The use of futures contracts and swap contracts involves elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts disclosed in these financial statements. The notional values presented above represent the Funds total exposure in such contracts, whereas only the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in the Funds net assets.
1A 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). Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), 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.
2Notional value shown is stated in U.S. Dollars unless noted that the swap is denominated in another currency.
3Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) does not include periodic interest payments on swap contracts accrued daily in the amount of $(118,102).

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and are consistently followed by Delaware Group® Limited-Term Government Funds Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund (Fund). This report covers the period of time since the Funds last fiscal year end.
Security Valuation Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity 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, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Debt securities and credit default swap (CDS) contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker/counterparty and reviewed by management. 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. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities, and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed; attributes of the collateral; yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as broker/dealer-supplied prices. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades, and values of the underlying reference instruments. 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 Funds Board of Trustees. 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, generally as of 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. Whenever such a significant event occurs, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

At March 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At March 31, 2017, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 947,778,090 | ||
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $ | 7,387,614 | ||
Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments | (5,799,597 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | $ | 1,588,017 |
U.S. GAAP 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. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established 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 entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Funds investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
Level 1 |
Inputs are quoted prices in active
markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end
investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options
contracts) |
Level 2 |
Other observable inputs, including,
but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities,
credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs.
(Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign
currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international
fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)
|
Level 3 |
Significant unobservable inputs, including the Funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities) |
Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

1Security type is valued across multiple levels. Level 2 investments represent investments with observable inputs, and Level 3 investments represent investments without observable inputs. The amounts attributed to Level 2 investments and Level 3 investments represent the following percentages of the total market value of this security type:
Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||
Loan Agreements | 99.32% | 0.68% | 100.00% |
During the period ended March 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to the Fund. The Funds policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to the Funds net assets at the beginning, interim, or end of the period.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On Oct. 13, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended existing rules intended to modernize reporting and disclosure of information. These amendments relate to Regulation S-X which sets forth the form and content of financial statements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of adopting these amendments and their impact on the Schedule of Investments.

4. Subsequent Events
Effective April 3, 2017, Delaware Investments® Family of Funds became Delaware FundsSM by Macquarie and Delaware Investments changed its name to Macquarie Investment Management (MIM). MIM is the marketing name for the companies comprising the asset management division of Macquarie Group Limited. Certain entities providing services to the Fund have also changed their names to reflect the use of the MIM name.
Management has determined that no other material events or transactions occurred subsequent to March 31, 2017 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds financial statements.
