I.	INTRODUCTION
	A.	General Principles
	The Code of Ethics (the “Code”) is based on the principle that Macquarie Investment Management (“Macquarie”)1, its directors, officers, trustees, and employees (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, “Covered Persons”), owe a fiduciary duty of undivided loyalty to the Delaware Funds by Macquarie and the Optimum Fund Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) and any other investment advisory client (each, a “Client” and collectively, our “Clients”) that Macquarie advises.2 In addition, the Code is based on the principle that the directors, trustees and fund-only personnel associated with the Funds (collectively, “Fund Persons”) owe a fiduciary duty of undivided loyalty to their respective Funds. This Code sets out standards of conduct designed to address potential conflicts of interest that might arise between this fiduciary duty to Macquarie’s Clients and a Covered Person’s personal activities. Specifically, each Covered Person must avoid participating in transactions, activities, and relationships that might interfere (or appear to interfere) with making decisions in the best interests of those Clients. As a Covered Person, you are responsible for reading the Code and understanding your obligations in order to comply with its provisions. Additionally, your duty to comply with this Code includes the requirement that your personal and business activities be conducted in compliance with all other policies and procedures governing Macquarie and its affiliates. Examples of such policies include, but are not limited to, Macquarie’s Gifts and Entertainment Policy, Political Contribution (“Pay to Play”) Policy, and Insider Trading/Material Non-Public Information Policy. If you have any questions regarding the Code and its related policies or your resultant obligations and duties, please contact the Compliance Department for assistance.
	B.	Your Fiduciary Duty
	Macquarie is committed to fostering a culture that promotes honesty and high ethical standards. Consequently, all Covered Persons have an obligation to conduct themselves in accordance with the following general fiduciary principles: ■You have a duty to place the interests of our Clients ahead of your own interests at all times; ■You have a duty to attempt to avoid actual and potential conflicts of interest between your personal activities and the activities of our Clients, as well as to avoid any activities that may give the appearance of creating a conflict of interest; and ■You must not take inappropriate advantage of your position at Macquarie.

	C.	Compliance with Applicable Federal Securities Laws

	You have a duty to report violations of the Code. If you become aware of a violation of Macquarie’s Code committed by another Covered Person, you have an ongoing obligation to report that violation to the Compliance Department. It is Macquarie’s policy to protect the confidentiality of any such report made in good faith and any Covered Person reporting such a violation will not be subject to retaliation.
II.	YOUR OBLIGATIONS AS A COVERED PERSON

		3.	Affiliated Person
	You will be advised of the category to which you are assigned during your initial training on this Code. It is important to know the category to which you are assigned, as belonging to a certain category may cause you to be subject to additional obligations and/or limitations under the Code. A complete definition for each category is included in the Glossary. You are encouraged to review the definitions for each category carefully, as well as any sections of the Code that may pertain only to Covered Persons assigned to your category.
	B.	Immediate Family Members
	In accordance with federal securities laws, certain restrictions and limitations found within the Code are also applicable to the personal investment activities of any immediate family members that reside in your household (“Immediate Family Members”). As a Covered Person, it is your responsibility to alert your Immediate Family Members of any applicable restrictions or limitations that may impact their personal investment activities to ensure that both you and your Immediate Family Members conduct all personal investment activities in a manner consistent with the Code.
