What is the Fund’s investment objective?
Delaware Ivy Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide the level of current income consistent with preservation of capital and that is not subject to federal income tax.
|
What is the Fund’s investment objective?
Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund seeks as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax as is available from municipal

obligations and as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital.
|
Delaware Ivy Municipal Bond Fund (Acquired Fund)
|
Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund
(Acquiring Fund)
|
What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Delaware Ivy Municipal Bond Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds. The Fund mainly invests in municipal bonds of investment grade and of any
maturity. Municipal bonds are obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Guam), the interest on which is
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, although a portion of such interest may be an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) (Tax Preference Item). Investment grade debt
securities include debt securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (S&P), or
|
What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities the income from which is exempt from federal income tax, including the federal
alternative minimum tax. This is a fundamental investment policy that may not be changed without prior shareholder approval.
The Fund will invest primarily in municipal debt obligations that are issued by state and local governments to raise funds for various public purposes such as hospitals, schools, and general capital expenses. The Fund may invest up to
20% of its net assets in high yield fixed income securities (junk bonds). The Fund will invest its assets in
|
comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined by Delaware Management Company (Manager), the Fund’s investment manager, to be of comparable quality.
The Fund diversifies its holdings between two main types of municipal bonds:
•General obligation bonds, which are backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the governmental authority.
•Revenue bonds, which are payable only from specific sources, such as the revenue from a particular project, a special tax, lease payments and/or appropriated funds. Revenue bonds include certain private activity bonds (PABs), which
finance privately operated facilities. Revenue bonds also include housing bonds that finance pools of single-family home mortgages and multi-family housing projects and student loan bonds that finance pools of student loans as well as
bonds that finance charter schools. Revenue bonds also include tobacco bonds that are issued by state-created special purpose entities as a means to securitize a state’s share of annual tobacco settlement revenues.
The Manager attempts to enhance Fund performance by utilizing opportunities presented by the shape and slope of the yield curve. As an overlay to this core strategy, the Manager attempts to identify and capitalize on relative value
opportunities that exist between sectors, states (including US possessions), security structures and ratings categories. The Manager monitors relative attractiveness to other taxable fixed-income asset classes, as well as municipal
market supply/demand patterns, expectations of US Treasury (Treasury) market performance and overall market liquidity, tax policies and other technical factors, in seeking to identify opportunities for the Fund.
The Manager may look at a number of factors in selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio. These include the security’s current coupon, the maturity, relative value and market yield of the security, the creditworthiness of the
particular issuer or of the private company involved, the sector in which the security is identified, the structure of the security, including whether it has a call feature, and the state in which the security is issued.
The Manager seeks to emphasize prudent diversification among sectors, states, security structures, position sizes and ratings categories, in an attempt to reduce overall portfolio risk and
|
securities with maturities of various lengths, depending on market conditions, but will typically have a dollar-weighted average effective maturity of between 5 and 30 years. The Manager will adjust the average maturity of the bonds
in the portfolio to attempt to provide a high level of tax-exempt income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s income level will vary depending on current interest rates and the specific securities in the portfolio. The
Fund may concentrate its investments in certain types of bonds or in a certain segment of the municipal bond market when the supply of bonds in other sectors does not suit its investment needs. The types of municipal debt obligations in
which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, advance refunded bonds, revenue bonds, general obligation bonds, insured municipal bonds, private activity bonds, municipal leases, and certificates of participation.
|
performance volatility as well as to emphasize capital preservation. However, the Fund may invest significantly in municipal bonds payable from revenues derived from similar projects, such as those in the healthcare, transportation
and utility sectors.
Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager uses the same type of analysis that it uses when buying securities to determine whether the security continues to be a desired investment for the Fund. The Manager
also may sell a security to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities or to raise cash.

What are the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions?
The Acquiring Fund shall not:
1. Borrow money or issue senior securities, except as the 1940 Act, any rule or order thereunder, or SEC staff interpretation thereof, may permit.
2. Underwrite the securities of other issuers, except that the Fund may engage in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition, or resale of its portfolio securities under circumstances where it may be considered to be an
underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).
3. Make personal loans or loans of its assets to persons who control or are under common control with a Fund, except as the 1940 Act, any rule or order thereunder, or SEC staff interpretation thereof, may permit. This restriction
does not prevent a Fund from, among other things, purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements, loaning its assets to broker/dealers or institutional investors, or investing in loans, including assignments and
participation interests.
4. Purchase or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments and provided that this restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers which invest, deal, or otherwise
engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein.
5. Purchase or sell physical commodities, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments and provided that this restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving futures
contracts and options thereon or investing in securities that are secured by physical commodities.
6. Make investments that will result in the concentration (as that term may be defined in the 1940 Act, any rule or order thereunder, or U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff interpretation thereof) of its investments
in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry, provided that this restriction does not limit the Fund from investing in obligations issued or

concentration (as that term may be defined in the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and any applicable exemptive relief) of its investments in securities of issuers in any one industry.
7. The Fund may not issue senior securities except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or
permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority of competent jurisdiction.

Delaware Ivy Municipal High Income Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income that is not subject to federal income tax.

What is the Fund’s investment objective?
Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax primarily through investment in medium- and lower-grade municipal obligations.
|
Delaware Ivy Municipal High Income Fund (Acquired Fund)

(Acquiring Fund)
|
What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Delaware Ivy Municipal High Income Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds. Municipal bonds are obligations issued by or
on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Guam), the interest on which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes, although a significant portion of such interest may be an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) (Tax Preference Item). (Under 2017 legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act, corporations no longer are subject to the AMT for taxable years of the corporation beginning after December 31, 2017.)
The Fund typically invests at least 65% of its total assets in medium- and lower-quality bonds that include bonds rated BBB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (S&P), or comparably rated by
another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined by Delaware Management Company (Manager) to be of comparable quality. Such investments include non-investment grade debt securities, commonly
called “high yield” or “junk” bonds, which typically are rated BB+ or lower by S&P, or comparably rated by another NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its
total assets in non-investment grade bonds. Although the Manager considers credit ratings in selecting investments for the Fund, the Manager bases its investment decision for a particular instrument primarily on its own credit analysis
and not on a NRSRO’s credit rating. The
|
What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal securities the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. This is a
fundamental investment policy that may not be changed without prior shareholder approval.
Municipal debt obligations are issued by state and local governments to raise funds for various public purposes such as hospitals, schools, and general capital expenses. The Fund will invest its assets in securities with maturities of
various lengths, depending on market conditions, but will typically have a dollar-weighted average effective maturity between 5 and 30 years. The Manager will adjust the average maturity of the bonds in the portfolio to attempt to provide
a high level of tax-exempt income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s income will vary depending on current interest rates and the specific securities in the portfolio. The Fund may concentrate its investments in certain
types of bonds or in a certain segment of the municipal bond market when the supply of bonds in other sectors does not suit its investment needs. The types of municipal debt obligations in which the Fund may invest include, but are not
limited to, advance refunded bonds, revenue bonds, general obligation bonds, insured municipal bonds, private activity bonds, municipal leases, and certificates of participation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest primarily
in lower-rated municipal securities, which typically offer higher income potential and involve greater risk than higher-quality securities.
|
Manager will consider, among other things, the issuer’s financial resources and operating history, its sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, its debt maturity schedules and borrowing requirements, and relative values based on
anticipated cash flow, and interest and asset coverage.
The Fund may invest in higher-quality municipal bonds at times when yield spreads are narrow and the Manager believes that the higher yields do not justify the increased risk, and/or when, in the opinion of the Manager, there is a lack
of medium- and lower-quality bonds in which to invest.
After conducting a top-down (assessing the market environment) analysis of the municipal high income market, the Manager uses a research-oriented, bottom-up (researching individual issuers) credit-by-credit investment approach. The
Manager considers a number of factors in selecting individual securities for the Fund’s portfolio, including the security’s current coupon, the maturity, relative value and market yield of the security, the creditworthiness of the
particular issuer or of the private company involved, the sector in which the security is identified, the structure of the security, including whether it has a call feature, and the state in which the security is issued.
The Fund primarily invests in revenue bonds: revenue bonds are payable only from specific sources, such as the revenue from a particular project, a special tax, lease payments and/or appropriated funds. Revenue bonds include certain
private activity bonds (PABs), which finance privately operated facilities. Revenue bonds also include housing bonds that finance pools of single-family home mortgages and student loan bonds that finance pools of student loans, as well as
bonds that finance charter schools. Revenue bonds also include tobacco bonds that are issued by state-created special purpose entities as a means to securitize a state’s share of annual tobacco settlement revenues.
The Fund may invest in PABs in general, in revenue bonds payable from revenues derived from similar projects, such as those in the health care, life care, education, transportation and special tax sectors, and in municipal bonds of
issuers located in the same geographical area.
Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager uses the same type of analysis that it uses when buying securities to determine whether the security continues to be a desired investment for the Fund, including
consideration of the security’s
|
current credit quality. Additionally, the Manager may sell a security to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities or to raise cash.

Delaware Ivy California Municipal High Income Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal securities with income payments that are
exempt from Federal and California income taxes. These municipal securities primarily include obligations issued by the State of California and its subdivisions, authorities, instrumentalities and corporations. It is possible that up to
20% of the Fund’s net assets may be in securities that pay taxable income. A significant portion of the current income paid by the Fund may be a tax preference item for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) (Tax Preference
Item). (Under 2017 legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, corporations no longer are subject to the AMT for taxable years of the corporation beginning after December 31, 2017.)
The Fund typically invests at least 50% of its total assets in medium- and lower-quality municipal securities that include securities rated BBB+ by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) or similarly rated by another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, in the Manager’s opinion, that are equivalent in quality. Such investments include non-investment grade debt securities, commonly called “high yield” or “junk” bonds, which typically
are rated BBB- or lower by S&P or comparably rated by another NRSRO or, if unrated, of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in non-investment grade bonds.
The Fund may invest in higher-quality municipal securities at times when yield spreads are narrow and the Manager believes that the higher yields do not justify the increased risk, and/or when, in the opinion of the Manager, there is a
lack of medium and lower-quality securities in which to invest.
After conducting a top-down (assessing the market environment) analysis, the Manager uses a research-oriented, bottom-up (researching individual issuers) credit-by-credit investment approach. The Manager considers a number of factors
in selecting individual securities for the Fund’s portfolio, including the security’s current coupon, the maturity, relative value and market yield of the security, the creditworthiness of the particular issuer or of the private company
involved, the sector in which the security is identified, and the structure of the security, including whether it has a call feature.
The Fund primarily invests in revenue bonds: revenue bonds are payable only from specific
|
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal securities the income from which is exempt from federal income tax, including
the federal alternative minimum tax, and from California state personal income taxes. This is a fundamental investment policy that may not be changed without prior shareholder approval.
Municipal debt obligations are issued by state and local governments to raise funds for various public purposes such as hospitals, schools, and general capital expenses. Municipal debt obligations in which the Fund may invest may
also include securities issued by US territories and possessions (such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands) to the extent that these securities are also exempt from federal income tax and California state
personal income taxes. The types of municipal debt obligations in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, advance refunded bonds, revenue bonds, general obligation bonds, insured municipal bonds, private activity
bonds, municipal leases, and certificates of participation. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in high yield (junk) bonds. The Fund will invest its assets in securities with maturities of various lengths, depending on
market conditions. The Manager will adjust the average maturity of the bonds in the portfolio to attempt to provide a high level of tax-exempt income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s income level will vary depending
on current interest rates and the specific securities in the portfolio. The Fund may concentrate its investments in certain types of bonds or in a certain segment of the municipal bond market when the supply of bonds in other sectors
does not suit its investment needs. The Fund may invest in insured municipal bonds. The Fund will generally have a dollar-weighted average effective maturity of between 5 and 30 years.

sources, such as the revenue from a particular project, a special tax, lease payments and/or appropriated funds. Revenue bonds include certain private activity bonds (PABs), which finance privately operated facilities. Revenue bonds
also include housing bonds that finance pools of single-family home mortgages and student loan bonds that finance pools of student loans, as well as bonds that finance charter schools. Revenue bonds also include tobacco bonds that are
issued by state-created special purpose entities as a means to securitize a state’s share of annual tobacco settlement revenues.
The Fund may invest in PABs in general, in revenue bonds payable from revenues derived from similar projects, such as those in the health care, life care, education, transportation and special tax sectors, and in municipal securities
of issuers located in the same geographical area.
Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager uses the same type of analysis that it uses when buying securities to determine whether the security continues to be a desired investment for the Fund, including
consideration of the security’s current credit quality. Additionally, the Manager may sell a security to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities or to
raise cash.

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Delaware Ivy Corporate Bond Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in corporate bonds (also referred to as corporate “debt securities” or “fixed-income securities”).
For this purpose, “corporate bonds” includes any debt security issued by a domestic or foreign company with an initial maturity greater than one year. The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade debt securities (including bonds rated
BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc. (S&P), or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined by the Manager to be of
comparable quality). The Fund has no limitations regarding the duration or dollar-weighted average of its holdings, may invest in debt securities with varying maturities and can invest in debt securities issued by both domestic and
foreign companies, in a variety of sectors and industries. The Fund may invest significantly in debt securities payable from the same sector.
In selecting debt securities for the Fund, the Manager looks at a number of factors, including both a top-down (assessing the market environment) and a bottom-up (researching individual issuers) analysis. The top-down analysis looks at
broad economic and financial trends in an effort to anticipate their impact on the fixed-income market and seeks to identify certain criteria that contribute to the overall target portfolio characteristics such as duration, spread,
ratings and liquidity. The bottom-up analysis seeks to identify securities that the Manager believes have favorable risk/reward characteristics and targets those securities for overweight positioning. From the sector level, the Manager
identifies companies that

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in corporate bonds (80% policy). Delaware Management Company (Manager) focuses on corporate
bonds that have investment grade credit ratings from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). The bonds the Manager selects for the portfolio are typically rated BBB- and above by Standard & Poor’s Financial
Services LLC (S&P), Baa3 and above by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), or similarly rated by another NRSRO. The Manager may also invest in unrated bonds if it believes their credit quality is comparable to those that have
investment grade ratings.
In addition, the Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (MIMAK), Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (MIMEL), and Macquarie
Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL) (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”). The Manager may also permit these Affiliated Sub-Advisors to execute Fund security trades on behalf of the Manager and exercise investment discretion
for securities in certain markets where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Sub-Advisor's specialized market knowledge.
The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in high yield corporate bonds (“junk bonds”). In addition, the Fund may invest up to 40% of its total assets in foreign securities, but the Fund’s total non-US-dollar currency
exposure will be limited, in the aggregate, to no more than 25% of net assets.

leverage, interest coverage, revenue and margin stability, competition and industry trends, as well as relative value and liquidity.
Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager uses the same type of analysis that it uses in buying securities. For example, the Manager may sell a holding if, in the Manager’s opinion, the issuer’s financial
strength weakens and/or the yield and relative safety of the security decline. The Manager also may sell a security to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment
opportunities or to raise cash.

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Delaware Ivy Crossover Credit Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in bonds (for this purpose, “bonds” includes any debt security with an initial maturity greater
than one year).
The Fund invests primarily in corporate debt fixed-income securities, which can include both investment grade and non-investment grade rated bonds. Investment grade bonds include bonds rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings, a
division of S&P Global Inc. (S&P), or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality. By contrast, non-investment
grade debt securities, commonly called “high yield” or “junk” bonds, include bonds rated BB+ or lower by S&P, or comparably rated by another NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality.
“Crossover” debt generally refers to bonds rated at or near the point where the lower end of investment grade debt and the higher end of high yield debt meet. Such bonds are on the verge of losing or regaining investment-grade status
(i.e., they are on the verge of “crossing over,” falling to junk status or rising to investment grade status). In addition, crossover bonds include those that have been rated below investment grade since issuance, but may be close to
achieving investment grade status (i.e., so-called “rising stars”), or those that at one time were considered to be investment grade and now are categorized as “junk” bonds due to a reduction in the issuer’s credit rating (i.e., so-called
“fallen angels”). Depending on the current Fund composition and market conditions, the Manager expects that a majority of the crossover bonds will be rated either BBB or BB by S&P, or comparably rated by another NRSRO or, if unrated,
determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality.
Except as noted above, the Fund has no limitations regarding the maturity, duration or dollar-weighted average of its holdings, may invest in debt securities with varying maturities and can invest in debt securities issued by companies
of any size, in a variety of sectors and industries. The Fund will primarily invest in debt securities issued by

domestic companies, but also may invest up to 40% of its total assets in debt securities issued by foreign companies, including foreign securities that are denominated in US dollars or foreign currencies. Many of the companies in which
the Fund may invest have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets. Therefore, the Fund may have indirect exposure to various foreign markets through investments in these companies, even if the Fund is not invested
directly in such markets. The Fund typically will not invest more than 35% of its total assets in non-investment grade securities.

security if, in the Manager’s opinion, the price of the security has risen to fully reflect the company’s improved creditworthiness. The Manager also may sell a security to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment
opportunities, to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security or to raise cash.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in investment grade fixed income securities, including, but not limited to, fixed income
securities issued or guaranteed by the US government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and by US corporations (80% policy). Investment grade fixed income securities are securities rated BBB- or higher by Standard &
|
foreign securities, including up to 10% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below-investment-grade securities (also known as high yield or “junk”
bonds). Additionally, the Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the US government, its agencies or instrumentalities, government-sponsored corporations, and mortgage-backed securities issued by certain
private, nongovernment entities. The Fund may also invest in securities that are backed by assets such as receivables on home equity and credit card loans, automobile, mobile home, recreational vehicle and other loans, wholesale dealer
floor plans, and leases The Fund will maintain an average effective duration from one to three years.
Investment grade debt securities include those that are rated within the four highest ratings categories by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) or that are unrated but
determined by the Manager to be of equivalent quality.
The Fund may use a wide range of derivatives instruments, typically including options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward foreign currency contracts, and swaps. The Fund will use derivatives for both hedging and
nonhedging purposes. For example, the Fund may invest in: futures and options to manage duration and for defensive purposes, such as to protect gains or hedge against potential losses in the portfolio without actually selling a security,
or to stay fully invested; forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure; interest rate swaps to neutralize the impact of interest rate changes; credit default swaps to hedge against a credit event, to gain
exposure to certain securities or markets, or to enhance total return; and index swaps to enhance return or to effect diversification. The Fund will not use derivatives for reasons inconsistent with its investment objective and will limit
its investments in derivatives instruments to 20% of its net assets.
The Manager may look at a number of factors in selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, beginning with a top-down (assessing the market environment) review of the broad economic and financial trends in the US and world markets.
This process aids in the determination of economic fundamentals, which leads to sector allocation. Within a sector, the Manager typically considers the maturity and perceived liquidity of the security, the relative value of the security
based on historical
|
Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) and Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or those that are deemed to be of
comparable quality. The Fund will maintain an average effective duration from one to three years. The Fund’s investment manager, Delaware Management Company (Manager), will determine how much of the Fund’s assets to allocate among the
different types of fixed income securities in which the Fund may invest based on the Manager’s evaluation of economic and market conditions and its assessment of the returns and potential for appreciation that can be achieved from various
sectors of the fixed income market.
The Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (MIMAK), Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (MIMEL), and Macquarie Investment
Management Global Limited (MIMGL) (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”). The Manager may also permit these Affiliated Sub-Advisors to execute Fund security trades on behalf of the Manager and exercise investment discretion for
securities in certain markets where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Sub-Advisor’s specialized market knowledge.
The corporate debt obligations in which the Fund may invest include bonds, notes, debentures, and commercial paper of US companies and, subject to the limitations described below, non-US companies. The Fund may also invest in a variety
of securities that are issued or guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the US government, and by various agencies or instrumentalities, which have been established or are sponsored by the US government, and, subject to
the limitations described below, securities issued by foreign governments.
Additionally, the Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the US government, its agencies or instrumentalities, government-sponsored corporations, and mortgage-backed securities issued by certain private,
nongovernment entities. The Fund may also invest in securities that are backed by assets such as receivables on home equity and credit card loans, automobile, mobile home, recreational vehicle and other loans, wholesale dealer floor
plans, and leases.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below-investment-grade securities (also known as high yield or “junk” bonds).
|
yield information, the creditworthiness of the particular issuer (if not backed by the full faith and credit of the Treasury), and prepayment risks for mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities with call provisions.
Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager uses the same type of analysis that it uses in buying securities, including review of the security’s valuation and the issuer’s creditworthiness. The Manager also may
sell a security to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities, to reduce the Fund’s holding in that security or to raise cash.
The Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited, Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG, and Macquarie Investment Management Global
Limited (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”). The Manager may also permit these Affiliated Sub-Advisors to execute Fund security trades on behalf of the Manager and exercise investment discretion for securities in certain markets
where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Sub-Advisor’s specialized market knowledge.
|
The Fund may also invest up to 30% of its net assets in foreign securities, including up to 10% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets. The Fund’s total non-US dollar currency exposure will be limited,
in the aggregate, to no more than 10% of its net assets.
The Fund may use a wide range of derivatives instruments, typically including options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward foreign currency contracts, and swaps. The Fund will use derivatives for both hedging and
nonhedging purposes. For example, the Fund may invest in: futures and options to manage duration and for defensive purposes, such as to protect gains or hedge against potential losses in the portfolio without actually selling a security,
or to stay fully invested; forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure; interest rate swaps to neutralize the impact of interest rate changes; credit default swaps to hedge against a credit event, to gain
exposure to certain securities or markets, or to enhance total return; and index swaps to enhance return or to effect diversification. The Fund will not use derivatives for reasons inconsistent with its investment objective and will limit
its investments in derivatives instruments to 20% of its net assets.
The Fund’s 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Fund shareholders would be given at least 60 days’ notice prior to any such change.

Class C shares have no upfront sales charge, so the full amount of your purchase is invested in the Fund. However, you will pay a CDSC of 1.00% if you redeem your shares within 12 months after you buy them.
|
2. |
In determining whether the CDSC applies to a redemption of Class C shares, it will be assumed that shares held for more than 12 months are redeemed first, followed by shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends or
distributions, and finally by shares held for 12 months or less. For further information on how the CDSC is determined, please see “Calculation of contingent deferred sales charges — Class C” below.
|
3. |
Under certain circumstances, the CDSC may be waived; please see “Waivers of contingent deferred sales charges” below for further information.
|
4. |
For approximately eight years after you buy your Class C shares, they are subject to an annual 12b-1 fee no greater than 1.00% of average daily net assets (of which 0.25% is a service fee) paid to the Distributor, dealers, or others
for providing services and maintaining shareholder accounts.
|
5. |
Class C shares are eligible to automatically convert to Class A shares with a 12b-1 fee of no more than 0.25% approximately eight years after you buy Class C shares. Conversion may occur as late as one month after the eighth
anniversary of purchase, during which time Class C's higher 12b-1 fee applies. Please refer to the Fund's SAI for more details on this automatic conversion feature.
|
6. |
For Delaware Corporate Bond Fund, you may purchase only up to $1 million of Class C shares at any one time. Orders that equal or exceed $1 million will be rejected. For Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield
Municipal Bond Fund, you may purchase only up to $250,000 of Class C shares at any one time. Orders that equal or exceed $250,000 will be rejected.
|
7. |
Because of their higher 12b-1 fee, Class C shares have higher expenses and any dividends paid on these shares are generally lower than dividends on Class A, Class R, Institutional Class, Class I, and Class R6 shares.
|
8. |
Class C shares with no financial intermediary will be converted to Class A shares at NAV within a certain time frame after a financial intermediary resigns, as determined by the Manager. Additionally, investors may only open an
account to purchase Class C shares if they have appointed a financial intermediary.
|
1. |
Class R shares have no upfront sales charge, so the full amount of your purchase is invested in the Fund. Class R shares are not subject to a CDSC.
|
2. |
Class R shares are subject to an annual 12b-1 fee no greater than 0.50% of average daily net assets.

On sales of Class A shares, the Distributor reallows to your securities dealer a portion of the front-end sales charge depending upon the amount you invested. Your securities dealer may be eligible to receive a
12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% from the date of purchase. Additionally, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund's Class A shares are subject to a blended 12b-1 fee of 0.10% on all shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992 and 0.25% on all shares acquired on or
after June 1, 1992. On sales of Class A shares where there is no front-end sales charge, the Distributor may pay your securities dealer an upfront commission of up to 1.00%. The upfront commission includes an advance of the first year's
12b-1 fee of up to 0.25%. During the first 12 months, the Distributor will retain the 12b-1 fee to partially offset the upfront commission advanced at the time of purchase. Starting in the 13th month, your securities dealer may be
eligible to receive the full 12b-1 fee applicable to Class A shares.

On sales of Class C shares, the Distributor may pay your securities dealer an upfront commission of 1.00%. The upfront commission includes an advance of the first year's 12b-1 service fee of up to 0.25%. During
the first 12 months, the Distributor retains the full 1.00% 12b-1 fee to partially offset the upfront commission and the prepaid 0.25% service fee advanced at the time of purchase. Starting in the 13th month, your securities dealer may be
eligible to receive the full 1.00% 12b-1 fee applicable to Class C shares. Alternatively, certain intermediaries may not be eligible to receive the upfront commission of 1.00%, but may receive the 12b-1 fee for sales of Class C shares
from the date of purchase. After approximately eight years, Class C shares are eligible to automatically convert to Class A shares and dealers may then be eligible to receive the 12b-1 fee applicable to Class A shares.

Item 15.
|
Indemnification.
|
|||
Article VII, Section 2 (November 15, 2006) to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust incorporated into this filing by reference to
Post-Effective Amendment No. 33 filed December 28, 2007. Article VI of the Amended and Restated By-Laws (April 1, 2015) incorporated into
this filing by reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 50 filed December 24, 2015.
|
||||
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Trustees, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed
that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
|
||||
