Supplement to the current Statutory Prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
and Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”) for each Delaware Fund
(each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”)

1.
Buying Class A shares at net asset value

The following replaces the first paragraph in the section of the Prospectuses entitled “Buying Class A shares at net asset value”:

Class A shares of the Funds may be purchased at NAV under the following circumstances, provided that you notify the Funds in advance that the trade qualifies for this privilege. Certain existing investors or programs sponsored by certain intermediaries that were eligible to purchase Class A shares of a Fund at NAV may continue to be eligible to purchase Class A shares at NAV. The Funds reserve the right to modify or terminate these arrangements at any time.

2.
Waivers of contingent deferred sales charges

The following replaces, as applicable, the first paragraph in the section of the Prospectuses entitled “Waivers of contingent deferred sales charges”:

Certain sales charges may be based on historical cost. Therefore, you should maintain any records that substantiate these costs because the Funds, their transfer agent, and financial intermediaries may not maintain this information. Please note that you or your financial intermediary will have to notify us at the time of redemption that the trade qualifies for such waiver. As applicable, Class R, Institutional Class, and Class R6 do not have CDSCs so they are not included in the list below. Please also see the “Shareholder fees” table in the Fund summary and “Choosing a share class” for more information about applicable CDSCs. Your financial intermediary may offer waivers for certain account types or programs that may be different than what is noted below.  See the “Broker-defined sales charge waiver policies” section or contact your financial intermediary for information on program availability.

The following is added as the last paragraph in the section of the Prospectuses entitled “Waivers of contingent deferred sales charges”:

Certain existing investors or programs sponsored by certain intermediaries that were eligible for waivers of CDSCs may continue to be eligible for those waivers of CDSCs.

3.
Redemptions and exchanges

The following replaces, as applicable, the disclosure related to redemptions and exchanges in the section of the SAIs entitled “Redemptions and Exchanges”:

You may exchange all or part of your investment in one or more Delaware Funds for shares of other Delaware Funds. Please keep in mind, however, that under most circumstances you may exchange between like classes of shares only. Class C shares acquired by exchange will continue to carry the automatic conversion schedule of the fund from which the exchange is made. The holding period of Class C shares acquired by exchange will be added to that of the shares that were exchanged for purposes of determining the time of the automatic conversion to Class A shares of the fund. Holders of Class R


shares of a Fund are permitted to exchange all or part of their Class R shares only for Class R shares of other Delaware Funds or, if Class R shares are not available for a particular fund, for the Class A shares of such fund. You will pay any applicable sales charge on your new shares unless eligible to purchase shares at NAV. To open an account by exchange, call your financial intermediary or the Delaware Funds by Macquarie Service Center at 800 523-1918.

4.
Right to discontinue offering shares and/or to merge or liquidate a share class

The following replaces the disclosure related to the Funds’ right to discontinue offering shares at any time and/or to merge or liquidate a share class in the sections of the Prospectuses and SAIs in its entirety:

To the extent authorized by law, the Funds reserve the right to discontinue offering shares at any time and/or to merge or liquidate a share class, such as in response to shareholder redemptions of substantially or all shares in a class. For any blocked accounts involving a liquidating fund, a shareholder’s account may be moved into Delaware Investments Ultrashort Fund if no instruction is given upon receipt of a fund’s pending liquidation.

Because everyone's tax situation is unique, you should consult your tax professional about federal, state, local, or foreign tax consequences before making an investment in a Fund.
