Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | Management’s discussion of Fund performance Performance highlights Delaware Opportunity Fund (Class A) returned 29.35% (excluding sales charge) for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024. ® ® Top contributors to performance: Stock selection was the lead contributor to the Fund’s outperformance over the period. Holdings in the consumer staples sector outperformed, specifically positions in the food distributors and packaged foods industries. Holdings in the utilities sector generated the strongest total return over the period, benefitting from an increased demand for power generation. Strong stock selection in addition to an overweight allocation to companies in the financial services sector contributed over the period. Top detractors from performance: Holdings in the energy sector underperformed those in the benchmark as holdings in the oil, gas, and consumable fuels industry declined on average. The energy sector was the only sector in the Fund to decline for the period as the price of oil fell due to excess supply. Stock selection in the industrials sector was weak as holdings in the electrical equipment and building products industries underperformed. In the technology sector, the Fund’s semiconductors holdings lagged the stronger returns of those in the benchmark during the period.

Overweight allocation to the communication services sector, which outperformed. Underweight allocation to the consumer staples sector, which underperformed. Not holding a position in Intel Corp. had a positive impact on relative performance, as the stock underperformed the index. Top detractors from performance: Holdings in IT names Micron Technology Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc., which underperformed. Overweight allocation to healthcare, which underperformed.
