Principal investment strategy
Ivy Government Securities Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing exclusively in a diversified portfolio of U.S. government securities. U.S. government securities include: U.S. Treasury (Treasury) obligations, such as bills, bonds and notes; obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the Treasury, and certain U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, such as Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae); obligations of issuers that are supported by the ability of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; and obligations of U.S. government-sponsored entities that are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. government, such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae). The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S.
government-sponsored entities or agencies or instrumentalities of U.S. government agencies. The Fund has no limitations on the range of maturities of the debt securities in which it may invest. IICO may look at a number of factors in selecting securities for the Funds portfolio. These include utilizing economic research and analyzing interest rate trends to determine which types of securities to emphasize at a given time. IICO attempts to enhance Fund performance by utilizing opportunities presented by the shape and slope of the yield curve. Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, IICO uses the same type of analysis that it uses when buying securities to determine whether the security continues to be a desired investment for the Fund. IICO also may sell a security to reduce the Funds holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities or to raise cash.
