Notes 

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust -The Core Focus Fixed Income Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation – Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Other debt securities, credit default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. 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. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Financial futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest income. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.


2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments       $ 21,059,798
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 643,603
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (681,776 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (38,173 )

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $422,809 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows: $289,534 expires in 2014 and $133,275 expires in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

      Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total

Mortgage-Backed Securities $ - $ 6,749,799 $ 196,485 $ 6,946,284

3. Derivatives
The Portfolio applies Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity's results of operations and financial position.

Financial Futures Contracts – The Portfolio may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge its existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio deposits cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into financial futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the financial futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio because futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees against default.

Swap Contracts – The Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Portfolio may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Portfolio invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Portfolio may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Portfolio on favorable terms. The Portfolio may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Interest Rate Swaps. An interest rate swap involves payments received by the Portfolio from another party based on a variable or floating interest rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest rate swap can also work in reverse with the Portfolio receiving payments based on a fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

Index Swaps. Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Portfolio will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the index swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

Credit Default Swaps. A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Portfolio in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty.

During the period ended July 31, 2009, the Portfolio entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipts), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement.


CDS may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. CDSs are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

Swaps Generally. Because there is no organized market for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Portfolio terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the schedule of investments.

4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three-tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (S&P) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At July 31, 2009, the value of the securities on loan was $1,722,557, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

5. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse affect on the Portfolio’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Portfolio may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified in the schedule of investments.


6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust - The Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Other debt securities, credit default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. 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. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Financial futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Portfolio isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices of debt securities. The Portfolio reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest income. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 65,105,119  
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 2,846,042  
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (3,442,819 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (596,777 )


For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $5,421,304 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire as follows: $394,175 expires in 2013; $1,651,932 expires in 2014; $1,588,204 expires in 2015 and $1,786,993 expires in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 – inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

  Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Agency, Asset-Backed &            
       Mortgage-Backed Securities $ - $ 20,527,484     $ 746,907   $ 21,274,391

3. Derivatives
The Portfolio applies Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity's results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Portfolio may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.


Financial Futures Contracts
The Portfolio may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Portfolio may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge its existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio deposits cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into financial futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the financial futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Portfolio because futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees against default.

Written Options
During the period ended July 31, 2009, the Portfolio entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may write options contracts for any number of reasons, including: to manage the Portfolio’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Portfolio’s overall exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and as a cash management tool. The Portfolio may write calls or puts on securities, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Portfolio writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Portfolio on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Portfolio has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Portfolio. The Portfolio, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Portfolio is subject to minimal counterparty credit risk.

Transactions in written options during the period ended July 31, 2009 for the Portfolio were as follows:

  Number of contracts       Premiums
Options outstanding at October 31, 2008   -        $ -   
Options written 1     1,654  
Options terminated in closing purchase transactions (1 )     (1,654 )
Options outstanding at July 31, 2009 -   $ -  

Swap Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Portfolio may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Portfolio invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Portfolio may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Portfolio on favorable terms. The Portfolio may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Interest Rate Swaps. An interest rate swap involves payments received by the Portfolio from another party based on a variable or floating interest rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest rate swap can also work in reverse with the Portfolio receiving payments based on a fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

Index Swaps. Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Portfolio will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the index swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

Credit Default Swaps. A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Portfolio in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty.


During the period ended July 31, 2009, the Portfolio entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipts), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement.

The Portfolio may sell credit default swaps which expose it to risk of loss from credit risk related events specified in the contract. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default. As disclosed in the footnotes to the schedule of investments, the aggregate fair value of credit default swaps in a net liability position as of July 31, 2009 was $113,379. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral, net of assets received as collateral, for these swaps was $340,000. If a credit event had occurred as of July 31, 2009, the swaps’ credit-risk-related contingent features would have been triggered and the Portfolio would have been required to pay $619,500 less the value of the contracts’ related reference obligations.

Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

Swaps Generally. Because there is no organized market for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Portfolio terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the schedule of investments.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of July 31, 2009 was as follows:

        Asset Derivatives                 Liability Derivatives          
 
  Schedule of Investments       Schedule of Investments  
    Location Fair Value Location Fair Value

Total   $ (346,900 )   $ 31,034  


4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Series would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At July 31, 2009, the value of the securities on loan was $2,281,575, for which the Portfolio received collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $26,000, and cash collateral of $2,307,950. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

5. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which the Portfolio may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the Untied States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Portfolio may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Portfolio.

The Portfolio invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages or consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse affect on the Portfolio’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Portfolio may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the schedule of investments.

6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.


The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled Trust -The Emerging Markets Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation – Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase AgreementsThe Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Foreign Currency Transactions – Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which are due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices. The Portfolio reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other - Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Portfolio is aware of such dividends, net of all non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 647,058,727
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 57,867,043
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (76,873,168 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (19,006,125 )

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 – inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity


The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total
Common Stock $ 555,637,199 $ 2,057,460 $ - $ 557,694,659
Short-Term   - 11,924,033 - 11,924,033
Securities Lending Collateral   5,035,779 15,020,364     58   20,056,201
Other 38,130,013   247,696 -   38,377,709
Total $ 598,802,991 $ 29,249,553 $ 58 $ 628,052,602

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Net transfers in and/or out of Level 3 -

Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation from
       investments still held as of 7/31/09 $ (31,038 )

3. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Portfolio may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio exposure to the counterparty. There were no foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at July 31, 2009.

4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three-tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At July 31, 2009, the value of the securities on loan was $19,957,317, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

5. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which the Portfolio may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Portfolio may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets are held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Portfolio.


The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio’s Liquidity Procedures. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the schedule of investments.

6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust – The Focus Smid-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 2,908,283
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 302,398
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (390,894 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (88,496 )


For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $636,923 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

      Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Common Stock   $ 2,686,786 $ - $ -   $ 2,686,786
Short-Term - 133,000   - 133,000
Securities Lending Collateral   -   - 1   1
Total $ 2,686,786 $ 133,000 $ 1 $ 2,819,787

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Collateral
Balance as of 10/31/08 $ 745
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation       (744 )
Balance as of 7/31/09 $ 1  
 
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation from
       investments still held as of 7/31/09 $ (744 )

3. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Series may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan as of July 31, 2009.

4. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in small- and mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small- or mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.


The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio's Liquidity Procedures.

5. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or 2transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust – The Global Fixed Income Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Debt securities are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. 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. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts and cross foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Foreign Currency Transactions – Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Portfolio isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. The Portfolio reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.


Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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 the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 128,624,451
Aggregate unrealized appreciation   8,333,521
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (2,206,860 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 6,126,661

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $1,174,683 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards remaining at October 31, 2008 will expire as follows: $167,312 expires in 2014 and $1,007,371 expires in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’ investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 – inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total
Corporate Debt $ - $ 2,947,543 $ - $ 2,947,543
Foreign Debt - 117,755,052 - 117,755,052
U.S. Treasury Obligations 13,079,512 - - 13,079,512
Short-Term - 969,003 - 969,003
Securities Lending Collateral - - 2 2
Total $ 13,079,512 $ 121,671,598 $ 2 $ 134,751,112
 
Derivatives $ - $ 205,031   $ - $ 205,031

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Balance as of 7/31/09 $ 2
 
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation from
       investments still held as of 7/31/09 $ (906 )

3. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and cross foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Portfolio may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss.


When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with the Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan as of July 31, 2009.

5. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which the Portfolio may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio's Liquidity Procedures.

6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled Trust -The Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation – Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements – The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Foreign Currency Transactions – Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which are due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices. The Portfolio reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Portfolio is aware of such dividends, net of all non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. 


2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 73,020,411  
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 3,871,875  
Aggregate unrealized depreciation   (16,439,105 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (12,567,230 )

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $55,001,975 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire as follows: $1,245,667 expires in 2015 and $53,756,308 expires in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 – inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Common Stock $ 51,514,803 $ -   $  - $ 51,514,803
Short-Term   -   2,599,007   -   2,599,007
Securities Lending Collateral 1,763,142   4,576,187 42   6,339,371
Total $ 53,277,945 $ 7,175,194 $ 42 $ 60,453,181

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Net transfers in and/or out of Level 3 -

3. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Portfolio may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio exposure to the counterparty. There were no foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at July 31, 2009.

4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three-tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At July 31, 2009, the value of the securities on loan was $6,597,857, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”


5. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which the Portfolio may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Portfolio may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets are held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Portfolio.

The Portfolio concentrates its investments in the real estate industry and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Portfolio holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. The Portfolio is also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations. Its investments may also tend to fluctuate more in value than a portfolio that invests in a broader range of industries.

The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio’s Liquidity Procedures.

6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust – The High-Yield Bond Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation – Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Other debt securities are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. 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. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements – The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.


2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments       $ 22,433,631
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 1,702,124
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (679,368 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 1,022,756  

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $3,884,840 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire as follows: $612,814 expires in 2009, $331,046 expires in 2010, $358,729 expires in 2015, and $2,582,251 expires in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

3. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend their securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (S&P) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At July 31, 2009, the value of the securities on loan was $1,580,620, for which the Portfolio received collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $17,400, and cash collateral of $1,602,331. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

4. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which carry ratings of BB or lower by S&P and/or Ba or lower by Moody’s. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio's Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio's limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the schedule of investments.

5. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled Trust® – The Intermediate Fixed Income Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation – Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Other debt securities, credit default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. 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. Financial futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements – The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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 the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest income. The Portfolio declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays such dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 6,993,820
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 321,602
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (180,754 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 140,848

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $589,782 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire as follows: $26,277 expires in 2010, $112,676 expires in 2013, $177,899 expires in 2014 and $272,930 expires in 2015.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity


The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio's investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Agency, Asset-Backed &
       Mortgage-Backed Securities $ - $ 1,241,717 $ 24,477 $ 1,266,194
Corporate Debt - 3,939,286 - 3,939,286
Foreign Debt - 75,663 - 75,663
 
U.S. Treasury Obligations 1,143,258 - - 1,143,258
Short-Term - 656,002 - 656,002

Derivatives $ - $ (4,709 ) $ - $ (4,709 )

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Net change in unrealized  
       appreciation/depreciation from
       investments still held as of 7/31/09   $ (15,779 ) $ (839 ) $ (16,618 )

3. Derivatives
The Portfolio applies Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity's results of operations and financial position.

Written Options
During the period ended July 31, 2009, the Portfolio entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Portfolio may write options contracts for any number of reasons, including: to manage the Portfolio’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Portfolio’s overall exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and as a cash management tool. The Portfolio may write calls or puts on securities, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Portfolio writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Portfolio on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Portfolio has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Portfolio. The Portfolio, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Portfolio is subject to minimal counterparty credit risk.

Transactions in written options during the period ended July 31, 2009 for the Portfolio were as follows:

Number of contracts       Premiums
Options outstanding at October 31, 2008 54     $ 36,640
Options terminated in closing purchase transactions   (54 ) (36,640 )
Options outstanding at July 31, 2009 - $ -

Swap Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Portfolio may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Portfolio invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Portfolio may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Portfolio on favorable terms. The Portfolio may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Interest Rate Swaps. An interest rate swap involves payments received by the Portfolio from another party based on a variable or floating interest rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest rate swap can also work in reverse with the Portfolio receiving payments based on a fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.


Index Swaps. Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Portfolio will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the index swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

Credit Default Swaps. A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Portfolio in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty.

During the period ended July 31, 2009, the Portfolio entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment, such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement. For the period ended July 31, 2009, the Fund did not enter into any CDS contracts as a seller of protection.

Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

Swaps Generally. Because there is no organized market for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Portfolio terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the schedule of investments.

4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan as of July 31, 2009.

5. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages or consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse affect on the Portfolio’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Portfolio may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.


The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio's Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio's limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the schedule of investments.

6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Fund. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust -The International Equity Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security ValuationEquity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase AgreementsThe Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Foreign Currency Transactions – Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which are due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices. The Portfolio reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Portfolio is aware of such dividends, net of all non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Portfolio's understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 1,015,896,666
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 72,231,536
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (135,992,197 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (63,760,661 )

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2–inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3–inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity


The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total
Common Stock $ 877,690,716 $ - $ - $ 877,690,716
Short-Term - 6,501,018 - 6,501,018
Securities Lending Collateral 25,480,007   42,464,313 151 67,944,471
Total $ 903,170,723 $ 48,965,331 $ 151 $ 952,136,205

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Securities
Lending
Collateral
Balance as of 10/31/08 $ 81,390
Net transfers in and/or out of Level 3 -
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation (81,239 )
Balance as of 7/31/09 $ 151
 
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation from
       investments still held as of 7/31/09 $ (81,239 )

3. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Portfolio may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three-tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At July 31, 2009, the value of securities on loan was $66,703,657, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption "Securities Lending Collateral."

5. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which the Portfolio may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Portfolio may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets are held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Portfolio.


The Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio’s Liquidity Procedures.

6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust -The International Fixed Income Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Debt securities are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. 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. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Fund held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Portfolio isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. The Portfolio reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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 the accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign interest have been recorded in accordance with the Portfolio's understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 16,791,366
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 1,511,168
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (257,986 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 1,253,182


For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $1,234,534 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows: $895,235 expires in 2009; $318,010 expires in 2014; and $21,289 expires in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 – inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Corporate Debt $ 1,766,622 $ - $ - $ 1,766,622
Foreign Debt 16,114,924 - - 16,114,924
Short-Term 163,000 - - 163,000
Securities Lending Collateral - -     2 2
Total $ 18,044,546   $ - $ 2   $ 18,044,548
   
Derivatives $ - $ 26,642 $ - $ 26,642

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Securities
Lending
Collateral
Balance as of 10/31/08 $ 337,551
Net purchases, sales, and settlements (159,551 )
Net realized gain 39,433
Net transfers in and/or out of Level 3 (160,158 )
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation (57,273 )
Balance as of 7/31/09 $ 2
 
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation from
       investments still held as of 7/31/09 $ (1,289 )

3. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Portfolio may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio exposure to the counterparty.


4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Series may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan as of July 31, 2009.

5. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which the Portfolio may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Portfolio may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets are held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Portfolio.

The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio's Liquidity Procedures.

6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust – The Labor Select International Equity Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or new events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which are due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices. The Portfolio reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Portfolio is aware of such dividends, net of all non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 836,484,615
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 50,026,777
Aggregate unrealized depreciation   (114,791,272 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (64,764,495 )


Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio's investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Common Stock $ 730,487,688 $  - $  - $ 730,487,688
Short-Term - 20,454,057 - 20,454,057
Securities Lending Collateral 6,712,835 14,065,488 52 20,778,375
Total $ 737,200,523 $ 34,519,545 $ 52 $ 771,720,120
 
Derivatives $ - $ 11,315 $ - $ 11,315

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Securities
 Lending
Collateral
Balance as of 10/31/08 $ 28,153
Net change in unrealized
        appreciation/depreciation (28,101 )
Balance as of 7/31/09 $ 52
 
Net change in unrealized
        appreciation/depreciation from
        investments still held as of 7/31/09 $ (28,101 )

3. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Portfolio may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.

4. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other Funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Portfolio (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight


Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At July 31, 2009, the value of securities on loan was $20,385,241, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

5. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which the Portfolio may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Portfolio may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Portfolio.

The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio’s Liquidity Procedures.

6. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled ® Trust – The Large-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.


2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 279,912,689
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 12,306,484  
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (35,730,129 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (23,423,645 )

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $16,131,381 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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.

3. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Series may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.


At July 31, 2009, the value of securities on loan was $10,838,183, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

4. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio's Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio's limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio’s Liquidity Procedures.

5. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Delaware Pooled® Trust – The Large-Cap Value Equity Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation – Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements – The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments        $ 10,812,277
Aggregate unrealized appreciation   318,416
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (1,452,535 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (1,134,119 )


For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $1,656,222 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio's investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

       Level 1        Level 2        Total
Common Stock $ 9,490,157   $ -   $ 9,490,157
Short-Term     -   188,001   188,001
Total $ 9,490,157 $ 188,001 $ 9,678,158

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Securities

       Collateral
Balance as of 10/31/08 $ 23
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation (23 )
Balance as of 7/31/09 $ -
 
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation from
       investments still held as of 7/31/09  $ (23 )

3. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan as of July 31, 2009.

4. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio's Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio's limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio's Liquidity Procedures.


5. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Fund. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions other than those already disclosed that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Delaware Pooled® Trust – The Mid-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation – Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).


Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements – The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 3,676,164  
Aggregate unrealized appreciation   562,823
Aggregate unrealized depreciation   (129,970 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 432,853

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $175,111 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

  Level 1       Level 2       Total
Common Stock $ 3,911,016   $ -   $ 3,911,016
Short-Term -   198,001   198,001
Total $ 3,911,016 $ 198,001 $ 4,109,017

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

  Securities
  Lending
  Collateral
Balance as of 10/31/08 $ 211  
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation (211 )
Balance as of 7/31/09 $ 0
 
Net change in unrealized  
       appreciation/depreciation from  
       investments still held as of 7/31/09 $ (211 )


3. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Series may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan as of July 31, 2009.

4. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in small- and mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small- or mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

The Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio's Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio's limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities. Illiquid securities have been identified on the schedule of investments.

5. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled Trust - Delaware REIT Fund (Fund).

Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the 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. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the 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. The Fund did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Class Accounting – Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Repurchase Agreements The Fund may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Security and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Fund’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Fund held no investments in repurchase agreements.


Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from net realized gains on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 277,001,398
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 3,579,680
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (67,523,420 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (63,943,740 )

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $9,173,866 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund's investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

      Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Common Stock $ 170,587,205   $ - $ - $ 170,587,205

Total $ 191,774,208 $ 21,283,389 $ 61 $ 213,057,658

3. Securities Lending
The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Fund may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Fund would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the


BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Fund’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Fund can also accept U.S. 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 the Fund, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the 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 the Fund, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At July 31, 2009, the value of the securities on loan was $29,356,061, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $174,210, and cash collateral of $29,947,031. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

4. Credit and Market Risk
The Fund concentrates its investments in the real estate industry and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. The Fund is also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations. Its investments may also tend to fluctuate more in value than a fund that invests in a broader range of industries.

The 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the 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 Fund's Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Fund’s Liquidity Procedures.

5. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Fund. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Fund will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Fund (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Fund will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, the date of issuance of the Fund’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no other material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust -The Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio II (Portfolio).

Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or new events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments        $ 6,448,695
Aggregate unrealized appreciation   89,934
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (1,800,432 )
Net unrealized depreciation $ (1,710,498 )

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $1,240,692 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire in 2016.


Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

      Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Common Stock $ 4,377,195 $ - $ - $ 4,377,195
Short-Term -   361,001 - 361,001
Securities Lending Collateral - - 1 1
Total $ 4,377,195 $ 361,001 $ 1 $ 4,738,197

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Securities
Lending
       Collateral
Balance as of 10/31/08 $ 355
Net transfers in and/or out of Level 3   -
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation (354 )
Balance as of 7/31/09 $ 1
 
Net change in unrealized
       appreciation/depreciation from
       investments still held as of 7/31/09 $ (354 )

3. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three-tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan as of July 31, 2009.


4. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio concentrates its investments in the real estate industry and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Portfolio holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. The Portfolio is also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations. Its investments may also tend to fluctuate more in value than a portfolio that invests in a broader range of industries.

The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio’s Liquidity Procedures.

5. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 9,662,107
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 701,972
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (523,960 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 178,012

For federal income tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, capital loss carryforwards of $4,791,884 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such loss carryforwards expire as follows: $2,003,306 expires in 2009, $2,008,163 expires in 2010, $596,717 expires in 2011, $76,954 expires in 2014 and $106,744 expires in 2016.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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.

3. Securities Lending
The Portfolio, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three-tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. At July 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Portfolio may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Portfolio may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Portfolio would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Portfolio would be required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Portfolio can also accept U.S. 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 the Portfolio, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolio continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolio has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan as of July 31, 2009.

4. Credit and Market Risk
The Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in small- and mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small- or mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

The Portfolio 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s Board has delegated to Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolio’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Portfolio’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. As of July 31, 2009, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Portfolio’s Liquidity Procedures.

5. Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2009, Lincoln National Corporation and Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware Investments, including DMC, Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP), and Delaware Service Company (DSC), will be acquired by Macquarie, an Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services (Transaction). Upon completion of the Transaction, DMC, DDLP and DSC will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.

The Transaction will result in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio. As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (Meeting) of the Portfolio will be scheduled for the purpose of asking shareholders to approve a new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Portfolio (New Agreement). If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. Shareholders of the Portfolio will receive proxy materials including more detailed information about the Meeting, the Transaction and the proposed New Agreement.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). In accordance with FAS 165, management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to July 31, 2009 through September 25, 2009, date of issuance of the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings, and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Portfolio’s schedule of portfolio holdings.

Notes

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by Delaware Pooled® Trust – The Small-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio (Portfolio).

Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Portfolio may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Portfolio values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio’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. The Portfolio did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At July 31, 2009, the Portfolio held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

2. Investments
At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At July 31, 2009, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Portfolio were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 451,724
Aggregate unrealized appreciation 111,443
Aggregate unrealized depreciation (34,192 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 77,251

Effective November 1, 2008, the Portfolio adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Portfolio’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 - inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Portfolio's investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2009:

Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Common Stock $ 513,974 $ - $ - $ 513,974
Short-Term -   15,000 - 15,000
Securities Lending Collateral   - -   1   1
Total $ 513,974   $ 15,000 $ 1 $ 528,975


The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
