Delaware Ivy Total Return Bond Fund (Acquired Fund)

Delaware Ivy Global Bond Fund (Acquiring Fund)

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?   Delaware Ivy Total Return Bond Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in bonds. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 40% of its total assets in securities of non-US issuers. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in foreign securities and in securities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, although the Fund will limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-US dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 75% of its total assets as described below.  The Fund has the flexibility to invest in any form of debt security, including, but not limited to, US government and foreign government securities, corporate bonds, convertible and non-convertible bonds, inflation-indexed bonds, asset- and mortgage-backed securities. The Fund also may invest in currencies. The Fund may invest directly in the debt securities listed above, as well as in derivative instruments that provide investment exposure to such debt securities. The Fund is unconstrained in its investment approach, meaning that it is not limited by the types of investments in a particular securities index, nor is it limited to any single type of investment strategy.   For the purposes of this section, a reference to the Manager may also include Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL), with respect to its role as sub-advisor of the Fund.   The Manager may consider analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in evaluating investments for the Fund. This analysis considers various inputs, including metrics sourced from external parties and ESG research providers; commitments on ESG progress from issuers; specific bond formats (such as green or sustainability-linked bonds); issuer engagement; and other external and proprietary inputs to judge the issuer’s contribution to improvements in ESG practice. The Fund may favor securities of issuers that are judged by the

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?   Delaware Ivy Global Bond Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of bonds of foreign and US issuers. The Fund may invest in debt securities, including secured and unsecured loan assignments, loan participations and other loan instruments (loans), issued by foreign or US companies of any size, including those in emerging markets, as well as in debt securities issued by foreign or US governments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 40% (or, if the Manager deems it warranted by market conditions, at least 30%) of its total assets in securities of non-US issuers, including those located in at least three countries including the United States. Non-US issuers are those that are (1) economically tied to a non-US country or countries, or (2) issued or guaranteed by a company domiciled in, or government of, a non-US country. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in foreign securities and in securities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. The Fund may invest in securities of any maturity.   The Fund may invest in both investment and non-investment-grade securities. It may invest up to 35% of its total assets in non-investment-grade bonds, commonly called “high-yield” or “junk” bonds, that include bonds rated BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc. (S&P), or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality. The Fund will invest in non-investment-grade securities only if the Manager deems the risks to be consistent with the Fund’s objectives.   The Manager may consider analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in evaluating investments for the Fund. This analysis considers various inputs, including metrics sourced from external parties and ESG research providers; commitments on ESG progress from issuers; specific

Manager to meet high ESG standards, and may avoid investment in certain industry sectors, or in securities of issuers that are judged to not meet the Manager’s ESG requirements.  The Manager relies on a proprietary ESG framework where issuers are assessed on their exposure to, and management of, environmental, social and governance risks. The Manager’s ESG framework relies on its quantitative and qualitative analysis of factors such as industry sector, issuer specific factors such as history and management, and data from multiple sources, including government reports, company filings and external data providers. This framework is subjective in nature and not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible risks and are provided as an indication of the types of factors being utilized by the Manager.   As described in more detail below, the Fund expects to use derivatives for various purposes. The Fund may take long positions in derivatives (the values of which typically move in the same direction as the prices of the underlying investments) and short positions in derivatives (the values of which typically move in the opposite direction from the prices of the underlying investments).   The Fund may invest in debt securities of any credit rating and may invest up to 50% of its total assets in non-investment grade debt securities, or high yield or junk bonds, which include bonds rated BB+ or below by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (S&P), or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the Manager.   The Fund may invest in debt securities from any market or country or denominated in any currency, including issuers located in, and/or generating revenue from, both developed and emerging markets. The Fund will limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-US dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 75% of its total assets. The Fund reserves the right to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies to reduce the risk of loss from fluctuations in currency exchange rates, but is under no obligation to do so under any circumstances. The Fund expects to use a variety of derivative instruments for various purposes.   The Fund may invest in bonds of any maturity or duration.   The Fund will use derivatives for both hedging and nonhedging purposes. For example, the Fund may

bond formats (such as green or sustainability-linked bonds); issuer engagement; and other external and proprietary inputs to judge the issuer’s contribution to improvements in ESG practice. The Fund may favor securities of issuers that are judged by the Manager to meet high ESG standards, and may avoid investment in certain industry sectors, or in securities of issuers that are judged to not meet the Manager’s ESG requirements. The Manager relies on a proprietary ESG framework where issuers are assessed on their exposure to, and management of, environmental, social and governance risks. The Manager’s ESG framework relies on its quantitative and qualitative analysis of factors such as industry sector, issuer specific factors such as history and management, and data from multiple sources, including government reports, company filings and external data providers. This framework is subjective in nature and not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible risks and are provided as an indication of the types of factors being utilized by the Manager.   The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities.   The Fund may also use a wide range of derivatives instruments, typically including options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forwards, and swaps. The Fund will use derivatives for both hedging and nonhedging purposes. For example, the Fund may invest in: futures and options to manage duration and for defensive purposes, such as to protect gains or hedge against potential losses in the portfolio without actually selling a security, or to stay fully invested; forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure; interest rate swaps to neutralize the impact of interest rate changes; credit default swaps to hedge against a credit event, to gain exposure to certain securities or markets, or to enhance total return; and index swaps to enhance return or to effect diversification. The Fund will not use derivatives for reasons inconsistent with its investment objective.   Many of the companies in which the Fund may invest have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets. Therefore, the Fund may have indirect exposure to various foreign markets through investments in these companies, even if the Fund is not invested directly in such markets.   The Manager may look at a number of factors in selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio including: identifying fundamental global themes; country analysis (economic, legislative/judicial and demographic trends); credit analysis of the issuer (financial strength, cash flow, balance sheet, capital

The Fund will not use derivatives for reasons inconsistent with its investment objective.   MIMGL, an affiliate of the Fund’s investment manager, Delaware Management Company (Manager), serves as the Fund’s sub-advisor and manages the Fund’s assets. The Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (MIMAK) and Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (MIMEL) (together with MIMGL, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”). The Manager may also permit these Affiliated Sub-Advisors to execute Fund security trades on behalf of the Manager and exercise investment discretion for securities in certain markets where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Sub-Advisor’s specialized market knowledge.

structure, management, strategy and accounting); the maturity, quality, and denomination (US dollar, euro, yen, other) of the issue; domicile, market share and industry of the issuer; and analysis of the issuer’s profit history through various economic cycles.   Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager continues to analyze the factors considered for buying the security. The Manager also considers its assumptions regarding a company, an industry, the markets, an individual economy and/or the global economy. The Manager may sell a security to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities or to raise cash.   The Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (MIMAK), Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (MIMEL), and Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL) (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”).

Delaware Ivy High Yield Fund (Acquired Fund)

Delaware Ivy High Income Fund (Acquiring Fund)

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?   Delaware Ivy High Yield Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high-yield, lower-quality fixed-income securities of US and foreign issuers, the risks of which are, in the judgment of Delaware Management Company (Manager), consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities, commonly called “high yield” or “junk” bonds. Such bonds include debt securities rated BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (S&P), or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or, if unrated, determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in non-investment grade debt securities.   The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its total assets in lower-quality debt securities that are considered investment grade securities rated by S&P (or comparably rated by another NRSRO, or, if unrated, determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality).

The Fund invests primarily in lower-quality debt securities, which include debt securities rated BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc. (S&P), or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality.

The Fund may invest in fixed-income securities of any maturity.

securities of any maturity and in companies of any size, but intends to invest primarily in intermediate and long-term corporate obligations.   The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in foreign debt securities that are denominated in US dollars or foreign currencies. Many of the companies in which the Fund may invest have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets. Therefore, the Fund may have indirect exposure to various foreign markets through investments in these companies, even if the Fund is not invested directly in such markets.   In selecting securities for the Fund, the Manager combines a top-down (assessing the market environment) and bottom-up (researching individual issuers) investment philosophy, with a strong focus on a security’s relative value. From a top-down perspective, the Manager considers both industry specific trends and other macroeconomic events that are impacting issuers.   Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager utilizes the same factors it considers for buying a security, in addition to its relative valuation. The Manager also may sell a security to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes to be more attractive opportunities, or to raise cash.   The Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (MIMAK), Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (MIMEL), and Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL) (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”). The Manager may also permit these Affiliated Sub-Advisors to execute Fund security trades on behalf of the Manager and exercise investment discretion for securities in certain markets where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Sub-Advisor’s specialized market knowledge.

The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in foreign securities that are denominated in US dollars or foreign currencies. Many of the companies in which the Fund may invest have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets. Therefore, the Fund may have indirect exposure to various foreign markets through investments in these companies, even if the Fund is not invested directly in such markets.   The Fund may invest in restricted securities.   Although the Manager considers credit ratings in selecting investments for the Fund, the Manager bases its investment decisions for a particular instrument primarily on its own credit analysis and not on a NRSRO’s credit rating. In selecting securities, the Manager may conduct an initial screening of issuers based on characteristics such as yield, performance, maturity and relative value across and within sectors. Following its initial screening, the Manager may look at a number of factors beginning with a primarily bottom-up (researching individual issuers) analysis that includes extensive modeling and talking with a company’s management team, industry consultants and sell-side research to help formulate opinions, and progressing to consideration of the current economic environment, the direction and level of interest rates and inflation, and industry fundamentals and trends in the general economy. Other factors considered include a company’s financial strength, growth of operating cash flows, strength of management, borrowing requirements, improving credit metrics, potential to improve credit standing, responsiveness to changes in interest rates and business conditions, strength of business model, competitive advantage and capital structure and future capital needs. Initial position sizes are determined based on factors that include size of issue, rating, duration, coupon, call-ability, exposure to a specific industry and leverage.   The Manager attempts to optimize the Fund’s risk/reward by investing in the debt portion of the capital structure that the Manager believes to be most attractive, which may include secured and/or unsecured loans, floating rate notes and/or secured and/or unsecured high-yield bonds. For example, if the Manager believes that market conditions are favorable for a particular type of fixed-income instrument, such as high-yield bonds, most or all of the fixed-income instruments in which the Fund invests may be high-yield bonds. Similarly, if the Manager believes that market conditions are favorable for loans, most or all of the fixed-income instruments in which the Fund invests may be loans,

including second-lien loans which typically are lower in the capital structure and less liquid than first-lien loans. Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager considers the dynamics of an industry and/or company change or anticipated change, a change in strategy by a company, a deterioration of the company’s financial model, credit quality or credit standing, and/or a change in management’s consideration of its creditors. The Manager also may sell a security if, in the Manager’s opinion, the price of the security has risen to fully reflect the company’s improved creditworthiness and other investments with greater potential exist. The Manager also may sell a security to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities, to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security or to raise cash.   The Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited, Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG, and Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”). The Manager may also permit these Affiliated Sub-Advisors to execute Fund security trades on behalf of the Manager and exercise investment discretion for securities in certain markets where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Sub-Advisor’s specialized market knowledge.

Based upon their evaluation of the relevant information presented to them, the Board of the Trust, on behalf of its applicable Fund, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of each, determined that the Reorganizations would be in the best interests of each Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of each Fund would not be diluted as a result of effecting the Reorganizations.  The determination to approve each Reorganization was made separately and on the basis of each Trustee’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors deemed relevant to the Trustee taken as a whole, though individual Trustees may have placed different weights on various factors and assigned different degrees of materiality to various conclusions.

•

Each Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Acquired Fund share substantially similar or identical investment objectives, similar principal investment strategies and principal risks, and identical fundamental investment restrictions.

•

Each Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Acquired Fund have a high degree of portfolio holding overlap and the same portfolio management teams, which is anticipated to minimize transaction costs in connection with each Reorganization.

•

Each Acquiring Fund’s overall total expense ratios are expected to be equal to or lower than the corresponding Acquired Fund’s total expense ratio following the Reorganizations after taking into account applicable expense limitation arrangements.

•

Each Acquiring Fund’s expense limitation agreements will remain in place for a minimum of twelve months following the Reorganization.

•

The assets under management of each Fund (e.g., smaller funds going into larger funds) and DMC’s view on ability to garner additional assets of each Fund outside of the Reorganizations.

•

Each Acquiring Fund’s assets will increase as a result of the Reorganization which may result in increased economies of scale and lower operating expenses for shareholders.

•

Potential increased distribution attention due to the reduced number of substantially similar Funds (within the Delaware Funds by Macquarie complex) and increased Fund sizes.

•

The performance of the Acquiring Funds across various periods is generally favorable as compared to the corresponding Acquired Fund in most cases, with the exception of the Reorganization of the Delaware Ivy High Yield Fund into the Delaware Ivy High Income Fund where the 5-year performance of the Delaware Ivy High Yield Fund is more favorable.

•

The Reorganization will be effected on the basis of each Fund’s net asset value per share and will not result in the dilution of the interests of shareholders of any Fund.

•

The total costs of each Reorganization will be split as follows: two thirds paid by the Acquiring Funds and Acquired Funds together, with individual Fund contributions to be assessed based on proportional assets, to ensure that smaller funds are not disadvantaged, and one third by DMC.

•

Each Reorganization will be effected on a tax-free basis.

•

That Acquired Fund shareholders who do not wish to become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund will have an opportunity to sell their Acquired Fund shares before the Reorganization.
