Portfolio objectives
The Large-Cap Value Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio invests primarily in securities of large-capitalization companies that we believe have long-term capital appreciation potential. The Portfolio currently defines large-capitalization stocks as those with market capitalizations of $5 billion or greater at the time of purchase. Typically, we seek to select securities that we believe are undervalued in relation to their intrinsic value as indicated by multiple factors.
The All-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio primarily invests in common stocks of companies that we believe have long-term capital appreciation potential and are expected to grow faster than the U.S. economy.
The Large-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of growth-oriented companies that we believe have long-term capital appreciation potential and expect to grow faster than the U.S. economy.
The Mid-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio seeks maximum long-term capital growth. Current income is expected to be incidental. The Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of medium-sized companies that we believe present, at the time of purchase, significant long-term growth potential.
The Small-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of companies we believe have potential for high earnings growth. For purposes of this Portfolio, we consider small-capitalization companies to be those that generally represent the smallest 25% in terms of market capitalization of U.S. equity securities listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq (at the time of purchase).
The Focus Smid-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of growth-oriented companies that we believe have long-term capital appreciation potential and expect to grow faster than the U.S. economy.
The Smid-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio will invest primarily in equity securities of small- and mid-sized companies that we believe have the potential for high earnings growth at the time of purchase. For purposes of this Portfolio, we will generally consider small-capitalization companies to be those whose market capitalizations fall within the range represented in the Russell 2000 Growth Index at the time of the Portfolio’s investment and mid-cap companies to be those whose market capitalizations fall within the range represented in the Russell Midcap Growth Index at the time of the Portfolio’s investment.
The Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio II seeks maximum long-term total return, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Portfolio invests primarily in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry. The Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio shares the same investment objective and strategies and is closed to new investors.
The Intermediate Fixed Income Portfolio seeks maximum long-term total return, consistent with reasonable risk. The Portfolio invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed income obligations, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities (U.S. government securities), mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, and other fixed income securities.
The Core Focus Fixed Income Portfolio seeks maximum long-term total return, consistent with reasonable risk. The Portfolio will invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade, fixed income obligations, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, and other fixed income securities.
The High-Yield Bond Portfolio seeks high total return. The Portfolio will primarily invest its assets at the time of purchase in: (1) corporate bonds that may be rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (NRSRO); (2) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities; or (3) commercial paper of companies rated A-1 or A-2 by S&P, or rated P-1 or P-2 by Moody’s, or that may be unrated but considered to be of comparable quality.
The Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio seeks maximum long-term total return, consistent with reasonable risk. The Portfolio allocates its investments principally among three sectors of the fixed income securities markets: U.S. investment-grade securities, U.S. high yield securities, and international bonds.
The International Equity Portfolio seeks maximum long-term total return. The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of companies that are organized, have a majority of their assets, or derive most of their operating income from outside the United States, and that, in our
2
opinion, are undervalued at the time of purchase based on our fundamental analysis. Investments will be made mainly in marketable securities of companies in developed countries. The International Equity Portfolio is closed to new investors.
The Labor Select International Equity Portfolio seeks maximum long-term total return. The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of companies that are organized, have a majority of their assets, or derive most of their operating income from outside of the United States and which, in our opinion, are undervalued at the time of purchase based on the rigorous fundamental analysis that we employ. In addition to following these quantitative guidelines, we will select securities of issuers that present certain characteristics that are compatible or operate in accordance with certain investment policies or restrictions followed by organized labor.
The Emerging Markets Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio, an international fund, generally invests in equity securities of companies organized in, having a majority of their assets in, or deriving a majority of their operating income from emerging countries. The Emerging Markets Portfolio is closed to new investors.
The Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio seeks maximum long-term total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies in the real estate and real estate–related sectors. The Portfolio may invest in companies across all market capitalizations and may invest its assets in securities of companies located in emerging market countries. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 40% of its total assets in non-U.S. securities.
The Global Fixed Income Portfolio seeks current income consistent with the preservation of principal. The Portfolio invests primarily in fixed-income securities that may also provide the potential for capital appreciation. The Portfolio is a global fund that invests in issuers located throughout the world. The Global Fixed Income Portfolio is closed to new investors.
The International Fixed Income Portfolio seeks current income consistent with the preservation of principal. The Portfolio invests primarily in fixed-income securities that may also provide the potential for capital appreciation. The Portfolio is an international fund that invests primarily in issuers that are organized in, have a majority of their assets in, or derive most of their operating income from outside of the United States. The International Fixed Income Portfolio is closed to new investors.
Please see the Portfolios’ current prospectus, as supplemented, which contains important information regarding the portfolio managers for certain Portfolios. A copy of the prospectus may be obtained by calling 800 231-8002.
Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in well-established foreign markets.
Foreign investments are subject to risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, such as currency, economic and political risks, and different accounting standards.
High-yielding, noninvestment grade bonds involve higher risk than investment-grade bonds. Adverse conditions may affect the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal on these securities.
Portfolios that invest in REITs are subject to many of the risks associated with direct real estate ownership and, as such, may be adversely affected by declines in real estate values, and general and local economic conditions.
Portfolios that invest in small- and/or mid-size company stocks typically involve greater risk, particularly in the short term, than those investing in larger, more established companies.
A rise or fall in interest rates can have a significant impact on prices of bonds held by a portfolio. Portfolios that invest in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and an investor can lose principal.

Disclosure of Portfolio expenses
For the Period November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including reimbursement fees on The Emerging Markets Portfolio; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees on The Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio and other Portfolio expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio 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 period from November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Portfolio Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this 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 the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second section of the 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 Portfolios’ actual expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect. The expenses shown in the table assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.
In each case, “Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to a Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Portfolios.
Security Valuation — Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities 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 does not trade, then the mean between the bid and asked prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price before each Portfolio is valued. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Other long-term debt securities are valued by an independent pricing service and such prices are believed to reflect the fair value of such securities. Short-term debt securities having less than 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities lending collateral is valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices of the contracts and are marked-to-market daily. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. Swap contracts and 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. 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 with respect to foreign securities, aftermarket trading or significant events after local market trading (e.g., government actions or pronouncements, trading volume or volatility on markets, exchanges among dealers, or news events).

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (Statement 157). Statement 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Statement 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 157 to have an impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Federal Income Taxes — Each Portfolio intends to qualify or continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolios’ 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 would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in the portfolio net asset value calculations as late as the portfolios’ last net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Portfolios will incorporate FIN 48 in their semiannual report on April 30, 2008. Although the Portfolios’ tax positions are currently being evaluated, management does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the Portfolios’ financial statements.
Class Accounting — Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of The Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.
Repurchase Agreements — Each Portfolio may invest in a pooled cash account along with members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by each Portfolio’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. 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 Portfolios isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices of debt securities. For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in realized gains (losses) on investments. The Portfolios report certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, where such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.
Reimbursement Fees — The Emerging Markets Portfolio may charge a 0.75% purchase reimbursement fee and a 0.75% redemption reimbursement fee. These fees are designed to reflect an approximation of the brokerage and other transaction costs associated with the investment of an investor’s purchase amount or the disposition of assets to meet redemptions, and to limit the extent to which the Portfolio (and, indirectly, the Portfolio’s existing shareholders) would have to bear such costs. These fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital for the Portfolio in the Statement of Changes.
Other — Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolios are charged directly to the Portfolios. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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 the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest income. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts are recorded as dividend income on ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer. The financial statements reflect an estimate of the reclassification of the distribution character. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Portfolio is aware of such dividends, net of all non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with each Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
The Intermediate Fixed Income Portfolio declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays such dividends monthly. Each other Portfolio declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually. All Portfolios declare and pay distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Subject to seeking best execution, the Portfolios may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to each Portfolio in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement accorded the order, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Portfolio on the transaction. Such commission rebates are included in realized gain on investments in the accompanying financial statements. The total commission rebates for the six months ended April 30, 2007 are as follows:
| | Commission Rebates | |
The All-Cap Growth Equity Portfolio | | $ | 1,876 | |

The Portfolios may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in custodian fees on the Statements of Operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.”
2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Trustees’ fees and benefits include expenses accrued by each Portfolio for each Trustee’s retainer, per meeting fees and retirement benefits. Independent Trustees with over five years of uninterrupted service were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for the payments of benefits upon retirement. The amount of the retirement benefit was determined based on factors set forth in the plan, including the number of years of service. On November 16, 2006, the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios unanimously voted to terminate the retirement plan. Payments equal to the net present value of the earned benefits were made in 2007 to those independent Trustees so entitled. Certain officers of DMC and DSC are officers and/or trustees of the Trust. These officers and trustees are paid no compensation by the Portfolios. The retirement benefit payout for each Portfolio was as follows:
| | Retirement Benefit Payout | |

4. Dividend and Distribution Information
Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

*The undistributed earnings for The Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio II and The Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio are estimated pending final notification of the tax character of distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts.
The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on futures contracts, foreign currency contracts, straddle deferrals, realization of unrealized gain on investments in passive foreign investment companies, contingent payment debt instruments, nondeductible taxes and tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments.
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of net operating losses, gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, dividends and distributions, market discount and premium on certain debt instruments, nondeductible taxes, passive foreign investment companies and paydown gains (losses) on mortgage- and asset-backed securities. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Portfolios recorded an estimate of these differences since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end.

7. Line of Credit
The Portfolios, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (the “Participants”), participate in a $225,000,000 revolving line of credit facility to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee, which is allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants may borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The Portfolios had no amounts outstanding as of April 30, 2007, or at any time during the six months then ended.
8. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The All-Cap Growth Equity, The Large-Cap Growth Equity, The Small-Cap Growth Equity, The Focus Smid-Cap Growth Equity, The Smid-Cap Growth Equity, The Real Estate Investment Trust II, The Intermediate Fixed Income, The Core Focus Fixed Income, The High-Yield Bond, The Core Plus Fixed Income, The International Equity, The Labor Select International Equity, The Emerging Markets, The Global Real Estate Securities, The Global Fixed Income and The International Fixed Income Portfolios may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolios may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that they have 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. The Portfolios may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities they already own that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in market 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 limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolios could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The unrealized gain (loss) is included in receivables and other assets net of liabilities or liabilities net of receivables and other assets on the Statements of Net Assets.
9. Futures Contracts
The All-Cap Growth Equity, The Large-Cap Growth Equity, The Mid-Cap Growth Equity, The Small-Cap Growth Equity, The Focus Smid-Cap Growth Equity, The Smid-Cap Growth Equity, The Real Estate Investment Trust II, The Intermediate Fixed Income, The Core Focus Fixed Income, The Core Plus Fixed Income, The Emerging Markets, The Global Real Estate Securities and The International Fixed Income Portfolios may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge their existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio deposits cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and
123
Notes to financial statements

9. Futures Contracts (continued)
are recorded daily by each Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss 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. Risk of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. The unrealized gain (loss) is included in liabilities net of receivables and other assets on the Statements of Net Assets.
10. Swap Contracts
The Intermediate Fixed Income Portfolio, The Core Focus Fixed Income Portfolio and The Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap contracts and index swap contracts in accordance with their investment objectives. These Portfolios and The High-Yield Bond Portfolio may enter into credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts in accordance with their investment objectives. The Portfolios may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Portfolios invest in, such as the corporate bond market. The Portfolios may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Portfolios on favorable terms. The Portfolios may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.
An interest rate swap involves payments received by the Portfolio from another party based on a variable or floating interest rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest rate swap can also work in reverse with the Portfolio receiving payments based on a fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts.
Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, each Portfolio will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, each Portfolio will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract.
A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (the “purchaser of protection”) transfers to another party (the “seller of protection”) the financial risk of a Credit Event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Portfolio in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a Credit Event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty.
Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. If the Portfolio enters into a CDS contract as a purchaser of protection and no credit event occurs, its exposure is limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty.
Because there is no organized market for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Portfolio terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these agreements include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movements in the value of the underlying security, instrument, or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the Statements of Net Assets.
There were no swap contracts outstanding at April 30, 2007.
11. Securities Lending
The Portfolios, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend their securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with J.P. Morgan Chase. Initial security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required to be secured by U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash collateral not less than 102% of the market value of the securities issued in the United States and 105% of the market value of securities issued outside the United States. With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of the collateral held on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is invested in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top two tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. However, 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 Portfolios, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Portfolios continue to record dividends on the securities loaned and are subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Portfolios have the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The security lending agent and the borrower retain a portion of the earnings from collateral investments. The Portfolios record security lending income net of such allocation.

11. Securities Lending (continued)
At April 30, 2007, the market value of securities on loan is presented below, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the Statements of Net Assets under the caption “Security Lending Collateral.”
| | Market Value of Securities on Loan | |
The International Equity Portfolio | | $ | 486,187,772 | |
The Labor Select International Equity Portfolio | | 209,575,784 | |
The Global Fixed Income Portfolio | | 11,288,351 | |
| | | | |
12. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which The International Equity, The Labor Select International Equity, The Emerging Markets, The Global Real Estate Securities, The Global Fixed Income and The International Fixed Income Portfolios 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 United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Portfolios may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value 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 the Portfolios.
The High-Yield Bond Portfolio invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which carry ratings of BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and/or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.
The Intermediate Fixed Income, The Core Focus Fixed Income, The Core Plus Fixed Income, The Global Real Estate Securities and The Global Fixed Income Portfolios invest in fixed-income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios’ yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Portfolio may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories. The Mid-Cap Growth Equity, The Intermediate Fixed Income, The International Equity and The Global Fixed Income Portfolios may invest up to 10% of each Portfolio’s net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The Large-Cap Value Equity, The All-Cap Growth Equity, The Large-Cap Growth Equity, The Small-Cap Growth Equity, The Focus Smid-Cap Growth Equity, The Smid-Cap Growth Equity, The Real Estate Investment Trust II, The Core Focus Fixed Income, The High-Yield Bond, The Core Plus Fixed Income, The Labor Select International Equity, The Emerging Markets, The Global Real Estate Securities and The International Fixed Income Portfolios may each invest up to 15% of each Portfolio’s net assets in such securities. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Portfolio 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, the Portfolios’ Board of Trustees has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Portfolios’ limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the Statements of Net Assets.
The All-Cap Growth Equity, The Mid-Cap Growth Equity, The Small-Cap Growth Equity, The Focus Smid-Cap Growth Equity, The Smid-Cap Growth Equity and The Global Real Estate Securities Portfolios invest a significant portion of their assets in small- and mid-sized companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small- or mid-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include more limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.
The Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio II and The Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio concentrate their investments in the real estate industry and are subject to some of the risks associated with that industry. If a Portfolio holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receive rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. These Portfolios are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the real estate investment trusts they hold use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations. Each Portfolio’s investments may also tend to fluctuate more in value than a portfolio that invests in a broader range of industries.
13. Contractual Obligations
The Portfolios enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Portfolios have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Portfolios’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the period November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007
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/or 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 period November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007.
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 table 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 the 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 table 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 the 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 actual expenses shown in the table, reflect fee waivers in effect for Class A and Class R shares. The expenses shown in the table assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware REIT Fund
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
The Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio (the “Delaware REIT Fund” or, the “Fund”) is a series of Delaware Pooled Trust (the “Trust”), which is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is considered non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Institutional Class and The Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75%. Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more will incur a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% 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 B shares are sold with a CDSC that declines from 4% to zero depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately eight years after purchase. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1%, if redeemed during the first 12 months. Class R, Institutional Class and The Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. This report contains information relating only to the Delaware REIT Fund. All other Delaware Pooled Trust portfolios are included in a separate report.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum long-term total return, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. It seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry.
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Fund.
Security Valuation — Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities 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 does not trade, then the mean between the bid and asked prices will be used. Short-term debt securities having less than 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities lending collateral is valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. 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 Fund’s Board of Trustees. 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 with respect to foreign securities, aftermarket trading or significant events after local market trading (e.g., government actions or pronouncements, trading volume or volatility on markets, exchanges among dealers, or news events).
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (Statement 157). Statement 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Statement 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 157 to have an impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the 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 would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund net asset value calculations as late as the fund’s net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will incorporate FIN 48 in its semiannual report on April 30, 2008. Although the Fund’s tax positions are currently being evaluated, management does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
Class Accounting — Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.
Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may invest in a pooled cash account along with members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Fund’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.
Other — Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management

Notes to financial statements
Delaware REIT Fund
fees and some 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. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts are recorded as dividend income on ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer. The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from net realized gains on investments, if any, annually.
Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Such commission rebates are included in realized gain on investments in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $224 for the six months ended April 30, 2007. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement accorded the order, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction.
The Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in custodian fees on the Statement of Operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.”
2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
In accordance with the terms of its investment management agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily at the rate of 0.75% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund, 0.70% on the next $500 million, 0.65% on the next $1.5 billion and 0.60% on average daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion.
Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides accounting, administration, dividend disbursing and transfer agent services. The Fund pays DSC a monthly fee computed at the annual rate of 0.04% of such Fund’s average daily net assets for accounting and administration services. The Fund pays DSC a monthly fee based on the number of shareholder accounts for dividend disbursing and transfer agent services.
Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, the Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual distribution and service fee not to exceed 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and C shares and 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares. DDLP has contracted to limit distribution and service fees through February 29, 2008 in order to prevent distribution and service fees of Class A and Class R shares from exceeding 0.25% and 0.50%, respectively, of average daily net assets. Institutional Class and the Real Estate Investment Trust Portfolio Class shares pay no distribution and service expenses.
At April 30, 2007, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:
Investment management fee payable to DMC | | $ | 273,475 | |
Dividend disbursing, transfer agent, accounting and administration fees and other expenses payable to DSC | | 91,683 | |
Distribution fee payable to DDLP | | 158,095 | |
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates* | | 43,601 | |
* DMC, as part of its administrative services, pays operating expenses on behalf of the Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic basis. Such expenses include items such as printing of shareholder reports, fees for audit, legal and tax services, registration fees and trustees’ fees.
As provided in the investment management agreement, the Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to the Fund by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund was charged $10,839 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, DDLP earned $45,115 for commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions of $7, $45,279 and $589 on redemption of the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, and these commissions were entirely used to offset up-front commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker-dealers on sales of those shares.
Trustees’ fees and benefits include expenses accrued by the Fund for each Trustee’s retainer, per meeting fees and retirement benefits. Independent Trustees with over five years of uninterrupted service were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for the payment of benefits upon retirement. The amount of the retirement benefit was determined based on factors set forth in the plan, including the number of years of service. On November 16, 2006, the Board of Trustees of the Fund unanimously voted to terminate the retirement plan. Payments equal to the net present value of the earned benefits were made in 2007 to those independent trustees so entitled. The retirement benefit payout for the Fund was $52,910.
Certain officers of DMC, DSC and DDLP are officers and/or trustees of the Trust. These officers and trustees are paid no compensation by the Fund.
3. Investments
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund made purchases of $167,882,474 and sales of $192,759,476 of investment securities other than short-term investments.
At April 30, 2007, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At April 30, 2007, the cost of investments was $436,662,158. At April 30, 2007, the net unrealized appreciation was $86,591,248, of which $89,295,206 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $2,703,958 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information
Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the six months ended April 30, 2007 and the year ended October 31, 2006 was as follows:
| | Six Months Ended 4/30/07* | | Year Ended 10/31/06 | |
| | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 9,668,172 | | $ | 9,498,269 | |
Long-term capital gain | | 107,675,477 | | 64,203,982 | |
Total | | $ | 117,343,649 | | $ | 73,702,251 | |
* Tax information for the period ended April 30, 2007 is an estimate and the tax character of dividends and distributions may be redesignated at fiscal year end.
5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis
The components of net assets are estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. As of April 30, 2007, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
Shares of beneficial interest | | $ | 299,473,025 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | 21,343,685 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | 36,722,410 | |
Unrealized appreciation of investments | | 86,591,248 | |
Net assets | | $ | 444,130,368 | |
The undistributed earnings for the Delaware REIT Fund are estimated pending final notification of the tax character of distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts.
The difference between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferred losses on wash sales.
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of dividends and distributions. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund recorded an estimate of these differences since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end.
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | $ | (1,049,984 | ) |
Undistributed net investment income | | 1,049,984 | |

The respective amounts are included in Class B redemptions and Class A subscriptions in the table above and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
7. Line of Credit
The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds (the “Participants”), participates in a $225,000,000 revolving line of credit facility to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee, which is allocated across the Participants on the basis of each Participant’s allocation of the entire facility. The Participants may borrow up to a maximum of one third of their net assets under the agreement. The Fund had no amounts outstanding as of April 30, 2007, or at any time during the period then ended.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware REIT Fund
8. Securities Lending
The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase. Initial security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required to be secured by U.S. government obligations and/or cash collateral not less than 102% of the value of the securities issued in the United States. With respect to each loan, if the aggregate value of the collateral held on any business day is less than the aggregate value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is invested in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top two tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. However, 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 on the securities loaned and is subject to change 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. The security lending agent and the borrower retain a portion of the earnings from the collateral investments. The Fund records security lending income net of such allocation.
At April 30, 2007, the value of securities on loan was $73,409,616, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the Statement of Net Assets under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”
9. Credit and Market Risk
The Fund concentrates its investments in the real estate industry and is subject to some of the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. The Fund is also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the real estate investment trusts it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations. Its investments may also tend to fluctuate more in value than a portfolio that invests in a broader range of industries.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the 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, the Fund’s Board of Trustees has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. At April 30, 2007, there were no Rule 144A securities and no securities have been determined to be illiquid under the Fund’s Liquidity Procedures
10. Contractual Obligations
The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
11. Subsequent Event
Termination of New Purchases of Class B Shares
As of the close of business on May 31, 2007, each Fund in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds no longer accepts new or subsequent investments in Class B shares of the funds, other than a reinvestment of dividends or capital gains or permitted exchanges. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to hold their Class B shares, reinvest dividends into Class B shares, and exchange their Class B shares of one Fund for Class B shares of another Fund, as permitted by existing exchange privileges. Existing Class B shareholders wishing to make subsequent purchases in a Fund’s shares will be permitted to invest in other classes of the Fund, subject to that class’ pricing structure and eligibility requirements, if any.
For Class B shares outstanding as of May 31, 2007 and Class B shares acquired upon reinvestment of dividends or capital gains, all Class B share attributes, including the CDSC schedules, conversion to Class A schedule, and distribution and service (12b-1) fees, will continue in their current form. However, as of the close of business on May 31, 2007, reinvestment of redeemed shares with respect to Class B shares (which, as described in the prospectus, permits you to reinvest within 12 months of selling your shares and have any CDSC you paid on such shares credited back to your account) has been discontinued. In addition, because a Fund’s or its distributor’s ability to assess certain sales charges and fees is dependent on the sale of new shares, the termination of new purchases of Class B shares could ultimately lead to the elimination and/or reduction of such sales charges and fees. A Fund may not be able to provide shareholders with advance notice of the reduction in these sales charges and fees. You will be notified via a Prospectus Supplement if there are any changes to any attributes, sales charges, or fees.
