Supplement to each Fund’s Statutory Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) and Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”)

As noted in the supplements dated September 14, 2021 and September 16, 2021, the Funds will liquidate and dissolve on or about November 15, 2021 (Liquidation Date).

At the close of business on September 30, 2021, the Funds will be closed to purchases by new investors, except for certain investors, such as those in certain advisory programs with specific financial intermediaries who have a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor. In addition, Delaware Ivy Cash Management Fund, Delaware Ivy ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers Index Fund, Delaware Ivy ProShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Index Fund, Delaware Ivy ProShares S&P 500 Bond Index Fund, and Delaware Ivy ProShares MSCI ACWI Index Fund will continue to accept purchases from existing shareholders (including reinvested dividends or capital gains) until five (5) business days before the Liquidation Date. Delaware Ivy VIP Global Bond and Delaware Ivy VIP Government Money Market will continue to accept purchases from existing shareholders (including reinvested dividends or capital gains) until one day before the Liquidation Date.

Shareholders may redeem their Fund shares at any time prior to the Liquidation Date. No applicable contingent deferred sales charge will be assessed in connection with any redemption of shares from a liquidating Fund prior to the Liquidation Date. Under the Funds’ right of reinstatement policy, shareholders, including shareholders impacted by the Delaware Ivy Cash Management Fund liquidation, have up to 90 days to buy back into Class A shares of another legacy Ivy Fund at net asset value upon reentry and notification to the liquidating Funds’ transfer agent or the shareholder’s financial intermediary. 

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.
