisting is common
among the Canadian and U.S. stock exchanges and the OTC markets.
In addition, the TSE, the American Stock Exchange and
the Midwest Stock Exchange are electronically linked to
permit the order routing of interlisted securities on
those stock exchanges. The ME and the Boston Stock
Exchange are similarly linked. Ivy Canada Fund invests
less than 1% of its assets in securities listed solely
on the VSE.

The economy of Canada is strongly influenced by
the activities of companies and industries involved in
the production and processing of natural resources.
The companies may include those involved in the energy
industry, industrial materials (chemicals, base metals,
timber and paper) and agricultural

materials (grain cereals). The securities of companies
in the energy industry are subject to changes in value
and dividend yield, which depend, to a large extent, on
the price and supply of energy fuels. Rapid price and
supply fluctuations may be caused by events relating to
international politics, energy conservation and the
success of exploration projects. Economic prospects are
changing due to recent government attempts to reduce
restrictions against foreign investment. These
considerations are especially important for a Fund, like Ivy
Canada Fund, which invests primarily in Canadian securities.

Many factors, including social, environmental and
economic conditions, that are not within the control of
Canada affect and could have an adverse impact on the
financial condition of Canada. IMI is unable to
predict what effect, if any, such factors would have on
instruments held in a Fund's portfolio.

Beginning in January of 1989 the U.S. - Canada
Free Trade Agreement will be phased in over a period of
10 years. This agreement will remove tariffs on U.S.
technology and Canadian agricultural products in
addition to removing trade barriers affecting other
important sectors of each country's economy.
Additionally, the recent implementation of the North American
Free Trade Agreement in January, 1994 is expected to lead to
increased trade and reduced barriers between Canada and
the United States.

Canada is one of the world's leading industrial
countries, as well as a major exporter of agricultural
products. Canada is rich in natural resources such as
zinc, uranium, nickel, gold, silver, aluminum, iron and
copper. Forest covers over 44% of land area, making
Canada a leading world producer of newsprint.

Canada is also a major producer of
hydroelectricity, oil and gas. The business activities
of companies in the energy field may include the
production, generation, transmission, marketing,
control or measurement of energy or energy fuels.

Canadian securities exchanges are self-regulatory
agencies that are recognized by the securities
administrators of the province in which the exchange is
located. The largest, most active Canadian exchange is
the TSE, which is a self-regulated agency recognized by
the Ontario Securities Commission. Canadian securities
regulation differs in certain respects from United
States securities regulation. For example, the amount of
information available concerning companies that have securities
traded on Canadian exchanges and do not have securities
traded on an exchange in the United States is generally
less than that available concerning companies which
have securities traded on United States exchanges. See
"Risk Factors and Investment Techniques" in the
Prospectus for a discussion of the risks associated
with investing in the securities of foreign companies.

INVESTING IN LATIN AMERICA

Investing in securities of Latin American issuers
may entail risks relating to the potential political
and economic instability of certain Latin American
countries and the risks of expropriation,
nationalization, confiscation or the imposition of
restrictions on foreign investment and on repatriation of capital
invested. In the event of expropriation,
nationalization or other confiscation by any country, a
Fund could lose its entire investment in any such
country.

The securities markets of Latin American countries
are substantially smaller, less developed, less liquid
and more volatile than the major securities markets in
the U.S. Disclosure and regulatory standards are in
many respects less stringent than U.S. standards.
Furthermore, there is a lower level of monitoring and
regulation of the markets and the activities of
investors in such markets.

The limited size of many Latin American securities
markets and limited trading volume in the securities of
Latin American issuers compared to volume of trading in
the securities of U.S. issuers could cause prices to be
erratic for reasons apart from factors that affect the
soundness and competitiveness of the securities
issuers. For example, limited market size may cause
prices to be unduly influenced by traders who control large
positions. Adverse publicity and investors' perceptions,
whether or not based on in-depth fundamental analysis,
may decrease the value and liquidity of portfolio
securities.

Latin America Strategy Fund invests in securities
denominated in currencies of Latin American countries.
Accordingly, changes in the value of these currencies
against the U.S. dollar will result in corresponding
changes in the U.S. dollar value of the Fund's assets
denominated in those currencies.

Some Latin American countries also may have
managed currencies, which are not free floating against
the U.S. dollar. In addition, there is risk that
certain Latin American countries may restrict the free
conversion of their currencies into other countries.
Further, certain Latin American currencies may not be
internationally traded. Certain of these currencies have
experienced a steep devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar.
Any devaluations in the currencies in which a Fund's
portfolio securities are denominated may have a
detrimental impact on that Fund's net asset value.

The economies of individual Latin American
countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the
U.S. economy in such respects as the rate of growth of
gross domestic product, the rate of inflation, capital
reinvestment, resource self- sufficiency and balance of
payments position. Certain Latin American countries
have experienced high levels of inflation which can
have a debilitating effect on the economy.
Furthermore, certain Latin American countries may impose

withholding taxes on dividends payable to a Fund at a
higher rate than those imposed by other foreign
countries. This may reduce the Fund's investment
income available for distribution to shareholders.

Certain Latin American countries such as
Argentina, Brazil and Mexico are among the world's
largest debtors to commercial banks and foreign
governments. At times, certain Latin American
countries have declared moratoria on the payment of principal
and/or interest on outstanding debt. Investment in
sovereign debt can involve a high degree of risk. The
governmental entity that controls the repayment of
sovereign debt may not be able or willing to repay the
principal and/or interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such debt. A governmental entity's
willingness or ability to repay principal and interest due in a
timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its
cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign
reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign
exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative
size of the debt service burden to the economy as a
whole, the governmental entity's policy towards the
International Monetary Fund, and the political constraints to
which a governmental entity may be subject. Governmental
entities may also be dependent on expected disbursements
from foreign governments, multilateral agencies and
others abroad to reduce principal and interest
arrearages on their debt. The commitment on the part
of these governments, agencies and others to make such
disbursements may be conditioned on a governmental
entity's implementation of economic reforms and/or economic
performance and the timely service of such debtor's
obligations. Failure to implement such reforms,
achieve such levels of economic performance or repay
principal or interest when due may result in the
cancellation of such third parties' commitments to lend
funds to the governmental entity, which may further impair
such debtor's ability or willingness to service its debts in a
timely manner. Consequently, governmental entities may
default on their sovereign debt.

Holders of sovereign debt, including a Fund, may
be requested to participate in the rescheduling of such
debt and to extend further loans to governmental
entities. There is no bankruptcy proceeding by which
defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or
in part.

Governments of many Latin American countries have
exercised and continue to exercise substantial
influence over many aspects of the private sector
through the ownership or control of many companies,
including some of the largest in those countries. As a
result, government actions in the future could have a
significant effect on economic conditions which may adversely
affect prices of certain portfolio securities.
Expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization,
political, economic or social instability or other
similar developments, such as military coups, have
occurred in the past and could also adversely affect a
Fund's investments in this region.

Changes in political leadership, the
implementation of market oriented economic policies,
such as privatization, trade reform and fiscal and
monetary reform are among the recent steps taken to
renew economic growth. External debt is being
restructured and flight capital (domestic capital that has left
home country) has begun to return. Inflation control
efforts have also been implemented. Latin American
equity markets can be extremely volatile and in the
past have shown little correlation with the U.S.
market. Currencies are typically weak, but most are
now relatively free floating, and it is not unusual for the
currencies to undergo wide fluctuations in value over short
periods of time due to changes in the market.

INVESTING IN ASIA PACIFIC SECURITIES

Certain Asia-Pacific countries in which Ivy Asia
Pacific Fund may invest are developing countries, and
may be in the initial stages of their industrialization
cycle. The economic structures of developing countries
generally are less diverse and mature than in the
United States, and their political systems may be
relatively unstable. Historically, markets of developing
countries have been more volatile than the markets of developed
countries, yet such markets often have provided higher
rates of return to investors.

Investing in securities of issuers in Asia-Pacific
countries involves certain considerations not typically
associated with investing in securities of United
States companies, including (i) restrictions on foreign
investment and on repatriation of capital invested in
Asian countries, (ii) currency fluctuations, (iii) the
cost of converting foreign currency into United States
dollars, (iv) potential price volatility and lesser liquidity of
shares traded on Asia-Pacific country securities markets
and (v) political and economic risks, including the
risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and
the risk of war.

Certain Asia-Pacific countries may be more
vulnerable to the ebb and flow of international trade
and to trade barriers and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in countries that
have recently opened their capital markets and that
appear to have relaxed their central planning requirement,
as well as in countries that have privatized some of their state-
owned industries, should be regarded as speculative.

The settlement period of securities transactions
in foreign markets in general may be longer than in
domestic markets, and such delays may be of particular
concern in developing countries. For example, the
possibility of political upheaval and the dependence on
foreign economic assistance may be greater in
developing countries than in developed countries, either one of
which may increase settlement delays.

Securities exchanges, issuers and broker-dealers
in some Asia-Pacific countries are subject to less
regulatory scrutiny

than in the United States. In addition, due to the
limited size of the markets for Asia-Pacific
securities, the prices for such securities may be more
vulnerable to adverse publicity, investors' perceptions
or traders' positions or strategies, which could cause
a decrease not only in the value but also in the
liquidity of the Fund's investments.

INVESTING IN NATURAL RESOURCES

Since the Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund
normally invests a substantial portion of its assets in
securities of companies engaged in natural resources
activities, the Fund may be subject to greater risks
and market fluctuations than funds with more
diversified portfolios. The value of the Fund's securities will
fluctuate in response to market conditions generally, and
will be particularly sensitive to the markets for those
natural resources in which a particular issuer is
involved. The values of natural resources may also
fluctuate directly with respect to real and perceived
inflationary trends and various political developments.
In selecting the Fund's portfolio of investments, IMI will
consider each company's ability to create new products, secure
any necessary regulatory approvals, and generate
sufficient customer demand. A company's failure to
perform well in any one of these areas, however, could
cause its stock to decline sharply.

Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund's investments in
precious metals (such as gold) and other physical
commodities are subject to special risk considerations,
including substantial price fluctuations over short
periods of time. On the other hand, investments in
precious metals coins or bullion could help to moderate
fluctuations in the value of the Fund's portfolio, since
the prices of precious metals have at times tended not to
fluctuate as widely as shares of issuers engaged in the mining
of precious metals. Because precious metals and other
commodities do not generate investment income, however,
the return on such investments will be derived solely
from the appreciation and depreciation on such
investments. The Fund may also incur storage and other
costs relating to its investments in precious metals
and other commodities, which may, under certain
circumstances, exceed custodial and brokerage costs associated
with investments in other types of securities. When the
Fund purchases a precious metal, IMI currently intends
that it will only be in a form that is readily
marketable.

Natural resource industries throughout the world
may be subject to greater political, environmental and
other governmental regulation than many other
industries. Changes in governmental policies and the
need for regulatory approvals may have an adverse
effect on the products and services of natural
resources companies. For example, the exploration, development
and distribution of coal, oil and gas in the United States
are subject to significant Federal and state
regulation, which may affect rates of return on such
investments and the kinds of

services that may be offered to companies in those
industries. In addition, many natural resource
companies have been subject to significant costs
associated with compliance with environmental and other
safety regulations. Such regulations may also hamper
the development of new technologies. The direction, type or
effect of any future regulations affecting natural resource
industries are virtually impossible to predict.

To take advantage of potential growth
opportunities, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund might
have significant investments in companies with
relatively small market capitalization. Securities of
smaller companies may be subject to more abrupt or
erratic market movements than the securities of larger more
established companies, because they tend to be traded in lower
volume and because the companies are subject to greater
business risk.

Under normal conditions, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund is likely to be invested heavily in
foreign securities. Investing in securities of foreign
issuers and denominated in foreign currencies involves
risks not typically associated with investing in United
States securities, including fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates, exposure to adverse political and
economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange
controls and related restrictions. In addition, competition
is intense for many natural resource companies. As a
result, the value of the securities issues by such
companies may to subject to increased share price
volatility.

INVESTING IN THE CHINA REGION

Investors should realize that China Region
countries may be subject to a greater degree of
economic, political and social instability than is the
case in the United States or other developed countries.
Among the factors causing this instability are (i)
authoritarian governments or military involvement in
political and economic decision making, (ii) popular unrest
associated with demands for improved political, economic and
social conditions, (iii) internal insurgencies, (iv)
hostile relations with neighboring countries, (v)
ethnic, religious and racial disaffection, and (vi)
changes in trading status, any one of which could
disrupt the principal financial markets in which the
Ivy China Region Fund invests and adversely affect the value
of its assets. In addition, several China Region countries
have had hostile relations with neighboring nations.
For example, China continues to claim sovereignty over
Taiwan, and is scheduled to assume sovereignty over
Hong Kong in 1997.

Region economies and general declines in the
international securities markets could have a
significant adverse effect on the China Region
securities markets. In addition, certain China Region
countries have in the past failed to recognize private
property rights and have at times nationalized or expropriated
the assets of private companies. There is a heightened risk
in these countries that such adverse actions might be
repeated.

To take advantage of potential growth
opportunities, the Ivy China Region Fund might have
significant investments in companies with relatively
small market capitalization. Securities of smaller
companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
market movements than the securities of larger more
established companies, both because they tend to be traded in
lower volume and because the companies are subject to
greater business risk. In addition, to the extent that
any China Region country experiences rapid increases
in its money supply or investment in equity securities
for speculative purposes, the equity securities traded
in such countries may trade at price- earning multiples
higher than those of comparable companies trading on
securities markets in the United States, which may not
be sustainable. Finally, restriction on foreign investment
exists to varying degrees in some China Region countries.
Where such restrictions apply, investments may be
limited and may increase the Fund's expenses. See also
"Selected Economic and Market Data for Asia Pacific and
China Region Countries" in Appendix C to this SAI.

PRECIOUS METALS AND OTHER PHYSICAL COMMODITIES

Commodities trading is generally considered a
speculative activity. For example, prices of precious
metals are affected by factors such as cyclical
economic conditions, political events and monetary
policies of various countries. Accordingly, markets
for precious metals may at times be volatile and there may be
sharp price fluctuations even during periods when prices
overall are rising. Investments in physical
commodities may also present practical problems of
delivery, storage and maintenance, possible
illiquidity, the unavailability of accurate market valuations and
increased expenses.

Under current U.S. tax law, the Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund may not receive more than 10% of its
yearly income from gains resulting from selling
precious metals or any other physical commodity.
Accordingly, the Fund may be required to hold its
precious metals or sell them at a loss, or to sell its
portfolio securities at a gain, when for investment reasons it
would not otherwise do so.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A forward foreign currency contract (a "forward
contract") is an obligation to purchase or sell a
specific currency for an agreed price at a future date
(usually less than a year), and

typically is individually negotiated and privately
traded by currency traders and their customers. A
forward contract generally has no deposit requirement,
and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades.
Although foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee
for commissions, they do realize a profit based on the
difference between the price at which they are buying
and selling various currencies. Although these
contracts are intended to minimize the risk of loss due to a
decline in the value of the hedged currencies, at the same
time, they tend to limit any potential gain which might
result should the value of such currencies increase.

While a Fund may enter into forward contracts to
reduce currency exchange risks, changes in currency
exchange rates may result in poorer overall performance
for a Fund than if it had not engaged in such
transactions. Moreover, there may be an imperfect
correlation between a Fund's portfolio holdings of
securities denominated in a particular currency and forward
contracts entered into by that Fund. An imperfect correlation
of this type may prevent a Fund from achieving the
intended hedge or expose the Fund to the risk of
currency exchange loss.

A Fund will not enter into or maintain a net
exposure to a forward contract where the consummation
of the contract would obligate the Fund to deliver an
amount of currency that exceeds the value of the Fund's
portfolio securities or other assets denominated in
that currency. Further, a Fund generally will not
enter into a forward contract with a term greater than one year.

To the extent required by applicable law, a Fund
will hold cash or liquid securities in a segregated
account with its custodian in an amount equal (on a
daily marked-to-market basis) to the amount of the
commitments under these contracts. At the maturity of
a forward contract, a Fund may either accept or make
delivery of the currency specified in the contract, or, prior to
maturity, enter into a closing purchase transaction
involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting
position. Closing purchase transactions with respect
to forward contracts are usually effected with the
currency trader who is a party to the original forward
contract.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Investment in foreign securities will usually
involve currencies of foreign countries. In addition,
a Fund may temporarily hold foreign currency deposits
during the completion of investment programs and may
purchase forward contracts. Because of these factors,
the value of the assets of a Fund as measured in U.S.
dollars may be affected favorably or unfavorably by
changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange
control regulations, and the Fund may incur costs in connection
with conversions between various currencies. Although a
Fund values the Fund's assets daily in terms of U.S.
dollars, a Fund does not intend to convert its holdings
of foreign currencies

into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. A Fund may do so
from time to time, and investors should be aware of the
costs of currency conversion. Although foreign
exchange dealers do not charge a fee for conversion,
they do realize a profit based on the difference (the
"spread") between the prices at which they are buying
and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer
to sell a foreign currency to a Fund at one rate, while offering
a lesser rate of exchange should the Fund desire to
resell that currency to the dealer. A Fund will
conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions
either on a cash basis at the spot rate prevailing in
the foreign currency exchange market, or through
entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies.

Because a Fund normally will be invested in both
U.S. and foreign securities markets, changes in the
Fund's share price may have a low correlation with
movements in U.S. markets. A Fund's share price will
reflect movements of the stock and bond markets in
which it is invested (both U.S. and foreign), and of the
currencies in which its foreign investments are denominated.
Thus, the strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar against
foreign currencies accounts for part of a Fund's
investment performance. U.S. and foreign securities
markets do not always move in step with each other, and
the total returns from different markets may vary
significantly.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITs)

Ivy Global Fund may invest in equity real estate
investment trusts ("REITs"). A REIT is a corporation,
trust or association that invests in real estate
mortgages or equities for the benefit of its investors.
REITs are dependent upon management skill, may not be
diversified and are subject to the risks of financing
projects. Such entities are also subject to heavy cash flow
dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation and the
possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through
of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and to maintain exemption from the
1940 Act. By investing in REITs indirectly through a
fund, a shareholder will bear not only his or her
proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund, but
also, indirectly, similar expenses of the REITs.

OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS

OPTIONS, IN GENERAL. A Fund may engage in
transactions in options on securities and stock indices
in accordance with the Fund's stated investment
objective and policies. A Fund may also purchase put
options on securities and may purchase and sell (write)
put and call options on stock indices. Options on
securities and stock indices purchased or written by a Fund will
be limited to options traded on national securities
exchanges, boards of trade or similar entities, or in
the OTC markets.

A call option is a short-term contract (having a
duration of

less than one year) pursuant to which the purchaser, in
return for the premium paid, has the right to buy the
security underlying the option at the specified
exercise price at any time during the term of the
option. The writer of the call option, who receives
the premium, has the obligation, upon exercise of the
option, to deliver the underlying security against payment of
the exercise price. A put option is a similar contract
pursuant to which the purchaser, in return for the
premium paid, has the right to sell the security
underlying the option at the specified exercise price
at any time during the term of the option. The writer
of the put option, who receives the premium, has the
obligation, upon exercise of the option, to buy the underlying
security at the exercise price. The premium paid by the
purchaser of an option will reflect, among other things,
the relationship of the exercise price to the market
price and volatility of the underlying security, the
time remaining to expiration of the option, supply and
demand, and interest rates.

If the writer of an option wishes to terminate the
obligation, the writer may effect a "closing purchase
transaction." This is accomplished by buying an option of
the same series as the option previously written. The
effect of the purchase is that the writer's position
will be cancelled by the Options Clearing Corporation.
However, a writer may not effect a closing purchase
transaction after it has been notified of the exercise
of an option. Likewise, an investor who is the holder
of an option may liquidate his or her position by effecting a
"closing sale transaction." This is accomplished by selling
an option of the same series as the option previously
purchased. There is no guarantee that either a closing
purchase or a closing sale transaction can be effected
at any particular time or at any acceptable price. If
any call or put option is not exercised or sold, it
will become worthless on its expiration date.

A Fund will realize a gain (or a loss) on a
closing purchase transaction with respect to a call or
a put previously written by the Fund if the premium,
plus commission costs, paid by the Fund to purchase the
call or the put is less (or greater) than the premium,
less commission costs, received by the Fund on the sale
of the call or the put. A gain also will be realized if a call
or a put that a Fund has written lapses unexercised,
because the Fund would retain the premium. Any such
gains (or losses) are considered short-term capital
gains (or losses) for Federal income tax purposes. Net
short-term capital gains, when distributed by a Fund,
are taxable as ordinary income. See "Taxation."

A Fund will realize a gain (or a loss) on a
closing sale transaction with respect to a call or a
put previously purchased by the Fund if the premium,
less commission costs, received by the Fund on the sale
of the call or the put is greater (or less) than the
premium, plus commission costs, paid by the Fund to
purchase the call or the put. If a put or a call expires
unexercised, it will become worthless on the expiration date,
and

a Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the premium
paid, plus commission costs. Any such gain or loss
will be long-term or short-term gain or loss, depending
upon a Fund's holding period for the option.

Exchange-traded options generally have
standardized terms and are issued by a regulated
clearing organization (such as the Options Clearing
Corporation), which, in effect, guarantees the
completion of every exchange-traded option transaction. In
contrast, the terms of OTC options are negotiated by a Fund
and its counterparty (usually a securities dealer or a
financial institution) with no clearing organization
guarantee. When a Fund purchases an OTC option, it
relies on the party from whom it has purchased the
option (the "counterparty") to make delivery of the
instrument underlying the option. If the counterparty fails
to do so, a Fund will lose any premium paid for the option,
as well as any expected benefit of the transaction.
Accordingly, IMI will assess the creditworthiness of
each counterparty to determine the likelihood that the
terms of the OTC option will be satisfied.

WRITING OPTIONS ON INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES. A Fund
may write (sell) covered call options on the Fund's
securities in an attempt to realize a greater current
return than would be realized on the securities alone.
A Fund may also write covered call options to hedge a
possible stock or bond market decline (only to the
extent of the premium paid to the Fund for the
options). In view of the investment objectives of a Fund, the
Fund generally would write call options only in
circumstances where the investment adviser to the Fund
does not anticipate significant appreciation of the
underlying security in the near future or has otherwise
determined to dispose of the security.

A Fund may write covered call options as described
in the Fund's Prospectus. A "covered" call option
means generally that so long as the Fund is obligated
as the writer of a call option, the Fund will (i) own
the underlying securities subject to the option, or
(ii) have the right to acquire the underlying
securities through immediate conversion or exchange of
convertible preferred stocks or convertible debt securities owned
by the Fund. Although a Fund receives premium income
from these activities, any appreciation realized on an
underlying security will be limited by the terms of the
call option. A Fund may purchase call options on
individual securities only to effect a "closing
purchase transaction."

As the writer of a call option, a Fund receives a
premium for undertaking the obligation to sell the
underlying security at a fixed price during the option
period, if the option is exercised. So long as a Fund
remains obligated as a writer of a call option, it
forgoes the opportunity to profit from increases in the
market price of the underlying security above the exercise
price of the option, except insofar as the premium represents
such a profit (and retains the risk of loss should the
value of

the underlying security decline).

PURCHASING OPTIONS ON INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES. A
Fund may purchase a put option on an underlying
security owned by the Fund as a defensive technique in
order to protect against an anticipated decline in the
value of the security. A Fund, as the holder of the
put option, may sell the underlying security at the
exercise price regardless of any decline in its market price. In
order for a put option to be profitable, the market
price of the underlying security must decline
sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the
premium and transaction costs that a Fund must pay.
These costs will reduce any profit a Fund might have
realized had it sold the underlying security instead of buying
the put option. The premium paid for the put option would
reduce any capital gain otherwise available for
distribution when the security is eventually sold. The
purchase of put options will not be used by a Fund for
leverage purposes.

A Fund may also purchase a put option on an
underlying security that it owns and at the same time
write a call option on the same security with the same
exercise price and expiration date. Depending on
whether the underlying security appreciates or
depreciates in value, a Fund would sell the underlying
security for the exercise price either upon exercise of the call
option written by it or by exercising the put option held
by it. A Fund would enter into such transactions in
order to profit from the difference between the premium
received by the Fund for the writing of the call option
and the premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of
the put option, thereby increasing the Fund's current
return. A Fund may write (sell) put options on
individual securities only to effect a "closing sale
transaction."

PURCHASING AND WRITING OPTIONS ON SECURITIES
INDICES. A Fund may purchase and sell (write) put and
call options on securities indices. An index assigns
relative values to the securities included in the index
and the index fluctuates with changes in the market
values of the securities so included. Options on
indices are similar to options on individual
securities, except that, rather than giving the purchaser the
right to take delivery of an individual security at a
specified price, they give the purchaser the right to
receive cash. The amount of cash is equal to the
difference between the closing price of the index and
the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars,
times a specified multiple (the "multiplier"). The
writer of the option is obligated, in return for the
premium received, to make delivery of this amount.

The multiplier for an index option performs a
function similar to the unit of trading for a stock
option. It determines the total dollar value per
contract of each point in the difference between the
exercise price of an option and the current level of
the underlying index. A multiplier of 100 means that a
one-point difference will yield $100. Options on

different indices have different multipliers.

When a Fund writes a call or put option on a stock
index, the option is "covered", in the case of a call,
or "secured", in the case of a put, if the Fund
maintains in a segregated account with the Custodian
cash or liquid securities equal to the contract value.
A call option is also covered if a Fund holds a call on
the same index as the call written where the exercise
price of the call held is (i) equal to or less than the exercise
price of the call written or (ii) greater than the
exercise price of the call written, provided that the
Fund maintains in a segregated account with the
Custodian the difference in cash or liquid securities.
A put option is also "secured" if a Fund holds a put on
the same index as the put written where the exercise
price of the put held is (i) equal to or greater than
the exercise price of the put written or (ii) less than the
exercise price of the put written, provided that the Fund
maintains in a segregated account with the Custodian the
difference in cash or liquid securities.

RISKS OF OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The purchase and
writing of options involves certain risks. During the
option period, the covered call writer has, in return
for the premium on the option, given up the opportunity
to profit from a price increase in the underlying
securities above the exercise price, but, as long as
its obligation as a writer continues, has retained the risk of
loss should the price of the underlying security decline.
The writer of an option has no control over the time
when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a
writer of the option. Once an option writer has
received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing
purchase transaction in order to terminate its
obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying
securities (or cash in the case of an index option) at the
exercise price. If a put or call option purchased by a Fund
is not sold when it has remaining value, and if the
market price of the underlying security (or index), in
the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the
exercise price or, in the case of a call, remains less
than or equal to the exercise price, a Fund will lose
its entire investment in the option. Also, where a put
or call option on a particular security (or index) is purchased
to hedge against price movements in a related security (or
securities), the price of the put or call option may
move more or less than the price of the related
security (or securities). In this regard, there are
differences between the securities and options markets
that could result in an imperfect correlation between
these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve
its objective.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market
will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option
position. Furthermore, if trading restrictions or
suspensions are imposed on the options markets, a Fund
may be unable to close out a position. Finally,
trading could be interrupted, for example, because of supply and
demand imbalances arising from a lack of either buyers or

sellers, or the options exchange could suspend trading
after the price has risen or fallen more than the
maximum amount specified by the exchange. Closing
transactions can be made for OTC options only by
negotiating directly with the counterparty or by a
transaction in the secondary market, if any such market exists.
There is no assurance that a Fund will be able to close
out an OTC option position at a favorable price prior
to its expiration. In the event of insolvency of the
counterparty, a Fund might be unable to close out an
OTC option position at any time prior to its
expiration. Although a Fund may be able to offset to some
extent any adverse effects of being unable to liquidate an
option position, the Fund may experience losses in some
cases as a result of such inability.

A Fund's options activities also may have an
impact upon the level of its portfolio turnover and
brokerage commissions. See "Portfolio Turnover."

A Fund's success in using options techniques
depends, among other things, on IMI's ability to
predict accurately the direction and volatility of
price movements in the options and securities markets,
and to select the proper type, time and duration of
options.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

FUTURES, IN GENERAL. A Fund may enter into
futures contracts for hedging purposes. A futures
contract provides for the future sale by one party and
purchase by another party of a specified quantity of a
commodity at a specified price and time. When a
purchase or sale of a futures contract is made by a Fund,
the Fund is required to deposit with its custodian (or broker,
if legally permitted) a specified amount of cash or
U.S. Government securities ("initial margin"). The
margin required for a futures contract is set by the
exchange on which the contract is traded and may be
modified during the term of the contract. The initial
margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith
deposit on the futures contract which is returned to the Fund
upon termination of the contract, assuming all
contractual obligations have been satisfied. A futures
contract held by the Fund is valued daily at the
official settlement price of the exchange on which it
is traded. Each day the Fund pays or receives cash,
called "variation margin," equal to the daily change in
value of the futures contract. This process is known
as "marking to market." Variation margin does not represent a
borrowing or loan by a Fund but is instead a settlement
between the Fund and the broker of the amount one would
owe the other if the futures contract expired. In
computing daily net asset value, the Fund will mark-to-
market its open futures position.

Although some futures contracts call for making or
taking delivery of the underlying securities, generally
these obligations are closed out prior to delivery of
offsetting purchases or sales of matching futures
contracts (same exchange,

underlying security or index, and delivery month). If
an offsetting purchase price is less than the original
sale price, a Fund generally realizes a capital gain,
or if it is more, the Fund generally realizes a capital
loss. Conversely, if an offsetting sale price is more
than the original purchase price, the Fund generally
realizes a capital gain, or if it is less, the Fund
generally realizes a capital loss. The transaction costs
must also be included in these calculations. When purchasing a
futures contract, a Fund will maintain with its Custodian
(and mark-to-market on a daily basis) cash or liquid
securities that, when added to the amounts deposited
with a futures commission merchant ("FCM") as margin,
are equal to the market value of the futures contract.

When selling a futures contact, a Fund will
maintain with its custodian in a segregated account
(and mark-to-market on a daily basis) cash or liquid
securities that, when added to the amounts deposited
with an FCM as margin, are equal to the market value of
the instruments underlying the contract. Alternatively,
a Fund may "cover" its position by owning the instruments
underlying the contract.

A Fund will only enter into futures contracts
which are standardized and traded on a U.S. or foreign
exchange, board of trade, or similar entity or quoted
on an automated quotation system. A Fund will not
enter into a futures contract if, immediately
thereafter, the aggregate initial margin deposits for
futures contracts held by the Fund plus premiums paid by it for
open futures option positions, less the amount by which
any such positions are "in-the-money," would exceed 5%
of the liquidation value of the Fund's portfolio (or
the Fund's net asset value), after taking into account
unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such
contracts the Fund has entered into.

The requirements for qualification as a regulated
investment company also may limit the extent to which a
Fund may enter into futures.

FOREIGN CURRENCY FUTURES CONTRACTS. A Fund may
engage in foreign currency futures contracts for
hedging purposes. A foreign currency futures contract
provides for the future sale by one party and purchase
by another party of a specified quantity of a foreign
currency at a specified price and time.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURES. There are several
risks associated with the use of futures contracts as
hedging techniques. A purchase or sale of a futures
contract may result in losses in excess of the amount
invested in the futures contract. There can be no
guarantee that there will be a correlation between
price movements in the hedging vehicle and in a Fund's
portfolio securities being hedged. In addition, there
are significant differences between the securities and futures
markets that could result in an imperfect correlation
between the markets, causing a given hedge not to
achieve its objectives.

The degree of imperfection of correlation depends on
circumstances such as variations in speculative market
demand for futures on securities, including technical
influences in futures trading, and differences between
the financial instruments being hedged and the
instruments underlying the standard contracts available
for trading in such respects as interest rate levels,
maturities, and creditworthiness of issuers. A decision as to
whether, when and how to hedge involves the exercise of
skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived hedge may
be unsuccessful to some degree because of market
behavior or unexpected interest rate trends.

Futures exchanges may limit the amount of
fluctuation permitted in certain futures contract
prices during a single trading day. The daily limit
establishes the maximum amount that the price of a
futures contract may vary either up or down from the
previous day's settlement price at the end of the current
trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a
futures contract subject to the limit, no more trades may be
made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The
daily limit governs only price movements during a
particular trading day and therefore does not limit
potential losses because the limit may work to prevent
the liquidation of unfavorable positions. For example,
futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily
limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no
trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of positions
and subjecting some holders of futures contracts to
substantial losses.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market
will exist at a time when a Fund seeks to close out a
futures position, and the Fund would remain obligated
to meet margin requirements until the position is
closed. In addition, there can be no assurance that an
active secondary market will continue to exist.

Currency futures contracts may be traded on
foreign exchanges. Such transactions may not be
regulated as effectively as similar transactions in the
United States; may not involve a clearing mechanism and
related guarantees; and are subject to the risk of
governmental actions affecting trading in, or the prices
of, foreign securities. The value of such position also could be
adversely affected by (i) other complex foreign
political, legal and economic factors, (ii) lesser
availability than in the United States of data on which
to make trading decisions, (iii) delays in a Fund's
ability to act upon economic events occurring in
foreign markets during non business hours in the United States,
(iv) the imposition of different exercise and settlement
terms and procedures and margin requirements than in
the United States, and (v) lesser trading volume.

SECURITIES INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS

A Fund may enter into securities index futures
contracts as an efficient means of regulating the
Fund's exposure to the

equity markets. A Fund will not engage in transactions
in futures contracts for speculation but only as a
hedge against changes resulting from market conditions
in the values of securities held in the Fund's
portfolio or which it intends to purchase.

An index futures contract is a contract to buy or
sell units of an index at a specified future date at a
price agreed upon when the contract is made. Entering
into a contract to buy units of an index is commonly
referred to as purchasing a contract or holding a long
position in the index. Entering into a contract to
sell units of an index is commonly referred to as selling a
contract or holding a short position. The value of a unit is
the current value of the stock index. For example, the
S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 selected common
stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (the "Exchange"). The S&P 500 Index assigns
relative weightings to the 500 common stocks included
in the Index, and the Index fluctuates with changes in
the market values of the shares of those common stocks. In the
case of the S&P 500 Index, contracts are to buy or sell
500 units. Thus, if the value of the S&P 500 Index
were $150, one contract would be worth $75,000 (500
units x $150). The index futures contract specifies
that no delivery of the actual securities making up the
index will take place. Instead, settlement in cash
must occur upon the termination of the contract, with
the settlement being the difference between the
contract price and the actual level of the stock index at the
expiration of the contract. For example, if a Fund enters
into a futures contract to buy 500 units of the S&P 500
Index at a specified future date at a contract price of
$150 and the S&P 500 Index is at $154 on that future
date, a Fund will gain $2,000 (500 units x gain of $4).
If a Fund enters into a futures contract to sell 500
units of the stock index at a specified future date at
a contract price of $150 and the S&P 500 Index is at
$154 on that future date, the Fund will lose $2,000 (500 units
x loss of $4).

RISKS OF SECURITIES INDEX FUTURES. A Fund's
success in using hedging techniques depends, among
other things, on IMI's ability to predict correctly the
direction and volatility of price movements in the
futures and options markets as well as in the
securities markets and to select the proper type, time and
duration of hedges. The skills necessary for successful use of
hedges are different from those used in the selection of
individual stocks.

A Fund's ability to hedge effectively all or a
portion of its securities through transactions in index
futures (and therefore the extent of its gain or loss
on such transactions) depends on the degree to which
price movements in the underlying index correlate with
price movements in the Fund's securities. Insofar as
such securities do not duplicate the components of an
index, the correlation probably will not be perfect.
Consequently, a Fund will bear the risk that the prices of the

securities being hedged will not move in the same
amount as the hedging instrument. This risk will
increase as the composition of a Fund's portfolio
diverges from the composition of the hedging
instrument.

Although a Fund intends to establish positions in
these instruments only when there appears to be an
active market, there is no assurance that a liquid
market will exist at a time when the Fund seeks to
close a particular option or futures position. Trading
could be interrupted, for example, because of supply and
demand imbalances arising from a lack of either buyers or
sellers. In addition, the futures exchanges may suspend trading
after the price has risen or fallen more than the
maximum amount specified by the exchange. In some
cases, a Fund may experience losses as a result of its
inability to close out a position, and it may have to
liquidate other investments to meet its cash needs.

Although some index futures contracts call for
making or taking delivery of the underlying securities,
generally these obligations are closed out prior to
delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching
futures contracts (same exchange, underlying security
or index, and delivery month). If an offsetting
purchase price is less than the original sale price, a
Fund generally realizes a capital gain, or if it is more, the
Fund generally realizes a capital loss. Conversely, if an
offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase
price, a Fund generally realizes a capital gain, or if
it is less, the Fund generally realizes a capital loss.
The transaction costs must also be included in these
calculations.

A Fund will only enter into index futures
contracts or futures options that are standardized and
traded on a U.S. or foreign exchange or board of trade,
or similar entity, or quoted on an automated quotation
system. A Fund will use futures contracts and related
options only for "bona fide hedging" purposes, as such
term is defined in applicable regulations of the CFTC.

When purchasing an index futures contract, a Fund
will maintain with its custodian in a segregated
account (and mark-to- market on a daily basis) cash or
liquid securities that, when added to the amounts
deposited with a futures commission merchant ("FCM") as
margin, are equal to the market value of the futures
contract. Alternatively, a Fund may "cover" its position by
purchasing a put option on the same futures contract with a
strike price as high as or higher than the price of the
contract held by a Fund.

When selling an index futures contract, a Fund
will maintain with its custodian in a segregated
account (and mark-to-market on a daily basis) cash or
liquid securities that, when added to the amounts
deposited with an FCM as margin, are equal to the market
value of the instruments underlying the contract. Alternatively,

a Fund may "cover" its position by owning the
instruments underlying the contract (or, in the case of
an index futures contract, a portfolio with a
volatility substantially similar to that of the index
on which the futures contract is based), or by holding
a call option permitting a Fund to purchase the same
futures contract at a price no higher than the price of the
contract written by the Fund (or at a higher price if the
difference is maintained in liquid assets with the Fund's
custodian).

COMBINED TRANSACTIONS. A Fund may enter into
multiple transactions, including multiple options
transactions, multiple futures transactions, multiple
currency transactions (including forward currency
contracts) and multiple interest rate transactions and
some combination of futures, options, currency and
interest rate transactions ("component" transactions),
instead of a single transaction, as part of a single or combined
strategy when, in the opinion of IMI, it is in the best
interests of a Fund to do so. A combined transaction
will usually contain elements of risk that are present
in each of its component transactions. Although
combined transactions are normally entered into based
on IMI's judgment that the combined strategies will
reduce risk or otherwise more effectively achieve the
desired portfolio management goal, it is possible that the
combination will instead increase such risks or hinder
achievement of the management objective.

FIRM COMMITMENT AGREEMENTS AND WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

New issues of certain debt securities are often
offered on a "when-issued basis," meaning the payment
obligation and the interest rate are fixed at the time
the buyer enters into the commitment, but delivery and
payment for the securities normally take place after
the date of the commitment to purchase. Firm
commitment agreements call for the purchase of securities at an
agreed-upon price on a specified future date. A Fund uses
such investment techniques in order to secure what is
considered to be an advantageous price and yield to the
Fund and not for purposes of leveraging the Fund's
assets. In either instance, a Fund will maintain in a
segregated account with its custodian cash or liquid
securities equal (on a daily marked-to-market basis) to
the amount of its commitment to purchase the underlying
securities.

RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES

An "illiquid security" is an asset that may not be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business
within seven days at approximately the value at which a
Fund has valued the security on its books. A
"restricted security" is a security that cannot be
offered to the public for sale without first being
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and is considered to
be illiquid until such filing takes place. Restricted
securities may be sold only in privately negotiated
transactions or in a

public offering with respect to which a registration
statement is in effect under the Securities Act of
1933. Where a registration statement is required, a
Fund may be required to bear all or part of the
registration expenses. Issuers of restricted securities
may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor
protection requirements that would be applicable if their
securities were publicly traded. There may also be a lapse of
time between a Fund's decision to sell a restricted or
illiquid security and the point at which the Fund is
permitted or able to do so. If, during such a period,
adverse market conditions were to develop, a Fund might
obtain a less favorable price than the price that
prevailed when it decided to sell. Since it is not
possible to predict with assurance that the market for securities
eligible for resale under Rule 144A will continue to be
liquid, a Fund will monitor each of its investments in
these securities, focusing on factors such as
valuation, liquidity and availability of information.
This investment practice could have the effect of
increasing the level of illiquidity in a Fund to the extent
that qualified institutional buyers become, for a time,
uninterested in purchasing these restricted securities.
Securities whose proceeds are subject to limitations on
repatriation of principal or profits for more than seven days,
and those for which market quotations are not readily
available, may be deemed illiquid for these purposes.

BORROWING

Borrowing may exaggerate the effect on a Fund's
net asset value of any increase or decrease in the
value of the Fund's portfolio securities. Money
borrowed will be subject to interest costs (which may
include commitment fees and/or the cost of maintaining
minimum average balances). Although the principal of a
Fund's borrowings will be fixed, the Fund's assets may change
in value during the time a borrowing is outstanding, thus
increasing exposure to capital risk. All borrowings will
be repaid before any additional investments are made.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

A Fund's investment objective, as set forth in the
Prospectus under "Investment Objectives and Policies,"
and the investment restrictions set forth below are
fundamental policies of the Fund and may not be changed

the Fund's total assets at the time of such
investment; or

(ii) issue senior securities, except as
appropriate to evidence indebtedness which it

ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS

Unless otherwise indicated, each Fund has adopted
the following additional restrictions, which are not

shareholder approval, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, regulation or regulatory policy. Under
these restrictions, each of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy
China Region Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy Global
Science & Technology Fund, Ivy International Small
Companies Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy
New Century Fund and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund may not:

(i) invest more than 15% of its net assets taken

"illiquid securities", provided, however,
that the Fund (except for Ivy Pan-Europe
Fund) will not invest more than 10%

of its total assets in securities of issuers
that are restricted from selling to the
public without registration under the
Securities act of 1933. Illiquid securities
may include securities subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale (including
private placements), repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days, certain options traded over the
counter that the Fund has purchased, securities
being used to cover certain options that a
fund has written, securities for which market
quotations are not readily available, or
other securities which legally or in IMI's
opinion, subject to the Board's supervision, may
be deemed illiquid, but shall not include any
instrument that, due to the existence of a trading
market, to the Fund's compliance with certain
conditions intended to provide liquidity, or to other
factors, is liquid.

Further, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, each
of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy
Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy International
Fund II, Ivy International Fund, Ivy Latin America
Strategy Fund and Ivy New Century Fund may not:

(i) invest in oil, gas or other mineral leases or

Further, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, each
of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy
Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy International Small
Companies Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy
New Century Fund and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund may not:

(i) purchase securities of other investment
companies, except in connection with a
merger, consolidation or sale of assets, and
except that it may purchase shares of other

restrictions as may be imposed by the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder.

Further, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, each
of Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Global Science &
Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy
International Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund and
Ivy New Century Fund may not:

(i) invest in companies for the purpose of
exercising control of management; or

(ii) invest more than 5% of its total assets in
warrants, valued at the lower of cost or
market, or more than 2% of its total assets
in warrants, so valued, which are not listed
on either the New York or American Stock
Exchanges.

Further, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, each
of Ivy Canada Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund, Ivy International Small Companies Fund
and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund may not:

(i) purchase or sell interests in oil, gas or
mineral leases (other than securities of
companies that invest in or sponsor such
programs).

Further, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, each
of Ivy Canada Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy International
Small Companies Fund and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund may not:

(i) purchase or sell real estate limited
partnership interests.

Further, as a matter of non-fundamental policy,
each of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy
International Small Companies Fund and Ivy Pan-Europe
Fund may not:

(i) sell securities short, except for short sales
"against the box."

Further, as a matter of non-fundamental policy,
each of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund, Ivy International Small Companies Fund
and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund may not:

(i) participate on a joint or a joint and several
basis in any trading account in securities.
The "bunching" of orders of the Fund and of

management of the Fund's investment adviser,
for the sale or purchase of portfolio securities shall
not be considered participation in a joint securities
trading account.

Further, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, Ivy
Latin America Strategy Fund may not:

(i) purchase or retain securities of an issuer
if, with respect to 75% of the Fund's total
assets, such purchase would result in more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of such issuer being held by the Fund.

In addition, pursuant to the requirements of the
1940 Act, Ivy International Fund, may not, with respect
to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its
total assets in the securities of any one issuer.

Whenever an investment objective, policy or
restriction set forth in the Prospectus or this SAI
states a maximum percentage of assets that may be
invested in any security or other asset or

describes a policy regarding quality standards, such
percentage limitation or standard shall, unless
otherwise indicated, apply to the particular Fund only
at the time a transaction is entered into.
Accordingly, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at
the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in the
percentage which results from circumstances not involving any
affirmative action by a Fund, such as a change in market
conditions or a change in the Fund's asset level or other
circumstances beyond the Fund's control, will not be
considered a violation.

ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES

The Trust offers and (except as noted below) bears
the cost of providing to investors the following rights
and privileges. The Trust reserves the right to amend
or terminate any one or more of these rights and
privileges. Notice of amendments to or terminations of
rights and privileges will be provided to shareholders
in accordance with applicable law.

Certain of the rights and privileges described
below refer to funds, other than the Funds, whose
shares are also distributed by Ivy Mackenzie
Distributors, Inc. ("IMDI"). These funds are: Ivy
Growth Fund, Ivy Growth with Income Fund, Ivy Emerging Growth
Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy Pan-Europe Fund, Ivy
International Bond Fund, Ivy Bond Fund and Ivy Money Market
Fund (the other eight series of the Trust); and
Mackenzie California Municipal Fund, Mackenzie Limited
Term Municipal Fund, Mackenzie National Municipal Fund
and Mackenzie New York Municipal Fund (the four series
of Mackenzie Series Trust) (collectively, with the
Funds, the "Ivy Mackenzie Funds"). Shareholders should
obtain a current prospectus before exercising any right or
privilege that may relate to these funds.

Effective April 18, 1997 (the "Effective Date"),
Ivy International Fund suspended the offer of its
shares to new investors. Shares of Ivy International
Fund are available for purchase only by existing
shareholders of Ivy International Fund. In addition, a
prospective investor who communicated his or her
definite indication of interest in purchasing Ivy International
Fund shares within 30 days prior to the Effective Date, to
either IMDI or through his or her investment
professional, may purchase Ivy International Fund
shares within three months following the Effective
Date, provided the investor meets the minimum initial
investment requirement of Ivy International Fund. As of the
Effective Date, expressions of interest are no longer
accepted by IMDI. Once a shareholder's account has
been liquidated, the shareholder may not invest in Ivy
International Fund at a later date.

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT METHOD

The Automatic Investment Method, which enables a
Fund shareholder to have specified amounts
automatically drawn each

month from his or her bank for investment in Fund
shares, is available for Class A, Class B and Class C
shares. The minimum initial and subsequent investment
under this method is $50 per month (except in the case
of a tax qualified retirement plan for which the
minimum initial and subsequent investment is $25 per
month). A shareholder may terminate the Automatic Investment
Method at any time upon delivery to Ivy Mackenzie Services
Corp. ("IMSC") of telephone instructions or written
notice. See "Automatic Investment Method" in the
Prospectus. To begin the plan, complete Sections 6A
and 7B of the Account Application.

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

As described in the Prospectus, shareholders of
each Fund have an exchange privilege with certain other
Ivy Mackenzie Funds (except Ivy International Fund
unless you have an existing Ivy International Fund
account). Before effecting an exchange, shareholders
of each Fund should obtain and read the currently
effective prospectus for the Ivy or Mackenzie Fund into which the
exchange is to be made.

INITIAL SALES CHARGE SHARES. Class A shareholders
may exchange their Class A shares ("outstanding Class A
shares") for Class A shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie
Fund ("new Class A Shares") on the basis of the
relative net asset value per Class A share, plus an
amount equal to the difference, if any, between the
sales charge previously paid on the outstanding Class A
shares and the sales charge payable at the time of the exchange
on the new Class A shares. (The additional sales charge
will be waived for Class A shares that have been
invested for a period of 12 months or longer.) Class A
shareholders may also exchange their shares for shares
of Ivy Money Market Fund (no initial sales charge will
be assessed at the time of such an exchange).

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE SHARES. CLASS A:
Class A shareholders may exchange their Class A shares
that are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
("CDSC"), as described in the Prospectus ("outstanding
Class A shares"), for Class A shares of another Ivy or
Mackenzie Fund ("new Class A shares") on the basis of
the relative net asset value per Class A share, without
the payment of any CDSC that would otherwise be due upon the
redemption of the outstanding Class A shares. Class A
shareholders of a Fund exercising the exchange privilege will
continue to be subject to that Fund's CDSC period
following an exchange if such period is longer than the
CDSC period, if any, applicable to the new Class A
shares.

For purposes of computing the CDSC that may be
payable upon the redemption of the new Class A shares,
the holding period of the outstanding Class A shares is
"tacked" onto the holding period of the new Class A
shares.

CLASS B: Class B shareholders may exchange their
Class B shares ("outstanding Class B shares") for Class
B shares of

another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund ("new Class B shares") on
the basis of the relative net asset value per Class B
share, without the payment of any CDSC that would
otherwise be due upon the redemption of the outstanding
Class B shares. Class B shareholders of a Fund
exercising the exchange privilege will continue to be
subject to that Fund's CDSC schedule (or period)
following an exchange if such schedule is higher (or such period
is longer) than the CDSC schedule (or period) applicable
to the new Class B shares.

Class B shares of a Fund acquired through an
exchange of Class B shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie
Fund will be subject to that Fund's CDSC schedule (or
period) if such schedule is higher (or such period is
longer) than the CDSC schedule (or period) applicable
to the Ivy or Mackenzie Fund from which the exchange
was made.

For purposes of both the conversion feature and
computing the CDSC that may be payable upon the
redemption of the new Class B shares (prior to
conversion), the holding period of the outstanding
Class B shares is "tacked" onto the holding period of
the new Class B shares.

The following CDSC table ("Table 1") applies to
Class B shares of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Bond Fund,
Ivy Canada Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Emerging
Growth Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund, Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund,
Ivy Growth Fund, Ivy Growth with Income Fund, Ivy
International Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy
International Bond Fund, Ivy International Small Companies Fund,
Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy New Century Fund,
Ivy Pan- Europe Fund, Mackenzie California Municipal
Fund, Mackenzie National Municipal Fund and Mackenzie
New York Municipal Fund ("Table 1 Funds"):

CONTINGENT DEFERRED
SALES CHARGE AS A
PERCENTAGE OF DOLLAR
AMOUNT SUBJECT TO YEAR SINCE PURCHASE
CHARGE

First 5%
Second 4%
Third 3%
Fourth 3%
Fifth 2%
Sixth 1%
Seventh and thereafter 0%

The following CDSC table ("Table 2") applies to
Class B shares of Mackenzie Limited Term Municipal Fund
("Table 2 Funds"):

CONTINGENT DEFERRED
SALES CHARGE AS A
PERCENTAGE OF DOLLAR
AMOUNT SUBJECT TO YEAR SINCE PURCHASE
CHARGE

First 3%
Second 2.5%
Third 2%
Fourth 1.5%
Fifth 1%
Sixth and thereafter 0%

The CDSC schedule for Table 1 Funds is higher (and
the period is longer) than the CDSC schedule (and
period) for Table 2 Funds.

If a shareholder exchanges Class B shares of a
Table 1 Fund for Class B shares of a Table 2 Fund,
Table 1 will continue to apply to the Class B shares
following the exchange. For example, an investor may
decide to exchange Class B shares of a Table 1 Fund
("outstanding Class B shares") for Class B shares of a Table
2 Fund ("new Class B shares") after having held the
outstanding Class B shares for two years. The 4% CDSC
that generally would apply to a redemption of
outstanding Class B shares held for two years would not
be deducted at the time of the exchange. If, three
years later, the investor redeems the new Class B shares, a
2% CDSC will be assessed upon the redemption because by
"tacking" the two year holding period of the
outstanding Class B shares onto the three year holding
period of the new Class B shares, the investor will be
deemed to have held the new Class B shares for five
years.

If a shareholder exchanges Class B shares of a
Table 2 Fund for Class B shares of a Table 1 Fund,
Table 1 will apply to the Class B shares following the
exchange. For example, an investor may decide to
exchange Class B shares of a Table 2 Fund ("outstanding
Class B shares") for Class B shares of a Table 1 Fund
("new Class B shares") after having held the outstanding
Class B shares for two years. The 2.5% CDSC that generally would
apply to a redemption of outstanding Class B shares held
for two years would not be deducted at the time of the
exchange. If, three years later, the investor redeems
the new Class B shares, a 2% CDSC will be assessed upon
the redemption because by "tacking" the two year
holding period of the outstanding Class B shares onto
the three year holding period of the new Class B shares, the
investor will be deemed to have held the new Class B shares
for five years.

CLASS C: Class C shareholders may exchange their
Class C shares ("outstanding Class C shares") for Class
C shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund ("new Class C
shares") on the basis of the relative net asset value
per Class C share, without the payment of any CDSC that
would otherwise be due upon redemption.

(Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed
within one year of the date of purchase.)

CLASS I: Class I shareholders may exchange their
Class I shares for Class I shares of another Ivy Fund
on the basis of the relative net asset value per Class
I share.

ALL CLASSES: The minimum amount which may be
exchanged into an Ivy Mackenzie Fund in which shares
are not already held is $1,000 ($5,000,000 in the case
of Class I of Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy Global Science &
Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund, Ivy
International Fund II and Ivy International Small Companies Fund
(generally referred to herein as the "Class I Funds")).
No exchange out of a Fund (other than by a complete
exchange of all Fund shares) may be made if it would
reduce the shareholder's interest in that Fund to less
than $1,000 ($5,000,000 in the case of Class I shares
of the Class I Funds.)

Each exchange will be made on the basis of the
relative net asset values per share of each fund of the
Ivy Mackenzie Funds next computed following receipt by
IMSC of telephone instructions by IMSC or a properly
executed request. Exchanges, whether written or
telephonic, must be received by IMSC by the close of
regular trading on the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., eastern
time) to receive the price computed on the day of receipt.
Exchange requests received after that time will receive
the price next determined following receipt of the
request. The exchange privilege may be modified or
terminated at any time, upon at least 60 days' notice
to the extent required by applicable law. See
"Redemptions."

An exchange of shares between any of the Ivy
Mackenzie Funds will result in a taxable gain or loss.
Generally, this will be a capital gain or loss (long-
term or short-term, depending on the holding period of
the shares) in the amount of the difference between the
net asset value of the shares surrendered and the
shareholder's tax basis for those shares. However, in certain
circumstances, shareholders will be ineligible to take
sales charges into account in computing taxable gain or
loss on an exchange. See "Taxation."

With limited exceptions, gain realized by a tax-
deferred retirement plan will not be taxable to the
plan and will not be taxed to the participant until
distribution. Each investor should consult his or her
tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of an
exchange transaction.

LETTER OF INTENT

Reduced sales charges apply to initial investments
in Class A shares of each Fund made pursuant to a non-
binding Letter of Intent. A Letter of Intent may be
submitted by an individual, his or her spouse and
children under the age of 21, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary

account. See the Account Application in the
Prospectus. Any investor may submit a Letter of Intent
stating that he or she will invest, over a period of 13
months, at least $50,000 in Class A shares of a Fund.
A Letter of Intent may be submitted at the time of an
initial purchase of Class A shares of a Fund or within
90 days of the initial purchase, in which case the Letter
of Intent will be back dated. A shareholder may include, as an
accumulation credit, the value (at the applicable
offering price) of all Class A shares of Ivy Asia
Pacific Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Canada Fund,
Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy International
Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy Pan-Europe Fund,
Ivy Global Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy
Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy Growth Fund, Ivy Growth
with Income Fund, Ivy Emerging Growth Fund, Ivy
International Bond Fund, Ivy International Small
Companies Fund, Ivy New Century Fund, Ivy Bond Fund,
Mackenzie National Municipal Fund, Mackenzie Limited
Term Municipal Fund, Mackenzie California Municipal
Fund and Mackenzie New York Municipal Fund (and shares
that have been exchanged into Ivy Money Market Fund from any of
the other funds in the Ivy Mackenzie Funds) held of record
by him or her as of the date of his or her Letter of
Intent. During the term of the Letter of Intent, the
Transfer Agent will hold Class A shares representing 5%
of the indicated amount (less any accumulation credit
value) in escrow. The escrowed Class A shares will be
released when the full indicated amount has been
purchased. If the full indicated amount is not purchased during
the term of the Letter of Intent, the investor is
required to pay IMDI an amount equal to the difference
between the dollar amount of sales charge that he or
she has paid and that which he or she would have paid
on his or her aggregate purchases if the total of such
purchases had been made at a single time. Such payment will
be made by an automatic liquidation of Class A shares in the
escrow account. A Letter of Intent does not obligate the
investor to buy or the Trust to sell the indicated
amount of Class A shares, and the investor should read
carefully all the provisions of such letter before
signing.

RETIREMENT PLANS

Shares may be purchased in connection with several
types of tax-deferred retirement plans. Shares of more
than one fund distributed by IMDI may be purchased in a
single application establishing a single plan account,
and shares held in such an account may be exchanged
among the funds in the Ivy Mackenzie Funds in
accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and the
exchange privilege available to all shareholders. Initial and
subsequent purchase payments in connection with tax-
deferred retirement plans must be at least $25 per
participant.

The following fees will be charged to individual
shareholder accounts as described in the retirement
prototype plan document:

Retirement Plan New Account Fee no fee
Retirement Plan Annual Maintenance Fee $10.00 per
account

For shareholders whose retirement accounts are
diversified across several funds of the Ivy Mackenzie
Funds, the annual maintenance fee will be limited to
not more than $20.

The following discussion describes the tax
treatment of certain tax-deferred retirement plans
under current Federal income tax law. State income tax
consequences may vary. An individual considering the
establishment of a retirement plan should consult with
an attorney and/or an accountant with respect to the
terms and tax aspects of the plan.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS: Shares of the
Trust may be used as a funding medium for an Individual
Retirement Account ("IRA"). Eligible individuals may
establish an IRA by adopting a model custodial account
available from IMSC, who may impose a charge for
establishing the account. Individuals should consult
their tax advisers before investing IRA assets in a Fund (which
primarily distributes exempt-interest dividends).

An individual who has not reached age 70-1/2 and
who receives compensation or earned income is eligible
to contribute to an IRA, whether or not he or she is an
active participant in a retirement plan. An individual
who receives a distribution from another IRA, a
qualified retirement plan, a qualified annuity plan or
a tax-sheltered annuity or custodial account ("403(b)
plan") that qualifies for "rollover" treatment is also eligible
to establish an IRA by rolling over the distribution
either directly or within 60 days after its receipt.
Tax advice should be obtained in connection with
planning a rollover contribution to an IRA.

In general, an eligible individual may contribute
up to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of his or her
compensation or earned income to an IRA each year. If
a husband and wife are both employed, and both are
under age 70-1/2, each may set up his or her own IRA
within these limits. If both earn at least $2,000 per
year, the maximum potential contribution is $4,000 per year
for both. For years after 1996, the result is similar even if
one spouse has no earned income; if the joint earned
income of the spouses is at least $4,000, a
contribution of up to $2,000 may be made to each
spouse's IRA. For years before 1997, however, if one
spouse has (or elects to be treated as having) no
earned income for IRA purposes for a year, the working spouse may
contribute up to the lesser of $2,250 or 100% of his or
her compensation or earned income for the year to IRAs
for both spouses, provided that no more than $2,000 is
contributed to the IRA of one spouse. Rollover
contributions are not subject to these limits.

An individual may deduct his or her annual
contributions to an IRA in computing his or her Federal
income tax within the limits described above, provided
he or she (or his or her spouse, if they file a joint
Federal income tax return) is not an active participant
in a qualified retirement plan (such as a qualified

corporate, sole proprietorship, or partnership pension,
profit sharing, 401(k) or stock bonus plan), qualified
annuity plan, 403(b) plan, simplified employee pension,
or governmental plan. If he or she (or his or her
spouse) is an active participant, a full deduction is
only available if he or she has adjusted gross income
that is less than a specified level ($40,000 for married
couples filing a joint return, $25,000 for single individuals,
and $0 for a married individual filing a separate return).
The deduction is phased out ratably for active
participants with adjusted gross income between certain
levels ($40,000 and $50,000 for married individuals
filing a joint return, $25,000 and $35,000 for single
individuals, and $0 and $10,000 for married individuals
filing separate returns). Individuals who are active
participants with income above the specified phase-out level may
not deduct their IRA contributions. Rollover
contributions are not includible in income for Federal
income tax purposes and therefore are not deductible
from it.

Generally, earnings on an IRA are not subject to
current Federal income tax until distributed.
Distributions attributable to tax-deductible
contributions and to IRA earnings are taxed as ordinary
income. Distributions of non-deductible contributions
are not subject to Federal income tax. In general, distributions
from an IRA to an individual before he or she reaches
age 59-1/2 are subject to a nondeductible penalty tax
equal to 10% of the taxable amount of the distribution.
The 10% penalty tax does not apply to amounts withdrawn
from an IRA after the individual reaches age 59-1/2,
becomes disabled or dies, or if withdrawn in the form
of substantially equal payments over the life or life
expectancy of the individual and his or her designated benefi-
ciary, if any, or rolled over into another IRA, or, for
years after 1996, amounts withdrawn and used to pay for
deductible medical expenses and amounts withdrawn by
certain unemployed individuals not in excess of amounts
paid for certain health insurance premiums.
Distributions must begin to be withdrawn not later than
April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar
year in which the individual reaches age 70-1/2. Failure to take
certain minimum required distributions will result in
the imposition of a 50% non-deductible penalty tax.
Extremely large distributions in any one year (other
than 1997, 1998 or 1999) from an IRA (or from an IRA
and other retirement plans) may also result in a
penalty tax.

QUALIFIED PLANS: For those self-employed
individuals who wish to purchase shares of one or more
of the funds in the Ivy Mackenzie Funds through a
qualified retirement plan, a Custodial Agreement and a
Retirement Plan are available from IMSC. The
Retirement Plan may be adopted as a profit sharing plan or a
money purchase pension plan. A profit sharing plan permits
an annual contribution to be made in an amount
determined each year by the self-employed individual
within certain limits prescribed by law. A money
purchase pension plan requires annual contributions at
the level specified in the Custodial Agreement. There
is no set-up fee for qualified plans and the annual

maintenance fee is $20.00 per account.

In general, if a self-employed individual has any
common law employees, employees who have met certain
minimum age and service requirements must be covered by
the Retirement Plan. A self- employed individual
generally must contribute the same percentage of income
for common law employees as for himself or herself.

A self-employed individual may contribute up to
the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of compensation or earned
income to a money purchase pension plan or to a
combination profit sharing and money purchase pension
plan arrangement each year on behalf of each
participant. To be deductible, total contributions to a
profit sharing plan generally may not exceed 15% of the total
compensation or earned income of all participants in the
plan, and total contributions to a combination money
purchase-profit sharing arrangement generally may not
exceed 25% of the total compensation or earned income
of all participants. The amount of compensation or
earned income of any one participant that may be
included in computing the deduction is limited (generally to
$150,000 for benefits accruing in plan years beginning after
1993, with annual inflation adjustments). A self-
employed individual's contributions to a retirement
plan on his or her own behalf must be deducted in
computing his or her earned income.

Corporate employers may also adopt the Custodial
Agreement and Retirement Plan for the benefit of their
eligible employees. Similar contribution and deduction
rules apply to corporate employers.

Distributions from the Retirement Plan generally
are made after a participant's separation from service.
A 10% penalty tax generally applies to distributions to
an individual before he or she reaches age 59-1/2,
unless the individual (1) has reached age 55 and
separated from service; (2) dies; (3) becomes disabled;
(4) uses the withdrawal to pay tax-deductible medical expenses;
(5) takes the withdrawal as part of a series of
substantially equal payments over his or her life
expectancy or the joint life expectancy of himself or
herself and a designated beneficiary; or (6) rolls over
the distribution.

The Transfer Agent will arrange for Investors Bank
& Trust to furnish custodial services to the employer
and any participating employees.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS ("403(B)(7) ACCOUNT"):
Section 403(b)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), permits public school systems
and certain charitable organizations to use mutual fund
shares held in a custodial account to fund deferred
compensation arrangements with their employees. A custodial
account agreement is available for those employers whose
employees wish to purchase shares of the Trust in conjunction
with such an arrangement. The sales charge for
purchases of less

than $10,000 of Class A shares is set forth under
"Retirement Plans" in the Prospectus. Sales charges
for purchases of $10,000 or more of Class A shares are
the same as those set forth under "Initial Sales Charge
Alternative -- Class A Shares" in the Prospectus. The
special application for a 403(b)(7) Account is
available from IMSC.

Distributions from the 403(b)(7) Account may be
made only following death, disability, separation from
service, attainment of age 59-1/2, or incurring a
financial hardship. A 10% penalty tax generally
applies to distributions to an individual before he or
she reaches age 59-1/2, unless the individual (1) has reached
age 55 and separated from service; (2) dies or becomes
disabled; (3) uses the withdrawal to pay tax-deductible
medical expenses; (4) takes the withdrawal as part of a
series of substantially equal payments over his or her
life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of himself
or herself and a designated beneficiary; or (5) rolls
over the distribution. There is no set-up fee for
403(b)(7) Accounts and the annual maintenance fee is $20.00 per
account.

SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION ("SEP") IRAS: An
employer may deduct contributions to a SEP up to the
lesser of $30,000 or 15% of compensation. SEP accounts
generally are subject to all rules applicable to IRA
accounts, except the deduction limits, and are subject
to certain employee participation requirements. No new
salary reduction SEPs ("SARSEPs") may be established after 1996,
but existing SARSEPs may continue to be maintained, and non-
salary reduction SEPs may continue to be established as
well as maintained after 1996.

SIMPLE PLANS: An employer may establish a SIMPLE
IRA or a SIMPLE 401(k) for years after 1996. An
employee can make pre-tax salary reduction
contributions to a SIMPLE Plan, up to $6,000 a year.
Subject to certain limits, the employer will either match
a portion of employee contributions, or will make a contribution
equal to 2% of each employee's compensation without
regard to the amount the employee contributes. An
employer cannot maintain a SIMPLE Plan for its
employees if any contributions or benefits are credited
to those employees under any other qualified retirement
plan maintained by the employer.

REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE

Shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares of a
Fund may reinvest all or a part of the proceeds of the
redemption back into Class A shares of the Fund at net
asset value (without a sales charge) within 60 days
from the date of redemption. This privilege may be
exercised only once. The reinvestment will be made at
the net asset value next determined after receipt by IMSC
of the reinvestment order accompanied by the funds to be
reinvested. No compensation will be paid to any sales personnel
or dealer in connection with the transaction.

Any redemption is a taxable event. A loss
realized on a redemption generally may be disallowed
for tax purposes if the reinvestment privilege is
exercised within 30 days after the redemption. In
certain circumstances, shareholders will be ineligible
to take sales charges into account in computing taxable
gain or loss on a redemption if the reinvestment
privilege is exercised. See "Taxation."

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION

A scale of reduced sales charges applies to any
investment of $50,000 or more in Class A shares of a
Fund. See "Initial Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A
Shares" in the Prospectus. The reduced sales charge is
applicable to investments made at one time by an
individual, his or her spouse and children under the
age of 21, or a trustee or other fiduciary of a single trust
estate or single fiduciary account (including a pension,
profit sharing or other employee benefit trust created
pursuant to a plan qualified under Section 401 of the
Code). It is also applicable to current purchases of
all of the funds in the Ivy Mackenzie Funds (except Ivy
Money Market Fund) by any of the persons enumerated
above, where the aggregate quantity of Class A shares
of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy Canada Fund,
Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Emerging Growth Fund, Ivy Global
Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy Global
Science & Technology Fund, Ivy Growth Fund, Ivy Growth
with Income Fund, Ivy International Fund, Ivy
International Bond Fund, Ivy International Small
Companies Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy
New Century Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy Pan-
Europe Fund, Mackenzie National Municipal Fund, Mackenzie
California Municipal Fund Mackenzie New York Municipal Fund and
Mackenzie Limited Term Municipal Fund (and shares that
have been exchanged into Ivy Money Market Fund from any
of the other funds in the Ivy Mackenzie Funds) and of
any other investment company distributed by IMDI,
previously purchased or acquired and currently owned,
determined at the higher of current offering price or
amount invested, plus the Class A shares being
purchased, amounts to $50,000 or more for Ivy Asia Pacific Fund,
Ivy Canada Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Emerging
Growth Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund, Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund,
Ivy Growth Fund, Ivy Growth with Income Fund, Ivy
International Fund, Ivy International Small Companies
Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy New Century
Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy Pan-Europe Fund; $100,000 or
more for Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy International Bond Fund,
Mackenzie National Municipal Fund, Mackenzie California
Municipal Fund and Mackenzie New York Municipal Fund;
or $25,000 or more for Mackenzie Limited Term Municipal
Fund.

At the time an investment takes place, IMSC must
be notified by the investor or his or her dealer that
the investment qualifies for the reduced sales charge
on the basis of previous investments. The reduced
sales charge is subject to confirmation of the
investor's holdings through a check of the particular

Fund's records.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN

A shareholder (except shareholders with accounts
in Class I of the Class I Funds) may establish a
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (a "Withdrawal Plan"), by
telephone instructions or by delivery to IMSC of a
written election to have his or her shares withdrawn
periodically, accompanied by a surrender to IMSC of all share
certificates then outstanding in such shareholder's name,
properly endorsed by the shareholder. To be eligible to
elect a Withdrawal Plan, a shareholder must have at
least $5,000 in his or her account. A Withdrawal Plan
may not be established if the investor is currently
participating in the Automatic Investment Method. A
Withdrawal Plan may involve the depletion of a
shareholder's principal, depending on the amount withdrawn.

A redemption under a Withdrawal Plan is a taxable
event. Shareholders contemplating participating in a
Withdrawal Plan should consult their tax advisers.

Additional investments made by investors
participating in a Withdrawal Plan must equal at least
$1,000 each while the Withdrawal Plan is in effect.
Making additional purchases while a Withdrawal Plan is
in effect may be disadvantageous to the investor
because of applicable initial sales charges or CDSCs.

An investor may terminate his or her participation
in the Withdrawal Plan at any time by delivering
written notice to IMSC. If all shares held by the
investor are liquidated at any time, participation in
the Withdrawal Plan will terminate automatically. The
Trust or IMSC may terminate the Withdrawal Plan option
at any time after reasonable notice to shareholders.

GROUP SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM

Shares may be purchased in connection with
investment programs established by employee or other
groups using systematic payroll deductions or other
systematic payment arrangements. The Trust does not
itself organize, offer or administer any such programs.
However, it may, depending upon the size of the
program, waive the minimum initial and additional investment
requirements for purchases by individuals in conjunction with
programs organized and offered by others. Unless shares
of a Fund are purchased in conjunction with IRAs (see
"How to Buy Shares" in the Prospectus), such group
systematic investment programs are not entitled to
special tax benefits under the Code. The Trust
reserves the right to refuse purchases at any time or
suspend the offering of shares in connection with group
systematic investment programs, and to restrict the offering of
shareholder privileges, such as check writing, simplified
redemptions and other optional privileges, as described
in the Prospectus, to shareholders using group
systematic investment programs.

With respect to each shareholder account
established on or after September 15, 1972 under a
group systematic investment program, the Trust and IMI
each currently charge a maintenance fee of $3.00 (or
portion thereof) that for each twelve-month period (or
portion thereof) that the account is maintained. The
Trust may collect such fee (and any fees due to IMI) through a
deduction from distributions to the shareholders involved
or by causing on the date the fee is assessed a
redemption in each such shareholder account sufficient
to pay such fee. The Trust reserves the right to
change these fees from time to time without advance
notice.

Class A shares of a Fund are made available to
Merrill Lynch Daily K Plan (the "Plan") participants at
NAV without an initial sales charge if:

(i) the Plan is recordkept on a daily valuation
basis by Merrill Lynch and, on the date the Plan
Sponsor signs the Merrill Lynch Recordkeeping
Service Agreement, the Plan has $3 million or more
in assets invested in broker/dealer funds not
advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Asset Management,
L.P. ("MLAM") that are made available pursuant to a Service
Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the fund's
principal underwriter or distributor and in funds
advised or managed by MLAM (collectively, the
"Applicable Investments");

(ii) the Plan is recordkept on a daily valuation
basis by an independent recordkeeper whose
services are provided through a contract or
alliance arrangement with Merrill Lynch, and on
the date the Plan Sponsor signs the Merrill Lynch
Recordkeeping Service Agreement, the Plan has $3 million or
more in assets, excluding money market funds, invested in
Applicable Investments; or

(iii) the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees,
as determined by Merrill Lynch plan conversion
manager, on the date the Plan Sponsor signs the
Merrill Lynch Recordkeeping Service Agreement.

Alternatively, Class B shares of a Fund are made
available to Plan participants at NAV without a CDSC if
the Plan conforms with the requirements for eligibility
set forth in (i) through (iii) above but either does
not meet the $3 million asset threshold or does not
have 500 or more eligible employees.

Plans recordkept on a daily basis by Merrill Lynch
or an independent recordkeeper under a contract with
Merrill Lynch that are currently investing in Class B
shares of a Fund convert to Class A shares once the
Plan has reached $5 million invested in Applicable
Investments, or 10 years after the date of the initial
purchase by a participant under the Plan--the Plan will receive a
Plan level share conversion.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION

Subject to the overall supervision of the
President and the Board, IMI (or MFC with respect to
Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund)
places orders for the purchase and sale of each Fund's
portfolio securities. With respect to Ivy
International Fund, Northern Cross also places orders for the
purchase and sale of the Fund's portfolio securities. All
portfolio transactions are effected at the best price and
execution obtainable. Purchases and sales of debt
securities are usually principal transactions, and,
therefore, brokerage commissions are usually not
required to be paid by the particular Fund for such
purchases and sales (although the price paid generally
includes undisclosed compensation to the dealer). The
prices paid to underwriters of newly-issued securities usually
include a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter,
and purchases of after-market securities from dealers
normally reflect the spread between the bid and asked
prices. In connection with OTC transactions, IMI (or
MFC for Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund and the Subadviser for Ivy International
Fund) attempts to deal directly with the principal
market makers, except in those circumstances where IMI (or MFC
for Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund
and the Subadviser for Ivy International Fund) believes
that a better price and execution are available
elsewhere.

IMI (or MFC for Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global
Natural Resources Fund and the Subadviser for Ivy
International Fund) selects broker-dealers to execute
transactions and evaluates the reasonableness of
commissions on the basis of quality, quantity, and the
nature of the firms' professional services. Commissions
to be charged and the rendering of investment services, including
statistical, research, and counseling services by
brokerage firms, are factors to be considered in the
placing of brokerage business. The types of research
services provided by brokers may include general
economic and industry data, and information on
securities of specific companies. Research services furnished by
brokers through whom the Trust effects securities
transactions may be used by IMI (or MFC for Ivy Canada
Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund and the
Subadviser for Ivy International Fund) in servicing all
of its accounts. In addition, not all of these
services may be used by IMI (or MFC for Ivy Canada Fund and
Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund and the Subadviser for Ivy
International Fund) in connection with the services it
provides to a particular Fund or the Trust. IMI (or
MFC for Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund and the Subadviser for Ivy International
Fund) may consider sales of shares of a Fund as a
factor in the selection of broker-dealers and may select
broker-dealers who provide it with research services. IMI (or
MFC for Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources
Fund and the Subadviser for Ivy International Fund)
will not, however, execute brokerage transactions other
than at the best price and execution.

With respect to Ivy International Fund, when a
security proposed to be purchased or sold for the Fund
is also to be

purchased or sold at the same time for other accounts
managed by the Subadviser, purchases or sales are
effected on a pro rata, rotating or other equitable
basis so as to avoid any one account being preferred
over any other account.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, during
the six- month period ended December 31, 1994 and during
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, Ivy
Canada Fund paid brokerage commissions of $202,849,
$98,390, $79,464 and $102,121, respectively.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996, Ivy China Region Fund paid brokerage
commissions of $26,579, $70,459 and $62,812,
respectively.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, during
the six- month period ended December 31, 1994, and
during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and
1996, Ivy Global Fund paid brokerage commissions of
$58,828, $43,367, $96,124 and $90,904, respectively.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996, Ivy International Fund paid brokerage
commissions of $139,426, $715,524 and $1,709,643,
respectively.

During the period from November 1, 1994
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 1994, Ivy
Latin America Strategy Fund and Ivy New Century Fund
each paid brokerage commissions of $5,491 and $2,611,
respectively. During the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund and Ivy New
Century Fund each paid brokerage commissions of $17,184 and
$15,236, respectively. During the fiscal year ended December
31, 1996, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund and Ivy New
Century Fund each paid brokerage commissions of $15,756
and $95,606, respectively.

During the period from July 22, 1996 (commencement
of operations to December 31, 1996) Ivy Global Science
& Technology Fund paid brokerage commissions of
$37,065. Brokerage commission information is not
available for Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund and Ivy International Small Companies
Fund, which did not commence operations until January
1, 1997, or for Ivy International Fund II or Ivy Pan-Europe Fund,
which did not commence operations until May 13,
1997.

Each Fund may, under some circumstances, accept
securities in lieu of cash as payment for Fund shares.
Each of these Funds will accept securities only to
increase its holdings in a portfolio security or to
take a new portfolio position in a security that IMI
(and the Subadviser for Ivy International Fund) deems
to be a desirable investment for each the Fund. While no
minimum has been established, it is expected that each the Fund
will not accept securities having an aggregate value of
less than $1 million. The Trust may reject in whole or
in part any or all

offers to pay for the Fund shares with securities and
may discontinue accepting securities as payment for the
Fund shares at any time without notice. The Trust will
value accepted securities in the manner and at the same
time provided for valuing portfolio securities of each
the Fund, and the Fund shares will be sold for net
asset value determined at the same time the accepted
securities are valued. The Trust will only accept
securities delivered in proper form and will not accept
securities subject to legal restrictions on transfer. The
acceptance of securities by the Trust must comply with the
applicable laws of certain states.

PERSONAL INVESTMENTS BY EMPLOYEES OF IMI

Employees of IMI are permitted to make personal
securities transactions, subject to the requirements
and restrictions set forth in IMI's Code of Ethics.
The Code of Ethics is designed to identify and address
certain conflicts of interest between personal
investment activities and the interests of investment
advisory clients such as the Fund. Among other things, the Code
of Ethics, which generally complies with standards
recommended by the Investment Company Institute's
Advisory Group on Personal Investing, prohibits certain
types of transactions absent prior approval, applies to
portfolio managers, traders, research analysts and
others involved in the investment advisory process, and
imposes time periods during which personal transactions may
not be made in certain securities, and requires the submission
of duplicate broker confirmations and monthly reporting
of securities transactions. Exceptions to these and
other provisions of the Code of Ethics may be granted
in particular circumstances after review by appropriate
personnel.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

IMI provides business management and investment
advisory services to each Fund (other than Ivy Canada
Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund) pursuant to
a Business Management and Investment Advisory Agreement
(the "Agreement"). IMI provides business management
services to Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund pursuant to a Business Management
Agreement (the "Management Agreement"). The Agreement (or the
Management Agreement, in the case of Ivy Canada Fund and
Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund) was approved (i) by
the sole shareholder of Ivy China Region Fund on
October 23, 1993, (ii) by the shareholders of Ivy
International Fund on December 30, 1991, (iii) by the
sole shareholder of each of Ivy Latin America Strategy
Fund and Ivy New Century Fund on October 28, 1994, (iv)
by the sole shareholder of each of Ivy Global Fund and Ivy Canada
Fund on January 27, 1995, (v) by the sole shareholder of
Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund on July 16, 1996,
(vi) by the sole shareholder of each of Ivy Asia
Pacific Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund and Ivy
International Small Companies Fund on December 13,
1996, and (vii) by the sole shareholder of each of Ivy
International Fund II and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund on April 30,
1997. Prior to shareholder approval, the Agreement (or the
Management Agreement, in the case of Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy
Global Natural Resources Fund) was approved by the Board
(including a majority of the Trustees who are neither
"interested persons," as defined in the 1940 Act, of
the Trust nor have any direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of the distribution plan or
in any related agreement (the "Independent Trustees"))
(i) on August 23, 1993 with respect to Ivy China Region
Fund, (ii) on October 28, 1991 with respect to Ivy
International Fund, (iii) on September 17, 1994 with respect to
Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund and Ivy New Century Fund,
(iv) on September 29, 1994 with respect to each of Ivy
Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, (v)
on June 8, 1996 with respect to Ivy Global Science &

to each of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund and Ivy International Small Companies
Fund, (vii) on February 8, 1997 with respect to Ivy Pan-Europe
Fund, and (viii) on April 29, 1997 with respect to Ivy
International Fund II.

Until January 31, 1995 MIMI served as the manager
and investment adviser to Ivy Global Fund and as
manager to Ivy Canada Fund, which were then series of
The Mackenzie Funds Inc. (the "Company"). On January
31, 1995, MIMI's interest in the Agreement (in the case
of Ivy Global Fund) and in the Management Agreement (in
the case of Ivy Canada Fund) was assigned by MIMI to
IMI, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of MIMI. The
provisions of the Agreement and the Management Agreement remain
unchanged by IMI's succession to MIMI thereunder. MIMI, a
Delaware corporation, has approximately 10% of its
outstanding

common stock listed for trading on the TSE. MIMI is a
subsidiary of MFC, 150 Bloor Street West, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, a public corporation organized under
the laws of Ontario and registered in Ontario as a
mutual fund dealer whose shares are listed for trading
on the TSE. MFC provides investment advisory services to
Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund pursuant
to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "MFC
Agreement"). The MFC Agreement was approved (i) by the
sole shareholder of Ivy Canada Fund on January 27, 1995
and (ii) by the sole shareholder of Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund on December 13, 1996. Prior to
shareholder approval, the MFC Agreement was approved by the Board
(including a majority of Independent Trustees) (i) on
September 29, 1994 with respect to Ivy Canada Fund and
(ii) on December 7, 1996 with respect to Ivy Global
Natural Resources Fund.

IMI currently acts as manager and investment
adviser to the following additional investment
companies registered under the 1940 Act: Ivy Growth
Fund, Ivy Emerging Growth Fund, Ivy Growth with Income
Fund, Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy International Bond Fund and
Ivy Money Market Fund.

The Agreement obligates IMI to make investments
for the accounts of each Fund (except Ivy Canada Fund
and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund) in accordance
with its best judgment and within the investment
objectives and restrictions set forth in the
Prospectus, the 1940 Act and the provisions of the Code
relating to regulated investment companies, subject to policy
decisions adopted by the Board. IMI also determines the
securities to be purchased or sold by these Funds and places
orders with brokers or dealers who deal in such
securities. The Advisory Agreement obligates MFC to
make investments for the account of each of Ivy Canada
Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund, in
accordance with its best judgment and within the
investment objectives and restrictions set forth in the
Prospectus with respect to each of Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global
Natural Resources Fund, the 1940 Act and the provisions
of the Code, relating to regulated investment
companies, subject to policy decisions adopted by the
Board. MFC also determines the securities to be
purchased or sold by each of Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy
Global Natural Resources Fund and places orders with brokers
or dealers who deal in such securities.

Under the Agreement (the Management Agreement with
respect to Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund), IMI also provides certain business
management services. IMI is obligated to (1)
coordinate with each Fund's Custodian and monitor the
services it provides to that Fund; (2) coordinate with
and monitor any other third parties furnishing services to
each Fund; (3) provide each Fund with necessary office space,
telephones and other communications facilities as are
adequate for the particular Fund's needs; (4) provide
the services of individuals competent to perform
administrative and clerical functions that are not
performed by employees or other agents engaged by the
particular Fund or by IMI acting in some other

capacity pursuant to a separate agreement or
arrangements with the Fund; (5) maintain or supervise
the maintenance by third parties of such books and
records of the Trust as may be required by applicable
Federal or state law; (6) authorize and permit IMI's
directors, officers and employees who may be elected or
appointed as trustees or officers of the Trust to serve in such
capacities; and (7) take such other action with respect to
the Trust, after approval by the Trust as may be
required by applicable law, including without
limitation the rules and regulations of the SEC and of
state securities commissions and other regulatory
agencies. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, IMI is
also responsible for reviewing the activities of MFC to
insure that each of Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund is operated in compliance with each such Fund's
investment objectives and policies and with the 1940 Act.

Ivy Global Fund pays IMI a monthly fee for
providing business management and investment advisory
services at an annual rate of 1.00% of the first $500
million of its average net assets, reduced to 0.75% on
average net assets over $500 million. Each of the
other Funds (except Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global
Natural Resources Fund) pays IMI a monthly fee for providing
business management and investment advisory serves at an
annual rate of 1.00% of each of the Fund's average net
assets. Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund each pays IMI a monthly fee for
providing business management services at an annual
rate of 0.50% of each such Fund's average net assets.

For advisory services, Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy
Global Natural Resources Fund each pays MFC a monthly
fee at an annual rate of 0.35% and 0.50%, respectively,
of the average net assets of each such Fund. For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, for the six-month
period ended December 31, 1994 and for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, Ivy Canada Fund paid MFC

fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, IMI
received fees of $96,041 and $93,270, respectively,
from Ivy Canada Fund (of which IMI

reimbursed $63,466 and $0, respectively, pursuant to
required expense limitations) and $239,963 and
$301,433, respectively, from Ivy Global Fund (of which
IMI reimbursed $62,242 and $0 pursuant to voluntary
expense limitations).

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, 1995
and 1996, Ivy International Fund paid IMI fees of
$2,217,950, $3,948,456 and $9,157,858, respectively.

During the period from November 1, 1994

during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and
1996, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund paid IMI fees of

pursuant to required expense limitations and of which IMI
reimbursed $523 and $2,040 and $99,630, respectively, pursuant
to voluntary expense limitations) and Ivy New Century
Fund paid IMI fees of $912, $91,226 and $109,125,
respectively (of which IMI reimbursed $16,415, $87,348
and $0, respectively, pursuant to required expense
limitations and of which IMI reimbursed $512, $3,878
and $67,600, respectively, pursuant to voluntary expense
limitations).

During the period from July 22, 1996 (commencement
of operations) to December 31, 1996, Ivy Global Science
& Technology Fund paid IMI fees of $20,965 (of which
IMI reimbursed $14,813 pursuant to voluntary expense

Fund and Ivy International Small Companies Fund, which
commenced operations on January 1, 1997, or for Ivy
International Fund II or Ivy Pan- Europe Fund, which
commenced operations on May 13, 1997.

Under the Agreement (or the Management Agreement
and the Advisory Agreement with respect to Ivy Canada
Fund and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund), the Trust
pays the following expenses: (1) the fees and expenses
of the Trust's Independent Trustees; (2) the salaries
and expenses of any of the Trust's officers or
employees who are not affiliated with IMI; (3) interest expenses;
(4) taxes and governmental fees, including any original
issue taxes or transfer taxes applicable to the sale or
delivery of shares or certificates therefor; (5)
brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in
acquiring or disposing of portfolio securities; (6) the
expenses of registering and qualifying shares for sale
with the SEC and with various state securities
commissions; (7) accounting and legal costs; (8) insurance
premiums; (9) fees and expenses of the Trust's Custodian and
Transfer Agent and any related services; (10) expenses of
obtaining quotations of portfolio securities and of

Trust's legal existence and of shareholders' meetings;
(12) expenses of preparation and distribution to
existing shareholders of periodic reports, proxy
materials and prospectuses; and (13) fees and expenses of

membership in industry organizations.

IMI currently limits each Fund's (with the
exception of Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy International
Fund) total operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1
fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
litigation and indemnification expenses, and other
extraordinary expenses) to an annual rate of 1.95% (1.50% in the
case of Ivy International Fund II) of the Fund's average
net assets, which may lower that Fund's expenses and
increase its yield. Each Fund's expense limitation may
be terminated or revised at any time, at which time its
expenses may increase and its yield may be reduced.

On August 23-24, 1996, the Board (including a
majority of the Independent Trustees) (i) approved the
continuance of the Agreement with respect to Ivy China
Region Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy International Fund,
Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund and Ivy New Century
Fund and (ii) approved the continuance of the
Management Agreement for Ivy Canada Fund. The initial term of
the Agreement (or the Management Agreement with respect to
Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund) between IMI and each
of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources
Fund and Ivy International Small Companies Fund, which
commenced on January 1, 1997, will run for a period of
two years from the date of commencement. The initial
term of the Agreement between IMI and each of Ivy
International Fund II and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund, which
commenced on May 13, 1997, will run for a period of two years
from the date of commencement. Each Agreement (or
Management Agreement, with respect to Ivy Canada Fund
and Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund) will continue in
effect with respect to each Fund from year to year, or
for more than the initial period, as the case may be,
only so long as the continuance is specifically
approved at least annually (i) by the vote of a majority of the
Independent Trustees and (ii) either (a) by the vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined
in the 1940 Act) of the particular Fund or (b) by the
vote of a majority of the entire Board. If the
question of continuance of the Agreements (or adoption
of any new agreement) is presented to shareholders,
continuance (or adoption) shall be effected only if
approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the particular Fund. See
"Capitalization and Voting Rights."

Each Agreement (or Management Agreement with
respect to Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund) may be terminated with respect to a
particular Fund at any time, without payment of any
penalty, by the vote of a majority of the Board, or by
a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of that Fund, on 60 days' written notice to IMI, or by IMI on 60
days' written notice to the Trust. The Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

SUBADVISORY CONTRACT - IVY INTERNATIONAL FUND.
The Trust and IMI, on behalf of Ivy International Fund,
have entered into a

subadvisory contract with an independent investment
adviser (the "Subadvisory Contract") under which the
subadviser develops, recommends and implements an
investment program and strategy for the Fund's
portfolio and is responsible for making all portfolio
security and brokerage decisions, subject to the supervision of
IMI and, ultimately, the Board. Fees payable under the
Subadvisory Contract accrue daily and are paid quarterly by
IMI. Effective April 1, 1993, Northern Cross serves as
subadviser for Ivy International Fund's portfolio
pursuant to the Subadvisory Contract. As compensation
for its services, Northern Cross is paid a fee by IMI
at the annual rate of 0.60% of Ivy International Fund's
average net assets. As compensation for advisory
services rendered for the fiscal years ended December
31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, IMI paid Northern Cross
$1,330,770, $2,369,074 and $5,494,715, respectively. Northern
Cross, wholly-owned and operated by Hakan Castegren, is the
successor to the investment advisory functions of Boston
Overseas Investors, Inc. ("BOI"), which also was
wholly-owned and operated by Hakan Castegren. Boston
Investor Services, Inc., the successor to the
administrative and research functions of BOI, provides
administrative and research services to Northern Cross.

Any amendment to the current Subadvisory Contract
requires approval by votes of (a) a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of Ivy International Fund
affected thereby and (b) a majority of the Trustees who
are not interested persons of the Trust or of any other
party to such Contract. The Subadvisory Contract
terminates automatically in the event of its assignment
(as defined in the 1940 Act) or upon termination of the
Agreement. Also, the Subadvisory Contract may be terminated by
not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written
notice by either the Trust or IMI or upon not less than
120 days' notice by the Subadviser. The Subadvisory
Contract provides that IMI or the Subadviser shall not
be liable to the Trust, to any shareholder of the
Trust, or to any other person, except for loss
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence
or reckless disregard of duty.

The Subadvisory Contract will continue in effect
(subject to provisions for earlier termination as
described above) only if such continuance is approved
at least annually (a) by a majority of the Trustees who
are not interested persons of the Trust or of any other
party to the Contract and (b) by either (i) a majority
of all of the Trustees of the Trust or (ii) a vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of any Fund affected
thereby. On September 17, 1994, the Board, including a
majority of the Independent Trustees, last approved the
continuance of the Subadvisory Contract.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

IMDI, a wholly owned subsidiary of MIMI, serves as
the exclusive distributor of the Funds' shares pursuant
to an Amended

and Restated Distribution Agreement with the Trust
dated October 23, 1991, as amended from time to time
(the "Distribution Agreement"). The Distribution
Agreement was last approved by the Board on August 25,
1996. At a meeting held on February 8, 1997, the Board
approved the Distribution Agreement on behalf of Ivy
Pan-Europe Fund. At a meeting held on April 29, 1997, the Board
approved the Distribution Agreement on behalf of Ivy
International Fund II. IMDI distributes shares of the Funds
through broker-dealers who are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and who have
executed dealer agreements with IMDI. IMDI distributes
shares of the Funds on a continuous basis, but reserves
the right to suspend or discontinue distribution on
that basis. IMDI is not obligated to sell any specific
amount of Fund shares.

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, IMDI is
entitled to deduct a commission on all Class A Fund
shares sold equal to the difference, if any, between
the public offering price, as set forth in the Funds'
then-current prospectus, and the net asset value on
which such price is based. Out of that commission, IMDI
may reallow to dealers such concession as IMDI may determine from
time to time. In addition, IMDI is entitled to deduct a
CDSC on the redemption of Class A shares sold without
an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C shares
in accordance with, and in the manner set forth in, the
Prospectus.

Under the Distribution Agreement, each Fund bears,
among other expenses, the expenses of registering and
qualifying its shares for sale under federal and state
securities laws and preparing and distributing to
existing shareholders periodic reports, proxy materials
and prospectuses.

During the three months ended September 30, 1993,
MIMI, which at that time was Ivy Canada Fund's
distributor, received from sales of Class A [FN][Shares
of Ivy Canada Fund outstanding as of March 31, 1994
were designated Class A shares of the Fund.] shares of
Ivy Canada Fund $332,241, in sales commissions, of
which $52,414 was retained after dealers' reallowances. During
the nine months ended June 30, 1994, the six-month period
ended December 31, 1994 and the fiscal years ended

Each Distribution Agreement will continue in
effect for successive one-year periods, provided that
such continuance is specifically approved at least
annually by the vote of a majority of the Independent
Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for that
purpose and by the vote of either a majority of the
entire Board or a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of each Fund. Each Distribution Agreement may be
terminated with respect to a particular Fund at any
time, without payment of any penalty, by IMDI on 60
days' written notice to the particular Fund or by a
Fund by vote of either a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund or a majority of the Independent
Trustees on 60 days' written notice to IMDI. Each
Distribution Agreement shall terminate automatically in
the event of its assignment.

RULE 18F-3 PLAN. On February 23, 1995, the SEC
adopted Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act, which permits a
registered open-end investment company to issue
multiple classes of shares in accordance with a written
plan approved by the investment company's board of
directors/trustees and filed with the SEC. At a
meeting held on December 1-2, 1995, the Board adopted a multi-
class plan (the "Rule 18f-3 plan") on behalf of each Fund.
At a meeting held on December 7, 1996, the Board last
approved the Rule 18f-3 plan on behalf of each Fund.
At a meeting held on February 8, 1997, the Board
adopted the Rule 18f-3 plan on behalf of Ivy Pan-Europe
Fund. At a meeting held on April 29, 1997, the Board
adopted the Rule 18f-3 plan on behalf of Ivy International
Fund II. The key features of the Rule 18f-3 plan are as
follows: (i) shares of each class of a Fund represent
an equal pro rata interest in that Fund and generally
have identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other
rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations,
qualifications, terms and conditions, except that each
class bears certain class-specific expenses and has
separate voting rights on certain matters that relate solely
to that class or in which the interests of shareholders of
one class differ from the interests of shareholders of
another class; (ii) subject to certain limitations
described in the Prospectus, shares of a particular
class of a Fund may be exchanged for shares of the same
class of another Ivy or Mackenzie fund; and (iii) a
Fund's Class B shares will convert automatically into
Class A shares of that Fund after a period of eight years, based
on the relative net asset value of such shares at the
time of conversion.

RULE 12B-1 DISTRIBUTION PLANS. The Trust has
adopted on behalf of each Fund, in accordance with Rule
12b-1 under the 1940 Act, separate Rule 12b-1
distribution plans pertaining to the Funds' Class A,
Class B and Class C shares (each, a "Plan"). In
adopting each Plan, a majority of the Independent Trustees
concluded in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1
that there is a reasonable likelihood that each Plan
will benefit each Fund and its shareholders. The
Trustees of the Trust believe that the Plans should
result in greater sales and/or fewer redemptions of
each Fund's shares, although it is impossible to know
for certain the level of sales and redemptions of a Fund's
shares in the absence of a Plan or under an alternative
distribution arrangement.

Under each Plan, each Fund pays IMDI a service
fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate
of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets
attributable to its Class A, Class B or Class C shares,
as the case may be. The services for which service
fees may be paid include, among other things, advising
clients or customers regarding the purchase, sale or retention of
shares of the Fund, answering routine inquiries
concerning the Fund and assisting shareholders in
changing options or enrolling in specific plans.
Pursuant to each Plan, service fee payments made out of
or charged against the assets attributable to a Fund's
Class A, Class B or Class C shares must be in

reimbursement for services rendered for or on behalf of
the affected class. The expenses not reimbursed in any
one month may be reimbursed in a subsequent month. The
Class A Plan (other than the Class A Plan for Ivy
Canada Fund) does not provide for the payment of
interest or carrying charges as distribution expenses.

Under the Funds' Class B and Class C Plans, each
Fund also pays IMDI a distribution fee, accrued daily
and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of the
average daily net assets attributable to its Class B or
Class C shares. Ivy Canada Fund also pays IMDI a
distribution fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at
the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily assets
attributable to its Class A shares. IMDI may reallow to dealers
all or a portion of the service and distribution fees as
IMDI may determine from time to time. The distribution
fee compensates IMDI for expenses incurred in
connection with activities primarily intended to result
in the sale of the Funds' Class B or Class C shares
(and Class A shares, in the case of Ivy Canada Fund),
including the printing of prospectuses and reports for
persons other than existing shareholders and the preparation,
printing and distribution of sales literature and
advertising materials. Pursuant to each Class B and
Class C Plan (and Ivy Canada Fund's Class A Plan), IMDI
may include interest, carrying or other finance charges
in its calculation of distribution expenses, if not
prohibited from doing so pursuant to an order of or a
regulation adopted by the SEC.

Among other things, each Plan provides that (1)
IMDI will submit to the Board at least quarterly, and
the Trustees will review, written reports regarding all
amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for
which such expenditures were made; (2) each Plan will
continue in effect only so long as such continuance is
approved at least annually, and any material amendment
thereto is approved, by the votes of a majority of the
Board, including the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a
meeting called for that purpose; (3) payments by each Fund
under each Plan shall not be materially increased
without the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the relevant
class; and (4) while each Plan is in effect, the
selection and nomination of Trustees who are not
"interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust
shall be committed to the discretion of the Trustees who
are not "interested persons" of the Trust.

IMDI may make payments for distribution assistance
and for administrative and accounting services from
resources that may include the management fees paid (to
MIMI, in the case of Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global
Natural Resources Fund) by a Fund. IMDI also may make
payments (such as the service fee payments described
above) to unaffiliated broker-dealers for services
rendered in the distribution of each Fund's shares. To qualify
for such payments, shares may be subject to a minimum
holding period. However, no such payments will be made
to any dealer or

broker if at the end of each year the amount of shares
held does not exceed a minimum amount. The minimum
holding period and minimum level of holdings will be
determined from time to time by IMDI.

A report of the amount expended pursuant to each
Plan, and the purposes for which such expenditures were
incurred, must be made to the Board for its review at
least quarterly.

CUSTODIAN

Pursuant to a Custodian Agreement with the Trust,
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the "Custodian"), a
private bank and member of the principal securities
exchanges, located at 40 Water Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109, maintains custody of the assets of
each Fund held in the United States. Under the
Custodian Agreement, Brown Brothers also provides certain
financial services for Ivy International Fund, including
bookkeeping, computation of daily net asset value, maintenance
of income, expense and brokerage records, and provision
of all information required by the Trust in order to
satisfy its reporting and filing requirements. Rules
adopted under the 1940 Act permit the Trust to maintain
its foreign securities (Canadian securities, with
respect to Ivy Canada Fund and Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund) and cash in the custody of certain
eligible foreign banks and securities depositories (and certain
eligible Canadian banks and securities depositories, with

ability to provide best price and execution.

TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND PAYING AGENT

Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Shareholder
Service Agreement, IMSC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
MIMI, is the transfer agent for each Fund. Each Fund
(except for the Class I Funds with respect to their
Class I shares) pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of
$20.00 for each open Class A, Class B and Class C
account. The Class I Funds pay $10.25 per open Class I
account. In addition, each Fund pays a monthly fee at an annual
rate of $4.48 per account that is closed plus certain
out-of- pocket expenses. Such fees and expenses for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 for Ivy Canada
Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy

Ivy New Century Fund totalled $100,986, $105,576,
$68,182, $1,264,586, $14,143 and $25,994, respectively.
Such fees and expenses for the period from July 22, 1996
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 1996 for Ivy Global

were made by Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund and Ivy International Small Companies
Fund, which commenced operations on January 1, 1997, or
Ivy International Fund II or Ivy Pan-Europe Fund, which
commenced operations on May 13, 1997. Certain broker-
dealers that maintain shareholder accounts with a Fund
through an omnibus account provide transfer agent and other
shareholder-related services that would otherwise be provided
by IMSC if the individual accounts that comprise the
omnibus account were opened by their beneficial owners
directly. IMSC pays such broker-dealers a per account
fee for each open account within the

omnibus account, or a fixed rate (e.g., .10%) fee,
based on the average daily net asset value of the
omnibus account (or a combination thereof).

ADMINISTRATOR

Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement,
MIMI provides certain administrative services to each
Fund. As compensation for these services, each Fund
(except for the Class I Funds with respect to their
Class I shares) pays MIMI a monthly fee at the annual
rate of .10% of that Fund's average daily net assets.
The Class I Funds pay MIMI a monthly fee at the annual
rate of .01% of its average daily net assets for Class I. Such
fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 for Ivy
Canada Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Global Fund,
Ivy International Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund

December 31, 1996, none of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy
Global Natural Resources Fund, Ivy International Fund
II, Ivy International Small Companies Fund and Ivy Pan-
Europe Fund had commenced operations.

Outside of providing administrative services to
the Trust, as described above, MIMI may also act on
behalf of IMDI in paying commissions to broker-dealers
with respect to sales of Class B and Class C shares of
each Fund.

as auditors for the Trust. The audit services

CAPITALIZATION AND VOTING RIGHTS

Ivy Canada Fund results from a reorganization of
Mackenzie Canada Fund, a series of the Company, which
reorganization was approved by shareholders on January
27, 1995. Ivy Global Fund results from a
reorganization of Mackenzie Global Fund, which
reorganization was approved by shareholders on January 27, 1995.
The capitalization of the Trust consists of an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest (no par value
per share). When issued, shares of each class of each
Fund are fully paid, non- assessable, redeemable and
fully transferable. No class of shares of a Fund has
preemptive rights or subscription rights.

The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
permits the Trustees to create separate series or
portfolios and to divide any series or portfolio into
one or more classes. The Trustees have authorized
eighteen series, each of which represents a fund. The
Trustees have further authorized the issuance of
Classes A, B and C for Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Bond
Fund, Ivy Canada Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Emerging
Growth Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources
Fund, Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy Growth
Fund, Ivy Growth with Income Fund, Ivy International
Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy International Bond
Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy Money Market
Fund, Ivy New Century Fund and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund, as
well as Class I shares for Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy Global
Science & Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund II, Ivy
International Fund and Ivy International Small Companies Fund,
and Class D for Ivy Growth with Income Fund. [FN][The
Class D shares of Ivy Growth with Income Fund were
initially issued as "Ivy Growth with Income Fund --
Class C" to shareholders of Mackenzie Growth & Income
Fund, a former series of the Company, in connection
with the reorganization between that fund and Ivy
Growth with Income Fund and not offered for sale to the public.
On February 29, 1996, the Trustees of the Trust resolved
by written consent to establish a new class of shares
designated as "Class C" for all Ivy Fund portfolios and
to redesignate the shares of beneficial interest of
"Ivy Growth with Income Fund-- Class C" as shares of
beneficial interest of "Ivy Growth with Income Fund--
Class D," which establishment and redesignation,
respectively, became effective on April 30, 1996. The voting,
dividend, liquidation and other rights, preferences, powers,
restrictions, limitations, qualifications, terms and
conditions of the Class D shares of Ivy Growth with
Income Fund, as set forth in Ivy Fund's Declaration of
Trust, as amended from time to time, will not be
changed by this redesignation.]

Shareholders have the right to vote for the
election of Trustees of the Trust and on any and all
matters on which they may be entitled to vote by law or
by the provisions of the Trust's By-Laws. The Trust is
not required to hold a regular annual meeting of
shareholders, and it does not intend to do so. Shares
of each class of each Fund entitle their holders to one
vote per share (with proportionate voting for fractional shares).
Shareholders of a Fund are entitled to vote alone on
matters that only affect that Fund. All classes of
shares of a Fund will vote together, except with
respect to the distribution plan applicable to that
Fund's Class A, Class B or Class C shares or when a class
vote is required by the 1940 Act. On matters relating to all
funds of the Trust, but affecting the funds differently,
separate votes by the shareholders of each fund are
required. Approval of an investment advisory agreement
and a change in fundamental policies would be regarded
as matters requiring separate voting by the
shareholders of each fund of the Trust. If the Trustees
determine that a matter does not affect the interests of a Fund,
then the shareholders of that Fund will not be entitled
to vote on that matter. Matters that affect the Trust
in general, such

as ratification of the selection of independent public
accountants, will be voted upon collectively by the
shareholders of all funds of the Trust.

As used in this SAI and the Prospectus, the phrase
"majority vote of the outstanding shares" of a Fund
means the vote of the lesser of: (1) 67% of the shares
of that Fund (or of the Trust) present at a meeting if
the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares
are present in person or by proxy; or (2) more than 50%
of the outstanding shares of that Fund (or of the
Trust).

With respect to the submission to shareholder vote
of a matter requiring separate voting by a Fund, the
matter shall have been effectively acted upon with
respect to that Fund if a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of that Fund votes for the approval
of the matter, notwithstanding that: (1) the matter
has not been approved by a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of any other fund of the Trust; or (2) the
matter has not been approved by a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Trust.

The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
provides that the holders of not less than two-thirds
of the outstanding shares of the Trust may remove a
person serving as trustee either by declaration in
writing or at a meeting called for such purpose. The
Trustees are required to call a meeting for the purpose of
considering the removal of a person serving as Trustee if
requested in writing to do so by the holders of not less than
10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust.
Shareholders will be assisted in communicating with
other shareholders in connection with the removal of a
Trustee as if Section 26(c) of the Act were applicable.

The Trust's shares do not have cumulative voting
rights and accordingly the holders of more than 50% of
the outstanding shares could elect the entire Board, in
which case the holders of the remaining shares would
not be able to elect any Trustees.

To the knowledge of the Trust, as of April 30,
1997, no shareholder owned beneficially or of record 5%

Under Massachusetts law, the Trust's shareholders
could, under certain circumstances, be held personally
liable for the obligations of the Trust. However, the
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust disclaims
liability of the shareholders, Trustees or officers of
the Trust for acts or obligations of the Trust, which
are binding only on the assets and property of the
Trust, and requires that notice of the disclaimer be given in
each contract or obligation entered into or executed by the
Trust or its Trustees. The Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out
of Fund property for all loss and expense of any
shareholder of a Fund held personally liable for the
obligations of that Fund. The risk of a shareholder of
the Trust incurring financial loss on account of shareholder
liability is limited to circumstances in which the Trust
itself would be unable to meet its obligations and,
thus, should be considered remote. No series of the
Trust is liable for the obligations of any other series
of the Trust. However, because the Prospectus pertains
to more than one Fund, it is possible that one of the
Funds to which the Prospectus pertains might become
liable for any misstatement, inaccuracy, or incomplete
disclosure in the Prospectus concerning any other Fund to which
the Prospectus pertains.

NET ASSET VALUE

The share price, or value, for the separate
Classes of shares of a Fund is called the net asset
value per share. The net asset value per share of a
Fund is computed by dividing the value of the assets of
that Fund, less its liabilities, by the number of
shares of the particular Fund outstanding. For
purposes of determining the aggregate net assets of a Fund, cash
and receivables will be valued at their realizable
amounts. A security listed or traded on a recognized
stock exchange or NASDAQ is valued at its last sale
price on the principal exchange on which the security
is traded. The value of a foreign security is
determined in its national currency as of the normal close of
trading on the foreign exchange on which it is traded or as
of the close of regular trading on the Exchange, if
that is earlier, and that value is then converted into
its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate
in effect at noon, eastern time, on the day the value
of the foreign security is determined. If no sale is
reported at that time, the average between the current
bid and asked price is used. All other securities for which OTC
market quotations are readily available are valued at the
average between the current bid and asked price.
Interest will be recorded as accrued. Securities and
other assets for which market prices are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined by IMI
and approved in good faith by the Board. Money market
instruments of the Fund are valued at amortized

cost, which approximates money market value.

A Fund's liabilities are allocated between its
Classes. The total of such liabilities allocated to a
Class plus that Class's distribution fee and any other
expenses specially allocated to that Class are then
deducted from the Class's proportionate interest in
that Fund's assets, and the resulting amount for each
Class is divided by the number of shares of that Class
outstanding to produce the net asset value per share.

Portfolio securities are valued and net asset
value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m.,
eastern time), every Monday through Friday (exclusive
of national business holidays). The Trust's offices
will be closed, and net asset value will not be
calculated, on the following national business holidays: New
Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas
Day. On those days when either or both of the Funds'
Custodian or the Exchange close early as a result of
such day being a partial holiday or otherwise, the
Trust reserves the right to advance the time on that
day by which purchase and redemption requests must be
received.

When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to
the premium received by that Fund is included in that
Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset
and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the
liability will be subsequently marked-to-market daily
to reflect the current market value of the option
written. The current market value of a written option is
the last sale on the principal exchange on which such option is
traded or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering
price.

The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a
call or a put option will be deducted from its assets
and an equal amount will be included in the asset
section of that Fund's Statement of Assets and
Liabilities as an investment and subsequently adjusted
to the current market value of the option. For example, if the
current market value of the option exceeds the premium
paid, the excess would be unrealized appreciation and,
conversely, if the premium exceeds the current market
value, such excess would be unrealized depreciation.
The current market value of a purchased option will be
the last sale price on the principal exchange on which
the option is traded or, in the absence of a sale, the last
bid price. If a Fund exercises a call option which it has
purchased, the cost of the security which that Fund
purchased upon exercise will be increased by the
premium originally paid.

The sale of shares of a Fund will be suspended
during any period when the determination of its net
asset value is suspended pursuant to rules or orders of
the SEC and may be suspended by the Board whenever in
its judgment it is in the best interest of the
particular Fund to do so.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

Each Fund purchases securities that are believed
by IMI to have above average potential for capital
appreciation. Common stocks are disposed of in
situations where it is believed that potential for such
appreciation has lessened or that other common stocks
have a greater potential. Therefore, a Fund may purchase
and sell securities without regard to the length of time the
security is to be, or has been, held. A change in
securities held by a Fund is known as "portfolio
turnover" and may involve the payment by that Fund of
dealer markup or underwriting commission and other
transaction costs on the sale of securities, as well as
on the reinvestment of the proceeds in other
securities. A Fund's portfolio turnover rate is calculated by
dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio
securities for the most recently completed fiscal year
by the monthly average of the value of the portfolio
securities owned by the Fund during that year. For
purposes of determining a Fund's portfolio turnover
rate, all securities whose maturities at the time of
acquisition were one year or less are excluded. The
annual portfolio turnover rates for the Funds are provided in the
Prospectus under "The Funds' Financial Highlights."

REDEMPTIONS

Shares of each Fund are redeemed at their net
asset value next determined after a proper redemption
request has been received by IMSC, less any applicable
CDSC.

Unless a shareholder requests that the proceeds of
any redemption be wired to his or her bank account,
payment for shares tendered for redemption is made by
check within seven days after tender in proper form,
except that the Trust reserves the right to suspend the
right of redemption or to postpone the date of payment
upon redemption beyond seven days, (i) for any period
during which the Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings) or during which trading on the
Exchange is restricted, (ii) for any period during
which an emergency exists as determined by the SEC as a
result of which disposal of securities owned by a Fund
is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable for the Fund to fairly determine the value
of its net assets, or (iii) for such other periods as the
SEC may by order permit for the protection of shareholders of a
Fund.

Under unusual circumstances, when the Board deems
it in the best interest of a Fund's shareholders, the
Fund may make payment for shares repurchased or
redeemed in whole or in part in securities of that Fund
taken at current values. If any such redemption in
kind is to be made, each Fund intends to make an
election pursuant to Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act. This will
require the particular Fund to redeem with cash at a
shareholder's election in any case where the redemption
involves less than $250,000 (or 1% of that Fund's net
asset value at the

beginning of each 90-day period during which such
redemptions are in effect, if that amount is less than
$250,000). Should payment be made in securities, the
redeeming shareholder may incur brokerage costs in
converting such securities to cash.

The Trust may redeem those accounts of
shareholders who have maintained an investment,
including sales charges paid, of less than $1,000 in a
Fund for a period of more than 12 months. All accounts
below that minimum will be redeemed simultaneously when
MIMI deems it advisable. The $1,000 balance will be determined
by actual dollar amounts invested by the shareholder,
unaffected by market fluctuations. The Trust will
notify any such shareholder by certified mail of its
intention to redeem such account, and the shareholder
shall have 60 days from the date of such letter to
invest such additional sums as shall raise the value of
such account above that minimum. Should the shareholder
fail to forward such sum within 60 days of the date of the
Trust's letter of notification, the Trust will redeem the
shares held in such account and transmit the redemption
in value thereof to the shareholder. However, those
shareholders who are investing pursuant to the
Automatic Investment Method will not be redeemed
automatically unless they have ceased making payments
pursuant to the plan for a period of at least six consecutive
months, and these shareholders will be given six-months'
notice by the Trust before such redemption.
Shareholders in a qualified retirement, pension or
profit sharing plan who wish to avoid tax consequences
must "rollover" any sum so redeemed into another
qualified plan within 60 days. The Trustees of the Trust may
change the minimum account size.

If a shareholder has given authorization for
telephonic redemption privilege, shares can be redeemed
and proceeds sent by Federal wire to a single
previously designated bank account. Delivery of the
proceeds of a wire redemption request of $250,000 or
more may be delayed by a Fund for up to seven days if deemed
appropriate under then-current market conditions. The Trust
reserves the right to change this minimum or to terminate
the telephonic redemption privilege without prior
notice. The Trust cannot be responsible for the
efficiency of the Federal wire system of the
shareholder's dealer of record or bank. The
shareholder is responsible for any charges by the shareholder's
bank.

Each Fund employs reasonable procedures that
require personal identification prior to acting on
redemption or exchange instructions communicated by
telephone to confirm that such instructions are
genuine. In the absence of such instructions, a Fund
may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent telephone instructions.

CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES

As described in the Prospectus, Class B shares of
each Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares
of the respective

Fund, based on the relative net asset values per share
of the two classes, no later than the month following
the eighth anniversary of the initial issuance of such
Class B shares of the particular Fund occurs. For the
purpose of calculating the holding period required for
conversion of Class B shares, the date of initial
issuance shall mean: (1) the date on which such Class B shares
were issued, or (2) for Class B shares obtained through an
exchange, or a series of exchanges, (subject to the
exchange privileges for Class B shares) the date on
which the original Class B shares were issued. For
purposes of conversion of Class B shares, Class B
shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends
and capital gain distributions paid in respect of Class
B shares will be held in a separate sub-account. Each time
any Class B shares in the shareholder's regular account (other
than those shares in the sub-account) convert to Class A
shares, a pro rata portion of the Class B shares in the
sub-account will also convert to Class A shares. The
portion will be determined by the ratio that the
shareholder's Class B shares converting to Class A
shares bears to the shareholder's total Class B shares
not acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and capital
gain distributions.

TAXATION

The following is a general discussion of certain
tax rules thought to be applicable with respect to the
Funds. It is merely a summary and is not an exhaustive
discussion of all possible situations or of all
potentially applicable taxes. Accordingly,
shareholders and prospective shareholders should consult a
competent tax advisor about the tax consequences to them of
investing in the Funds.

Each Fund intends to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Code.
Accordingly, each Fund must, among other things, (a)
derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross
income from dividends, interest, payments with respect
to certain securities loans, and gains from the sale or
other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies,
or other income derived with respect to its business of
investing in such stock, securities or currencies; (b)
derive in each taxable year less than 30% of its gross
income from the sale or other disposition of certain
assets held less than three months, namely: (i) stock
or securities; (ii) options, futures, or forward
contracts (other than those on foreign currencies); or
(iii) foreign currencies (or options, futures, or forward
contracts on foreign currencies) that are not directly related
to the particular Fund's principal business of
investing in stock or securities (or options and
futures with respect to stock or securities) (the "30%
Limitation"); and (c) diversify its holdings so that,
at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) at least 50% of
the market value of the particular Fund's assets is
represented by cash, U.S. Government securities, the securities
of other regulated investment companies and other
securities, with such other securities limited, in
respect of any one issuer,

to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the
particular Fund's total assets and 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii)
not more than 25% of the value of its total assets is
invested in the securities of any one issuer (other
than U.S. Government securities and the securities of
other regulated investment companies).

As a regulated investment company, each Fund
generally will not be subject to U.S. Federal income
tax on its income and gains that it distributes to
shareholders, if at least 90% of its investment company
taxable income (which includes, among other items,
dividends, interest and the excess of any short-term
capital gains over long-term capital losses) for the taxable year
is distributed. Each Fund intends to distribute all
such income.

Amounts not distributed on a timely basis in
accordance with a calendar year distribution
requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% excise
tax at the Fund level. To avoid the tax, each Fund
must distribute during each calendar year, (1) at least
98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital
gains or losses) for the calendar year, (2) at least 98%
of its capital gains in excess of its capital losses
(adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year
period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar
year, and (3) all ordinary income and capital gains for
previous years that were not distributed during such
years. To avoid application of the excise tax, each
Fund intends to make distributions in accordance with the
calendar year distribution requirements. A distribution will be
treated as paid on December 31 of the current calendar
year if it is declared by the particular Fund in
October, November or December of the year with a record
date in such a month and paid by that Fund during
January of the following year. Such distributions will
be taxable to shareholders in the calendar year the
distributions are declared, rather than the calendar
year in which the distributions are received.

OPTIONS, FUTURES AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS

The taxation of equity options and OTC options on
debt securities is governed by Code section 1234.
Pursuant to Code section 1234, the premium received by
a Fund for selling a put or call option is not included
in income at the time of receipt. If the option
expires, the premium is short-term capital gain to the
Fund. If the Fund enters into a closing transaction, the
difference between the amount paid to close out its position and
the premium received is short-term capital gain or loss.
If a call option written by a Fund is exercised,
thereby requiring the Fund to sell the underlying
security, the premium will increase the amount realized
upon the sale of such security and any resulting gain
or loss will be a capital gain or loss, and will be
long-term or short-term depending upon the holding period of
the security. With respect to a put or call option that is
purchased by a Fund, if the option is sold, any resulting
gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss, and will
be long-term or

short-term, depending upon the holding period of the
option. If the option expires, the resulting loss is a
capital loss and is long-term or short-term, depending
upon the holding period of the option. If the option
is exercised, the cost of the option, in the case of a
call option, is added to the basis of the purchased
security and, in the case of a put option, reduces the amount
realized on the underlying security in determining gain or
loss.

Some of the options, futures and foreign currency
forward contracts in which a Fund may invest may be
"section 1256 contracts." Gains (or losses) on these
contracts generally are considered to be 60% long-term
and 40% short-term capital gains or losses; however, as
described below, foreign currency gains or losses
arising from certain section 1256 contracts are ordinary
in character. Also, section 1256 contracts held by a Fund at the
end of each taxable year (and on certain other dates
prescribed in the Code) are "marked-to-market" with the
result that unrealized gains or losses are treated as
though they were realized.

The transactions in options, futures and forward
contracts undertaken by a Fund may result in
"straddles" for Federal income tax purposes. The
straddle rules may affect the character of gains or
losses realized by a Fund. In addition, losses realized
by a Fund on positions that are part of a straddle may be
deferred under the straddle rules, rather than being taken into
account in calculating the taxable income for the taxable
year in which such losses are realized. Because only a
few regulations implementing the straddle rules have
been promulgated, the consequences of such transactions
to a Fund are not entirely clear. The straddle rules
may increase the amount of short-term capital gain
realized by a Fund, which is taxed as ordinary income
when distributed to shareholders.

A Fund may make one or more of the elections
available under the Code which are applicable to
straddles. If a Fund makes any of the elections, the
amount, character and timing of the recognition of
gains or losses from the affected straddle positions
will be determined under rules that vary according to
the election(s) made. The rules applicable under certain of the
elections may operate to accelerate the recognition of
gains or losses from the affected straddle positions.

Because application of the straddle rules may
affect the character of gains or losses, defer losses
and/or accelerate the recognition of gains or losses
from the affected straddle positions, the amount which
must be distributed to shareholders as ordinary income
or long-term capital gain may be increased or decreased
substantially as compared to a fund that did not engage
in such transactions.

The 30% Limitation and the diversification
requirements applicable to a Fund's assets may limit
the extent to which a Fund will be able to engage in
transactions in options, futures

and forward contracts.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS -- "SECTION 988" GAINS OR LOSSES

Gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in
exchange rates which occur between the time a Fund
accrues receivables or liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency and the time the Fund actually
collects such receivables or pays such liabilities
generally are treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss.
Similarly, on disposition of some investments, including debt
securities denominated in a foreign currency and certain
options, futures and forward contracts, gains or losses
attributable to fluctuations in the value of the
foreign currency between the date of acquisition of the
security or contract and the date of disposition also
are treated as ordinary gain or loss. These gains and
losses, referred to under the Code as "section 988"
gains or losses, increase or decrease the amount of a Fund's
investment company taxable income available to be distributed
to its shareholders as ordinary income.

INVESTMENT IN PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANIES

A Fund may invest in shares of foreign
corporations which may be classified under the Code as
passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"). In
general, a foreign corporation is classified as a PFIC
if at least one-half of its assets constitute
investment-type assets, or 75% or more of its gross
income is investment-type income. If a Fund receives a so-called
"excess distribution" with respect to PFIC stock, the
Fund itself may be subject to a tax on a portion of the
excess distribution, whether or not the corresponding
income is distributed by the Fund to shareholders. In
general, under the PFIC rules, an excess distribution
is treated as having been realized ratably over the
period during which a Fund held the PFIC shares. A Fund
itself will be subject to tax on the portion, if any, of an
excess distribution that is so allocated to prior Fund taxable
years and an interest factor will be added to the tax,
as if the tax had been payable in such prior taxable
years. Certain distributions from a PFIC as well as
gain from the sale of PFIC shares are treated as excess
distributions. Excess distributions are characterized
as ordinary income even though, absent application of
the PFIC rules, certain excess distributions might have
been classified as capital gain.

A Fund may be eligible to elect alternative tax
treatment with respect to PFIC shares. Under an
election that currently is available in some
circumstances, a Fund generally would be required to
include in its gross income its share of the earnings
of a PFIC on a current basis, regardless of whether distributions
are received from the PFIC in a given year. If this
election were made, the special rules, discussed above,
relating to the taxation of excess distributions, would
not apply. In addition, other elections may become
available that would affect the tax treatment of PFIC
shares held by a Fund.

DEBT SECURITIES ACQUIRED AT A DISCOUNT

Some of the debt securities (with a fixed maturity
date of more than one year from the date of issuance)
that may be acquired by a Fund may be treated as debt
securities that are issued originally at a discount.
Generally, the amount of the original issue discount
("OID") is treated as interest income and is included
in income over the term of the debt security, even
though payment of that amount is not received until a later time,
usually when the debt security matures.

If a Fund invests in certain high yield original
issue discount obligations issued by corporations, a
portion of the original issue discount accruing on the
obligation may be eligible for the deduction for
dividends received by corporations. In such event,
dividends of investment company taxable income received
from the Fund by its corporate shareholders, to the
extent attributable to such portion of accrued original
issue discount, may be eligible for this deduction for
dividends received by corporations if so designated by
the Fund in a written notice to shareholders.

Some of the debt securities (with a fixed maturity
date of more than one year from the date of issuance)
that may be acquired by a Fund in the secondary market
may be treated as having market discount. Generally,
gain recognized on the disposition of, and any partial
payment of principal on, a debt security having market
discount is treated as ordinary income to the extent
the gain, or principal payment, does not exceed the
"accrued market discount" on such debt security. In addition,
the deduction of any interest expenses attributable to debt
securities having market discount may be deferred.
Market discount generally accrues in equal daily
installments. A Fund may make one or more of the
elections applicable to debt securities having market
discount, which could affect the character and timing
of recognition of income.

Some debt securities (with a fixed maturity date
of one year or less from the date of issuance) that may
be acquired by a Fund may be treated as having
acquisition discount, or OID in the case of certain
types of debt securities. Generally, a Fund will be
required to include the acquisition discount, or OID, in income
over the term of the debt security, even though payment of
that amount is not received until a later time, usually
when the debt security matures. A Fund may make one or
more of the elections applicable to debt securities
having acquisition discount, or OID, which could affect
the character and timing of recognition of income.

A Fund generally will be required to distribute
dividends to shareholders representing discount on debt
securities that is currently includible in income, even
though cash representing such income may not have been
received by a Fund. Cash to pay such dividends may be
obtained from sales proceeds of securities

held by a Fund.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions of investment company taxable income
are taxable to a U.S. shareholder as ordinary income,
whether paid in cash or shares. Dividends paid by a
Fund to a corporate shareholder, to the extent such
dividends are attributable to dividends received from
U.S. corporations by the Fund, may qualify for the
dividends received deduction. However, the revised
alternative minimum tax applicable to corporations may
reduce the value of the dividends received deduction.
Distributions of net capital gains (the excess of net long-term
capital gains over net short-term capital losses), if any,
designated by a Fund as capital gain dividends, are
taxable as long-term capital gains, whether paid in
cash or in shares, regardless of how long the
shareholder has held a Fund's shares and are not
eligible for the dividends received deduction.
Shareholders receiving distributions in the form of newly issued
shares will have a cost basis in each share received
equal to the net asset value of a share of a Fund on
the distribution date. A distribution of an amount in
excess of a Fund's current and accumulated earnings and
profits will be treated by a shareholder as a return of
capital which is applied against and reduces the
shareholder's basis in his or her shares. To the extent that the
amount of any such distribution exceeds the
shareholder's basis in his or her shares, the excess
will be treated by the shareholder as gain from a sale
or exchange of the shares. Shareholders will be
notified annually as to the U.S. Federal tax status of
distributions and shareholders receiving distributions
in the form of newly issued shares will receive a report as to
the net asset value of the shares received.

If the net asset value of shares is reduced below
a shareholder's cost as a result of a distribution by a
Fund, such distribution generally will be taxable even
though it represents a return of invested capital.
Shareholders should be careful to consider the tax
implications of buying shares just prior to a
distribution. The price of shares purchased at this time may
reflect the amount of the forthcoming distribution. Those
purchasing just prior to a distribution will receive a
distribution which generally will be taxable to them.

DISPOSITION OF SHARES

Upon a redemption, sale or exchange of his or her
shares, a shareholder will realize a taxable gain or
loss depending upon his or her basis in the shares.
Such gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or
loss if the shares are capital assets in the
shareholder's hands and generally will be long-term or
short-term, depending upon the shareholder's holding period for
the shares. Any loss realized on a redemption sale or
exchange will be disallowed to the extent the shares
disposed of are replaced (including through
reinvestment of dividends) within a

period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending
30 days after the shares are disposed of. In such a
case, the basis of the shares acquired will be adjusted
to reflect the disallowed loss. Any loss realized by a
shareholder on the sale of Fund shares held by the
shareholder for six-months or less will be treated for
tax purposes as a long-term capital loss to the extent
of any distributions of capital gain dividends received or
treated as having been received by the shareholder with respect
to such shares.

In some cases, shareholders will not be permitted
to take all or portion of their sales loads into
account for purposes of determining the amount of gain
or loss realized on the disposition of their shares.
This prohibition generally applies where (1) the
shareholder incurs a sales load in acquiring the shares
of a Fund, (2) the shares are disposed of before the 91st
day after the date on which they were acquired, and (3) the
shareholder subsequently acquires shares in a Fund or another
regulated investment company and the otherwise
applicable sales charge is reduced under a
"reinvestment right" received upon the initial purchase
of Fund shares. The term "reinvestment right" means
any right to acquire shares of one or more regulated
investment companies without the payment of a sales load or with
the payment of a reduced sales charge. Sales charges
affected by this rule are treated as if they were
incurred with respect to the shares acquired under the
reinvestment right. This provision may be applied to
successive acquisitions of fund shares.

FOREIGN WITHHOLDING TAXES

Income received by a Fund from sources within a
foreign country may be subject to withholding and other
taxes imposed by that country.

If more than 50% of the value of a Fund's total
assets at the close of its taxable year consists of
securities of foreign corporations, the Fund will be
eligible and may elect to "pass- through" to that Fund's
shareholders the amount of foreign income and similar
taxes paid by that Fund. Pursuant to this election, a
shareholder will be required to include in gross income (in
addition to taxable dividends actually received) his or her
pro rata share of the foreign income and similar taxes
paid by a Fund, and will be entitled either to deduct
his or her pro rata share of foreign income and similar
taxes in computing his or her taxable income or to use
it as a foreign tax credit against his or her U.S.
Federal income taxes, subject to limitations. No
deduction for foreign taxes may be claimed by a shareholder who
does not itemize deductions. Foreign taxes generally may
not be deducted by a shareholder that is an individual
in computing the alternative minimum tax. Each
shareholder will be notified within 60 days after the
close of a Fund's taxable year whether the foreign
taxes paid by the Fund will "pass-through" for that
year and, if so, such notification will designate (1) the
shareholder's portion of the foreign taxes paid to each such

country and (2) the portion of the dividend which
represents income derived from sources within each such
country.

Generally, a credit for foreign taxes is subject
to the limitation that it may not exceed the
shareholder's U.S. tax attributable to his or her total
foreign source taxable income. For this purpose, if a
Fund makes the election described in the preceding
paragraph, the source of that Fund's income flows
through to its shareholders. With respect to a Fund, gains from
the sale of securities generally will be treated as
derived from U.S. sources and section 988 gains will be
treated as ordinary income derived from U.S. sources.
The limitation on the foreign tax credit is applied
separately to foreign source passive income, including
foreign source passive income received from a Fund. In
addition, the foreign tax credit may offset only 90% of
the revised alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations and
individuals.

The foregoing is only a general description of the
foreign tax credit under current law. Because
application of the credit depends on the particular
circumstances of each shareholder, shareholders are
advised to consult their own tax advisers.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING

Each Fund will be required to report to the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") all taxable
distributions as well as gross proceeds from the
redemption of the particular Fund's shares, except in
the case of certain exempt shareholders. All such
distributions and proceeds will be subject to withholding of
Federal income tax at a rate of 31% ("backup withholding") in
the case of non-exempt shareholders if (1) the
shareholder fails to furnish a Fund with and to certify
the shareholder's correct taxpayer identification
number or social security number, (2) the IRS notifies
the shareholder or the particular Fund that the
shareholder has failed to report properly certain interest and
dividend income to the IRS and to respond to notices to
that effect, or (3) when required to do so, the
shareholder fails to certify that he or she is not
subject to backup withholding. If the withholding
provisions are applicable, any such distributions or
proceeds, whether reinvested in additional shares or taken in
cash, will be reduced by the amounts required to be
withheld.

Distributions may also be subject to additional
state, local and foreign taxes depending on each
shareholder's particular situation. Non-U.S.
shareholders may be subject to U.S. tax rules that
differ significantly from those summarized above. This
discussion does not purport to deal with all of the tax
consequences applicable to a Fund or shareholders. Shareholders
are advised to consult their own tax advisers with
respect to the particular tax consequences to them of
an investment in a Fund.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Comparisons of a Fund's performance may be made
with respect to various unmanaged indices (including
the TSE 300, S&P 100, S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial
Average and Major Market Index) which assume
reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect deductions
for administrative and management costs. A Fund also may be
compared to Lipper's Analytical Reports, reports produced by
a widely used independent research firm that ranks
mutual funds by overall performance, investment
objectives and assets, or to Wiesenberger Reports.
Lipper Analytical Services does not include sales
charges in computing performance. Further information
on comparisons is contained in the Prospectus.
Performance rankings will be based on historical information and
are not intended to indicate future performance.

In addition, the Trust may, from time to time,
include the average annual total return and the
cumulative total return of shares of a Fund in
advertisements, promotional literature or reports to
shareholders or prospective investors.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN. Quotations of
standardized average annual total return ("Standardized
Return") for a specific Class of shares of a Fund will
be expressed in terms of the average annual compounded
rate of return that would cause a hypothetical
investment in that Class of a Fund made on the first
day of a designated period to equal the ending redeemable value
("ERV") of such hypothetical investment on the last day of
the designated period, according to the following
formula:

P(1 + T){superscript n} = ERV

Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of
$1,000 to purchase shares of a
specific Class

T = the average annual total return of
shares of that Class

n = the number of years

ERV = the ending redeemable value of a
hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of the period.

For purposes of the above computation for a Fund,
it is assumed that all dividends and capital gains
distributions made by a Fund are reinvested at net
asset value in additional shares of the same Class
during the designated period. In calculating the
ending redeemable value for Class A shares and assuming
complete redemption at the end of the applicable period, the
maximum 5.75% sales charge is deducted from the initial
$1,000 payment and, for Class B shares and Class C
shares, the applicable CDSC imposed upon redemption of
Class B shares or Class C shares held for the period is
deducted. Standardized Return quotations for the Funds
do not take into account any required payments for
federal or state income taxes.

Standardized Return quotations for Class B shares for
periods of over eight years will reflect conversion of
the Class B shares to Class A shares at the end of the
eighth year. Standardized Return quotations are
determined to the nearest 1/100 of 1%.

A Fund may, from time to time, include in
advertisements, promotional literature or reports to
shareholders or prospective investors total return data
that are not calculated according to the formula set
forth above ("Non-Standardized Return"). Neither
initial nor CDSCs are taken into account in calculating Non-
Standardized Return; a sales charge, if deducted, would reduce
the return.

The following tables summarize the calculation of
Standardized and Non-Standardized Return for the Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class I (for Ivy International
Fund and Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund) shares
of the Funds for the periods indicated. In determining
the average annual total return for a specific Class of
shares of a Fund, recurring fees, if any, that are
charged to all shareholder accounts are taken into
consideration. For any account fees that vary with the size of
the account of a Fund, the account fee used for purposes
of the following computations is assumed to be the fee
that would be charged to the mean account size of the
particular Fund. Shares of each of Ivy Canada Fund and
Ivy Global Fund outstanding as of March 31, 1994 were
designated Class A shares of each respective Fund.
Shares of Ivy International Fund outstanding as of
October 22, 1993 have been redesignated as "Class A" shares of
the Fund. Information such as that provided below is not
yet available for Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Global
Natural Resources Fund and Ivy International Small
Companies Fund, which commenced operations on January
1, 1997, or for Ivy International Fund II and Ivy Pan-
Europe Fund, which commenced operations on May 13,
1997.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN. Cumulative total return
is the cumulative rate of return on a hypothetical
initial investment of $1,000 in a specific Class of
shares of a Fund for a specified period. Cumulative
total return quotations reflect changes in the price of
a Fund's shares and assume that all dividends and
capital gains distributions during the period were reinvested in
the Fund shares. Cumulative total return is calculated
by computing the cumulative rates of return of a
hypothetical investment in a specific Class of shares
of a Fund over such periods, according to the following
formula (cumulative total return is then expressed as a
percentage):

C = (ERV/P) - 1

Where: C = cumulative total return

P = a hypothetical initial investment
of $1,000 to purchase shares of a
specific Class

ERV = ending redeemable value: ERV is
the value, at the end of the
applicable period, of a
hypothetical $1,000 investment made at the
beginning of the applicable period.

OTHER QUOTATIONS, COMPARISONS AND GENERAL
INFORMATION. The foregoing computation methods are
prescribed for advertising and other communications
subject to SEC Rule 482. Communications not subject to
this rule may contain a number of different measures of
performance, computation methods and assumptions, including
but not limited to: historical total returns; results of
actual or hypothetical investments; changes in
dividends, distributions or share values; or any
graphic illustration of such data. These data may
cover any period of the Trust's existence and may or may
not include the impact of sales charges, taxes or other factors.

Performance quotations for a Fund will vary from
time to time depending on market conditions, the
composition of the Fund's portfolio and operating
expenses of that Fund. These factors and possible
differences in the methods used in calculating
performance quotations should be considered when
comparing performance information regarding a Fund's shares with
information published for other investment companies and
other investment vehicles. Performance quotations
should also be considered relative to changes in the
value of a Fund's shares and the risks associated with
a Fund's investment objectives and policies. At any
time in the future, performance quotations may be
higher or lower than past performance quotations and there can
be no assurance that any historical performance quotation
will continue in the future.

APPENDIX A

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION
("S&P") AND MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.
("MOODY'S") CORPORATE BOND AND
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

[From "Moody's Bond Record," November 1994 Issue
(Moody's Investors Service, New York, 1994), and
"Standard & Poor's Municipal Ratings Handbook," October
1994 Issue (McGraw Hill, New York, 1994).]

MOODY'S:

(a) CORPORATE BONDS. Bonds rated Aaa by Moody's
are judged by Moody's to be of the best quality,
carrying the smallest degree of investment risk.
Interest payments are protected by a large or
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.
Bonds rated Aa are judged by Moody's to be of high quality by all
standards. Aa bonds are rated lower than Aaa bonds
because margins of protection may not be as large as
those of Aaa bonds, or fluctuations of protective
elements may be of greater amplitude, or there may be
other elements present which make the long-term risks
appear somewhat larger than those applicable to Aaa
securities. Bonds which are rated A by Moody's possess many
favorable investment attributes and are considered as upper
medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate, but
elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility
to impairment sometime in the future.

Bonds rated Baa by Moody's are considered medium-
grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly
protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present, but
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as
well. Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have
speculative elements; their future cannot be considered
well-assured. Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not
well safeguarded during both good and bad times over
the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes
bonds in this class. Bonds which are rated B generally lack
characteristics of the desirable investment. Assurance of
interest and principal payments of or maintenance of other
terms of the contract over any long period of time may
be small.

Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing.
Such issues may be in default or there may be present
elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest. Bonds which are rated Ca represent
obligations which are speculative in a high degree.
Such issues are often in default or have other marked
shortcomings. Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class
of bonds and issues so rated can be regarded as having
extremely

poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment
standing.

(b) COMMERCIAL PAPER. The Prime rating is the
highest commercial paper rating assigned by Moody's.
Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning
ratings are the following: (1) evaluation of the
management of the issuer; (2) economic evaluation of
the issuer's industry or industries and an appraisal of
speculative-type risks which may be inherent in certain
areas; (3) evaluation of the issuer's products in
relation to competition and customer acceptance; (4) liquidity;
(5) amount and quality of long-term debt; (6) trend of
earnings over a period of ten years; (7) financial
strength of a parent company and the relationships
which exist with the issuer; and (8) recognition by
management of obligations which may be present or may
arise as a result of public interest questions and
preparations to meet such obligations. Issuers within this Prime
category may be given ratings 1, 2 or 3, depending on
the relative strengths of these factors. The
designation of Prime-1 indicates the highest quality
repayment capacity of the rated issue.

S&P:

(a) CORPORATE BONDS. An S&P corporate debt
rating is a current assessment of the creditworthiness
of an obligor with respect to a specific obligation.
The ratings are based on current information furnished
by the issuer or obtained by S&P from other sources it
considers reliable. The ratings described below may be
modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to
show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Debt rated AAA by S&P is considered by S&P to be
the highest grade obligation. Capacity to pay interest
and repay principal is extremely strong. Debt rated AA
is judged by S&P to have a very strong capacity to pay
interest and repay principal and differs from the
highest rated issues only in small degree. Debt rated
A by S&P has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

Debt rated BBB by S&P is regarded by S&P as having
an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay
principal. Although such bonds normally exhibit
adequate protection parameters, adverse economic
conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to
lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay
principal than debt in higher rated categories.

Debt rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C is regarded as
having predominately speculative characteristics with
respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal. BB indicates the least degree of
speculation and C the highest. While such debt will
likely have some quality and protective characteristics,
these are outweighed by large uncertainties or exposures to

adverse conditions. Debt rated BB has less near-term
vulnerability to default than other speculative issues.
However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial or economic
conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to
meet timely interest and principal payments. The BB
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to
senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BBB-
rating. Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default
but currently has the capacity to meet interest payments and
principal repayments. Adverse business, financial, or
economic conditions will likely impair capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to
senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BB or
BB- rating. Debt rated CCC has a currently
identifiable vulnerability to default, and is dependent upon
favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to
meet timely payment of interest and repayment of
principal. In the event of adverse business, financial
or economic conditions, it is not likely to have the
capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The CCC
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to
senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied B or B-
rating. The rating CC typically is applied to debt
subordinated to senior debt which is assigned an actual or
implied CCC debt rating. The rating C typically is applied to
debt subordinated to senior debt which is assigned an
actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C rating may
be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy
petition has been filed, but debt service payments are
continued.

(b) COMMERCIAL PAPER. An S&P commercial paper
rating is a current assessment of the likelihood of
timely payment of debt having an original maturity of
no more than 365 days.

Commercial paper rated A by S&P has the following
characteristics: (i) liquidity ratios are adequate to
meet cash requirements; (ii) long-term senior debt
rating should be A or better, although in some cases
BBB credits may be allowed if other factors outweigh
the BBB; (iii) the issuer should have access to at
least one additional channel of borrowing; (iv) basic
earnings and cash flow should have an upward trend with
allowances made for unusual circumstances; and (v) typically the
issuer's industry should be well established and the
issuer should have a strong position within its
industry and the reliability and quality of management
should be unquestioned. Issues rated A are further
referred to by use of numbers 1, 2 and 3 to denote
relative strength within this highest classification.
For example, the A-1 designation indicates that the degree of
safety regarding timely payment of debt is strong.

Issues rated B are regarded as having only
speculative capacity for timely payment. The C rating
is assigned to short- term debt obligations with a
doubtful capacity for payment.

ASIA PACIFIC AND CHINA REGION COUNTRIES

The information set forth in this Appendix has
been extracted from various government and private
publications. Ivy China Region Fund and the Trust's
Board of Trustees make no representation as to the
accuracy of such information, nor has the Fund or the
Trust's Board of Trustees attempted to verify it.
The China Region, one of the fastest growing areas
of the world, is diverse, dynamic and evolving. In
terms of population, this region is almost six times
the size of the United States.

Countries in this region are at various stages of
economic development. Hong Kong and Singapore are at a
more advanced stage of economic growth while countries
such as Indonesia and China are at the early stages of
economic development. GDP per capita data presented
below illustrates this point. The following table shows
the GDP, population and per capita GDP of the China Region
countries and, for comparison purposes, the United States.

(d) Ivy International Fund II--Class I," with the Fund and
each of its classes of shares being subject to all
provisions of the Declaration of Trust relating to shares of
the Trust generally, and having the following special and
relative rights:

1. The Fund shall be authorized to hold cash and invest in
securities and instruments and use investment
techniques as described in the Trust's registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
from time to time. Each share of beneficial interest,

no par value per share, of the Fund shall be redeemable
as provided in the Declaration of Trust, shall be
entitled to one vote (or fraction thereof in respect of
a fractional share) on matters on which shares of the
Fund shall be entitled to vote and shall represent a
pro rata beneficial interest in the assets allocated to
the Fund. The proceeds of sales of shares of the Fund,
together with any income and gain thereon, less any
diminution or expenses thereof, shall irrevocably
belong to the Fund, unless otherwise required by law.
Each share of the Fund shall be entitled to receive its
pro rata share of net assets of the Fund upon the
Fund's liquidation. Upon redemption of a shareholder's
shares, or indemnification for liabilities incurred by
reason of a shareholder being or having been a
shareholder of the Fund, such shareholder shall be paid
solely out of the property of the Fund.

2. Shareholders of the Fund shall vote separately as a
Series on any matter to the extent required by
applicable federal or state law. Shareholders of each
class of the Fund shall have (i) exclusive voting
rights with respect to matters on which the holders of
each such class shall be entitled to exclusive voting
rights under applicable federal or state law, and (ii)
no voting rights with respect to matters on which the
holders of another class of shares of the Fund or the
holders of another Series (or class thereof) shall be
entitled to exclusive voting rights under applicable
federal or state law.

3. The assets and liabilities of the Trust existing as of
the end of the day immediately preceding the date on
which the Registration Statement for the Fund becomes
effective shall be allocated among the Series other
than the Fund in accordance with Article III of the
Declaration of Trust, and thereafter the assets and
liabilities of the Trust shall be allocated among all
Series and classes thereof in accordance with Article
III of the Declaration of Trust, except as provided
below:

(a) Costs incurred by the Trust on behalf of the Fund
in connection with the organization, registration
and public offering of shares of the Fund shall be
allocated to the Fund and shall be amortized by
the Fund in accordance with applicable law and
generally accepted accounting principles.

(b) The Trustees may from time to time in particular
cases make specific allocations of assets or
liabilities among the Series.

4. The Trustees (including any successor Trustees) shall
have the right at any time and from time to time to
reallocate assets and expenses or to change the
designation of any Series (or class thereof) now or
hereafter created, or to otherwise change the special
and relative rights of any such Series (or class),
provided that such change shall not adversely affect
the rights of shareholders of that Series (or class).

5. The dividends and distributions with respect to each
class of shares shall be in such amount as may be
declared from time to time by the Trust's Board of
Trustees in accordance with the Declaration of Trust
and applicable law.

6. (a) Each Class B share of the Fund, other than a share
purchased through the automatic reinvestment of a
dividend or a distribution with respect to Class B
shares, shall be converted automatically, and
without any action or choice on the part of the
holder thereof, into and be reclassified as a
Class A share of the Fund on the date that is the
first business day following the last calendar day
of the month in which the eighth anniversary date
of the date of the issuance of such Class B share
falls (the "Conversion Date") on the basis of the
relative net asset values of the two classes,
without the imposition of any sales load, fee or
other charge;

(b) Each Class B share purchased through the automatic
reinvestment of a dividend or a distribution with
respect to Class B shares shall be segregated in a
separate sub-account. Each time any Class B
shares of the Fund in a shareholder's Fund account
(other than those in the sub-account) convert to
Class A shares of the Fund, a pro rata portion of
the Class B shares then in the sub-account will
also convert to Class A shares. The portion will
be determined by the ratio that the shareholder's
Class B shares converting to Class A shares bears
to the shareholder's total Class B shares not
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions;

(c) The conversion of Class B shares into Class A
shares may be suspended if (i) a ruling of the
Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the
conversion of Class B shares does not constitute a
taxable event under Federal income tax law is
revoked or (ii) an opinion of counsel on such tax
matter is withdrawn or (iii) the Board of Trustees
determines that continuing such conversions would

have material, adverse tax consequences for the
Fund or its shareholders; and

(d) On the Conversion Date, the Class B shares
converted into Class A shares shall cease to
accrue dividends and shall no longer be deemed
outstanding and the rights of the holders thereof
(except the right to receive the number of Class A
shares into which the Class B shares have been
converted and any declared but unpaid dividends to
the Conversion Date) shall cease. Certificates
representing Class A shares of the Fund resulting
from the conversion of Class B shares need not be
issued until certificates representing the Class B
shares converted, if issued, have been received by
the Trust or its agent duly endorsed for transfer;

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the preceding resolutions shall
constitute an Amendment to the Declaration of Trust,
effective as of the date that the Registration Statement for
the Fund is filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in accordance with Rule 485(a)(2) under the
Securities Act of 1933; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the officers of the Trust be, and
they hereby are, authorized to file such Amendment to the
Declaration of Trust in the offices of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this Amendment this 30th
day of April, 1997.

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, as amended (the "1940 Act")(File No. 811-1028), and the
prospectuses contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 94 to the
Trust's registration statement relating to the shares of
beneficial interest of Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Canada Fund,
Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy Global Natural
Resources Fund, Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy
International Fund II, Ivy International Fund, Ivy International
Small Companies Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy New
Century Fund and Ivy Pan-Europe Fund (the "Shares") being filed
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (File No.
2-17613)("Post-Effective Amendment No. 94"). We have also
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
have been duly authorized and, when issued and sold at the public
offering price contemplated by the Prospectuses for the Funds and
delivered by the Trust against receipt of the net asset value of
the Shares, will be issued as fully paid and nonassessable shares
of the Trust.

We consent to the filing of this opinion on behalf of the
Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection
with the filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 94.

Very truly yours,

PLAN PURSUANT TO RULE 18F-3
UNDER THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940

(As Amended and Restated on April 30, 1997)

I. INTRODUCTION

In accordance with Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), this Plan describes the
multi-class structure that will apply to certain series of Ivy
Fund (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), including
the separate class arrangements for the service and distribution
of shares, the method for allocating the expenses and income of
each Fund among its classes, and any related exchange privileges
and conversion features that apply to the different classes.

II. THE MULTI-CLASS STRUCTURE

Each of the following Funds is authorized to issue three
classes of shares, identified as Class A, Class B and Class C,
respectively: Ivy Asia Pacific Fund, Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy Canada
Fund, Ivy China Region Fund, Ivy Pan-Europe Fund, Ivy Emerging
Growth Fund, Ivy Global Fund, Ivy Global Natural Resources Fund,
Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy Growth Fund, Ivy Growth
with Income Fund, Ivy Latin America Strategy Fund, Ivy Money
Market Fund,[FN1][The separation of Ivy Money Market Fund shares
into three separate classes has been authorized as a means of
enabling the Funds' transfer agent to track the contingent
deferred sales charge period that applies to Class B and Class C
shares of other Ivy or Mackenzie Funds that are being exchanged
for shares of Ivy Money Market Fund. In all other relevant
respects, the three classes of Ivy Money Market Fund shares are
identical (i.e., having the same arrangement for shareholder
services and the distribution of securities), and are not subject
to any sales load other than in connection with the redemption of
Class B or Class C shares of that have been acquired pursuant to
an exchange from another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund. (See Section
III.D.)] Ivy International Fund, Ivy International Bond Fund, Ivy
International Small Companies Fund, Ivy International Fund II and
Ivy New Century Fund. Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy Global Science &
Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund, Ivy International Fund
II and Ivy International Small Companies Fund are also authorized
to issue a fourth class of shares, identified as Class I.

Shares of each class of a Fund represent an equal pro rata
interest in the underlying assets of that Fund, and generally
have identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights,
preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations, qualifications

and terms and conditions, except that: (a) each class shall have
a different designation; (b) each class shall bear certain class-
specific expenses, as described more fully in Section III.C.2.,
below; (c) each class shall have exclusive voting rights on any
matter submitted to shareholders that relates solely to its
arrangement; and (d) each class shall have separate voting rights
on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of
one class differ from the interests of any other class. Each
class of shares shall also have the distinct features described
in Section III, below.

III. CLASS ARRANGEMENTS

A. FRONT-END SALES CHARGES AND CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES
CHARGES

Class A shares shall be offered at net asset value plus a
front-end sales charge. The front-end sales charge shall be in
such amount as is disclosed in each Fund's current prospectus and
shall be subject to reductions for larger purchases and such
waivers or reductions as are determined or approved by the Board
of Trustees. Class A shares generally will not be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge (a "CDSC"), although a CDSC may
be imposed in certain limited cases as disclosed in each Fund's
current prospectus or prospectus supplement.

Class B and Class C shares shall be offered at net asset
value without the imposition of a front-end sales charge. A CDSC
in such amount as is described in each Fund's current prospectus
or prospectus supplement shall be imposed on Class B and Class C
shares, subject to such waivers or reductions as are determined
or approved by the Board of Trustees.

Class I shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge
or a CDSC.

B. RULE 12B-1 PLANS

Each Fund (other than Ivy Money Market Fund) has adopted a
service and distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act (a "12b-1 plan") under which it pays to Ivy Mackenzie
Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") an annual fee based on the
average daily net assets value of the Fund's outstanding Class A,
Class B and Class C shares, respectively.[FN2][Class I shares are
not subject to Rule 12b-1 service or distribution fees.] The
maximum fees currently charged to each Fund under its 12b-1 plan
are set forth in the table below, and are expressed as a
percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets.[FN3][Fees for
services in connection with the Rule 12b-1 plans will be
consistent with any applicable restriction imposed by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.]

The services that the Distributor provides in connection
with each Rule 12b-1 plan for which service fees[FN4][Each Fund

pays the Distributor at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the
average daily net asset value attributable to its Class A, Class
B and Class C shares, respectively. Ivy Canada Fund pays an
additional service-related fee of 0.15% of the average daily net
asset value attributable to its Class A shares. In addition,
each Fund (other than Ivy Canada Fund) pays the Distributor a fee
for other distribution services at the annual rate of 0.75% of
the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to its Class B
and Class C shares. Ivy Canada Fund pays the Distributor an
additional amount for other distribution services at the annual
rate of 0.60% of average daily net assets attributable to its
Class B and Class C shares.] are paid include, among other
things, advising clients or customers regarding the purchase,
sale or retention of a Fund's Class A, Class B or Class C shares,
answering routine inquiries concerning the Fund, assisting
shareholders in changing options or enrolling in specific plans
and providing shareholders with information regarding the Fund
and related developments.

The other distribution services provided by the Distributor
in connection with each Fund's Rule 12b-1 plan include any
activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Fund's
Class B and Class C shares. For such distribution services, the
Distributor is paid for, among other things, compensation to
broker-dealers and other entities that have entered into
agreements with the Distributor; bonuses and other incentives
paid to broker-dealers or such other entities; compensation to
and expenses of employees of the Distributor who engage in or
support distribution of a Fund's Class B or Class C shares;
telephone expenses; interest expense (only to the extent not
prohibited by a regulation or order of the SEC); printing of
prospectuses and reports for other than existing shareholders;
and preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature
and advertising materials.

C. ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES AND INCOME

1. "TRUST" AND "FUND" EXPENSES

The gross income, realized and unrealized capital gains and
losses and expenses (other than "Class Expenses," as defined
below) of each Fund shall be allocated to each class on the basis
of its net asset value relative to the net asset value of the
Fund. Expenses so allocated include expenses of Ivy Fund that
are not attributable to a particular Fund or class of a Fund
("Trust Expenses") and expenses of a Fund not attributable to a
particular class of the Fund ("Fund Expenses"). Trust Expenses
include, but are not limited to, Trustees' fees and expenses;
insurance costs; certain legal fees; expenses related to
shareholder reports; and printing expenses. Fund Expenses
include, but are not limited to, certain registration fees (i.e.,
state registration fees imposed on a Fund-wide basis and SEC
registration Fees); custodial fees; transfer agent fees; advisory
fees; fees related to the preparation of separate documents of a
particular Fund, such as a separate prospectus; and other
expenses relating to the management of the Fund's assets.

2. "CLASS" EXPENSES

The types of expenses attributable to a particular class
("Class Expenses") include: (a) payments pursuant to the Rule
12b-1 plan for that class[FN5][Class I shares of Ivy Bond Fund,
Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund, Ivy International Fund, Ivy
International Fund II and Ivy International Small Companies Fund
bear no distribution or service fees.]; (b) transfer agent fees
attributable to a particular class; (c) printing and postage
expenses related to preparing and distributing shareholder
reports, prospectuses and proxy materials; (d) registration fees
(other than those set forth in Section C.1. above); (e) the
expense of administrative personnel and services as required to
support the shareholders of a particular class[FN6][Class I
shares of Ivy Bond Fund, Ivy Global Science & Technology Fund,
Ivy International Fund, Ivy International Fund II and Ivy
International Small Companies Fund bear lower administrative
services fees relative to these Funds' other classes of shares
(i.e., Class I shares of the Funds pay a monthly administrative
services fee based upon each Fund's average daily net assets at
the annual rate of only 0.01%, while Class A, Class B and Class C
shares of these two Funds pay such a fee at the annual rate of
0.10%).]; (f) litigation or other legal expenses relating solely
to a particular class; (g) Trustees' fees incurred as a result of
issues relating to a particular class; and (h) the expense of
holding meetings solely for shareholders of a particular class.
Expenses described in subpart (a) of this paragraph must be
allocated to the class for which they are incurred. All other
expenses described in this paragraph may (but need not) be
allocated as Class Expenses, but only if Ivy Fund's Board of

Trustees determines, or Ivy Fund's President and
Secretary/Treasurer have determined, subject to ratification by
the Board of Trustees, that the allocation of such expenses by
class is consistent with applicable legal principles under the
1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

In the event that a particular expense is no longer
reasonably allocable by class or to a particular class, it shall
be treated as a Trust Expense or Fund Expense, and in the event a
Trust Expense or Fund Expense becomes reasonably allocable as a
Class Expense, it shall be so allocated, subject to compliance
with Rule 18f-3 and to approval or ratification by the Board of
Trustees.

3. WAIVERS OR REIMBURSEMENTS OF EXPENSES

Expenses may be waived or reimbursed by any adviser to Ivy
Fund, by Ivy Fund's underwriter or any other provider of services
to Ivy Fund without the prior approval of Ivy Fund's Board of
Trustees.

D. EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES

Shareholders of each Fund have exchange privileges with the
other Funds and with the five funds that comprise Mackenzie
Series Trust (together, with the Funds, the "Ivy and Mackenzie
Funds").[FN7][Other exchange privileges, not described herein,
exist under certain other circumstances, as described in each
Fund's current prospectus or prospectus supplement.]

1. CLASS A:

INITIAL SALES CHARGE SHARES. Class A shareholders may
exchange their Class A shares ("outstanding Class A shares") for
Class A shares of another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund (or for shares of
another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund that currently offers only a single
class of shares) ("new Class A Shares") on the basis of the
relative net asset value per Class A share, plus an amount equal
to the difference, if any, between the sales charge previously
paid on the outstanding Class A shares and the sales charge
payable at the time of the exchange on the new Class A shares.
Incremental sales charges are waived for outstanding Class A
shares that have been invested for 12 months or longer.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE SHARES. Class A
shareholders may exchange their Class A shares subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), as described in the
Prospectus ("outstanding Class A shares"), for Class A shares of
another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund (or for shares of another Ivy or
Mackenzie Fund that currently offers only a single class of
shares) ("new Class A shares") on the basis of the relative net
asset value per Class A share, without the payment of a CDSC that
would otherwise be due upon the redemption of the outstanding
Class A shares. Class A shareholders of a Fund exercising the

exchange privilege will continue to be subject to the Fund's CDSC
schedule (or period) following an exchange, unless the CDSC
schedule that applies to the new Class A shares is higher (or
such period is longer) than the CDSC schedule (or period), if
any, applicable to the outstanding Class A shares, in which case
the schedule (or period) of the Fund into which the exchange is
made shall apply.

2. CLASS B AND CLASS C:

Shareholders may exchange their Class B or Class C shares
("outstanding Class B shares" or "outstanding Class C shares,"
respectively) for Class B (or Class C) shares of another Ivy or
Mackenzie Fund ("new Class B shares" or "new Class C shares,"
respectively) on the basis of the net asset value per Class B (or
Class C) share, without the payment of any CDSC that would
otherwise be due upon the redemption of the outstanding Class B
(or Class C) shares. Class B and Class C shareholders of a Fund
exercising the exchange privilege will continue to be subject to
the Fund's CDSC schedule (or period) following an exchange,
unless, in the case of Class B shareholders, the CDSC schedule
that applies to the new Class B shares is higher (or such period
is longer) than the CDSC schedule (or period) applicable to the
outstanding Class B shares, in which case the schedule (or
period) of the Fund into which the exchange is made shall apply.

3. CLASS I:

Class I shareholders may exchange their outstanding Class I
shares for Class I shares of another Fund or Mackenzie Fund on
the basis of the net asset value per Class I share.

4. GENERAL:

Shares resulting from the reinvestment of dividends and
other distributions will not be charged an initial sales charge
or CDSC when exchanged into another Ivy or Mackenzie Fund.

With respect to Fund shares subject to a CDSC, if less than
all of an investment is exchanged out of the Fund, the shares
exchanged will reflect, pro rata, the cost, capital appreciation
and/or reinvestment of distributions of the original investment
as well as the original purchase date, for purposes of
calculating any CDSC for future redemptions of the exchanged
shares.

E. CONVERSION FEATURE

Class B shares of a Fund convert automatically to Class A
shares of the Fund as of the close of business on the first
business day after the last day of the calendar quarter in which
the eighth anniversary of the purchase date of the Class B shares
occurs. The conversion will be based on the relative net asset
values per share of the two classes, without the imposition of

any sales load, fee or other charge. For purposes of calculating
the eight year holding period, the "purchase date" shall mean the
date on which the Class B shares were initially purchased,
regardless of whether the Class B shares that are subject to the
conversion were obtained through an exchange (or series of
exchanges) from a different Ivy or Mackenzie Fund. For purposes
of conversion of Class B shares, Class B shares acquired through
the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions paid
in respect of Class B shares will be held in a separate sub-
account. Each time any Class B shares in the shareholder's
regular account (other than those shares in the sub-account)
convert to Class A shares, a pro rata portion of the Class B
shares in the sub-account will also convert to Class A shares.
The portion will be determined by the ratio that the
shareholder's Class B shares converting to Class A shares bears
to the shareholder's total Class B shares not acquired through
the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.

The Board of Trustees of Ivy Fund, including a majority of
the Trustees who are not interested persons of Ivy Fund, as
defined under the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), at a
meeting held on December 1-2, 1995, initially approved this Plan
based on a determination that the Plan, including the expense
allocation, is in the best interests of each class of shares of
each Fund individually and Ivy Fund as a whole.[FN8][The Plan, as
initially approved, pertained only to the Class A and Class B
shares of the Funds, and the Class I shares of Ivy Bond Fund and
Ivy International Fund. The Plan was amended and restated on
April 30, 1996 to reflect the establishment and designation of
Class C shares of the Funds. The Plan was further amended and
restated on June 8, 1996 to reflect the establishment and
designation of Ivy Global Science and Technology Fund. The Plan
was further amended and restated on December 7, 1996 to reflect
the establishment and designation of Ivy Global Natural Resources
Fund, Ivy Asia Pacific Fund and Ivy International Small Companies
Fund. The Plan was further amended and restated on February 8,
1997 to reflect the establishment and designation of Ivy Pan-
Europe Fund. The Plan was further amended and restated as of the
date hereof to reflect the establishment and designation of Ivy
International Fund II.]

B. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS

Before any material amendments to this Plan, Ivy Fund's
Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, must find that the Plan, as proposed to be amended
(including any proposed amendments to the method of allocating
class and/or fund expenses), is in the best interests of each
class of shares of each Fund individually and Ivy Fund as a
whole. In considering whether to approve any proposed

amendment(s) to the Plan, the Trustees of Ivy Fund shall request
and evaluate such information as they consider reasonably
necessary to evaluate the proposed amendment(s) to the Plan.
Such information shall address the issue of whether any waivers
or reimbursements of advisory or administrative fees could be
considered a cross-subsidization of one class by another, and
other potential conflicts of interest between classes.

C. PERIODIC REVIEW

The Board of Trustees of Ivy Fund shall review the Plan as
frequently as it deems necessary, consistent with applicable
legal requirements.

V. EFFECTIVE DATE

The Plan first became effective as of January 1, 1996.
