                              INFORMATION STATEMENT

     This  Information  Statement  is being  furnished on behalf of the Board of
Trustees  ("Trustees"  or "Board") of the  Optimum  Fund Trust (the  "Trust") to
inform  shareholders  of the Optimum  Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") about a
recent change  related to the Fund's  subadvisory  arrangements.  The change was
approved  by  the  Board  of  the  Trust  on the  recommendation  of the  Fund's
investment  manager,  Delaware  Management  Company  ("DMC"  or the  "Manager"),
without shareholder  approval as is permitted by an order of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") dated  November 7, 2006. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU
FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

     This  Information  Statement  is being  mailed on or about March 4, 2008 to
shareholders of record of the Fund as of February 25, 2008.

                                  INTRODUCTION

     DMC is the investment  manager for each of the Trust's funds. DMC employs a
"manager of  managers"  arrangement  in managing  the assets of the Trust.  This
permits  DMC,  subject to approval by the Board,  to hire,  terminate or replace
subadvisers unaffiliated with the Trust or DMC ("unaffiliated subadvisers"), and
to  modify  material  terms  and  conditions  of  subadvisory   agreements  with
unaffiliated subadvisers,  without shareholder approval. DMC recommended and the
Board has approved a new  subadvisory  agreement ("New  Subadvisory  Agreement")
with one of the Fund's current  subadvisers,  Marsico  Capital  Management,  LLC
("Marsico"),  due to a transaction  under which Marsico was  repurchased  from a
subsidiary of its parent company,  Bank of America  ("BOA") (the  "Transaction")
(See "The Transaction" below).

     Section  15(a) of the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940  (the  "1940  Act")
generally  requires that the  shareholders of a mutual fund approve an agreement
pursuant to which a person  serves as  investment  adviser or  subadviser of the
fund. In order to use the "manager or managers"  authority discussed above, DMC,
the Trust, and certain Delaware Investments affiliates requested and received an
exemptive  order from the SEC on  November  7, 2006 (the "SEC  Order").  The SEC
Order exempts DMC, the Trust and the other Delaware Investments  affiliates from
certain of the  shareholder  approval  requirements of Section 15(a) of the 1940
Act and allows the Trust's Board, subject to certain conditions, to appoint new,
unaffiliated subadvisers and approve new subadvisory agreements on behalf of the
Trust without shareholder approval.

     Consistent  with the SEC Order,  the  Board,  including  a majority  of the
Trustees who are not "interested  persons" of the Trust or of DMC under the 1940
Act ("Independent  Trustees"),  has approved the New Subadvisory Agreement among
the Trust,  DMC and Marsico  relating to the Fund.  As  discussed  later in this
Information  Statement,  the Board carefully considered the matter and concluded
that the approval of the New Subadvisory  Agreement was in the best interests of
the Fund and its shareholders.

     As a condition to relying on the SEC Order,  DMC and the Trust are required
to furnish Fund shareholders with notification of the New Subadvisory  Agreement
within ninety days from the date that the subadviser is hired.  This Information
Statement provides that notice and gives details of the new arrangement.

                                 THE TRANSACTION

     On June 14, 2007,  Thomas F. Marsico,  Chief Executive  Officer ("CEO") and
Chief  Investment  Officer ("CIO") of Marsico,  and Marsico Parent Company,  LLC
(the  "Company"),  a company  controlled  by Mr.  Marsico,  signed a  definitive
agreement to repurchase  Marsico from a subsidiary of BOA,  which  constitutes a
"change of control" of Marsico under applicable  provisions of the 1940 Act. The
1940 Act provides  that a "change of control" of a fund's  adviser or subadviser
results  in an  "assignment,"  and a  consequent  automatic  termination,  of an
investment  advisory agreement between a fund and its adviser or subadviser,  as
the  case  may be.  Accordingly,  as a  result  of the  Transaction,  the  prior
subadvisory  agreement  dated July 31, 2003 among DMC, as the Funds'  investment
manager,  the Trust,  and  Marsico,  as the  Fund's  subadviser,  terminated  on
December 14, 2007. In anticipation  of the Transaction and consequent  automatic
termination of the prior subadvisory  agreement with Marsico,  the Board, at its
September  20, 2007  regular  meeting  (the "Board  Meeting"),  approved the New
Subadvisory  Agreement with Marsico,  having terms substantively  similar to the
terms of the prior subadvisory agreement.

     Under the terms of the New Subadvisory Agreement,  Marsico makes investment
decisions  for the  segment of the  Fund's  assets  allocated  to Marsico by the
Manager,  and  continuously  reviews,  supervises  and  administers  the  Fund's
investment programs with respect to these assets.

            DMC'S RECOMMENDATION AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' DECISION

     DMC recommended the approval of the New Subadvisory  Agreement between DMC,
Marsico and the Trust.  Because Marsico was an existing  subadviser to the Fund,
the Board took into account information  furnished and discussed  throughout the
year at quarterly Board meetings when discussing the New Subadvisory  Agreement,
as  well  as  information  furnished  specifically  for  the  contract  approval
considerations  being conducted at the Board Meeting.  Information  furnished at
Board  meetings  throughout  the year  included:  an  analysis  by DMC (with the
assistance  of  its  consultant,  LPL  Financial  Corporation  ("LPL"))  of  the
investment  performance of Marsico and the sleeve of the Fund it sub-advised;  a
report  prepared  by Lipper  Inc.  ("Lipper")  comparing  the Fund's  investment
performance  and expenses  with those of other  mutual  funds deemed  comparable
("Lipper Report"); and compliance reports and related  certifications  furnished
by Marsico and DMC.  Material  furnished  specifically  in  connection  with the
review of the New  Subadvisory  Agreement  included:  memoranda  discussing  and
analyzing the  performance of Marsico's  sleeve of the Fund and the  Transaction
between  Marsico  and a  subsidiary  of BOA; a  description  of fees  charged by
Marsico  showing them to be  competitive  with those  charged  other  comparable
investment companies or accounts; a copy of the New Subadvisory Agreement; and a
"due  diligence"  report  describing  various  material items in relation to the
personnel,  organization  and policies of Marsico.  Lastly,  representatives  of
Marsico  (including  its CEO) were  present  at the Board  meeting  to provide a
presentation and answer any Board questions.

     In considering  such  information and materials,  the independent  Trustees
received  assistance  from and met  separately  with  independent  counsel.  The
materials  prepared by DMC  specifically  in connection with the approval of the
New Subadvisory  Agreement were sent to the  independent  Trustees in advance of
the  meeting  and were  discussed  at an  executive  session of the  independent
Trustees and their counsel prior to the Board Meeting. While attention was given
to all information  furnished,  the following  discusses under separate headings
the primary  factors  taken into account by the Board in its  contract  approval
considerations.

     Nature,  Extent and Quality of Services.  In considering the nature, extent
and quality of the  services to be provided by Marsico,  the Board  specifically
considered that the New Subadvisory  Agreement  contains  substantially  similar
provisions to those in the prior Marsico subadvisory agreement for the Fund. The
Board also  considered  the  benefits  of  providing  consistency  of  portfolio
management.  The Board  reviewed  materials  provided by Marsico  regarding  its
experience  and the  qualifications  of its  personnel,  and  placed  weight  on
Marsico's  representation  that there were no planned  changes  with  respect to
Marsico's personnel  responsible for security selection and portfolio management
of the  portion  of the Fund  managed  by Marsico  after the  completion  of the
Transaction.  The quality of the services of Marsico was considered primarily in
respect to the  investment  performance on its sleeve of the Fund. The Board was
also satisfied  with the adherence by Marsico with the  investment  policies and
restrictions  of the Fund it  advised,  as well as their  adherence  to  various
compliance  and  other  procedures  based  on  personal  presentations  made  by
representatives  of Marsico and DMC reports of its discussions with Marsico,  as
well as certificates and materials furnished at Board meetings and in connection
with the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement.

     Investment Performance.  The Board placed significant emphasis on Marsico's
prior investment  performance on its sleeve of the Fund. While consideration was
given to performance reports and discussions  throughout the year (including the
Lipper Report described above),  particular  attention in assessing  performance
was given to Marsico's performance on its portion of the sleeve to date relative
to  the  Fund's  peers  and  benchmark.   The  Board  was  satisfied  with  such
performance.  In addition,  the Board placed weight on Marsico's  representation
that  there were no  planned  changes  with  respect  to the  Marsico  personnel
responsible  for security  selection and portfolio  management of its portion of
the  Fund  after  the   completion   of  the   Transaction.   Based  upon  these
considerations, the Board determined that the performance of Marsico on the Fund
provides evidence of the high quality of portfolio  management services expected
to be provided by Marsico under the New Subadvisory Agreement.

     Subadvisory  Fee;  Profitability;  and  Economies  of Scale.  The Board was
provided  with a  description  of fees to be charged  by  Marsico  under the New
Subadvisory  Agreement which showed them to be identical to the subadvisory fees
from the prior Marsico subadvisory agreement for the Fund, and to be competitive
with  those  charged  by Marsico to other  comparable  investment  companies  or
accounts.  Trustees were also given  information  on profits  being  realized by
Marsico in relation to Marsico's overall investment advisory business. The Board
noted that the fees payable to Marsico for the investment  subadvisory  services
provided  by it to the Fund would be paid out of the fee  received by DMC in its
role as investment manager.  The Board also noted that the materials provided to
them regarding the  Transaction  stated that the management fee paid by the Fund
to DMC would stay the same, and that DMC's profitability will not be impacted by
the terms of the New Subadvisory Agreement.  The Board also noted that economies
of scale  may be  shared  with a fund and its  shareholders  through  investment
management  fee  breakpoints,  so that as a fund  grows in size,  its  effective
management  fee  rate  declines.  The  investment  management  fees for the Fund
contained breakpoints with the Fund's asset size being at a high enough level to
benefit  from such  breakpoints,  and to the  extent  economies  of scale may be
realized in the management of the Fund,  the Trustees  believed such schedule of
fees provided a sharing of benefits with the Fund and its shareholders.

                          THE NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

     The New Subadvisory  Agreement has terms substantially similar to the prior
subadvisory agreement between DMC, the Trust and Marsico.  Marsico will make all
investment  decisions for the portion of the Fund's assets  allocated to it, and
will continuously review, supervise and administer the Fund's investment program
with respect to those assets.  Marsico is not affiliated  with DMC, and as noted
above,  Marsico's  subadvisory fee is paid out of the fee received by DMC in its
role as investment manager.  Marsico discharges its responsibilities  subject to
the  supervision  of DMC and the  Board,  and has  agreed  to do so in a  manner
consistent  with the Fund's  investment  objective,  policies  and  limitations.
Additionally,   the   New   Subadvisory   Agreement   clarifies   each   party's
responsibilities  concerning  compliance  reporting and regulations,  as well as
assisting in the updating of the Fund's prospectuses and statement of additional
information.

     The prior  subadvisory  agreement  was dated July 31,  2003 with an initial
term ending July 31, 2005. The New  Subadvisory  Agreement is dated December 14,
2007 and has an initial term ending December 14, 2009.  Thereafter,  continuance
of this New  Subadvisory  Agreement  requires the annual approval of the Trust's
Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees.

               THE INVESTMENT MANAGER AND THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

     DMC, located at 2005 Market Street, Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania 19103-7094,
is a  series  of  Delaware  Management  Business  Trust,  which  is an  indirect
subsidiary of Delaware  Management  Holdings,  Inc ("DMH"),  which in turn is an

managing  mutual  funds  since  1938.  As of  December  31,  2007,  DMC  and its
affiliates had more than $150 billion in assets under management.

     As the Fund's investment  manager,  DMC has overall  responsibility for the
general  management of the Trust and all of its funds,  which includes selecting
the funds'  subadvisers  and monitoring  each fund and subadviser to ensure that
investment  activities remain consistent with a fund's investment  objective.  A
team  is  responsible  for  conducting  ongoing  investment  reviews  with  each
subadviser  and for  developing  the  criteria  by  which  fund  performance  is
measured.  The Manager has hired LPL, a registered  broker/dealer and investment

Agreement,  the Manager has full discretion and  responsibility,  subject to the
overall  supervision  of the Trust's  Board of Trustees,  to select and contract
with one or more investment subadvisers, to manage the investment operations and
composition  of each  fund,  and to  render  investment  advice  for each  fund,
including the purchase,  retention, and dispositions of investments,  securities
and cash contained in each fund. The Management  Agreement obligates the Manager
to implement  decisions with respect to the allocation or  reallocation  of each
fund's  assets  among one or more  current  or  additional  subadvisers,  and to
monitor  the  subadvisers'   compliance  with  the  relevant  fund's  investment
objective, policies and restrictions.  Under the Management Agreement, the Trust
will bear the expenses of conducting its business. The Trust and the Manager may
share  facilities  in common to each,  which may  include  legal and  accounting
personnel,  with  appropriate pro ration of expenses  between them. In addition,
the Manager  pays the salaries of all officers and Trustees of the Trust who are
officers, directors or employees of the Manager or its affiliates.

services  to the Fund by paying  DMC an annual  advisory  fee  assessed  against

ended March 31, 2007,  and  $3,369,431 in advisory fees for the six months ended
September 30, 2007.

31, 2007. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, Marsico and T. Rowe Price
earned $1,934,668 for services provided to the Fund.

     The Fund did not make any payments to an  affiliated  broker for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007.
