The following information replaces the similar information in the Section "Purchasing Shares." All other references to market timing and timing accounts are deleted.

The Fund discourages purchases by market timers and purchase orders (including the purchase side of exchange orders) by shareholders identified as market timers may be rejected. The Fund will consider anyone who follows a pattern of market timing in any fund in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds to be a market timer.

Market timing of a fund occurs when investors make consecutive rapid short-term "roundtrips", or in other words, purchases into a fund followed quickly by redemptions out of that fund. A short-term roundtrip is any redemption of fund shares within 20 business days of a purchase of that fund's shares. If you make a second such short-term roundtrip in a fund within the same calendar quarter of a previous short-term roundtrip in that fund, you may be considered a market timer. The purchase and sale of fund shares through the use of the exchange privilege are also included in determining whether market timing has occurred. The Fund also reserves the right to consider other trading patterns as market timing.

Your ability to use the Fund's exchange privilege may be limited if you are identified as a market timer. If you are identified as a market timer, we will execute the redemption side of your exchange order but may refuse the purchase side of your exchange order.
