The debate over the merits of active and passive investing has been going on for some time. Ivy believes investors can derive the most long-term benefit through exposure to well-researched actively managed funds.
As the U.S. re-emerges from shelter-in-place orders, Ivy believes we could see economic activity bounce back in the second half of the year. However, soaring unemployment and the possibility of a second COVID-19 outbreak are formidable headwinds to recovery. Our panelists recently discussed the public health, macroeconomic and market implications for the path forward.
Market volatility can be unsettling, but history shows that prices have returned to less volatile patterns over time. That can be good news for long-term investors.

Quality: Our preference is to always use ratings obtained from Standard & Poor's, Moody’s, and Fitch. It is each Portfolio’s general policy to classify such security at the lower rating level if only two ratings are available. If more than two ratings are available and a median exists, the median is used. If more than two ratings exist without a median, the lower of the two middle ratings is used. We do not evaluate these ratings, but simply assign them to the appropriate credit quality category as determined by the rating agency.

Data quoted is past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Risk factors: The value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. The performance of the Fund will depend on the success of the allocations among the chosen underlying funds, and in general, the Fund is subject to the same risks as those of its underlying funds. International investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political or economic conditions affecting the foreign country, and differences in accounting standards and foreign regulations. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. 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. Investing in high-income securities may carry a greater risk of nonpayment of interest or principal than higher-rated bonds.Restricted securities, which include private placements, are securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, and there can be no assurance of a ready market for resale. Privately placed securities and other restricted securities will have the effect of increasing the level of Fund illiquidity to the extent that the Fund finds it difficult to sell these securities when management believes it is desirable to do so, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer, and the prices realized could be less than those originally paid or less than the fair market value. These and other risks are more fully described in the fund's prospectus. Not all funds or fund classes may be offered at all broker/ dealers.
Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. It is a method to manage risk.

Prior to that date, the expense limitation may not be terminated without the consent of the Board of Trustees (Board). Certain common expenses applicable to all shareclasses also may be waived to cap total annual ordinary fund operating expenses, which may serve to reduce the expense ratio of certain share classes below its respective expense cap.

Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement: Through October 31, 2020, IDI and/or WISC have contractually agreed to reimburse sufficient 12b-1 and/or shareholder servicing fees to ensure that the total annual ordinary fund operating expenses of the Class N shares and Class Y shares do not exceed the total annual ordinary fund operating expenses of the Class I shares and Class A shares, respectively, as calculated at theend of each month. Prior to that date, the expense limitation may not be terminated without the consent of the Board.
Effective May 18, 2017, the name of the Fund changed from Waddell & Reed Advisors Asset Strategy Fund to Waddell & Reed Advisors (WRA) Wilshire Global Allocation Fund, and the Fund changed its investment strategy to operate as a “fund of funds.” The Fund’s performance prior to that date reflects the Fund’s former strategy; its performance may have differed if the Fund’s current strategy had been in place. WRA Wilshire Global Allocation Fund merged into Ivy Wilshire Global Allocation Fund on Feb. 26, 2018. The returns shown prior to this date reflect the performance of WRA Wilshire Global Allocation Fund, which was incepted on March 9, 1995. Ivy Wilshire Global Allocation Fund adopted that performance as the result of a reorganization in which it acquired all assets and liabilities of WRA Wilshire Global Allocation Fund. Prior to the reorganization, the Ivy Wilshire Global Allocation Fund had no assets and had not commenced operations.
