Ivy Funds brand name, has launched a new series of international fund of funds,
International Solutions.
The five International Solutions funds will consist of investments in both Ivy Funds and non-affiliated funds. The non-affiliated funds have been selected for their experience in managing international assets and include
Bankers Trust,
