in order to determine its place in the fund family's lineup, and specifically whether it was significantly different than the Ivy Pan-Europe Fund, launched in May 1997.

Ivy considered both merging the tiny $1.2 million fund and closing the fund permanently, but decided in the end that the investment style utilized as well as it's more large-cap orientation would serve different investors' needs.

"We closed the fund briefly to allow us time to better distinguish this fund from the ($5.2 million) Pan-Europe Fund. We are confident that both funds have merit in the marketplace," said Thomas Bivin, executive vice president and national sales manager.

"This fund will typically employ a more aggressive investment style than the one utilized by the management team of the Ivy Pan-Europe Fund," Bivin added, "and as a result, will appeal to an investor with a different profile."
