The reference rate descriptions (i.e. SOFR01M, SOFR03M, etc.) used in this report are identical for different securities, but the underlying reference rates may differ due to the timing of the reset period. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

Notes to financial statements
Macquarie Funds Minnesota municipal bond funds       February 28, 2025 (Unaudited)
Voyageur Mutual Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers five series: Macquarie Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund through December 30, 2024), Macquarie National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund through December 30, 2024), Macquarie Tax-Free California Fund (formerly, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund through December 30, 2024), Macquarie Tax-Free Idaho Fund (formerly, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund through December 30, 2024), and Macquarie Tax-Free New York Fund (formerly, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund through December 30, 2024). Voyageur Tax Free Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers Macquarie Tax-Free Minnesota Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds and Voyageur Tax Free Funds, are each referred to as a Trust, or collectively, as the Trusts. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Macquarie Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund and Macquarie Tax-Free Minnesota Fund (each, a Fund, or collectively, the Funds). Each Trust is an open-end investment company. Each Fund is considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and offers Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $250,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $250,000 or more of Class A shares, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (Limited CDSC) of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first 18 months after your purchase, unless a specific waiver of the Limited CDSC applies. Class C shares have no upfront sales charge, but are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00%, which will be incurred if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation — Fixed income securities are generally priced based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker in accordance with methodologies included within Delaware Management Company (DMC)’s Pricing Policy (Policy). Fixed income security valuations are then reviewed by DMC as part of its duties as each Fund’s valuation designee (Valuation Designee) and, to the extent required by the Policy and applicable regulation, fair valued consistent with the Policy. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5
52    

 

Table of Contents
under the 1940 Act (Rule 2a-5). As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board of Trustees (Board) has designated DMC to perform the fair value determination relating to all applicable Fund investments. DMC has established a Pricing Committee to assist with its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee, and DMC may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through the Pricing Committee and other teams and committees, which operate under policies and procedures approved by the Board and subject to the Board's oversight. Fair value pricing may be used more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Valuation Designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of US securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The Valuation Designee may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-US securities.
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 six months ended February 28, 2025, and for all open tax years (years ended August 31, 2021–August 31, 2024), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest and tax penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest and tax penalties” on the “Statements of operations.” During the six months ended February 28, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.
Class Accounting — Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of “settled shares” of each class in relation to the net assets of each Fund. 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.
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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Other — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to such Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Macquarie Funds (formerly, Delaware Funds by Macquarie®) 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 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. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, at least annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, with the intent of improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole thereby enabling better understanding of how an entity's segments impact overall performance. DMC, each Fund's investment adviser, acts as each Fund's chief operating decision maker (CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that each Fund has a single operating segment since each Fund has a single investment strategy disclosed in the prospectus against which the CODM assesses performance. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources, the CODM relies on each Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the information contained in each Fund's financial statements. Adoption of the new standard impacted each Fund's financial statements note disclosures only, and did not affect either Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.
Each Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Custodian fees” with the corresponding expenses offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.” For the six months ended February 28, 2025, each Fund earned the following amounts under this arrangement:

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 Macquarie Funds at the following annual rates: 0.0050% of the first $60 billion; 0.00475% of the next $30 billion; and 0.0015% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $90 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Macquarie 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 net asset value (NAV) basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Accounting and administration expenses.” For the six months ended February 28, 2025, each Fund paid for these services as follows:

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYIS), BNYIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to the Funds. Sub-transfer agency fees are paid by each Fund and are also included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” The fees are calculated daily and paid as invoices 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, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25%, and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, and Class C shares, respectively. The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Institutional Class shares do not pay a 12b-1 fee.
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 six months ended February 28, 2025, each Fund paid for internal legal and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees as follows:

Macquarie Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund   $1,342   $38
Macquarie Tax-Free Minnesota Fund   656   153
Trustees’ fees include expenses accrued by each Fund for each Trustee’s retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC, DIFSC, and DDLP are officers and/or Trustees of the Trusts. These officers and Trustees are paid no compensation by the Funds.
MIMBT, of which DMC is a series, entered into a settlement agreement on September 19, 2024 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) consenting to an order (Settlement Order) relating to a legacy investment strategy, the Absolute Return Mortgage-Backed Securities Strategy (ARMBS Strategy). MIMBT no longer offers the ARMBS Strategy. MIMBT agreed to the Settlement Order without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings. The Settlement Order does not impact MIMBT’s ability to continue to provide services to each Fund.
During the six months ended February 28, 2025, DMC reimbursed each Fund the following amounts in connection with a trade error. These amounts are included in “Net increase from payment by affiliates” in the "Statements of operations.” Payment by affiliates had no impact on total return for either of the Funds.

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
    59

Notes to financial statements
Macquarie Funds Minnesota municipal bond funds       
3. Investments (continued)
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, forward 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 February 28, 2025:

During the six months ended February 28, 2025, 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 period in relation to that Fund’s net assets. As of February 28, 2025, there were no Level 3 investments in either of the Funds.

5. Reorganization
The following reorganization did not take place during the reporting period covered by this report. On January 16, 2024, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), a series of Voyageur Intermediate Tax Free Funds, with and into Macquarie Tax-Free Minnesota Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of Voyageur Tax Free Funds (the “Trust”) (the “Reorganization”). Acquired Fund shareholders approved the Reorganization on April 30, 2024. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”): (i) all of the property and assets 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. In approving the Reorganization, the Board considered various factors, including that the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund share substantially similar investment objectives, principal investment strategies and principal risks, and identical fundamental investment restrictions and that the Acquiring Fund's overall total expense ratio is expected to be equal to the corresponding Acquired Fund's total expense ratio following the Reorganization taking into account applicable expense limitation arrangements. The Reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on June 7, 2024. 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

The net assets of the Acquired Fund before the Reorganization were $54,922,004. The Acquired Fund net assets and shares outstanding presented on the table above do not include the shareholders that did not participate in the Reorganization. The net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately following the Reorganization were $541,858,803.
Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on September 1, 2023, the Acquiring Fund's pro forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2024, would have been as follows:
Net investment income $19,427,043
Net realized loss on investments (7,107,416)
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 24,932,554
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations $37,252,181
6. Line of Credit
Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Macquarie Funds (Participants), is a participant in a $335,000,000 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 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 Participants are permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant is 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 28, 2024. This Agreement was extended to October 27, 2025.
Each Fund had no amounts outstanding as of February 28, 2025, or at any time during the period then ended.

7. Securities Lending
Each Fund, along with other funds in the Macquarie Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY). 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 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.
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. 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
    65

Notes to financial statements
Macquarie Funds Minnesota municipal bond funds       
7. Securities Lending (continued)
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.
During the six months ended February 28, 2025, each Fund had no securities out on loan.
8. Geographic, Credit and Market Risks
When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e. debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. A fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.
The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities, mainly in Minnesota, and are subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in US territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam, whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes.
Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction, or through a combination of such approaches. Each Fund will not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.
From time to time, each Fund may invest in industrial development bonds (IDBs) or pollution control revenue (PCR) bonds that are issued by a conduit authority on behalf of a corporation that is either foreign owned or has international affiliates or operations. While the bonds may be issued to finance a facility located in the US, the bonds may be secured by a payment obligation or guaranty of the corporation. To the extent each Fund invests in such securities, that Fund may be exposed to risks associated with international investments. The risk of international investments not ordinarily associated with US investments includes fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, and/or economic or political instability in other nations.
66    

 

Table of Contents
Each Fund may invest in advance refunded bonds, escrow secured bonds, or defeased bonds. Under current federal tax laws and regulations, state and local government borrowers are permitted to refinance outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. The issuer refinances the outstanding debt to either reduce interest costs or to remove or alter restrictive covenants imposed by the bonds being refinanced. A refunding transaction where the municipal securities are being refunded within 90 days from the issuance of the refunding issue is known as a “current refunding.” “Advance refunded bonds’’ are bonds in which the refunded bond issue remains outstanding for more than 90 days following the issuance of the refunding issue. In an advance refunding, the issuer will use the proceeds of a new bond issue to purchase high grade interest-bearing debt securities, which are then deposited in an irrevocable escrow account held by an escrow agent to secure all future payments of principal and interest and bond premium of the advance refunded bond. Bonds are “escrowed to maturity” when the proceeds of the refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the original interest payment and maturity dates.
Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issuer’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed secured bonds will often receive a rating of AAA from Moody’s, S&P, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.
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, the 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.”
9. 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.
