DELAWARE POOLED TRUST
Macquarie Labor Select International Equity Portfolio
Macquarie Emerging Markets Portfolio
(each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”)
Supplement to the Portfolios’ Prospectus dated February 25, 2022
On August 11, 2022, the Board of Trustees of Delaware Pooled Trust unanimously voted and approved a proposal to liquidate and dissolve the Portfolios. The date for the liquidation has not been
determined. However, the liquidations and dissolutions are expected to take effect following notification of shareholders of the liquidation date (“Liquidation Date”), and such notification will occur at least ten (10) business days prior to the
liquidation. On the Liquidation Date, the proceeds (less mandatory tax withholding) will be provided to the shareholder 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. With respect to the Macquarie Emerging Markets Portfolio,
redemption reimbursement fees will not be charged on liquidation proceeds.
As a result of the decision to pursue liquidation and dissolution of the Macquarie Labor Select International Equity Portfolio, the Macquarie Labor Select International Equity
Portfolio will be closed to new investors and all sales efforts will cease as of the date of this Supplement. The Macquarie Emerging Markets Portfolio is presently closed to new investors. However, the Portfolios are currently expected to continue to
accept purchases from existing shareholders (including reinvested dividends or capital gains) until approximately five (5) business days before the Liquidation Date.
Until the Liquidation Date, shareholders of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Labor Select International Equity Portfolio — Information about the purchase and redemption of Portfolio shares, taxes, and payments to intermediaries”:
The Portfolio will be liquidating and is therefore closed to new investors. Existing shareholders of the Portfolio may continue to purchase shares until five (5) business days before
the liquidation date, which date will be communicated to shareholders at least ten (10) business days prior to the liquidation.
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 — Information about the purchase and redemption of Portfolio shares, taxes, and payments to intermediaries”:
The Portfolio will be liquidating and is currently closed to new investors. Existing shareholders of the Portfolio may continue to purchase shares until five (5) business days before
the liquidation date, which date will be communicated to shareholders at least ten (10) business days prior to the liquidation. The redemption reimbursement fee described in the fee table below will not be charged on liquidation proceeds.
Effective the date of this Supplement, footnote 1 to the table under “Annual portfolio operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the
value of your investment” under the prospectus section entitled “What are the Portfolio’s fees and expenses?” is deleted and restated as follows:
The purchase reimbursement fees and redemption reimbursement fees are paid to the Portfolio. These fees are designed to reflect an approximation of the brokerage
and other transaction costs associated with the investment of an investor’s purchase amount or the disposition of assets to meet redemptions, and to limit the extent to which the Portfolio (and, indirectly, the Portfolio’s existing shareholders)
would
have to bear such costs. In lieu of the reimbursement fees, investors in Macquarie Emerging Markets Portfolio may be permitted to utilize alternative purchase and redemption methods
designed to accomplish the same economic effect as the reimbursement fees. In the event of a fund liquidation, the redemption reimbursement fee will not be charged on liquidation proceeds.
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 a
Portfolio.
