Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from September 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024 (Unaudited)
The investment objective of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund is to seek as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax as is available from municipal obligations and as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital.
The investment objective of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax primarily through investment in medium-and lower-grade municipal obligations.
As a shareholder of a 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. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from September 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024.
Actual expenses
The first section of the tables 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 Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds' expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Notes to financial statements
| Delaware Funds by Macquarie® national tax-free funds | February 29, 2024 (Unaudited) |
Delaware Group® Tax-Free Fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers two series: Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers five series: Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund. Delaware Group Tax-Free Fund and Voyageur Mutual Funds are each referred to as a Trust, or collectively, as the Trusts. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (each a Fund, or collectively, the Funds). Each Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and offer Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50% for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and 2.75% for Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $250,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $250,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund or Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (Limited CDSC) of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first 18 months after your purchase or for shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, you will have to pay a Limited CDSC of 0.75% if you redeem these shares within the first year after your purchase, unless a specific waiver of the Limited CDSC applies. Class C shares have no upfront sales charge, but are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00%, which will be incurred if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.
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 — Fixed income securities are generally priced based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker in accordance with methodologies included within Delaware Management Company (DMC)'s Pricing Policy (the Policy). Fixed income security valuations are then reviewed by DMC as part of its duties as each Fund's valuation designee and, to the extent required by the Policy and applicable regulation, fair valued consistent with the Policy. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Generally, other securities and assets for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by DMC. Subject to the oversight of each Trust's Board of Trustees (each, a Board, or collectively, the Boards), DMC, as valuation designee, has adopted policies and procedures to fair value securities for which market quotations are not readily available consistent with the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. 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. Restricted securities and private placements are valued at fair value.
Federal 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 six months ended February 29, 2024, and for all open tax years (years ended August 31, 2020–August 31, 2023), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” on the “Statements of operations.” During the six months ended February 29, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.
Class Accounting — Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of “settled shares” of each class in relation to the net assets of each Fund. 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.
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 that 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. Interest income is recorded on an 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. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, at least 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 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.”
2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates
In accordance with the terms of its respective investment management agreement, each Fund pays DMC, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust and the investment managers, an annual fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administrative oversight services to each Fund. For these services, effective October 1, 2023, 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: 0.0050% of the first $60 billion; 0.00475% of the next $30 billion; and 0.0015% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $90 billion (Total Fee). Prior to October 1, 2023, DIFSC’s annual rates were: 0.00475% of the first $35 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; 0.0025% of the next $45 billion; and 0.0015% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $90 billion. 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 net asset value (NAV) basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Accounting and administration expenses.” For the six months ended February 29, 2024, each Fund paid for these services as follows:

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. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” For the six months ended February 29, 2024, each Fund paid for these services as follows:
| Fund | | Fees | |
| Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund | | $ | 33,230 | |
| Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund | | | 37,505 | |
| Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | | 87,574 | |
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 each Fund and are also included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” The fees are calculated daily and paid as invoices are received on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund pay DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund's Class A shares are subject to a blended 12b-1 fee of 0.10% on all shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992 and 0.25% on all shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shareholders bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.25% of the average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. Each Fund pays 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares. The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Institutional Class shares do not pay a 12b-1 fee.
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 and regulatory reporting services to the Funds. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Legal fees.” For the six months ended February 29, 2024, each Fund paid for internal legal and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees as follows:
| Fund | | Fees | |
| Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund | | $ | 13,143 | |

3. Investments (continued)
At February 29, 2024, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for federal income tax purposes have been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At February 29, 2024, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for each Fund were as follows:
| Fund | | Cost of

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, forward 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 following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of February 29, 2024:

| | | Level 2 | |
| Securities | | | | |

During the six months ended February 29, 2024, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 investments. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 investments based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when each Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period in relation to each Fund's net assets. As of February 29, 2024, there were no Level 3 investments.

5. Reorganization
On February 15-16, 2023, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize Delaware Ivy Municipal Bond Fund (the “Acquired Fund I”), a series of Ivy Funds, and Delaware Ivy Municipal High Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund II”), a series of Ivy Funds, (and together with Acquired Fund I, the “Acquired Funds”) with and into Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund (the “Acquiring Fund I”), a series of the Delaware Group Tax-Free Fund, and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund II”), a series of the Voyageur Mutual Funds (and together with Acquiring Fund I, the “Acquiring Funds”) (the “Reorganizations”). On June 27, 2023, Acquired Fund I shareholders and Acquired Fund II shareholders, respectively, approved the Reorganizations. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”): (i) all of the property and assets of the Acquired Funds were acquired by the Acquiring Funds, and (ii) the Trusts, on behalf of Acquiring Funds, assumed the liabilities of the Acquired Funds, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds. In accordance with the Plan, Acquired Funds liquidated and dissolved following the Reorganizations. The Reorganizations were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on September 15, 2023 for the Acquired Funds reorganization. For financial
reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Funds were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Funds was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Acquiring Funds' realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The share transactions associated with the Acquired Fund I Reorganizations were as follows:

5. Reorganization (continued)
The net assets of the Acquired Funds before the Reorganizations were as follows:
| | | Net Assets | |
| Delaware Ivy Municipal Bond Fund | | $ | 305,457,973 | |
| Delaware Ivy Municipal High Income Fund | | | 443,535,339 | |
The Acquired Funds net assets and shares outstanding presented on the table above do not include the shareholders that did not participate in the reorganization. The net assets of the Acquiring Fund I and Acquiring Fund II immediately following the Reorganizations were as follows:
| | | Net Assets | |
| Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund | | $ | 1,037,820,170 | |
| Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | | 2,608,475,770 | |
Assuming the Reorganizations had been completed on September 1, 2023, the Acquiring Funds' pro forma results of operations for the six months ended February 29, 2024, would have been as follows:
| | | Delaware Tax-Free
USA Fund | | | Delaware National
High-Yield Municipal
Bond Fund | |
| Net investment income | | $ | 29,042,836 | | | $ | 79,888,679 | |
| Net realized loss on investments | | | (25,960,111 | ) | | | (5,901,222 | ) |
| Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | | 84,342,323 | | | | 135,561,863 | |
| Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 87,425,048 | | | $ | 209,549,320 | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Acquired Funds that have been included in Acquiring Funds' “Statements of operations” since the Reorganizations were consummated on September 15, 2023.
6. Line of Credit
Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $355,000,000 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. 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 October 30, 2023.
On October 30, 2023, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the Agreement for a $335,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used as described above. It operates in substantially the same manner as the original Agreement. Under the amendment to the Agreement, the Participants are charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which is allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The line of credit available under the Agreement expires on October 28, 2024.
Each Fund had no amounts outstanding as of February 29, 2024, or at any time during the period then ended.
7. Securities Lending
Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate 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% 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 the Fund is generally invested in an individual separate account. 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; certain money market funds; and asset-

backed securities. The 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 the Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The 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. The 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, the 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 the Fund, the security lending agent, and the borrower. The 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 the collateral investment account defaulted or became impaired. Under those circumstances, the value of the Fund’s cash collateral account may be less than the amount the Fund would be required to return to the borrowers of the securities and the Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.
At February 29, 2024, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund had no securities out on loan. For the six months ended February 29, 2024, Delaware Tax Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund were not included in the Lending Agreement.
8. Geographic, Credit and Market Risks
The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.
When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e. debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. A fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.
The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities, and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in US territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam, whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income
taxes. The value of the Funds’ investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the US states or territories, regional or local economic conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no certainty that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund.
As of February 29, 2024, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California and territory of Puerto Rico, which constituted approximately 13.42% and 15.60%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. As of February 29, 2024, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of New York and territory of Puerto Rico, which constituted approximately 16.21% and 10.69%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. As of February 29, 2024, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the state of California and territory of Puerto Rico, which constituted approximately 12.48% and 14.79%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. These investments could make each Fund more sensitive to economic conditions in those states than other more geographically diversified national municipal income funds.
From time to time, each Fund may invest in industrial development bonds (IDBs) or pollution control revenue (PCR) bonds that are issued by a conduit authority on behalf of a corporation that is either foreign owned or has international affiliates or operations. While the bonds may be issued to finance a facility located in the US, the bonds may be secured by a payment obligation or guaranty of the corporation. To the extent each Fund invests in such securities, that Fund may be exposed to risks associated with international investments. The risk of international investments not ordinarily associated with US investments includes fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, and/or economic or political instability in other nations.
Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction, or through a combination of such approaches. Each Fund will usually not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.
Each Fund may invest in advance refunded bonds, escrow secured bonds, or defeased bonds. Under current federal tax laws and regulations, state and local government borrowers are permitted to refinance outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. The issuer refinances the outstanding debt to either reduce interest costs or to remove or alter restrictive covenants imposed by the bonds being refinanced. A refunding transaction where the municipal securities are being refunded within 90 days from the issuance of the refunding issue is known as a “current refunding.” “Advance refunded bonds” are bonds in which the refunded bond issue remains outstanding for more than 90 days following the issuance of the refunding issue.

advance refunding, the issuer will use the proceeds of a new bond issue to purchase high grade interest-bearing debt securities, which are then deposited in an irrevocable escrow account held by an escrow agent to secure all future payments of principal and interest and bond premium of the advance refunded bond. Bonds are “escrowed to maturity” when the proceeds of the refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the original interest payment and maturity dates.
Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issuer’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed secured bonds will often receive a rating of AAA from Moody’s, S&P, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.
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.”
9. 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.
10. Subsequent Events
Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to February 29, 2024, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
