DELAWARE POOLED TRUST
Macquarie Emerging Markets Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”)
Supplement to the Portfolio’s Prospectus dated February 25, 2022
On May 19, 2022, the Board of Trustees of Delaware Pooled Trust unanimously voted and approved a proposal to liquidate and dissolve the Portfolio. The
liquidation and dissolution are expected to take effect on or about June 3, 2022 (“Liquidation Date”) and the proceeds (less mandatory tax withholding) will be mailed to the address of record if no action is taken. For Portfolio accounts with automated purchases, exchanges, and/or withdrawals established, these transactions will cease prior to liquidation if no action is taken.
As a result of the decision to pursue liquidation and dissolution of the Portfolio, the Portfolio will be closed to new investors and all sales efforts will
cease as of May 20, 2022. However, the Portfolio will continue to accept purchases from existing shareholders (including reinvested dividends or capital gains) until five (5) business days before the Liquidation Date.
Until the Liquidation Date, shareholders of the Portfolio will have the opportunity to exchange their shares for Institutional class share of any other
Delaware Funds by Macquarie® fund. Any exchange would be made at the
current net asset values of the Portfolio and the selected Delaware Fund.
Effective the date of this Supplement, the following is inserted before the first paragraph of the Portfolio’s prospectus section
entitled, “Portfolio summaries: Macquarie Emerging Markets Portfolio II — Information about the purchase and redemption of Portfolio shares, taxes, and payments to intermediaries:
The Portfolio is liquidating and is therefore closed to new investors. Existing shareholders of the Portfolio may continue to purchase shares until five (5)
business days before June 3, 2022.
Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, you should consult your tax professional about federal, state, local, or foreign tax
consequences before making an investment in the Portfolio.
