Form CRS provides information concerning the services offered by Delaware Capital Management (DCM), describes associated fees and costs, and conflicts of interest that might affect DCM.

Investing involves risks, including the possible loss of principal.

The information in this document is not, and should not be construed as, an advertisement, an invitation, an offer, a solicitation of an offer or a recommendation to participate in any investment strategy or take any other action, including to buy or sell any product or security or offer any banking or financial service or facility in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to do so. This document has been prepared without taking into account any person's objectives, financial situation or needs. Recipients should not construe the contents of this document as financial, investment or other advice. It should not be relied on in making any investment decision.

Recipients should not construe the contents of this presentation as tax advice. Nomura Asset Management is not in the business of providing tax services.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

Investments in small and/or medium-sized companies typically exhibit greater risk and higher volatility than larger, more established companies.

Because the strategy expects to hold a concentrated portfolio of a limited number of securities, the strategy’s risk is increased because each investment will have a greater effect on the strategy’s overall performance. Diversification may not protect against market risk.

Duration measures a bond’s sensitivity to interest rates, by indicating the approximate percentage of change in a bond or bond fund’s price given a 1% change in interest rates. Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

Investing in ADRs may have some limitations for investors such as the absence of voting rights. International investments entail risks not ordinarily associated with US investments including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability in other nations.

The information presented is available for financial professional and managed account client use only. It is not intended and should not be construed to be a presentation of information for any mutual fund.
