At a meeting on Aug. 19-21, 2014, the Funds’ Boards of Trustees approved the early conversion of all remaining Class B shares to Class A shares (Consultant Class shares for Delaware Cash Reserve® Fund).

On or about Sept.25, 2014, all remaining Class B shares of the Funds will convert to Class A shares (Consultant Class shares for Delaware Cash Reserve Fund), including Class B shares that are scheduled to convert on a date later than the end of the third quarter of 2014. As of this date, other than as noted below, all references to Class B shares in the summary prospectuses, statutory prospectuses and statements of additional information are removed and Class B shares will cease to exist. No contingent deferred sales charges will be assessed in connection with this conversion and the conversion is expected to be tax-free for federal income tax purposes.
