Market review
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose during the 1-year period ended November 30, 2020. Early in the 12-month period, emerging market countries experienced sharp declines amid a market backdrop accented by extreme equity volatility, a flight to safety, US dollar strength, collapsing oil prices, and sharp declines in economic activity. Global equity markets rallied, however, as they responded favorably to central banks’ monetary stimulus and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in several countries. Optimism generated by the reopening of economies also underpinned a sharp recovery in commodities’ prices, including copper and oil.
Within the Fund
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net). The Fund’s Institutional Class shares gained 24.76%. The Fund’s Class A shares advanced 24.44% at net asset value and 17.27% at maximum offer price. These figures reflect all distributions reinvested. During the same period,
the Fund’s benchmark gained 18.43%. For complete, annualized performance of Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, please see the table on page 8.
China contributed the most to the Fund’s relative performance due to favorable stock selection. Shares of white-liquor companies Wuliangye Yibin Co. Ltd. and Kweichow Moutai Co. Ltd. outperformed as pricing in the premium segment remained resilient. Shares of JD.com Inc. outperformed since strong ecommerce demand benefited the company.
In India, the Fund’s overweight position in Reliance Industries Ltd. contributed to performance during the fiscal year. Reliance Industries further deleveraged its balance sheet through strategic stake sales of its digital and retail businesses.
In Taiwan, shares of MediaTek Inc. outperformed as growing demand for 5G wireless networking products has improved its profitability. Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. also outperformed as demand for the company’s leading-edge technology has been resilient. The

Fund’s underweight position in South Africa was favorable in terms of asset allocation.
Conversely, Mexico detracted the most from relative performance due to the Fund’s overweight allocation and unfavorable stock selection. A weaker macroeconomic outlook weighed on shares of Banco Santander Mexico S.A. Shares of Grupo Televisa SAB sold off as leveraged companies were more severely punished in the first half of 2020, while the weak economy negatively affected advertising demand. The Fund’s position in Coca-Cola FEMSA SAB de CV also underperformed despite its business's more stable characteristics. We believe that these businesses remain fundamentally sound and that valuations already reflect weakness in their business outlooks; therefore, we continue to hold these companies in the Fund.
In South Korea, shares of SK Telecom Co. Ltd. detracted from relative performance. The combination of regulatory pressure on pricing and the company’s investment in 5G infrastructure weighed on profitability. We expect earnings performance to improve in the coming years, supported by 5G adoption and a contribution from its investment in SK Hynix Inc.
Elsewhere, in Russia shares of Rosneft Oil Co. PJSC and Gazprom PJSC underperformed due to the weakening outlook for demand in the energy sector. We believe both companies remain highly cost-competitive and profitable. Finally, the Fund’s lack of exposure to Meituan in China was unfavorable as this stock significantly outperformed.
Among sectors, consumer staples, financials, and information technology contributed the most to
the Fund’s relative performance. In contrast, the communication services sector detracted the most from relative performance due to the Fund’s positions in Grupo Televisa and SK Telecom.
With COVID-19 still a focal point underpinning economic activity and policy making, we believe markets are likely to remain volatile. Over the long term, we continue to believe that some trends will likely persist, including greater technology adoption, industry consolidation, consumption premiumization, accommodative monetary policy, and improvements in corporate governance.
Our strategy remains centered on identifying individual companies that we believe possess sustainable franchises and favorable long-term growth prospects, and that trade at significant discounts to their intrinsic value. We are particularly focused on companies that we believe could benefit from long-term changes in how people in emerging markets live and work.
Among countries, the Fund currently holds overweight positions relative to the benchmark in South Korea, Russia, and Brazil. Conversely, the Fund is currently underweight in China, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand. Sectors we currently favor include communication services, consumer staples, technology, and energy (largely due to the Fund’s holding, Reliance Industries). The Fund is most underweight in financials.
The Fund used foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate the purchase and sale of equities traded on international exchanges. The effect of these contracts on performance was immaterial.

Market review
Overall, the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 was most notable for the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sharp market volatility that ensued. When the 12-month period began, investors were focused on the ongoing US-China trade dispute and associated tariff issues. Nonetheless, as 2019 ended, global financial markets were riding the tailwind of supportive central-bank policies.
In the third week of February 2020, however, markets sold off swiftly as investors’ attention turned to the COVID-19 outbreak in China. Beginning in March, countries around the world responded to the pandemic with lockdowns and various economic restrictions. That, in turn, prompted massive monetary and fiscal support from central banks and governments, propelling equity markets higher from late March 2020 through the end of the fiscal year.
There was plenty of volatility along the way, as a second and then third wave of the virus took place. In the summer, cases increased as lockdowns were eased. In the mid to late fall, as predicted, an even larger wave materialized as
people began to spend more time indoors. The rapidly increasing number of coronavirus cases and the slow economic recovery wreaked havoc on industries such as travel and hospitality. However, successful vaccine trials pushed equities higher in November as investors’ optimism for an end to the pandemic increased. At the same time, ongoing concern about Brexit and the looming US presidential election, with many political questions extending beyond the fiscal year, added to uncertainty and market volatility.
Throughout this challenging year, we maintained our disciplined bottom-up (stock-by-stock) investment process, which searches for companies undergoing positive fundamental change that we feel will drive earnings growth beyond what the market expects. We use a top-down macroeconomic overlay to address the magnitude of the Fund’s overweights and underweights from a geographic and sector perspective.
For example, we reduced or sold out of positions that we believed would be disproportionately affected by the virus-related slowdown during the spring. These included retail, energy, and student

housing-related firms that seemed to be exposed to greater risks during that time frame. Conversely, in light of the recent vaccine news, we identified some companies that we felt would benefit from a reopening of the economy in the coming months.
Overall, in this environment, small-cap stocks held their own, trailing large-cap stocks within the United States but keeping pace with or outperforming broad international large-cap-dominated benchmarks. In the US, the large-cap S&P 500® Index gained 17.46% and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 13.59%. Among international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index (net) gained 6.37%, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) advanced 18.43%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index (net) gained 17.51% during the fiscal year. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index (net), gained 12.04% for the period.

Within the Fund
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware International Small Cap Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI
ex USA Small Cap Index (net). The Fund’s Institutional Class shares gained 22.30%. The Fund’s Class A shares advanced 22.07% at net asset value and 15.07% at maximum offer price. These figures reflect all distributions reinvested. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark gained 12.04%. For complete, annualized performance of Delaware International Small Cap Fund, please see the table on page 12.
Our individual stock-by-stock selection process drives the Fund’s positioning. With that in mind, the sectors that contributed the most to the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal
year were information technology (IT) and industrials. The countries that made the largest
contribution to performance, based on the Fund’s holdings domiciled there, were Japan, Sweden, and Germany.
The three largest individual contributors to performance were Evolution Gaming Group AB and MIPS AB of Sweden and Japan’s
Daifuku Co. Ltd.
Shares of Evolution Gaming, a Swedish company that operates live online casino games, outperformed during the 12-month period after reporting financial results that surpassed analysts’ expectations throughout the year. The firm continued to innovate with new live online games, and it expanded its customer base. Evolution Gaming also benefited as people spent more time at home during the lockdown.
MIPS, a Swedish provider of safety technology for helmets, outperformed for the fiscal year after posting better-than-expected earnings results. While COVID-19 restrictions affected the company’s ski and snowboard helmet category, the company saw strong results in its bicycle subcategory as many more people took to the roads this past summer.
Daifuku, a Japanese manufacturer of factory automation equipment, outperformed during the fiscal year after reporting solid financial results
and maintained that its full-year order target remains achievable.
The sectors that detracted the most from the Fund’s performance were healthcare and consumer staples. The countries that detracted the most from performance were Brazil, Chile, and South Korea.
The three stocks that detracted the most from the Fund’s relative performance were Vistry Group PLC and boohoo Group PLC, based in the United Kingdom, and Norway’s BW Offshore Ltd. We exited all three positions.
UK homebuilder Vistry Group underperformed on fear of rapidly collapsing business due to the
 
4    

COVID-19 pandemic. Although the company had performed well, the UK government suspended new construction and closed sales offices until further notice during the initial COVID-19
response.
Shares of online fast-fashion retailer boohoo Group underperformed after significant concerns were raised over one of its suppliers’ subcontractors. Allegations of poor and possibly illegal working conditions at a garment manufacturer in Leicester weighed on the
share price.
Shares of BW Offshore underperformed as the effects of shuttered businesses and social distancing in response to the pandemic severely depressed oil demand and prices. The Norwegian oil service company also operates its own oil production in West Africa, and both business lines were subject to severe pressure due to the falling price of oil.
In recent weeks, the market has become more optimistic about the distribution of vaccines, as the rollout of vaccines will affect the lifting of lockdowns and the timing of a return to normal activity globally. If that works well, we think we can anticipate a stronger economic recovery. Meanwhile, we believe there will likely be ongoing central-bank monetary support as well as fiscal support until global economies truly recover. If there are any glitches regarding the rollout of vaccines or if people are reluctant to take the vaccines, we believe that could set markets back.
Meanwhile, we continue to follow the ins and outs of Brexit negotiations and what that could mean
for various firms located in the UK primarily but also, to a lesser degree, the possible spillover effect on companies in the European Union. Other concerns relate to unknowns regarding the new Biden administration’s policies and possible changes to US regulations or taxation.
As mentioned previously, the Fund’s positioning in terms of country and sector weights is driven primarily by bottom-up stock-selection opportunities. As a result, at the end of the fiscal period, relative to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index, the Fund was overweight the UK and Canada. From a sector perspective, IT and consumer discretionary were the Fund’s largest overweights. Conversely, the Fund’s largest relative underweight countries were Australia and Switzerland, again based on bottom-up stock-specific calls. Two of the Fund’s largest sector underweights at fiscal year-end were financials and materials.
The Fund may use derivatives or structured products in certain limited situations. For example, the Fund may use equity-linked notes to gain local market access in situations where direct market participation is limited. Derivatives and structured products were not used by the Fund during the fiscal period. The Fund used foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate the purchase and sale of equities traded on international exchanges. The effect of these contracts on performance
was immaterial.

Investment objective
The Fund seeks long-term growth without undue risk to principal.
Economic developments and market performance
The year 2019 ended with positive stock performance in the final month. Stock markets around the world rose during the final quarter of 2019 when the risk to global growth seemed to have subsided after the United States and China agreed on a Phase 1 trade deal. The general election in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2019 was another major event that helped remove some market uncertainty. The Conservative Party’s landslide victory meant that Brexit would move forward; Britain left the European Union (EU) on January 31, 2020. A transition period through the end of 2020 should have provided enough time for negotiations to secure a trade deal with the EU.
In the beginning of 2020, however, international markets started to realize the effects of the
fast-spreading COVID-19 pandemic, fell sharply, and marked a bottom toward the end of March 2020. Digesting the ongoing evolution of the pandemic, international equity market investors radically changed direction following the selloff. The steep collapse at an incredible velocity in the first quarter of 2020 was followed by a
notable rebound in the second quarter, fueled by unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus. After some pullback in September and October, anticipation that a vaccine for COVID-19 would soon be available sparked a rally in November and pushed the market into positive return territory for the 12-month period.
Within the Fund
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware International Value Equity Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net). The Fund’s Institutional Class shares gained 4.04%. The Fund’s Class A shares advanced 3.80% at net asset value (NAV) and declined 2.14% at maximum offer price. These figures reflect reinvestment of all distributions. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark gained 6.37%. For complete, annualized performance of Delaware International Value Equity Fund, please see the table on page 16.
The portfolio management team invests with the mindset of long-term business owners. Our research is focused on how well we think a company can deploy its capital and redeploy retained earnings. Therefore, the Fund’s portfolio
 
6

is built bottom-up (stock-by-stock) by selecting company stocks based on quantitative insights and qualitative assessments.
We use a portfolio management tool and risk model to analyze what we view as the various contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance against its benchmark. For the year ended November 30, 2020, active country and region weights had a positive effect on performance. The Fund’s overweight in Denmark and underweight in the UK relative to its benchmark were positive.
Our active sector weights likewise positively affected returns. The Fund’s underweights to financials and energy and an overweight to healthcare relative to the benchmark also contributed to a positive sector effect. The Fund’s underweight in information technology detracted from performance.
In terms of individual holdings, three of the largest contributors to active performance were Danish multinational pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk A/S, French industrial-gas company Air Liquide S.A., and Japanese power-tools manufacturer Makita Corp.
During the 12-month period, Novo Nordisk rose steadily, buoyed by positive earnings reports.
Air Liquide has a long history of allocating its capital effectively, balancing decisions of cash return to its shareholders, and pursuing growth opportunities. The industrial gases industry has a tailwind from some favorable and digitalization.
Makita rose steadily, buoyed by a first-quarter result that exceeded market expectations.
Conversely, three of the largest detractors from performance during the fiscal year were three companies based in France: multinational food-products corporation Danone S.A., food services and facilities management company Sodexo S.A., and multinational telecommunications corporation Orange S.A.
Danone delivered a soft first half in contrast with other food companies that enjoyed tailwinds from the eat-at-home trend. The Achilles’ heel for Danone was its Waters business.
Sodexo suffered disproportionally from the effects of the coronavirus. Facility servicing and restaurants have had strong headwinds due to lockdowns in most of Sodexo’s markets.
A lack of equipment sales due to the closure of three-quarters of its European stores negatively affected Orange. Its balance sheet as well was hurt by the decline in roaming revenues due to people not traveling during government lockdowns.
The Fund used foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate the purchase and sale of equities traded on international exchanges. The effect of these contracts on performance was immaterial.

International investments entail risks including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability. Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in established foreign markets due to increased volatility, lower trading volume, and higher risk of market closures. In many emerging markets, there is substantially less publicly available information and the available information may be incomplete or misleading. Legal claims are generally more difficult to pursue.
Investments in small and/or medium-sized companies typically exhibit greater risk and higher volatility than larger, more established companies.
The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund’s investments.

International investments entail risks including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability. Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in established foreign markets due to increased volatility, lower trading volume, and higher risk of market closures. In many emerging markets, there is substantially less publicly available information and the available information may be incomplete or misleading. Legal claims are generally more difficult to pursue.
Investments in small and/or medium-sized companies typically exhibit greater risk and higher volatility than larger, more established companies.
The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund’s investments.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from June 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs
(in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from June 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020.
Actual expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and
do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Fund's expenses shown in the table reflect
fee waivers in effect and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware International Funds November 30, 2020
Delaware Group® Global & International Funds (Trust) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers three series: Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, Delaware International Small Cap Fund, and Delaware International Value Equity Fund. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, Delaware International Small Cap Fund, and Delaware International Value Equity Fund (each, a Fund or collectively, the Funds). The Trust is an open-end investment company. Each Fund is considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and offers Class A, Class C, Class R, Institutional Class, and Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more will incur a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) instead of a front-end sales charge of 1.00%, if redeemed during the first year, and 0.50% during the second year, provided that Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid a financial advisor a commission on the purchase of those shares. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, which will be incurred if redeemed during the first 12 months. Class R, Institutional Class, and Class R6 shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Class R6 shares do not pay any service fees,
sub-accounting fees, and/or sub-transfer agency fees to any brokers, dealers, or other financial intermediaries.
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles
(US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation —  Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), 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 and ETFs 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 or ETF does not trade, the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. US government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Open-end investment company securities are valued at net asset value (NAV) per share, as reported by the underlying investment company. Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (Board). 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 Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Funds value their securities, generally as of 4:00pm Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign
86    

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 Funds may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing.) Restricted securities are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board.
Federal and Foreign Income Taxes —  No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
“more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on each Fund’s federal income tax returns through the year ended November 30, 2020 and for all open tax years
(years ended November 30, 2017–November 30, 2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. In regard to foreign taxes only, a Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries in which it invests in that may date back to the inception of the Fund. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” on the “Statements of operations.” During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.
Class Accounting —  Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. Class R6
shares will not be allocated any expenses related to service fees, sub-accounting fees, and/or sub-transfer agency fees paid to brokers, dealers, or other financial intermediaries.
Underlying Funds —  The Funds may invest in other investment companies (Underlying Funds) to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Underlying Funds in which the Funds may invest include ETFs. A Fund will indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds.
Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with each Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into US dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the US dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Funds generally do not bifurcate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. These gains and losses are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) on investments.” Each Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware International Funds  
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates —  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
Other — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds® by Macquarie (Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the
ex-dividend date that a Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings, a portion of which may be reclaimable. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Each Fund may pay foreign capital gains taxes on certain foreign securities held, which are reported as components of realized losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary loss for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund will accrue such taxes as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Each Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Custodian fees” with the corresponding expenses offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.” There were no earnings credit for the year ended November 30, 2020 for Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, Delaware International Small Cap Fund, and Delaware International Value Equity Fund.
88    

Each Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than $1, the expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses” with the corresponding expenses offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.” For the year ended November 30, 2020, each Fund earned the following amounts under this arrangement:
Fund   Earnings Credits
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund   $2,904
Delaware International Small Cap Fund   125
Delaware International Value Equity Fund   581
During the year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund frequently maintained a negative cash balance with its custodian, which is considered a form of borrowing or leverage. If that Fund maintains a negative cash balance and the Fund’s investments decrease in value, the Fund’s losses will be greater than if the Fund did not maintain a negative cash balance. Each Fund is required to pay interest to the custodian on negative cash balances. During the year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund had an average outstanding overdraft balance equal to 0.41% of its average net assets for which it was charged interest of $265,290, which is included on the “Statements of operations” under “Custodian fees.” The average borrowing rate charged on the overdraft was 2.56%.
2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates
In accordance with the terms of its respective investment management agreement, each Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
  Delaware Emerging
Markets Fund
  Delaware International
Small Cap Fund
  Delaware International

In excess of $2.5 billion 1.1000%   0.7000%   0.7000%
DMC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion, if any, of its management fee and/or
pay/reimburse the Funds to the extent necessary to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding any distribution and service (12b-1) fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, short sale dividend and interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and nonroutine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations), do not exceed the following specified percentages of average daily net assets of each Fund. The expense waivers were in effect from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020.* For purposes of these waivers and reimbursements, nonroutine expenses may also include such additional costs and expenses, as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Funds’ Board and DMC. These waivers and reimbursements apply only to expenses paid directly by the Funds

DMC may permit its affiliates, Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL) and Macquarie Funds Management Hong Kong Limited (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”), to execute Fund equity security trades on behalf of the Manager. The Manager may also seek quantitative support from MIMGL. Although the Affiliated Sub-Advisors serve as sub-advisors, DMC has ultimate responsibility for all investment advisory services. For these services, DMC, not the Fund, may pay each Affiliated Sub-Advisor a portion of its investment management fee.

Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to each Fund. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate daily net assets of all funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rates: 0.00475% of the first $35 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $45 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Delaware Funds pays a minimum of $4,000, which, in aggregate, is subtracted from the Total Fee. Each fund then pays its portion of the remainder of the Total Fee on a relative NAV basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Accounting and administration expenses.” For the year ended November 30, 2020, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:
Fund   Fees
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund   $177,466
Delaware International Small Cap Fund   8,009
Delaware International Value Equity Fund   13,724
DIFSC is also the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of the Funds. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate daily net assets of the retail funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rates: 0.014% of the first $20 billion; 0.011% of the next $5 billion; 0.007% of the next $5 billion; 0.005% of the next $20 billion; and 0.0025% of average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The fees payable to DIFSC under the shareholder services agreement described above are allocated among all retail funds in the Delaware Funds on a relative NAV basis. This amount is included on the “Statement of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” For the year ended November 30, 2020, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:
Fund   Fees
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund   $469,084
Delaware International Small Cap Fund   10,829
Delaware International Value Equity Fund   26,331
Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYMIS), BNYMIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to the Funds. Sub-transfer agency fees are paid by the Funds and are also included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” The fees that are calculated daily and paid as invoices are received on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, each Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25%, 1.00%, and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class C, and Class R shares, respectively. The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Institutional Class and Class R6 shares do not pay 12b-1 fees.

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates 
(continued)
As provided in the investment management agreement, each Fund bears a portion of the cost of certain resources shared with DMC, including the cost of internal personnel of DMC and/or its affiliates that provide legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services to the Funds. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Legal fees.” For the year ended November 30, 2020, each Fund was charged for internal legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees as follows:
Fund   Fees
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund   $158,458
Delaware International Small Cap Fund   5,392
Delaware International Value Equity Fund   9,567
For the year ended November 30, 2020, DDLP earned commissions on sales of Class A shares for each Fund as follows:
Fund   Commissions
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund   $28,218
Delaware International Small Cap Fund   1,408
Delaware International Value Equity Fund   4,532
For the year ended November 30, 2020, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions on redemptions of each Fund’s Class A and Class C shares, and these commissions were entirely used to offset upfront commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares. The amounts received were as follows:
Fund   Class A   Class C
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund   $30,662   $8,512
Delaware International Small Cap Fund   17,833   45
Delaware International Value Equity Fund   86   282
Trustees’ fees include expenses accrued by each Fund for each Trustee’s retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC, DIFSC, and DDLP are officers and/or Trustees of the Trusts. These officers and Trustees are paid no compensation by the Funds.
In addition to the management fees and other expenses of a Fund, a Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the investment companies (Underlying Funds) in which it invests. The amount of these fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund will vary based upon the expense and fee levels of the Underlying Funds and the number of shares that are owned of the Underlying Funds at different times.
Cross trades for the year ended November 30, 2020 were executed by the Funds pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board designed to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds of investment companies, or between a fund of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates
92    

by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common directors/trustees and/or common officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the Board reviews such transactions for compliance with the procedures adopted by the Board. Delaware International Small Cap Fund and Delaware International Value Equity Fund did not engage in Rule 17a-7 securities purchases and/or securities sales for the year ended November 30, 2020. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund engaged in Rule 17a-7 securities sales of $21,002,000, which resulted in net realized loss of $5,770,939. The Fund did not engage in Rule 17a-7 securities sales for the year ended November 30, 2020.

*The aggregate contractual waiver period covering this report is from March 27, 2020 through March 31, 2021.

3. Investments (continued)
US GAAP defines fair value as the price that each 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 entity’s 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. Each Fund's 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 as follows:
Level 1  − Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and 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, and fair valued securities)
Level 3  − Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund's own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)
Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each 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.

The securities that have been valued at zero on the “Schedules of investments” are considered to be Level 3 investments in these tables.
During the year ended November 30, 2020, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to each Fund . This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to each Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities in each Fund occurs when market volatility exceeds an established rolling threshold. If the threshold is exceeded on a given date, then prices of international securities (those that traded on exchanges that close at a different time than the time that each Fund’s NAV is determined) are established using a separate pricing feed from a third-party vendor designed to establish a price for each such security as of the time that each Fund’s NAV is determined. Further, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. International fair value pricing was not utilized at November 30, 2020. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to that Fund’s net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to each Fund's net assets at the beginning, interim, or end of the year. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 inputs since the Level 3 investments are not considered significant to each Fund’s net assets at the end of the year.
During the year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware International Value Equity Fund had no Level 3 investments.

7. Line of Credit
Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $250,000,000 revolving line of credit (Agreement) intended to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. The Agreement was increased to $275,000,000 on May 6, 2020. Under the Agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which was allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit available under the Agreement expired on November 2, 2020.
On November 2, 2020, each Fund, along with the other Participants entered into an amendment to the Agreement for an amount of $225,000,000 to be used as described above. It operates in substantially the same manner as the original Agreement with the addition of an upfront fee of 0.05%, which was allocated across the Participants. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on November 1, 2021.
Each Fund had no amounts outstanding as of November 30, 2020, or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Derivatives
US GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Each Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. Each Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. Each Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, each Fund may enter into these contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, each Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between each Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover each Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
During the year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund and Delaware International Small Cap Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. Delaware International Value Equity Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency contracts in order to fix the US dollar value of a security between trade date and settlement date.
During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Funds experienced net realized and unrealized gains or losses attributable to foreign currency holdings, which are disclosed on the “Statements of assets and liabilities” and “Statements of operations.”

9. Offsetting
Each Fund entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar agreement with certain of their derivative contract counterparties in order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help each Fund mitigate its counterparty risk. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.
For financial reporting purposes, each Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements on the “Statement of assets and liabilities.”
At November 30, 2020, each Fund had the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

Securities Lending
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under master securities lending agreements (each, an MSLA) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Funds, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Funds can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral (see also Note 10).
As of November 30, 2020, the following table is a summary of the Funds’ securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

(a)The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the derivatives and securities lending transactions as of November 30, 2020, as applicable.
(b)Net exposure represents the receivable (payable) that would be due from (to) the counterparty in the event of default.
10. Securities Lending
Each Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (1) 102% with respect to US securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in US dollars; and (2) 105%
104    

with respect to foreign securities. With respect to each loan, if on any business day, the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day, which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower, BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security on any particular day may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. The collateral percentage with respect to the market value of the loaned security is determined by the security lending agent.
Cash collateral received by each fund of the Trust is generally invested in a series of individual separate accounts, each corresponding to a fund. The investment guidelines permit each separate account to hold certain securities that would be considered eligible securities for a money market fund. Cash collateral received is generally invested in government securities; certain obligations issued by government sponsored enterprises; repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasury securities; obligations issued by the central government of any Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country or its agencies, instrumentalities, or establishments; obligations of supranational organizations; commercial paper, notes, bonds, and other debt obligations; certificates of deposit, time deposits, and other bank obligations; and asset-backed securities as disclosed on the “Schedule of investments.” Securities purchased with cash collateral are valued at the market value. Each Fund can also accept US government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans.
In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to each Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. Each Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to changes in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Each Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, each Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among each Fund, the security lending agent, and the borrower. Each Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.
Each Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral. This could occur if an investment in each collateral investment account defaulted or became impaired. Under those circumstances, the value of each Fund’s cash collateral account may be less than the amount each Fund would be required to return to the borrowers of the securities and each Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.

During the year ended November 30, 2020, Delaware Emerging Markets Fund and Delaware International Small Cap Fund had no securities out on loan.
11. Credit and Market Risk
Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers, all of which may negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the greater China region, which consists of Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China, and Taiwan, among other countries. As a result, the Fund’s investments in the region are particularly susceptible to risks in that region. Adverse events in any one country within the region may impact the other countries in the region or Asia as a whole. As a result, adverse events in the region will generally have a greater effect on the Fund than if the Fund were more geographically diversified, which could result in greater volatility in the Fund’s net asset value and losses. Markets in the greater China region can experience significant volatility due to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties.
Some countries in which the Funds may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the major securities markets in the US. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by each Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value
106    

of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by each Fund.
Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, each Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”
12. Contractual Obligations
Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, each Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund's existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. At this time, Management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.
14. Subsequent Events
Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2020, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds' financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of November 30, 2020, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2020 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Board consideration of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, Delaware International Small Cap Fund, and Delaware International Value Equity Fund at a meeting held August 11-13, 2020
At a meeting held on August 11-13, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for each of Delaware Emerging Markets Fund, Delaware International Small Cap Fund, and Delaware International Value Equity Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies, and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (“MIMBT”) and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (“MIMGL”), Macquarie Funds Management Hong Kong Limited (“MFMHK”), Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (“MIMEL”), and Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (“MIMAK”) (the “Sub-Advisers”), included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (collectively, “Macquarie Investment Management”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Funds; the costs of such services to the Funds; economies of scale; and the investment manager’s financial condition and profitability. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, materials were provided to the Trustees in May 2020, including reports provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”). The Broadridge reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Broadridge reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition to the information noted above, the Board also requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities for certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, the investment manager’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.
In considering information relating to the approval of each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory agreements, as applicable, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and also received assistance and advice from an experienced and knowledgeable independent fund consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (“JDL”). Although the Board gave attention to all information furnished, the following discussion identifies, under separate headings, the primary factors taken into account by the Board during its contract renewal considerations.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. The Board considered the services provided by DMC to the Funds and their shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Funds; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; compliance by DMC and Delaware Distributors, L.P. (together, “Management”) personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Funds® by
110    

Macquarie (“Delaware Funds”); and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of DMC and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s receipt of certain favorable industry distinctions during the past several years. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMC’s efforts to control expenses while maintaining service levels committed to Fund matters. The Board also noted the benefits provided to Fund shareholders through (a) each shareholder’s ability to: (i) exchange an investment in one Delaware Fund for the same class of shares in another Delaware Fund without a sales charge, or (ii) reinvest Fund dividends into additional shares of the Fund or into additional shares of other Delaware Funds, and (b) the privilege to combine holdings in other Delaware Funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the overall services provided by DMC.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. The Board considered the services provided by each
Sub-Adviser to the Funds. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year at regular Board Meetings covering matters such as relative performance of the Funds; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; the compliance of Sub-Adviser personnel with its Code of Ethics; and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of the Sub-Advisers and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the overall services provided by the
Sub-Advisers.
Investment performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board considered performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Investment Committee meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Broadridge reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for each Fund showed the investment performance of its Class A shares in comparison to a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the best performance ranked first, and a fund with the poorest performance ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the
poorest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, to the extent, applicable, ended January 31, 2020. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods be at or above the median of its Performance Universe.
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional emerging markets funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was very satisfied with performance.
Delaware International Small Cap Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional international small-/mid-cap growth funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the third

quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3- and 10-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe and the Fund’s total return for the 5-year period was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance results were mixed. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the numerous investment and performance reports delivered by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking action to improve Fund performance and to meet the Board’s performance objective.
Delaware International Value Equity Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional international multi-cap core funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1- and 5-year periods was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3- and 10-year periods was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance results were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the performance attribution included in the Meeting materials, as well as the numerous investment and performance reports delivered by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking action to improve Fund performance and to meet the Board’s performance objective.
Comparative expenses. The Board considered expense data for the Delaware Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for each Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also focused on the comparative analysis of effective management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund versus effective management fees and total expense ratios of a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”). In reviewing comparative costs, each Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) within the Expense Group, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers. Each Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group. The Broadridge total expenses, for comparative consistency, were shown by Broadridge for Class A shares and comparative total expenses including 12b-1 and non-12b-1 service fees. The Board’s objective is for each Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with those of the peer funds within its Expense Group.
Delaware Emerging Markets Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee and total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through March 2021 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting, fund accounting oversight and custody services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware International Small Cap Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee and total expenses were in the quartile with the lowest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board was satisfied with the management fee and total expenses of the Fund in comparison to those of its Expense Group as shown in the Broadridge report.
Delaware International Value Equity Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through March 2021 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting, fund accounting oversight and custody services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.
Management profitability. The Board considered the level of profits realized by DMC in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC’s business in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds and the Delaware Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of DMC, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by DMC. The Board considered DMC’s efforts to improve services provided to Fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent industry-wide Securities and Exchange Commission initiatives. The Board also considered the extent to which DMC might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware Funds and the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies. As part of its work, the Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding MIMBT profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees met with JDL personnel to discuss DMC’s profitability in such context. The Board found that the management fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the level of profitability of DMC.
Management profitability. Trustees were also given available information on profits being realized by each of the Sub-Advisers in relation to the services being provided to the Fund and in relation to the Sub-Adviser’s overall investment advisory business, but believed such information to be of limited relevance because the sub-advisory fees are paid by DMC out of its management fee, and changes in the level of sub-advisory fees have no impact on Fund expenses. The Board was also provided information on potential fall-out benefits derived or to be derived by the Sub-Advisers in connection with their relationship to the Funds, such as reputational enhancement, soft dollar arrangements, or commissions paid to affiliated broker/dealers, as applicable.
Economies of scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by DMC as each Fund’s assets increase and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s advisory fee pricing and structure, approved by the Board and shareholders, which includes breakpoints, and which applies to most funds in the Delaware Funds complex. Breakpoints in the advisory fee occur when the advisory fee rate is

reduced on assets in excess of specified levels. Breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints are exceeded. Although, as of March 31, 2020, each of the Funds had not reached a size at which it could take advantage of any breakpoints in the applicable fee schedule, the Board recognized that the fee was structured so that, if the Fund increases sufficiently in size, then economies of scale may be shared.

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum
Delaware Funds® by Macquarie
A mutual fund is governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place.

1On November 18, 2020, the Board of Trustees of Delaware Group® Equity Funds IV (the “Board”) approved the replacement of the Fund's current portfolio managers with the Global Systematic Investment team of the Fund's current sub-advisor, Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL). In connection with this determination, the Board approved certain changes to the Fund's investment strategies. These portfolio management and strategy changes will be effective on or about January 29, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). The investment strategy changes may result in higher portfolio turnover in the near term, as the new portfolio management team purchases and sells securities to accommodate the investment strategy changes. A higher portfolio turnover is likely to cause the Fund to realize capital gains and incur transaction costs. You should consult your financial advisor about the changes that will result from the investment strategy changes.
Carefully consider a Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing.
This and other information can be found in each Fund’s prospectus and, if available, its summary prospectus.

Caring for your portfolio
Over a lifetime, things change. When they do, it’s important to ensure that your investments stay in tune with your personal situation.
If you decide to make some changes, check
out the convenient options provided by Macquarie Investment Management. We try to make it easy for you to avoid some of the sales charges that you might otherwise have to pay when you withdraw and invest your money with another firm.
Most importantly, you may generally
exchange all or part of your shares in one Delaware Funds® by Macquarie mutual fund for shares of the same class of another fund without paying a front-end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).
Choose the investment method suitable for you
After you’ve evaluated your overall investments, you have choices about how to implement
any changes:
1. Move assets all at once at any time.
2. Migrate funds to a different investment slowly through a systematic exchange. You can arrange automatic monthly exchanges of your shares in one Delaware fund for those in another Delaware fund. Systematic exchanges are subject to the same rules as regular exchanges, which are explained in the right column, including a $100 minimum monthly amount per fund.
3. Use our automatic investing plan for future investments in different vehicles. To allocate your future investments differently, the Macquarie Investment Management automatic investing plan allows you to make regular monthly or quarterly investments directly from your checking account.
Important notes about exchanging or redeeming shares
For automated exchanges, a minimum exchange of $100 per fund is required monthly. If the value of your account is $5,000 or more, you can make systematic withdrawals of at least $25 monthly,
or $75 quarterly. If the annual amount you withdraw is less than 12% of your account balance at the time the systematic withdrawal plan is established, the CDSC ordinarily applicable to certain fund classes will be waived. More details are available in your prospectus or at
delawarefunds.com/literature.
If you exchange shares from Class R shares of any fund, you will pay any applicable sales charge on your new shares.
When exchanging Class C shares of one fund for the same class of shares in other funds, your new shares will be subject to the same CDSC as the shares you originally purchased. The holding period for the CDSC will also remain the same, with the amount of time you held your original shares being credited toward the holding period of your new shares.
You do not pay sales charges on shares that you acquired through the reinvestment of dividends. You may have to pay taxes on your exchange. When you exchange shares, you are purchasing shares in another fund, so you should be sure to get a copy of the fund’s prospectus and
read it carefully before buying shares through an exchange.
We may refuse the purchase side of any exchange request if, in the manager’s judgment, the fund would be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
