Risk Factors: Investing in high-income securities may carry a greater risk of nonpayment of interest or principal than higher-rated bonds. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk and, as such, the net asset value of the Fund may fall as interest rates rise. These and other risks are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus. As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Not all funds or fund classes may be offered at all broker/ dealers.
Pricing: All prices and year-to-date returns are based on closing quotes unless noted, as supplied to the NASDAQ by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Stylebox: The style boxes reveal a fund's investment strategy by displaying, for equity, the fund's investment style and the market capitalization of the stocks owned and for fixed income, the average credit quality of the bonds owned and the interest rate sensitivity, as measured by a bond's maturity.

The Advantus International Balanced Fund merged into the Ivy International Balanced Fund on Dec. 8, 2003. The performance shown for periods prior to this date is that of the Advantus International Balanced Fund Class A shares, restated to reflect current sales charges applicable to Ivy International Balanced Fund Class A shares. Performance has not been restated to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to the Ivy International Balanced Fund. If these expenses were reflected, performance shown would differ.
Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement: Through July 31, 2012, Ivy Investment Management Company (IICO), the Fund’s investment manager, Ivy Funds Distributor, Inc. (IFDI), the Fund’s distributor, and/or Waddell & Reed Services Company, doing business as WI Services Company (WISC), the Fund’s transfer agent, have contractually agreed to reimburse sufficient management fees, 12b-1 fees and/or shareholder servicing fees to cap the expenses for the Fund’s Class E shares at 1.33%. Prior to that date, the expense limitation may not be terminated by IICO, IFDI, WISC or the Board of Trustees.
Performance results for some funds may include the effect of expense reduction arrangements. If those arrangements had not been in place, the performance results would have been lower. Please refer to the fund’s Fund Detail page.
Morningstar Ratings: For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of all sales charges), placing emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund and rated separately.) A fund's overall rating is derived from a weighted average of the 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) rating metrics. Morningstar Rating is for the share classes specified; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
