Currently scheduled to occur on or about June 24, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the transfer agent for certain Funds that became part of the Delaware Funds on April 30, 2021 (the “Transaction Funds”) will transition from Waddell & Reed
Services Company, doing business as WI Services Company (“WISC”), to Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (“DIFSC”).
On the Effective Date, all references to the inability to combine holdings or purchases of the Transaction Funds with the other Delaware Funds, such as in the “How to reduce your sales charge – Letter of intent and rights of accumulation”,
“How to reduce your sales charge – Reinvestment of redeemed shares”, and “How to buy shares – Limitations on exchanges” sections in the Prospectuses, are hereby removed from the Prospectuses and SAIs.

2. |
Effective immediately, the following replaces the third paragraph in the section entitled “About your account – Investing in the Fund(s)” of the Funds’ Prospectuses:
Please also see the “Broker-defined sales charge waiver policies” section in this Prospectus for information provided to the Fund by certain financial intermediaries on sales charge discounts and waivers that may be available to you
through your financial intermediary. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through a financial intermediary may also be eligible for sales charge discounts or waivers which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Prospectus or SAI.
The availability of certain initial or deferred sales charge waivers and discounts may depend on the particular financial intermediary or type of account through which you purchase or hold Fund shares. It is the responsibility of the
financial intermediary to implement any of its proprietary sales charge discounts or waivers listed in “Broker-defined sales charge waiver policies” or otherwise offered by a financial intermediary. Accordingly, you should consult with your
financial intermediary to determine whether you qualify for any sales charge discounts or waivers.

Effective immediately, the following replaces the first paragraph in the section entitled “Broker-defined sales charge waiver policies” of the Funds’ Prospectuses:
From time to time, shareholders purchasing fund shares through a brokerage platform or account may be eligible for sales charge waivers (front-end sales load or CDSC) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this
Prospectus or the SAI. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Funds or the purchaser’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge
waivers or discounts. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase a Fund’s shares directly from the fund or through another intermediary to receive such waivers or discounts.
Please see the section entitled About Your Account — Choosing a Share Class for more information on sales charges and waivers available for different classes.
