         THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the 18th day of February, 2004, by and between Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company, a Kansas corporation, registered as an Investment Adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Adviser") and Advantus Capital Management, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, registered as an Investment Adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Sub-Adviser").

         WHEREAS, the Adviser is the investment manager to W&R Target Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation"), an open-end diversified management investment company organized as a series fund, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"); and

         WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to retain the Sub-Adviser to furnish it with portfolio selection and related research and statistical services in connection with the Adviser's investment advisory activities on behalf of the Corporation's Mortgage Securities Portfolio and Real Estate Securities Portfolio (hereinafter, each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), and the Sub-Adviser desires to furnish such services to the Adviser;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, it is agreed as follows:

         1.         Appointment of Sub-Adviser

         In accordance with and subject to the Investment Management Agreement between the Corporation and the Adviser dated February 18, 2004, the Adviser hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser to perform portfolio selection services described herein for investment and reinvestment of the Fund, subject to the control and direction of the Corporation's Board of Directors, for the period and on the terms hereinafter set forth. The Sub-Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish the services hereinafter set forth for the compensation herein provided. The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Corporation or the Adviser in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Corporation or the Adviser.

         2.         Obligations of and Services to be Provided by the Sub-Adviser

         (a)         The Sub-Adviser shall provide the following services and assume the following obligations with respect to the Funds of the Corporation:

(1)	The investment of the assets of the Funds shall at all times be subject to the applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Registration Statement, the current Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information of the Corporation and shall conform to the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Funds as set forth in such documents and as interpreted from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the Adviser, including diversification of the holdings of each Fund as a segregated asset account in accordance with Section 817 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"), and Regulation Section 1.817-5 thereunder, provided that the Adviser shall be responsible for ensuring that the Corporation as a whole is "adequately diversified" if and to the extent required by Section 817(h) of the Code and Regulation 1.817-5 thereunder. Within the framework of the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Funds, and subject to the supervision of the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the making and execution of all investment decisions for each Fund. The Adviser agrees to promptly inform the Sub-Adviser if such objective, policies or restrictions change and to deliver to the Sub-Adviser updated documents, if prepared.
(2)	In carrying out its obligations to manage the investments and reinvestments of the assets of the Funds, the Sub-Adviser shall: (1) obtain and evaluate pertinent economic, statistical, financial and other information affecting the economy generally and individual companies or industries the securities of which are included in the Funds or are under consideration for inclusion therein; (2) formulate and implement a continuous investment program for the Funds consistent with the investment objective and related investment policies for such Fund as set forth in the Corporation's Registration Statement, as amended; and (3) take such steps as are necessary to implement the aforementioned investment program by purchase and sale of securities including the placing, or directing the placement through an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser, of orders for such purchases and sales.
(3)	In connection with the purchase and sale of securities of the Funds, the Sub-Adviser shall arrange for the transmission to the Adviser (or its designee) and the Custodian for the Corporation on a daily basis such confirmation, trade tickets and other documents as may be necessary to enable them to perform their administrative responsibilities with respect to the Funds. With respect to portfolio securities to be purchased or sold through the Depository Trust Company, the Sub-Adviser shall arrange for the automatic transmission of the I.D. confirmation of the trade to the Custodian of the Funds.

	a.	The Adviser shall retain responsibility for the settlement of each purchase or sale executed by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Corporation.
	b.	The Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for determining the level of cash to be held in each Fund. However, the Adviser shall retain all responsibility for the management of all cash for the Corporation and for investing this cash in compliance with applicable regulations.
	c.	The Sub-Adviser shall render such reports to the Adviser and/or to the Corporation's Board of Directors concerning the investment activity and portfolio composition of the Funds in such form and at such intervals as the Adviser or the Board may from time to time require.
(4)	The Sub-Adviser shall, in the name of the Corporation, place or direct the placement of orders for the execution of portfolio transactions in accordance with the policies with respect thereto, as set forth in the Corporation's Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, and under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and the 1940 Act. In connection with the placement of orders for the execution of the Fund's portfolio transactions, the Sub-Adviser shall create and maintain all necessary brokerage records of the Corporation in accordance with all applicable law, rules and regulations, including but not limited to, records required by Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act. All records shall be the property of the Corporation and shall be available for inspection and use by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Corporation or any person retained by the Corporation. Where applicable, such records shall be maintained by the Sub-Adviser for the period and in the place required by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act.
(5)	In placing orders or directing the placement of orders for the execution of portfolio transactions, the Sub-Adviser shall select brokers and dealers for the execution of the Funds' transactions. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute such orders, the Sub-Adviser is expressly authorized to consider the fact that a broker or dealer has furnished statistical, research or other information or services which enhance the Sub-Adviser's investment research and portfolio management capability generally. It is further understood in accordance with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that the Sub-Adviser may negotiate with and assign to a broker a commission which may exceed the commission which another broker would have charged for effecting the transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of commission charged was reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and/or research services (as defined in Section 28(e) provided by such broker, viewed in terms either of the Funds or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities to the Sub-Adviser's discretionary accounts.
	The Sub-Adviser shall render such reports to the Adviser and/or to the Fund's Board of Directors regarding the total amount and usage of all commissions generated as a result of trades executed for the Fund's holdings, as well as information regarding third-party services, if any, received by the Sub-Adviser as a result of trading activity with select brokers and dealers.

         (b)         The Sub-Adviser shall use the same skill and care in providing services to the Corporation as it uses in providing services to fiduciary accounts for which it has investment responsibility. The Sub-Adviser will comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         (c)         The Sub-Adviser shall (i) comply with all reasonable requests of the Corporation (through the Adviser) for information, including information required in connection with the Corporation's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and state securities commissions, and (ii) provide such other services as the Sub-Adviser shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to the administration of the Corporation.

         (d)         The Sub-Adviser shall furnish to the Adviser for distribution to the Corporation's Board of Directors periodic reports and information as the Corporation's officers or Board of Directors shall reasonably request.

         (e)         On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of a Fund as well as other customers, the Sub-Adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased in order to obtain the best execution or lower brokerage commissions, if any. The Sub-Adviser also may purchase or sell a particular security for one or more customers in different amounts. On either occasion, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Adviser in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Funds and to such other customers. In no instance, however, will the Funds' assets be purchased from or sold to the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, the Corporation's principal underwriter, or any affiliated person of either the Corporation, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or the principal underwriter, acting as principal in the transaction, except to the extent permitted by the SEC and the 1940 Act.

         (f)         Consistent with U.S. securities laws, the Sub-Adviser agrees to adopt written trade allocation procedures that are "fair and equitable" to its clients which are consistent with the investment policies set out in the prospectuses and statements of additional information (including amendments) of the Funds or as the Corporation's Board of Directors may direct from time to time. The Sub-Adviser also agrees to effect securities transactions in client accounts consistent with the allocation system described in such written procedures, to keep accurate records of such transactions and to fully disclose such trade allocation procedures and practices to clients.

         (g)         The Sub-Adviser shall review all proxy solicitation materials and be responsible for voting and handling all proxies in relation to the securities held in the Funds. The Adviser shall instruct the custodian and other appropriate parties providing services to the Funds to promptly forward misdirected proxies to the Sub-Adviser.

         The Sub-Adviser shall provide to the Advisor a copy of Sub-Adviser's written proxy voting policies and procedures, as adopted, including policies on addressing potential conflicts of interest and a copy of any summary of the procedures, if applicable. Sub-Adviser shall also be responsible for maintaining records with respect to the proxy votes cast for the Funds. The records shall conform to the applicable SEC proxy regulations.

         Records of all applicable proxy voting records will be provided to the Adviser within 3 business days of any request, written or oral (voting records should be available in hard and soft copy).

         (h)         The Sub-Adviser shall review all notices, including but not limited to corporate action notices, and provide and respond to all corresponding requests for information in relation to the securities held in the Funds. The Adviser shall instruct the custodian and other appropriate parties providing services to the Funds to promptly forward misdirected corporate action notices to the Sub-Adviser.

         (i)         The Sub-Adviser shall promptly notify the Adviser of any financial condition that is likely to impair the Sub-Adviser's ability to fulfill its commitment under this Agreement and/or any termination or resignation of senior (key) personnel.
