For Class A shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is only imposed
on Class A shares that were purchased at net asset value (NAV) for $1 million or more that are subsequently redeemed within 12 months of purchase. For Class B shares, the CDSC declines from 5% for redemptions within the first year of purchase,
to 4% for redemptions within the second year, to 3% for redemptions within the third and fourth years, to 2% for redemptions within the fifth year, to 1% for redemptions within the sixth year and to 0% for redemptions after the sixth year. For Class
C shares, a 1% CDSC applies to redemptions within 12 months of purchase.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the particular class of shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then
redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs
and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the
Funds portfolio turnover rate was 22% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Waddell & Reed Advisors Energy Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in securities of companies within the energy sector,
which includes all aspects of the energy industry, such as exploration, discovery, production, distribution or infrastructure of energy and/or alternative energy sources.
These companies may include, but are not limited to, oil companies, oil and gas exploration companies, natural gas pipeline companies, refinery companies, energy conservation companies, coal,
transporters, utilities, alternative energy companies and innovative energy technology companies. The Fund also may invest in companies that are not within the energy sector that are engaged in the development of products and services to enhance
energy efficiency for the users of those products and services. The Fund invests in a blend of value and growth companies domiciled throughout the world, including, potentially, companies domiciled or traded in emerging markets. The Fund may invest
up to 100% of its total assets in foreign securities.
After conducting a top-down market analysis of the energy industry and then identifying
trends and sectors, Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company (WRIMCO), the Funds investment manager, uses a research-oriented, bottom-up investment approach when selecting securities for the Fund, focusing on company fundamentals
and growth prospects. In general, the Fund emphasizes companies that WRIMCO believes are strongly managed and can generate above-average capital growth and appreciation.
Many U.S. companies have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets. Therefore, the Fund will have an indirect exposure to foreign markets through investments in these companies.
Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, WRIMCO uses the same type of analysis that it uses in buying securities to determine
whether the security has ceased to offer significant growth potential, has become undervalued and/or whether the prospects of the issuer have deteriorated. WRIMCO may also sell a security to reduce the Funds holding in that security, to take
advantage of more attractive investment opportunities or to raise cash.
Principal Investment Risks
As with any mutual fund, the value of the Funds shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. The Fund is not intended as a
complete investment program. A variety of factors can affect the investment performance of the Fund and prevent it from achieving its objective. These include:
n
|
|
Company Risk
. A company may perform worse
than the overall market due to specific factors, such as adverse changes to its business or investor perceptions about the company.
|
n
|
|
Concentration Risk
. Because the Fund invests
more than 25% of its total assets in the energy related industry, the Funds performance may be more susceptible to a single economic, regulatory or technological occurrence than a fund that does not concentrate its investments in this
industry. Securities of companies within specific industries or sectors of the economy may periodically perform differently than the overall market. In addition, the Funds performance may be more volatile than an investment in a portfolio of
broad market securities and may underperform the market as a whole, due to the limited number of issuers of energy-related securities.
|
n
|
|
Emerging Market Risk
. Investments in
countries with emerging economies or securities markets may carry greater risk than investments in more developed countries. Political and economic structures in many such countries may be undergoing significant evolution and rapid development, and
such countries may lack the social, political and economic stability characteristic of more developed countries. Investments in securities issued in these countries may be more volatile and less liquid than securities issued in more developed
countries.
|
n
|
|
Energy Industry Risk
. Investment risks
associated with investing in energy securities, in addition to other risks, include price fluctuation caused by real and perceived inflationary trends and political developments, the cost assumed in complying with environmental safety regulations,
demand of energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other governmental regulations.
|
n
|
|
Foreign Exposure Risk
. The securities of many
companies may have significant exposure to foreign markets as a result of the companys products or services in those foreign markets. As a result, a companys domicile and/or the markets in which the companys securities trade may
not be fully reflective of its sources of revenue. Such securities would be subject to some of the same risks as an investment in foreign securities, including the risk that political and economic events unique to a country or region will adversely
affect those markets in which the companys products or services are sold.
|
n
|
|
Foreign Securities Risk
. Investing in foreign
securities involves a number of economic, financial, legal, and political considerations that may not be associated with the U.S. markets and that could affect the Funds performance unfavorably, depending upon the prevailing conditions at any
given time. Among these potential risks are: greater price volatility; comparatively weak supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers and issuers; higher brokerage costs; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and related
conversion costs; adverse foreign tax consequences; different and/or less stringent financial reporting standards; custody; and settlement delays. In addition, key information about the issuer, the markets or the local government or economy may be
unavailable, incomplete or inaccurate.
|
n
|
|
Growth Stock Risk
. Prices of growth stocks
may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks. Growth stocks may not perform as well as value stocks or the stock market in general.
|
n
|
|
Management Risk
. Fund performance is
primarily dependent on WRIMCOs skill in evaluating and managing the Funds portfolio and the Fund may not perform as well as other similar mutual funds.
|
n
|
|
Market Risk
. Adverse market conditions,
sometimes in response to general economic or industry news, may cause the prices of the Funds holdings to fall as part of a broad market decline. The financial crisis in the U.S. and foreign economies over the past several years, including the
European sovereign debt crisis, has resulted, and may continue to result, in an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both U.S. and foreign, and in the NAVs of many mutual funds, including to some extent the Fund. Global
economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region may adversely affect issuers in another country or region, which in turn may adversely affect
securities held by the Fund. These circumstances have also decreased liquidity in some markets and may continue to do so. In addition, certain unanticipated events, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war, and other geopolitical events,
can have a dramatic adverse effect on securities held by the Fund.
|
n
|
|
Value Stock Risk
. Value stocks are stocks of
companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor and, in the opinion of WRIMCO, undervalued. The value of a security believed by WRIMCO to
be undervalued may never reach what is believed to be its full value, or such securitys value may decrease.

Performance
The chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The chart shows how performance has varied from
year to year for Class A shares. The table shows the average annual total returns for each Class of the Fund and also compares the performance with those of a broad-based securities market index and a Lipper peer group (a universe of mutual
funds with investment objectives similar to that of the Fund). The chart does not reflect any sales charges and, if those sales charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual Federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an
investors tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs), or to shares
held by non-taxable entities. After-tax returns are shown only for Class A shares. After-tax returns for other Classes may vary. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be better than Return Before Taxes due to an
assumed tax benefit from losses on a sale of the Funds shares at the end of the period.
The Funds past performance (before and
after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit
www.waddell.com
or call 888.WADDELL for the Funds updated performance.
