Market review

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index lagged developed markets and declined 17.4% during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022. Several factors influenced performance. First, geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine escalated to full-scale military conflict. As events unfolded, the US and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian entities, corporations, and individuals, while MSCI eliminated all Russian stocks from the benchmark at a de minimis price. Second, China maintained its stringent zero-COVID policy, imposing lockdowns in major metropolitan areas that further dampened the economic outlook. Third, to combat inflationary pressure, the US Federal Reserve quickened the pace of monetary tightening, which contributed to rising US bond yields and a strengthening US dollar.

Returns across countries and sectors diverged significantly amid volatile market conditions. Latin America outperformed the most among geographic regions. Equities in Brazil and Peru, buoyed by rising commodities prices and currency appreciation, posted returns exceeding 20% in US dollar terms. Mexico also outperformed with notable strength in the financials and industrials sectors. Excluding the impact of Russia’s removal from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, markets in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region also outperformed. Rising energy prices supported equities in the Middle East, while in South Africa, the energy, industrials, and financials sectors bolstered performance. Equities rallied amid high inflation in Turkey.

In contrast, Asia relatively lagged, particularly the North Asian markets. Concern about slowing economic growth weighed on consumer-related stocks in China. Moreover, lingering uncertainty in the regulatory environment, both in China and the US, contributed to underperformance in the technology, communication services, and healthcare sectors. In Taiwan and South Korea, technology stocks underperformed as demand weakness appeared to spread beyond consumer-related applications to other end markets. Equities in South and Southeast Asia outperformed as domestic demand

helped insulate these economies from slowing global growth. Indonesia, Thailand, and India outperformed the most among Asian markets.

On a sector basis, utilities, financials, and industrials relatively outperformed. In contrast, communication services and healthcare underperformed the most.

Within the Fund

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund underperformed it benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Fund’s Institutional Class shares declined 23.76%. The Fund’s Class A shares declined 23.97% at net asset value and 28.34% at maximum offer price. These figures reflect all distributions reinvested. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) declined 17.43%. For complete, annualized performance of Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, please see the table on page 10.

Among countries, Russia detracted the most from relative performance. The Fund’s investment process centers on identifying individual companies that we believe possess sustainable franchises and favorable long-term growth prospects, and trade at what we believe are significant discounts to their intrinsic value. Historically, we have found selective Russian companies attractive from a fundamental perspective. For example, in the energy sector, we believe that the oil resources of Rosneft Oil Co. PJSC have some of the lowest extraction costs globally, and that the company’s long-term growth opportunities and valuation compare favorably to peers. However, we have also recognized heightened risks associated with these investments and have sought to manage such risks through enhanced valuation discounts and limits to position sizes. On balance, the Fund has maintained a measured overweight position in Russia relative to its country weighting in the benchmark. While we closely monitored tensions between Russia and Ukraine as they ratcheted up in late 2021 and early 2022, the likelihood of a full-scale invasion appeared low in our assessment at that time.

After Russia’s incursion into Ukraine and the swift application of sanctions against certain Russian entities, trading on Moscow’s stock exchange was halted on February 28, 2022. Several Russian stocks listed offshore continued to trade but plunged in value before being suspended for trading on or around March 2, 2022. As of November 30, 2022, trading in Russian stocks remained suspended for foreign investors. Considering these trading suspensions and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, the value of the Fund’s Russian holdings has been written down based on fair valuation protocols.

Outside of Russia, the Fund’s stock selection in South Korea and Taiwan was unfavorable. The Strategy holds large overweight positions in semiconductor stocks including MediaTek Inc., SK Hynix Inc., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. These stocks underperformed as deterioration in the demand outlook heightened investors’ concerns about rising inventories, price declines for semiconductor chips, and downward earnings estimate revisions.

On the positive side, the Fund’s position in Reliance Industries Ltd. in India outperformed as domestic consumption recovered. In Chile, shares of Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA outperformed as lithium prices rallied.

The prevailing sources of uncertainty – including inflation, rising interest rates, energy

markets, and a potential slowdown of global growth – are unlikely to abate in the near term, in our view. Although we expect market conditions to remain volatile, we do not believe these uncertainties have derailed long-term growth opportunities that are underpinned by secular trends such as digitalization and consumption premiumization (consumers’ preference for high-quality, healthy, and premium products). Moreover, we believe that equity valuations across several pockets of the emerging markets universe appear attractive.

Among countries, we currently hold overweight positions in South Korea, Brazil, and Mexico. Conversely, we are currently underweight relative to the benchmark the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and China. Sectors we currently favor include technology, consumer staples, and energy (largely due to the Fund’s holding in Reliance Industries). The Strategy is most underweight in financials and industrials

The Fund used foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate the purchase and sale of equities traded on international exchanges. The effect of these contracts on performance was not material.

Market review

The fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, was turbulent and challenging as a combination of macroeconomic and geopolitical events roiled financial markets. Historically high and persistent inflation was exacerbated by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on energy and commodity prices. In response, the US Federal Reserve and other major global central banks aggressively tightened monetary policy – significantly raising interest rates – to squeeze inflationary pressures out of the economy.

Other major global events and factors that weighed on financial markets included China’s zero-COVID lockdowns, which contributed to supply-chain disruptions and rising commodity prices; surging fixed income yields; and the sustained strength of the US dollar relative to other major currencies. Late in the period, political and economic volatility in the UK spiked when the newly formed government led by Prime Minister Liz Truss proposed a budget that was deeply unpopular. Within days the British pound plunged, and Prime Minister Truss resigned.

International value stocks significantly outperformed during the 12-month period while their growth counterparts sold off sharply on an indiscriminate basis.

Fund performance

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, Delaware International Small Cap Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index (net). The Fund’s Institutional Class shares declined 23.59%. The Fund’s Class A shares declined 23.72% at net asset value and 28.10% at maximum offer price. These figures reflect all distributions reinvested. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark (net) declined 16.73%. For complete, annualized performance of Delaware International Small Cap Fund, please see the table on page 14.

In an environment in which global macroeconomic forces rather than stock-specific fundamentals were the determining factor of stock performance, the Fund was at a

Table of Contents

distinct disadvantage. Nonetheless, we remained true to our process of bottom-up selection of individual companies undergoing positive, fundamental change that we believe have the potential to drive earnings growth beyond market expectations.

With that in mind, sectors that detracted the most from the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year were industrials and real estate. This and other aspects of performance attribution resulted from individual stock selection based on the Fund’s methodology.

Countries that detracted the most from the Fund’s relative performance were the UK, Japan, and Australia. The three largest individual detractors from performance were MIPS AB in Sweden, Future PLC in the UK, and InMode Ltd., based in Israel.

MIPS, a provider of helmet safety technology, underperformed despite the company’s solid financial results. Supply-chain issues, mainly attributable to lockdowns in China, were successfully mitigated. Although MIPS continued to see strong demand, it was hurt as investors rotated from growth to value stocks. We exited our position.

Future is a media publisher with a strong presence in specialty online and print magazine publishing. While Future reported continued trading momentum with digital advertising growth during the period, the shares suffered as growth companies fell out of favor. Although we reduced our weighting in Future, we still hold the stock since we believe the thesis remains intact. However, we continue to monitor the stock closely.

InMode has developed technologies that fill the treatment gap between non-invasive and invasive procedures within the large and growing aesthetics market. Despite reporting strong first-quarter financial results, the stock underperformed during the period. We did add to our position over the summer when the company continued to deliver strong financial results.

Sectors that added the most to the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark included energy and consumer staples. Energy benefited from global supply shortages that led to both higher prices and profits. Canada, India, and Mexico were the countries that contributed the most to the Fund’s relative performance.

Among individual stocks, the three largest contributors to performance were Varun Beverages Ltd. in India, and Vermilion Energy Inc. and K+S AG, both in Canada.

Varun Beverages is one of the largest global franchisees of PepsiCo Inc. The company manufactures and distributes PepsiCo’s beverages in India as well as selected international markets. Varun outperformed as it benefited from strong in-home demand across its markets along with a rise in out-of-home demand. The company continued to expand its geographic presence, enhancing its distribution network.

Vermilion Energy is a Canada-based independent oil and gas exploration and production company, with operations in North America, Europe, and Australia. Vermilion’s diverse international exposure positioned it to benefit from higher commodity prices, improved cash flow, and merger and acquisition opportunities.

K+S is a leading global producer of potash fertilizer, and a leading distributor of agricultural chemicals. The company benefited from strong commodity prices, supported by global supply constraints. Potash prices remained elevated and K+S has remained positive about its near-term outlook. Recent constraints on Russian and Ukrainian

agricultural exports have also pushed prices higher for soft commodities.

At the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, there is some optimism that China’s economy will reopen and that the Fed and other central banks will ease monetary constraints once inflation peaks. It would also be a boost to financial markets if we could achieve a so-called economic soft landing and avoid a recession. At the same time, there are plenty of ongoing concerns, including the Russia-Ukraine war, the potential for inflation to remain a concern longer than currently anticipated, uncertainty regarding a possible recession, and the impact of an economic slowdown on corporate earnings.

As previously noted, the Fund’s country and sector weights are driven primarily by bottom-up stock selection. As a result, relative to the Fund’s benchmark at the end of the fiscal year, the Fund was overweight Japan and Canada. From a sector perspective, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations were in industrials and energy. Conversely, Australia and Taiwan were the largest underweight country positions while materials and real estate were the Fund’s largest sector underweights at period end.

The Fund may use derivatives or structured products in limited situations. However, it did not use derivatives during the fiscal period.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks long-term growth without undue risk to principal.

Market review

During the last months of 2021, investors focused their concern on supply-chain disruptions, rising energy prices, and inflation. At the time, it was unclear whether rising inflation would prove to be transitory, as the US Federal Reserve initially maintained, or tenacious. In its last meeting of the year, the Fed turned hawkish as inflation persisted, reaching the highest level seen in decades.

Market returns declined in the first quarter of 2022 as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, inflation, rising energy prices, and central bank interest rate increases worldwide resulted in a risk-off environment. Negative market returns persisted in the second quarter 2022 as China’s zero-COVID policy, mandating continued economic lockdowns, exacerbated disruptions to the already-fragile global supply chain.

In July we saw a strong rally triggered by expectations that the Fed would make a U-turn and reduce interest rates in 2023. The rally faltered, however, as an uncertain outlook for the global economy underpinned central banks’ commitment to reducing inflation by raising rates. Markets continued to decline in the third quarter of 2022, with all sectors in the red. Nonetheless, it appeared that the Fed’s policies were beginning to dampen inflation. In turn, investors worldwide looked to the US as a so-called safe haven, pushing a strong US dollar even higher against other major currencies, including the British pound sterling, euro, and Japanese yen.

Within the Fund

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, Delaware International Value Equity Fund showed a loss and underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net). The Fund’s Institutional Class shares lost 13.23%. The Fund’s Class A shares declined 13.46% at net asset value (NAV) and declined 18.42% at maximum offer price. These figures reflect reinvestment of all distributions. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark (net) lost 10.14%. For complete, annualized performance of Delaware International Value Equity Fund, please see the table on page 18.

We invest with the mindset of long-term business owners. We seek to identify undervalued quality companies that have the potential to provide solid relative capital protection in challenging times. Therefore, the Fund’s portfolio is built bottom up (stock-by-stock) by selecting company stocks based on quantitative insights and qualitative assessments.

Within the benchmark, energy and financials provided the strongest sector returns during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, at 38.6% and -2.1%, respectively. The weakest performance came from information technology, real estate, and consumer discretionary with returns of -26.0%, -19.9%, and -17.6%, respectively.

Active sector allocation as well as stock selection had a negative effect on the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund had no investments in financials and energy, the two strongest sectors in the benchmark, and thus underperformed. Weak stock selection in healthcare and industrials also detracted from relative performance.

Contributions to relative performance came from stock selection in communication services and information technology as well as a lack of investment in real estate, which underperformed in the benchmark.

We had no investments in four out of 11 MSCI sectors: financials, energy, real estate, and utilities. In these sectors, we were unable to identify companies that possessed a business model consistent with our investment philosophy.

In terms of individual holdings, three of the largest contributors to performance were French facilities management company Sodexo SA, Danish multinational pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk A/S, and French advertising company Publicis Groupe SA.

Sodexo’s third-quarter sales improved 18%, driven by strong volume recovery and upward price revisions in contracts. At period end, Sodexo’s business activity was at 97% of pre-COVID levels compared to 94% in the previous quarter. The recovery in activity was broad-based, across all lines of business and geographies. The Sport & Leisure segment not surprisingly posted the strongest rebound.

The successful Danish insulin producing company Novo Nordisk beat high expectations, growing both sales and earnings by double digits during the fiscal year. The company’s key franchises, diabetes and obesity care, demonstrated strong growth rates, benefiting from an attractive combination of large and expanding addressable markets with low current penetration. Novo Nordisk is a leader in both markets. The company upgraded its guidance, driven in part by a helpful tailwind from the strong US dollar.

The share-price movements of advertising agency conglomerates, like Publicis Groupe, often indicate what investors anticipate for the global economy and market performance. During the past twelve months, Publicis beat stock market estimates on several occasions and upgraded its guidance for organic growth, operating margin, and free cash flow, even though the company voiced concern that the macroeconomic environment might deteriorate. While consumers and marketers alike are feeling the pinch of inflation, rising interest rates, and slower economic growth, businesses are still spending on advertising, says Publicis CEO Arthur Sadoun, who notes that advertising is “essential” to growing a business.

Three significant detractors from the Fund’s performance during the fiscal year were German sportswear manufacturer adidas AG, German global dialysis provider Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, and Spanish IT provider Amadeus IT Group SA.

A challenging trading environment in Greater China, caused by COVID-19 restrictions and industry-wide supply-chain disruptions, has hurt adidas’ shares. The company lowered its outlook for the year citing lower growth rates and margins than initially expected, largely due to China, which is both a very profitable market for adidas and an important source of materials. Its guidance indicates that its profit margin will be far below what the company earned in the past and what we believe it could earn in a more-normal operating environment. We believe the underlying margin potential to be substantially higher for adidas driven by operating leverage, more direct-to-consumer content, and cost-reductions following the sale of Reebok. Before higher margins can be achieved, however, adidas needs to clear some inventory at mark-down prices. That said, adidas is not alone in the industry; we think its peers face similar challenges.

The world’s leading kidney dialysis company, Fresenius Medical Care, was caught in a perfect storm together with its competitors. COVID-19 reduced the patient population, slowed clinic traffic, and increased the cost of serving patients. The industry works on a contract-basis and prices for dialysis services have yet to be adjusted higher to reflect inflation. In essence, Fresenius Medical Care must take the higher costs on its shoulders until prices are renegotiated. Management has withdrawn its 2025 targets. Despite all the headwinds, we think Fresenius Medical Care will remain a profitable business.

Amadeus IT Group is the global leader in ticketing software for the airline industry, with a market share above 40%. The company’s profits are driven by the number of tickets sold, not the ticket price, which provides Amadeus with more stability than its customers. Global air travel is now recovering from the pandemic. Second-quarter earnings confirmed that the travel industry worldwide is continuing to recover and is presently at 75% of pre-pandemic levels. The US market is somewhat stronger while the Asia-Pacific and European markets lag somewhat. Amadeus incurs little additional cost as ticket volumes increase. That is central to our case, which sees earnings improving rapidly as travel volumes recover. Pre-COVID Amadeus had earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins just above 40%. In the second quarter 2022 Amadeus again showed EBITDA margins of about 40% and cash flow of 182 million euros generated on revenues that were 17% below pre-COVID levels. Air traffic growth has historically proven resilient during recessions.

The Fund used foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate the purchase and sale of equities traded on international exchanges. The effect of these contracts on performance was not material.

International investments entail risks including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability. Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in established foreign markets due to increased volatility, lower trading volume, and higher risk of market closures. In many emerging markets, there is substantially less publicly available information and the available information may be incomplete or misleading. Legal claims are generally more difficult to pursue.

Investments in small and/or medium-sized companies typically exhibit greater risk and higher volatility than larger, more established companies.

The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund’s investments.

The “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph assumes $10,000 invested in Institutional Class and Class A shares of the Fund on November 30, 2012, and includes the effect of a 5.75% front-end sales charge (for Class A shares) and the reinvestment of all distributions. The graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholders would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Expense limitations were in effect for some or all of the periods shown. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect. Expenses are listed in the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 11. Please note additional details on pages 10 through 13.

The graph also assumes $10,000 invested in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as of November 30, 2012. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index represents large- and mid-cap stocks across emerging market countries worldwide. The index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. Index “net” return approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment, after deduction of withholding tax at the highest possible rate. Index “gross” return approximates the maximum possible dividend reinvestment.

Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Performance of other Fund classes will vary due to different charges and expenses.

Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class C shares, excluding sales charges, assumes either that CDSCs did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.

Class R shares are available only for certain retirement plan products. They are sold without a sales charge and have an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.50% of average daily net assets.

Investments in small and/or medium-sized companies typically exhibit greater risk and higher volatility than larger, more established companies.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022.

Actual expenses

The first section of the tables shown, “Actual Fund return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Funds’ expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Security Valuation — Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If, on a particular day, an equity security or ETF does not trade, the mean between the bid and the ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and the ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ valuation designee, Delaware Management Company (DMC). Subject to the oversight of the Funds Board

Table of Contents

of Trustees (Board), DMC, as valuation designee, has adopted policies and procedures to fair value securities for which market quotations are not readily available consistent with the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. Restricted securities are valued at fair value.

Federal Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on each Fund’s federal income tax returns through the year ended November 30, 2022, and for all open tax years (years ended November 30, 2019-November 30, 2022), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. In regard to foreign taxes only, each Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries in which it invests in that may date back to the inception of each Fund. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” on the “Statements of operations.” During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting — Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. Class R6 shares will not be allocated any expenses related to service fees, sub-accounting fees, and/or sub-transfer agency fees paid to brokers, dealers, or other financial intermediaries.

Underlying Funds — The Funds may invest in other investment companies (Underlying Funds) to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Underlying Funds in which the Funds may invest include ETFs. A Fund will indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with each Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into US dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the US dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Funds generally do not bifurcate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) prices. These gains and losses are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) on investments.” Each Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other assets without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage and involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the instrument. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, among other things, the Funds must either use derivative financial instruments with embedded leverage in a limited manner or comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value-at-risk. Each Fund’s successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation the Funds can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. Each Fund’s investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Segregation and Collateralizations - In certain cases, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third-party broker-dealers, the Funds may deliver collateral in connection with certain investments (e.g., futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, securities with extended settlement periods, and swaps). Certain countries require that cash reserves be held while investing in companies incorporated in that country. These cash reserves and cash collateral that has been pledged/received to cover obligations of the Funds under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately on the “Statements of assets and liabilities” as cash collateral due to/from broker. Securities collateral pledged for the same purpose, if any, is noted on the “Schedules of investments.”

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to each Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds by Macquarie^®(Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the

Table of Contents

securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Income and capital gain distributions from any investment companies (Underlying Funds) in which the fund invests are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that a Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings, a portion of which may be reclaimable. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Each Fund may pay foreign capital gains taxes on certain foreign securities held, which are reported as components of realized losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary loss for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund will accrue such taxes as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Each Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than $1, the expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses” with the corresponding expenses offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates

In accordance with the terms of its respective investment management agreement, each Fund pays DMC, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

	Delaware Emerging Markets Fund	Delaware International Small Cap Fund	Delaware International Value Equity Fund
On the first $500 million	1.2500%	0.8500%	0.8500%
On the next $500 million	1.2000%	0.8000%	0.8000%

DMC may permit its affiliates, Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL) and Macquarie Funds Management Hong Kong Limited (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”), to execute Fund equity security trades on behalf of the Manager. The Manager may also seek quantitative support from MIMGL. Although the Affiliated Sub-Advisors serve as sub-advisors, DMC has ultimate responsibility for all investment advisory services. For these services, DMC, not the Funds, may pay each Affiliated Sub-Advisor a portion of its investment management fee.

Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administrative oversight services to each Fund. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the aggregate daily net assets of all funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rates: 0.00475% of the first $35 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; 0.0025% of the next $45 billion; and 0.0015% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $90 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Delaware Funds pays a minimum of $4,000, which, in aggregate, is subtracted from the Total Fee. Each fund then pays its portion of the remainder of the Total Fee on a relative NAV basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Accounting and

Delaware International Small Cap Fund		10,026
Delaware International Value Equity Fund		18,320

DIFSC is also the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of the Funds. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the aggregate daily net assets of the retail funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rates: 0.014% of the first $20 billion; 0.011% of the next $5 billion; 0.007% of the next $5 billion; 0.004% of the next $20 billion; 0.002% of the next $25 billion; and 0.0015% of average daily net assets in excess of $75 billion. The fees payable to DIFSC under the shareholder services agreement described above are allocated among all retail funds in the Delaware Funds on a relative NAV basis. This amount is included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” For the year ended November 30, 2022, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:

Fund	Fees
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund	$	531,760
Delaware International Small Cap Fund		7,652
Delaware International Value Equity Fund		40,675

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYMIS), BNYMIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to the Funds. Sub-transfer agency fees are paid by the Funds and are also included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” The fees that are calculated daily and paid as invoices are received on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, each Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25%, 1.00%, and 0.50% of average daily net assets of the Class A, Class C, and Class R shares, respectively. The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Institutional Class and Class R6 shares do not pay 12b-1 fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, each Fund bears a portion of the cost of certain resources shared with DMC, including the cost of internal personnel of DMC and/or its affiliates that provide legal and regulatory reporting services to the Funds. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Legal fees.” For the year ended November 30, 2022, each Fund was charged for internal legal and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees as follows:

Delaware Emerging Markets Fund	$	5,113,894,993	$	1,144,349,019	$	(1,474,865,306	)	$	(330,516,287	)

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

Level 1	–	Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts)

Level 2	–	Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities,

		prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)

Level 3	–	Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of November 30, 2022:

Table of Contents

During the year ended November 30, 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 investments. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 investments based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the year in relation to that Fund’s net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to each Fund’s net assets at the beginning or end of the year. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 inputs since the Level 3 investments are not considered significant to each Fund’s net assets at the end of the year.

During the year ended November 30, 2022, Delaware International Value Equity Fund had no Level 3 investments.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net gains on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

	Ordinary income		Long-term capital gains		Total
Year ended November 30, 2022:
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund	$	219,173,691	$	—	$	219,173,691
Delaware International Small Cap Fund		10,446		5,675,438		5,685,884

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of November 30, 2022, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

	Delaware Emerging Markets Fund			Delaware International Small Cap Fund			Delaware International Value Equity Fund
Shares of beneficial interest	$	5,127,305,429		$	75,054,187		$	395,690,078
Undistributed ordinary income		72,979,389			360,906			4,383,117
Capital loss carryforwards		(95,911,582	)		(8,224,089	)		(6,348,787	)
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, foreign currencies, and derivatives		(355,210,461	)		4,268,445			(53,819,835	)
Net assets	$	4,749,162,775		$	71,459,449		$	339,904,573

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, tax treatment of forward currency contracts, tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), and securities no longer considered PFICs.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended November 30, 2022, the Funds have no reclassifications.

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. At November 30, 2022, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund utilized 110,715,966 capital loss carryforwards.

Delaware International Small Cap Fund and Delaware International Value Equity Fund did not utilize capital loss carryforward for 2022.

7. Reorganization

On July 9, 2021, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize Delaware International Fund, a series of Delaware Group® Equity Funds IV (the “Acquired Fund”) with and into Delaware International Value Equity Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), (the “Reorganization”). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”): (i) all of the property, assets, and goodwill of the Acquired Fund were acquired by the Acquiring Fund, and (ii) the Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, assumed the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. In accordance with the Plan, the Acquired Fund liquidated and dissolved following the Reorganization. The purpose of the transaction was to allow shareholders of the Acquired Fund to own shares of a Fund with a similar investment objective and style as, and potentially lower net expenses than the Acquired Fund. The Reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on July 9, 2021. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

7. Reorganization (continued)

The share transactions associated with the Reorganization are as follows:

	Acquired Fund Net Assets		Acquired Fund Shares Outstanding		Shares Converted to Acquiring Fund		Acquiring Fund Net Assets		Conversion Ratio
	Delaware International Fund				Delaware International Value Equity Fund
Class A	$	123,151,872		8,950,423		7,352,351	$	108,216,266		0.8215
Institutional Class		130,443,502		9,193,655		7,755,262		272,890,128		0.8435
Class R6		184,692		12,928		10,980		2,036,414		0.8493

The net assets of the Acquiring Fund before the Reorganization were $394,025,097. The net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately following the Reorganization were $647,805,163.

Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on December 1, 2020, the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended November 30, 2021, would have been as follows:

	Delaware International Value Equity Fund
Net investment income		$	6,977,433
Net realized gain on investments			51,709,316
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)			(566,877	)
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations		$	58,119,872

8. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $355,000,000 revolving line of credit (Agreement) intended to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the Agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which was allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit available under the Agreement expired on October 31, 2022.

On October 31, 2022, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $355,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used as described above. It operates in substantially the same manner as the Original Agreement. Under the amendment to the agreement, the Participants are charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which is allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on October 30, 2023.

Each Fund had no amounts outstanding as of November 30, 2022, or at any time during the year then ended.

9. Derivatives

US GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Each Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. Each Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. Each Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, each Fund may enter into these contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, each Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between each Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to each Fund to cover each Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

During the year ended November 30, 2022, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund and Delaware International Small Cap Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. Delaware International Value Equity Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency contracts in order to fix the US dollar value of a security between trade date and settlement date.

During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Funds experienced net realized and unrealized gains or losses attributable to foreign currency holdings, which are disclosed on the “Statements of assets and liabilities” and “Statements of operations.”

The table below summarizes the average daily balance of derivative holdings by each Fund during the year ended November 30, 2022:

Foreign currency exchange contracts (average notional value)	$	607,958	$	128,475	$	837,090

10. Offsetting

Each Fund entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar agreement with certain of their derivative contract counterparties in order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help each Fund mitigate its counterparty risk. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, each Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements on the “Statements of assets and liabilities.”

Securities Lending

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under master securities lending agreements (each, an MSLA) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower

106

Table of Contents

defaults, the Funds, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Funds can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral (see also Note 11).

As of November 30, 2022, the following table is a summary of each Fund’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA: Delaware International Value Equity Fund

Counterparty		Securities Loaned at Value				Cash Collateral Received^(a)				Fair Value of Non-Cash Collateral Received				Net Collateral Received				Net Exposure^(b)
Bank of New York Mellon		$	231,941			$	(231,941	)			$—			$	(231,941	)			$—

^(a)	The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the derivatives and securities lending transactions as of November 30, 2022, as applicable.
^(b)	Net exposure represents the receivable (payable) that would be due from (to) the counterparty in the event of default.

11. Securities Lending

Each Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (1) 102% with respect to US securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in US dollars; and (2) 105% with respect to foreign securities. With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day, which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower, BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security on any particular day, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. The collateral percentage with respect to the market value of the loaned security is determined by the security lending agent.

107

Notes to financial statements
Delaware International Funds

11. Securities Lending (continued)

Cash collateral received by each fund of the Trust is generally invested in a series of individual separate accounts, each corresponding to a fund. The investment guidelines permit each separate account to hold certain securities that would be considered eligible securities for a money market fund. Cash collateral received is generally invested in government securities; certain obligations issued by government sponsored enterprises; repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasury securities; obligations issued by the central government of any Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country or its agencies, instrumentalities, or establishments; obligations of supranational organizations; commercial paper, notes, bonds, and other debt obligations; certificates of deposit, time deposits, and other bank obligations; certain money market funds; and asset-backed securities as disclosed on the “Schedules of investments.” Securities purchased with cash collateral are valued at the market value. Each Fund can also accept US government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans.

In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to each Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. Each Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to changes in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Each Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, each Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among each Fund, the security lending agent, and the borrower. Each Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

Each Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral. This could occur if an investment in each collateral investment account defaulted or became impaired. Under those circumstances, the value of each Fund’s cash collateral account may be less than the amount each Fund would be required to return to the borrowers of the securities and each Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.

12. Credit and Market Risk

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been detected globally. This coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

Beginning in late February 2022, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility related to military action by Russia in Ukraine. As a result of this military action, the US and many other countries have imposed sanctions on Russia and certain Russian individuals, banks and corporations. The ongoing hostilities and resulting sanctions are expected to have a severe adverse effect on the region’s economies and more globally, including significant negative impact on markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. Any cessation of trading on the Russian securities markets will impact the value and liquidity of certain portfolio holdings. The extent and duration of military action, sanctions, and

12. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial and prolonged and impact each Fund’s performance.

Investments in equity securities in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Funds invest will cause the NAV of the Funds to fluctuate.

Delaware Emerging Markets Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the greater China region, which consists of Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China, and Taiwan, among other countries. As a result, the Fund’s investments in the region are particularly susceptible to risks in that region. Adverse events in any one country within the region may impact the other countries in the region or Asia as a whole. As a result, adverse events in the region will generally have a greater effect on the Fund than if the Fund were more geographically diversified, which could result in greater volatility in the Fund’s net asset value and losses. Markets in the greater China region can experience significant volatility due to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties.

Some countries in which the Funds may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the major securities markets in the US. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by each Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by each Fund.

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, each Board has delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

13. Contractual Obligations

Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, each Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

14. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2022, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, Delaware International Small Cap Fund and Delaware International Value Equity Fund (constituting Delaware Group^®Global & International Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of November 30, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended November 30, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of November 30, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, broker and transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”), which requires all open-end funds (other than money market funds) to adopt and implement a program reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s “liquidity risk,” defined as the risk that the fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund.

The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Board has designated a member of the US Operational Risk Group of Macquarie Asset Management as the Program Administrator for each Fund in the Trust.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures that provide for: (1) assessment, management, and review (no less frequently than annually) of each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) classification of each of the Fund’s portfolio holdings into one of four liquidity categories (Highly Liquid, Moderately Liquid, Less Liquid, and Illiquid); (3) for funds that do not primarily hold assets that are Highly Liquid, establishing and maintaining a minimum percentage of each Fund’s net assets in Highly Liquid investments (called a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” or “HLIM”); and (4) prohibiting each Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid investments if, immediately after the acquisition, each Fund would hold more than 15% of its net assets in Illiquid assets. The Program also requires reporting to the SEC (on a non-public basis) and to the Board if each Fund’s holdings of Illiquid assets exceed 15% of each Fund’s net assets. Funds with HLIMs must have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and, with respect to HLIM shortfalls lasting more than seven consecutive calendar days, reporting to the SEC (on a non-public basis).

In assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk, the Program Administrator considers, as relevant, a variety of factors, including: (1) each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Funds during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. Classification of each Fund’s portfolio holdings in the four liquidity categories is based on the number of days it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment to cash (for Highly Liquid and Moderately Liquid holdings) or to sell or dispose of the investment (for Less Liquid and Illiquid investments), in current market conditions without significantly changing the investment’s market value. Each Fund primarily holds assets that are classified as Highly Liquid, and therefore is not required to establish an HLIM.

At a meeting of the Board held on May 17-19, 2022, the Program Administrator provided the required written annual report to the Board addressing the Program’s operation and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation for the period from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022. The report concluded that the Program is appropriately designed and effectively implemented and that it meets the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and each Fund’s liquidity needs. Each Fund’s HLIM is set at an appropriate level and the Funds complied with their HLIM at all times during the reporting period.

Board consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a meeting held August 9-11, 2022

At a meeting held on August 9-11, 2022 (the “Annual Contract Renewal Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of Trustees each of whom is not an “interested person” as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the renewal of the Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, Delaware International Small Cap Fund and Delaware International Value Equity Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”); and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (“MIMGL”) and Macquarie Funds Management Hong Kong Limited (“MFMHKL” and together with MIMGL, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”).

Prior to the Meeting, including at a Board meeting held in May 2022, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of DMC about these matters. Also, the Board was assisted by the applicable Investment Committee, with each Investment Committee assisting the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.

In providing information to the Board, DMC was guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2022. In considering and approving the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with DMC about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of DMC at each of its quarterly meetings, which included information about, among other things, Fund performance, investment strategies, and expenses. In addition, the Investment Committees confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. In considering information relating to the approval of the Funds’ Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees also received information from an independent fund consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (“JDL”).

The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.

Board consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a meeting held August 9-11, 2022 (continued)

After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements for a one-year term. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approval.

Nature, extent, and quality of services. The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services provided to the Funds by DMC under its Investment Management Agreement, and the experience of the officers and employees of DMC who provide these services, including the Funds’ portfolio managers. The Board’s review included consideration of DMC’s investment process and oversight and research and analysis capabilities, and its ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals. The Board considered information regarding DMC’s programs for risk management, including investment, operational, liquidity, valuation, and compliance risks. The Board received information with respect to the cybersecurity program and business continuity plans of DMC and its affiliates. The Board also considered non-advisory services that DMC and its affiliates provide to the Delaware Funds, including third party oversight, transfer agent, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading, and legal and compliance. The Board took into account the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of a family of funds managed by an affiliate of Macquarie Group Ltd. (“Macquarie”), the parent company of DMC, and the resources available to DMC as part of Macquarie’s global asset management business.

The Board received and considered various information with respect to the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board considered the division of responsibilities between DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the oversight provided by DMC. The Board considered the expertise of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to certain asset classes and/or investment styles. The Affiliated Sub-Advisers are part of Macquarie’s global investment platform that has offices and personnel that are located around the world. As a result, the Board noted that DMC had stated that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research, investment and trading analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Funds may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades, as applicable. The Board took into account that the Sub-Advisory Agreements may benefit the Funds and their shareholders by permitting DMC to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Funds.

The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Funds by DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.

Investment performance. The Board received and considered information with respect to the investment performance of the Funds, including performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at meetings of the Board’s Investment Committees throughout the year as well as reports provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, an independent investment company

data provider (“Broadridge”), furnished for the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for each Fund showed its investment performance in comparison to a group of similar funds (the “Performance Universe”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the funds in the Performance Universe. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods and since inception, as applicable, ended December 31, 2021.

Delaware Emerging Markets Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional emerging markets funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the third quartile, for the 3-year period was in the second quartile, and for the 5- and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was below the median and for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund was generally performing in line with its Performance Universe and benchmark during the periods under review. The Board noted the explanations from DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers concerning the reasons for the Fund’s relative performance versus the Performance Universe and its benchmark for the various periods.

Delaware International Small Cap Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional international small-/mid-cap growth funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the third quartile and for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was below the median and for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-year period and outperformed its benchmark index for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. The Board noted the explanations from DMC concerning the reasons for the Fund’s relative performance versus the Performance Universe and its benchmark for the various periods. The Board also noted that effective November 30, 2016, the Fund was repositioned as an international small-cap equity fund.

Delaware International Value Equity Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional international multi-cap core funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was below the median of its Performance Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. The Board noted the explanations from DMC concerning the reasons for the Fund’s relative underperformance versus the Performance Universe and its benchmark for

the various periods. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the current portfolio management team only began as of March 2019.

Comparative expenses. The Board received and considered expense data for the Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for each Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also considered the comparative analysis of contractual management fees and actual total expense ratios of each Fund versus contractual management fees and actual total expense ratios of a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”). In reviewing comparative costs, each Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by each Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds were similar in size to each Fund) and actual management fees, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers, with a Fund’s expense universe, which is comprised of each Fund, its Expense Group and all other similar institutional funds, excluding outliers (the “Expense Universe”). Each Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Universe. The Broadridge total expenses, for comparative consistency, were shown by Broadridge for Institutional Class shares and comparative total expenses including 12b-1 and non-12b-1 service fees.

Delaware Emerging Markets Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was above the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average.

Delaware International Small Cap Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were below its Expense Group average.

Delaware International Value Equity Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was above the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average.

The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by DMC to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing registered investment companies compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients, unregistered funds and separately managed accounts.

The Board noted that DMC, and not the Funds, pays the sub-advisory fees to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and, accordingly, that the retention of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers does not increase the fees and expenses incurred by the Funds.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to DMC under the

118

Table of Contents

Investment Management Agreement and to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Economies of scale. The Board received and considered information about the potential for DMC to realize economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Funds, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual Fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders, including the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. DMC discussed its advisory fee pricing and structure for the Delaware Funds complex, including the current breakpoints. The Board noted that, as of March 31, 2022, the Delaware Emerging Markets Fund’s net assets exceeded its third breakpoint level and the Delaware International Value Equity Fund’s net assets exceeded its first breakpoint level, and that breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints schedule are exceeded. The Board noted that the Funds may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as DMC’s investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

Management profitability. The Board received and considered the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC’s business in providing management and other services to each Fund and the Delaware Funds as a whole, including the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. The Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding DMC’s profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees discussed DMC’s profitability in such context with representatives from JDL. Based on its review, the Board determined that DMC’s profitability was not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund.

Ancillary benefits. The Board received and considered information regarding the extent to which DMC and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as investment manager to the Delaware Funds; the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies; and the fees that various affiliates received for serving as transfer agent and for overseeing fund accounting and financial administration services to the Delaware Funds. The Board received information from DMC regarding its view of the performance of its affiliates in providing transfer agent and fund accounting and financial administration oversight services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services pursuant to their contracts with the Funds.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Funds and the ongoing commitment of DMC and its affiliates to the Funds, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by DMC and its affiliates were unreasonable.

Conclusion. Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board, including all of the

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum
Delaware Funds by Macquarie^®

A mutual fund is governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place. The following is a list of the Trustees and Officers as of December 31, 2022 with certain background and related information.
