**Market review**

Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022 was notable not just for its human tragedy; it also marked the most substantial use of unconventional economic weapons in response to the conventional weapons of modern warfare. As such, the war in Ukraine had significant economic ramifications, not the least of which was global inflation that climbed to a multidecade high before the year ended.

The war created severe disruptions in the production of Ukrainian agricultural and other commodities. Combined with the economic sanctions imposed on Russia, significant disruptions to global supply chains resulted. Energy and food markets, already confronting shortages and soaring prices stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, were pressured further.

Central banks around the world attempted to control inflation, which was fueled by supply shortages combined with resilient consumer demand. In particular, Europe felt the brunt of

rising energy prices because of its heavy reliance on imports from Russia, complicating the mission of the European Central Bank.

Generally during periods of heightened geopolitical risk and increasing volatility, central banks slow or reverse the pace of interest rate hikes, but this past year was an exception as inflation remained well above their target. The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates and stopped quantitative easing, abandoning the tools that it had previously used to stimulate the economy.

The abrupt rise in interest rates – the US federal funds rate increased from near zero to a range of 4.25% to 4.5% by year end – took a bite out of the interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the economy. Housing felt the burden of higher mortgage rates after enjoying significant appreciation during the pandemic.

Political unrest in China, especially that related to restrictions imposed to control the spread of COVID-19, also contributed to global economic problems. Throughout much of the year, China maintained its aggressive lockdowns of major cities. The zero-COVID policy contributed to ongoing supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressure. In December, China abruptly eased its

[Table of contents](#toc)

Portfolio management review

restrictions, opening the door to a potential surge in demand. That could pose new challenges to central banks early in 2023 as they attempt to bring inflation down to acceptable levels.

The US dollar maintained strength for most of the year while the euro declined below parity with the dollar. The war in Ukraine and central banks' aggressive anti-inflationary monetary policies combined to cause idiosyncratic stressors to bubble to the surface. For example, an acute financial crisis in the UK related to pension plans led the Bank of England to intervene to stabilize the country's interest rates even though it had been raising rates to fight inflation.

Against this highly volatile backdrop, credit markets behaved reasonably well in 2022, albeit while sustaining broad losses due largely to the move higher in interest rates. However, higher yields were viewed as an opportunity for many fixed income investors and may have provided important technical support at a time when centrals banks across most of the developed world were in the midst of raising short-term rates.

**Within the Fund**

For its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index. The Fund's Institutional Class shares fell 4.12%. The Fund's Class A shares declined 4.26% at net asset value and declined 6.85% at maximum offer price (both returns reflect all distributions reinvested). For the same period, the Fund's benchmark fell 3.69%.

Complete annualized performance for Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund is shown in the table on page 5.

Investors widely expected that the Fed would be active throughout most of the fiscal year. That expectation became reality at the end of March when the Fed began raising rates. Investors then shifted focus to just how much tightening the Fed would do.

In managing the portfolio, we try to provide rather than take liquidity. Liquidity enables us to take advantage of periods of uncertainty. It provides us with the investment flexibility to take advantage of market opportunities as they arise.

We entered 2022 with an overweight to investment grade corporate credit, which detracted from performance. That was in large part because of the Fund's overweight to BBB-rated credit, which underperformed. We were attracted to the higher income provided by BBB-rated bonds. Yield opportunities in shorter-term securities moved materially higher. Meanwhile, we maintained our overweight to investment grade corporate credit.

Some key drivers that weighed on performance within investment grade corporate credit included **Avolon Holdings Ltd.**, which leases commercial jet aircraft. Avolon had disappointing financial results, and we exited that credit. However, we have maintained exposure to the industry, as we remain constructive on its economic fundamentals.

Another detractor from relative performance was **Credit Suisse Group AG** senior unsecured bonds, which we continue to hold. Despite negative performance in 2022, Credit Suisse announced last year that it was executing a new strategic plan, and we are optimistic on the organization's forward-looking guidance.

We also had a modest exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which

[Table of contents](#toc)

detracted from performance based on the mortgage market's sensitivity to the uncertainties associated with rising interest rates. The rising interest rate environment added to volatility within the MBS market, but we believe that relative to investment grade corporate credit, MBS looks reasonably attractive, and we maintain exposure there.

Yield curve management also detracted from performance. We generally maintained greater interest rate sensitivity in the portfolio than the overall benchmark. Historically, that has helped to counter some of the portfolio's credit risk. In a normal-functioning fixed income market, as credit spreads widen, yields typically fall, providing a natural offset. However, that was not true in 2022. So, a slight overweight to duration was enough to detract modestly from Fund performance.

Out-of-benchmark exposure to asset-backed securities (ABS) detracted as well but was diversified across multiple subsectors including lease and equipment, floor planning, and high-quality auto segments.

Contributors to the Fund's relative performance included an underweight to government-related non-corporate issuers as their performance generated negative excess returns. Conversely, our allocation to high yield bonds outperformed the benchmark return. That came from positive security selection, including exposure to senior secure bonds issued by lower-rated insurance broker **USI Inc.** We remain comfortable owning the bond as we see a favorable insurance-rate environment continuing into the new year.

We also benefited from good security selection in emerging markets relative to the index. This included exposure to higher-quality names within that space. One was a modest allocation to **Banco de Credito e Inversiones SA**, a Chilean banking company. With

commodity prices rising throughout 2022, some exposure to **First Quantum Minerals Ltd**. benefited performance. Although First Quantum is Canada-based, it operates globally including extensive operations in Latin America and Africa. We continue to own both emerging market securities.

**Key risks and opportunities**

Monetary policy in the US remains one of the largest uncertainties as we embark on a new year. Markets continue to price in a lower terminal rate (peak interest rate) than the Fed. That indicates that the Fed is likely to tighten more than investors expect. That divergence will be resolved one way or the other and will be determined largely by the trajectory of inflation, which remains well above the Fed's 2% target rate. The discrepancy in expectations between investors and the Fed suggests there will likely be more market volatility in the coming months.

We expect credit spreads to widen because of that uncertainty. We could also see a shallow recession in late 2023 or early 2024. However, if we are wrong, the risk most likely would be skewed to the downside – a potentially deeper or longer recession.

We are watching for signs that economic slowing could be occurring more quickly than expected. We believe this would increase the risk of a policy mistake by the Fed, further adding to volatility.

We believe that fixed income still offers attractive yields, which should provide a positive factor as investors look at break-even levels and attractiveness relative to other asset classes. Effectively, a yield of 5% or 6% now on a fixed income fund compared with 1% or 2% in January 2022 could provide a buffer if yield spreads materially widen. Now, you'd have to see interest rates move materially higher before that 6% yield disappears.

Accordingly, this reduces the likelihood of negative returns in fixed income assets today compared with 2022.

The Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund used derivatives, including interest rate futures and high yield credit default swaps (CDX), to tactically gain access to the high yield asset class. Derivatives detracted from performance more than 50 basis points.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer's ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt. This includes prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity at the time when interest rates are lower than what the bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

Interest payments on inflation-indexed debt securities will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.

High yielding, non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds. The high yield secondary market is particularly susceptible to liquidity problems when institutional investors, such as mutual funds and certain other financial institutions, temporarily stop buying bonds for regulatory, financial, or other reasons. In addition, a less liquid secondary

market makes it more difficult to obtain precise valuations of the high yield securities.

The Fund may invest in derivatives, which may involve additional expenses and are subject to risk, including the risk that an underlying security or securities index moves in the opposite direction from what the portfolio manager anticipated. A derivatives transaction depends upon the counterparties' ability to fulfill their contractual obligations.

International investments entail risks including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability. Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in established foreign markets due to increased volatility, lower trading volume, and higher risk of market closures. In many emerging markets, there is substantially less publicly available information and the available information may be incomplete or misleading. Legal claims are generally more difficult to pursue.

If and when the Fund invests in forward foreign currency contracts or uses other investments to hedge against currency risks, the Fund will be subject to special risks, including counterparty risk.

Diversification may not protect against market risk.

IBOR risk is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) or similar rates (such as EONIA) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference these rates. The abandonment of these rates and transition to alternative rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference them and could affect investment strategy performance.

The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and

could negatively impact the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund's investments.

Disclosure of Fund expenses

For the six-month period from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

**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 expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

\*"Expenses Paid During Period" are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

<sup>†</sup>Because actual returns reflect only the most recent six-month period, the returns shown may differ significantly from fiscal year returns.

In addition to the Fund's expenses reflected above, the Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of any investment companies (Underlying Funds) in which it invests. The table above does not reflect the expenses of any Underlying Funds.

Financial highlights

Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund Class A

Selected data for each share of the Fund outstanding throughout each period were as follows:

---

| |
|:---|
| **Net asset value, beginning of period** |

| Net investment income<sup>1</sup> |
| Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) |
| Total from investment operations |
| **Less dividends and distributions from:** |
| Net investment income |
| Return of capital |
| Total dividends and distributions |
| **Net asset value, end of period** |
| **Total return<sup>3</sup>** |
| **Ratios and supplemental data:** |
| Net assets, end of period (000 omitted) |
| Ratio of expenses to average net assets<sup>4</sup> |
| Ratio of expenses to average net assets prior to fees waived<sup>4</sup> |
| Ratio of net investment income to average net assets |
| Ratio of net investment income to average net assets prior to fees waived |
| Portfolio turnover |

---

<sup>1</sup> Calculated using average shares outstanding.

<sup>2</sup> Amount is less than $(0.005) per share.

<sup>3</sup> Total return is based on the change in net asset value of a share during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions at net asset value and does not reflect the impact of a sales charge. Total return during the period reflects waivers by the manager and/or distributor. Performance would have been lower had the waivers not been in effect.

<sup>4</sup> Expense ratios do not include expenses of any investment companies in which the Fund invests.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund December 31, 2022

Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Limited-Term Government Funds (Trust) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers three series: Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund. These financial statements pertain to Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund (Fund). The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and offers Class A, Class C, Class R, Institutional Class, and Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares purchased prior to July 1, 2020, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (Limited CDSC) of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first year after your purchase and 0.50% if you redeem these shares within the second year; or for shares purchased on or after July 1, 2020, you will have to pay a Limited CDSC of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first 18 months 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. Class R, Institutional Class, and Class R6 shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Class R6 shares do not pay any service fees, sub-accounting fees, and/or sub-transfer agency fees to any brokers, dealers, or other financial intermediaries.

**1. Significant Accounting Policies**

The 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 Fund.

**Security Valuation** — Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If, on a particular day, an equity security or ETF does not trade, the mean between the bid and the ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Debt securities and credit default swap (CDS) contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker/counterparty and reviewed by management. 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. US government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and the ask prices, which approximates fair value. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as

[Table of contents](#toc)

security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment, other than ETFs, companies are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), commercial mortgage securities, and US government agency mortgage securities, pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as broker/dealer-supplied prices. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades, and values of the underlying reference instruments. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and the ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's valuation designee, Delaware Management Company (DMC). Subject to the oversight of the Fund's Board of Trustees (Board), 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 and Foreign Income Taxes** — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the 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. The Fund evaluates 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 are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the Fund's federal income tax returns through the year ended December 31, 2022, and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2019–December 31, 2021), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. In regard to foreign taxes only, the Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries in which it invests that may date back to the inception of the Fund. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in "Other" on the "Statement of operations." During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

**Class Accounting** — Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of "settled shares" of each class in relation to the net assets of the Fund. 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

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund

**1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

to a specific class are charged directly to that class. Class R6 shares will not be allocated any expenses related to service fees, sub-accounting fees, and/or sub-transfer agency fees paid to brokers, dealers, or other financial intermediaries.

**To Be Announced Trades (TBA) —** The Fund may contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (examples: when issued, delayed delivery, forward commitment, or TBA transactions) consistent with the Fund's ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered or the transaction is completed; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.

**Foreign Currency Transactions** — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund's prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into US dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the US dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally bifurcates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. That portion of gains (losses), attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, is included on the "Statement of operations" under "Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies." For foreign equity securities, the realized gains and losses are included on the "Statement of operations" under "Net realized gain (loss) on investments." The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

**Derivative Financial Instruments** - The Fund may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other assets without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage and involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the instrument. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, among other things, the Fund must either use derivative financial instruments with embedded leverage in a limited manner or comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value-at-risk. The Fund's successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser's ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be

[Table of contents](#toc)

assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Fund's investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

**Segregation and Collateralizations** - In certain cases, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third-party broker-dealers, the Fund may deliver or receive collateral in connection with certain investments (e.g., futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, securities with extended settlement periods, and swaps). Certain countries require that cash reserves be held while investing in companies incorporated in that country. These cash reserves and cash collateral that has been pledged/received to cover obligations of the Fund under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately on the "Statement of assets and liabilities" as cash collateral due to/from broker. Securities collateral pledged for the same purpose, if any, is noted on the "Schedule of investments."

**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 the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup> (Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such fund on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Income and capital gain distributions from any Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. The Fund may pay foreign capital gains taxes on certain foreign securities held, which are reported as components of realized losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary loss for federal income tax purposes. The 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, annually. The Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund

**1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

The 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 "Statement 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 investment management agreement, the Fund pays DMC, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the rates of 0.50% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund, 0.475% on the next $500 million, 0.45% on the next $1.5 billion, and 0.425% on average daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion.

DMC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or pay/reimburse expenses (excluding any distribution and service (12b-1) fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, short sale dividend and interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and non-routine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations), in order to prevent total annual fund operating expenses from exceeding 0.39% of the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class R, and Institutional Class average daily net assets and 0.32% of the Fund's Class R6 shares average daily net assets from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.\* For purposes of these waivers and reimbursements, non-routine expenses may also include such additional costs and expenses, as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Board and DMC. These waivers and reimbursements apply only to expenses paid directly by the Fund and may only be terminated by agreement of DMC and the Fund. The waivers and reimbursements are accrued daily and received monthly.

DMC may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited, Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG, and Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (together, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisors"). DMC may also permit these Affiliated Sub-Advisors to execute Fund security trades on its behalf and exercise investment discretion for securities in certain markets where DMC believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Sub-Advisor's specialized market knowledge. Although the Affiliated Sub-Advisors serve as sub-advisors, DMC has ultimate responsibility for all investment advisory services. For these services, DMC, not the Fund, pays each Affiliated Sub-Advisor a portion of its investment management fee.

Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administrative oversight services to the Fund. For these services, DIFSC's fees are calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the aggregate daily net assets of all funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rates: 0.00475% of the first

$35 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; 0.0025% of the next $45 billion; and 0.0015% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $90 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Delaware Funds pays a minimum of $4,000, which, in aggregate, is subtracted from the Total Fee. Each fund then pays its portion of the remainder of the Total Fee on a relative NAV basis. This amount is included on the "Statement of operations" under "Accounting and administration expenses." For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund paid $33,498 for these services.

DIFSC is also the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of the Fund. For these services, DIFSC's fees are calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the aggregate daily net assets of the retail funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rates: 0.014% of the first $20 billion; 0.011% of the next $5 billion; 0.007% of the next $5 billion; 0.004% of the next $20 billion; 0.002% of the next $25 billion; and 0.0015% of average daily net assets in excess of $75 billion. The fees payable to DIFSC under the shareholder services agreement described above are allocated among all retail funds in the Delaware Funds on a relative NAV basis. This amount is included on the "Statement of operations" under "Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses." For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund paid $57,589 for these services. 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 Fund. Sub-transfer agency fees are paid by the Fund and are also included on the "Statement of operations" under "Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses." The fees that are calculated daily and paid as invoices are received on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, the Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25%, 1.00%, and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class C, and Class R shares, respectively. The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. DDLP has contractually agreed to waive Class A shares' 12b-1 fee to 0.15% of average daily net assets from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.\* The waiver is calculated daily and received monthly. Institutional Class and Class R6 shares do not pay 12b-1 fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, the 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 Fund. This amount is included on the "Statement of operations" under "Legal fees." For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund paid $10,778 for internal legal and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates' employees.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, DDLP earned $3,972 for commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares. For the year ended December 31, 2022, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions of $1,132 on redemptions of the Fund's Class C shares, and these commissions were entirely used to offset upfront commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares.

**2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)**

Trustees' fees include expenses accrued by the Fund for each Trustee's retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC, DIFSC, and DDLP are officers and/or Trustees of the Trust. These officers and Trustees are paid no compensation by the Fund.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses of the Fund, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of any Underlying Funds including ETFs in which it invests. The amount of these fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary based upon the expense and fee levels of any Underlying Funds and the number of shares that are owned of any Underlying Funds at different times.

\*The aggregate contractual waiver period covering this report is from April 29, 2022 through April 29, 2023.

**3. Investments**

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Purchases other than US government securities | $112094817 |
| Purchases of US government securities | 370473127 |
| Sales other than US government securities | 126790138 |
| Sales of US government securities | 382336850 |

The tax cost of investments and derivatives includes adjustments to net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) which may not necessarily be the final tax cost basis adjustments but which approximate the tax basis unrealized gains and losses that may be realized and distributed to shareholders. At December 31, 2022, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives for federal income tax purposes for the Fund were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Cost of investments and derivatives | $449915747 |
| Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments and derivatives | $841036 |
| Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments and derivatives | (20973371) |
| Net unrealized depreciation of investments and derivatives | $(20132335) |

---

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that the 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

[Table of contents](#toc)

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. The Fund's investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 - | Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts) |
| Level 2 - | Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities) |
| Level 3 - | Significant unobservable inputs, including the 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. The 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 table summarizes the valuation of the Fund's investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of December 31, 2022:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Level 1 | Level 2 | Total |
| <u>Securities</u> |  |  |  |

<sup>1</sup> Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument at the year end.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 investments. The Fund's policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 investments based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting year.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the year in relation to the Fund's net assets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no Level 3 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 US GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net gains 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 tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Year ended | Year ended |
|  | 12/31/22 | 12/31/21 |
| Ordinary income | $11051529 | $8163047 |
| Return of capital |  | 36942 |
| Total | $11051529 | $8199989 |

[Table of contents](#toc)

**5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis**

As of December 31, 2022, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Shares of beneficial interest | $536761727 |
| Undistributed ordinary income | 514142 |
| Distributions payable | (124745) |
| Capital loss carryforwards | (85848946) |
| Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, foreign currencies and derivatives | (20524226 |
| Net assets | $430777952 |

---

\* A portion of the Fund's capital loss carryforward is subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.

Differences between components of net assets unrealized and tax cost unrealized may arise due to certain foreign currency transactions, foreign capital gains taxes, and amortization of callable bond premiums in accordance with ASU 2017-08.

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, tax deferral on straddle losses, mark-to-market of futures contracts, tax treatment of swap contracts, 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. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund had no reclassifications.

The Fund has capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Loss carryforward character | Loss carryforward character |  |
| Short-term | Long-term | Total |
| $22547726 | $63301220 | $85848946 |

**7. Reorganization**

On May 27, 2021, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize Delaware Limited Duration Bond Fund, a series of Delaware Group® Equity Funds IV (the "Acquired Fund") with and into Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), (the "Reorganization"). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"): (i) all of the property, assets, and goodwill of the Acquired Fund were acquired by the Acquiring Fund, and (ii) the Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, assumed the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. In accordance with the Plan, the Acquired Fund liquidated and dissolved following the Reorganization. The purpose of the transaction was to allow shareholders of the Acquired Fund to own shares of a Fund with a similar investment objective and style as, and potentially lower net expenses than the Acquired Fund. The Reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on September 17, 2021. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The share transactions associated with the Reorganization are as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Acquired <br> Funds <br> Net Assets | Acquired <br> Fund Shares <br> Outstanding | Shares <br> Converted <br> to Acquiring <br> Fund | Acquiring <br> Fund <br> Net Assets | Conversion <br> Ratio |
|  | Delaware Limited Duration <br> Bond Fund | Delaware Limited Duration <br> Bond Fund | Delaware Limited-Term<br> Diversified Income Fund | Delaware Limited-Term<br> Diversified Income Fund | |
| Class A | $135168861 | 14497661 | 16187888 | $139412276 | 1.1166 |
| Institutional |  |  |  |  |  |
| Class | 5634030 | 602541 | 675543 | 236217556 | 1.1212 |
| Class R6 | 132707 | 14167 | 15912 | 4372466 | 1.1232 |

---

The net assets of the Acquiring Fund before the Reorganization were $391,466,063. The net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately following the Reorganization were $532,401,661.

Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on January 1, 2021, the Acquiring Fund's pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, would have been as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Net investment income | $7215398 |
| Net realized gain on investments | 787093 |
| Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | (10012395) |
| Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations | $(2009904) |

---

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 the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund's Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was consummated on September 17, 2021.

**8. Line of Credit**

The 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 31, 2022.

On October 31, 2022, the Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the Agreement for a $355,000,000 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 30, 2023.

The Fund had no amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2022, or at any time during the year then ended.

**9. Derivatives**

US GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity's results of operations and financial position.

**Futures Contracts** — A futures contract is an agreement in which the writer (or seller) of the contract agrees to deliver to the buyer an amount of cash or securities equal to a specific dollar amount times the difference between the value of a specific security or index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the agreement is made. The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge its existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in interest rates or market conditions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or pledges US 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 are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund 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. Risks 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. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk

[Table of contents](#toc)

to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. At December 31, 2022, the Fund posted $394,350 in cash as collateral for open futures contracts, which is included in "Cash collateral due from brokers" on the "Statement of assets and liabilities".

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund entered into futures contracts to hedge the Fund's existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in interest rates or market conditions.

**Swap Contracts** — The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund 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. The Fund will not be permitted to enter into any swap transactions unless, at the time of entering into such transactions, the unsecured long-term debt of the actual counterparty, combined with any credit enhancements, is rated at least BBB- by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P) or Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) or is determined to be of equivalent credit quality by DMC.

*Credit Default Swaps.* A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (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 Fund 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 reference security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded daily as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement. Initial margin and variation margin are posted to central counterparties for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by the applicable central counterparty. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund did not enter into any CDS contracts as a seller of protection.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, and

**9. Derivatives (continued)**

credit risk. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty. No CDS contracts were outstanding at December 31, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund used CDS contracts to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

*Swaps Generally.* For centrally cleared swaps, 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 are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund 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. The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the contract on a given day. Risks of entering into these contracts 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 movement 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 "Schedule of investments."

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Series experienced unrealized gains or losses attributable to futures holdings, which are disclosed on the "Statement of assets and liabilities".

The effect of derivative instruments on the "Statement of operations" for the year ended December 31, 2022 was as follows:

**10. Securities Lending**

The 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

**10. Securities Lending (continued)**

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.

The 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund had no securities out on loan.

**11. Credit and Market Risk**

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been detected globally. This coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. 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. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

Investments in equity securities in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests will cause the NAV of the Fund to fluctuate.

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.

[Table of contents](#toc)

IBOR is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rate (collectively, IBORs) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference LIBOR (or the corresponding IBOR). The abandonment of LIBOR could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference LIBOR. The use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy performance. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs, such as the euro overnight index average (EONIA), which are also the subject of recent reform.

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country's balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the major securities markets in the US. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund 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 Fund.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by S&P and Baa3 by Moody's, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 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 Fund invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are CMOs. CMOs are debt securities issued by US 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 Fund's yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund

**11. Credit and Market Risk (continued)**

The 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. The Fund will not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.

The Fund invests in bank loans and other securities that may subject it to direct indebtedness risk, the risk that the Fund will not receive payment of principal, interest, and other amounts due in connection with these investments and will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. Loans that are fully secured offer the Fund more protection than unsecured loans in the event of nonpayment of scheduled interest or principal, although there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the corporate borrower's obligation, or that the collateral can be liquidated. Some loans or claims may be in default at the time of purchase. Certain of the loans and the other direct indebtedness acquired by the Fund may involve revolving credit facilities or other standby financing commitments that obligate the Fund to pay additional cash on a certain date or on demand. These commitments may require the Fund to increase its investment in a company at a time when the Fund might not otherwise decide to do so (including at a time when the company's financial condition makes it unlikely that such amounts will be repaid). To the extent that the Fund is committed to advance additional funds, it will at all times hold and maintain cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet such commitments. When a loan agreement is purchased, the Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, the Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a loan agreement. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a loan agreement by the borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent, and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid.

As the Fund may be required to rely upon another lending institution to collect and pass on to the Fund amounts payable with respect to the loan and to enforce the Fund's rights under the loan and other direct indebtedness, an insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the lending institution may delay or prevent the Fund from receiving such amounts. The highly leveraged nature of many loans may make them especially vulnerable to adverse changes in economic or market conditions. Investments in such loans and other direct indebtedness may involve additional risk to the Fund.

The 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 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 Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day

[Table of contents](#toc)

functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the 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 the Fund's 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the "Schedule of investments."

**12. 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.

**13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. On December 21, 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06 to defer the sunset date of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848 until December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Management is currently evaluating ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2022-06, but does not believe there will be a material impact.

**14. Subsequent Events**

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2022, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund's financial statements.

**Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 9-11, 2022**

At a meeting held on August 9-11, 2022 (the "Annual Contract Renewal Meeting"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board"), including a majority of Trustees each of whom is not an "interested person" as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Independent Trustees"), approved the renewal of the Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund (the "Fund") Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company ("DMC"); and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited ("MIMGL"), Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG ("MIMAK"), and Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited ("MIMEL" and together with MIMGL and MIMAK, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers").

Prior to the Meeting, including at a Board meeting held in May 2022, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of DMC about these matters. Also, the Board was assisted by the applicable Investment Committee, with each Investment Committee assisting the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.

In providing information to the Board, DMC was guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board's annual contract renewal process earlier in 2022. In considering and approving the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific

[Table of contents](#toc)

Other Fund information (Unaudited)

Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund

**Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 9-11, 2022 (continued)**

information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with DMC about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of DMC at each of its quarterly meetings, which included information about, among other things, Fund performance, investment strategies, and expenses. In addition, the Investment Committees confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. In considering information relating to the approval of the Fund's Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees also received information from an independent fund consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC ("JDL").

The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.

After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements for a one-year term. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approval.

**Nature, extent, and quality of services.** The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by DMC under its Investment Management Agreement, and the experience of the officers and employees of DMC who provide these services, including the Fund's portfolio managers. The Board's review included consideration of DMC's investment process and oversight and research and analysis capabilities, and its ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals. The Board considered information regarding DMC's programs for risk management, including investment, operational, liquidity, valuation, and compliance risks. The Board received information with respect to the cybersecurity program and business continuity plans of DMC and its affiliates. The Board also considered non-advisory services that DMC and its affiliates provide to the Delaware Funds, including third party oversight, transfer agent, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading, and legal and compliance. The Board took into account the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of a family of funds managed by an affiliate of Macquarie Group Ltd. ("Macquarie"), the parent company of DMC, and the resources available to DMC as part of Macquarie's global asset management business.

The Board received and considered various information with respect to the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board considered the division of responsibilities between DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the oversight provided by DMC. The Board considered the expertise of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to certain asset classes and/or investment styles. The Affiliated Sub-Advisers are part of Macquarie's global investment platform that has offices and personnel that are located around the world. As a result, the Board noted that DMC had stated that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research, investment and trading analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make

[Table of contents](#toc)

recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades, as applicable. The Board took into account that the Sub-Advisory Agreements may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting DMC to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.

The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund by DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.

**Investment performance.** The Board received and considered information with respect to the investment performance of the Fund, including performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at meetings of the Board's Investment Committees throughout the year as well as reports provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, an independent investment company data provider ("Broadridge"), furnished for the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for the Fund showed its investment performance in comparison to a group of similar funds (the "Performance Universe"). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the funds in the Performance Universe. Comparative annualized performance for the Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year or since inception periods, as applicable, ended December 31, 2021.

The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional short-intermediate investment-grade debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-year period was in the first quartile, for the 3-, and 5-year periods was in the third quartile, and for the 10-year period was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-year period was above the median and for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was below the median of its Performance Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. The Board, however, noted that the investment performance of the current portfolio management team only began as of September 2020. The Board noted the explanations from DMC concerning the reasons for the Fund's relative performance versus the Performance Universe and its benchmark for the various periods.

**Comparative expenses.** The Board received and considered expense data for the Fund. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also considered on the comparative analysis of contractual management fees and actual total expense ratios of the Fund versus contractual management fees and actual total expense ratios of a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the "Expense Group"). In reviewing comparative costs, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers, with the Fund's expense universe, which is comprised of the Fund, its Expense Group and all other similar institutional funds, excluding outliers (the "Expense Universe"). The Fund's total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Universe. The Broadridge total expenses, for comparative consistency, were shown by Broadridge for Institutional Class shares and comparative total expenses including 12b-1 and non-12b-1 service fees.

**Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 9-11, 2022 (continued)**

The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were below its Expense Group average.

The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by DMC to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing registered investment companies compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients, unregistered funds and separately managed accounts.

The Board noted that DMC, and not the Fund, pays the sub-advisory fees to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and, accordingly, that the retention of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers does not increase the fees and expenses incurred by the Fund.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to DMC under the Investment Management Agreement and to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

**Economies of scale.** The Board received and considered information about the potential for DMC to realize economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual Fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders, including the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. DMC discussed its advisory fee pricing and structure for the Delaware Funds complex, including the current breakpoints. The Board noted that, as of March 31, 2022, the Fund's net assets exceeded its first breakpoint level and that breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints schedule are exceeded. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as DMC's investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

**Management profitability.** The Board received and considered the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC's business in providing management and other services to the Fund and the Delaware Funds as a whole, including the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. The Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding DMC's profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees discussed DMC's profitability in such context with representatives from JDL. Based on its review, the Board determined that DMC's profitability was not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

[Table of contents](#toc)

**Ancillary benefits.** The Board received and considered information regarding the extent to which DMC and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as investment manager to the Delaware Funds; the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies; and the fees that various affiliates received for serving as transfer agent and for overseeing fund accounting and financial administration services to the Delaware Funds. The Board received information from DMC regarding its view of the performance of its affiliates in providing transfer agent and fund accounting and financial administration oversight services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services pursuant to their contracts with the Fund.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the ongoing commitment of DMC and its affiliates to the Fund, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by DMC and its affiliates were unreasonable.

**Conclusion.** Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of DMC's Investment Management Agreement and of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' Sub-Advisory Agreements for an additional one-year period.

**Form N-PORT and proxy voting information**

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. The Fund's Form N-PORT, as well as a description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies (if any) relating to portfolio securities, is available without charge (i) upon request, by calling 800 523-1918; and (ii) on the SEC's website at sec.gov. In addition, a description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies (if any) relating to portfolio securities and the Schedule of Investments included in the Fund's most recent Form N-PORT are available without charge on the Fund's website at delawarefunds.com/literature.

Information (if any) regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recently disclosed 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge (i) through the Fund's website at delawarefunds.com/proxy; and (ii) on the SEC's website at sec.gov.

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum

Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup>

A mutual fund is governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors ("Trustees"), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund's business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place. The following is a list of the Trustees and Officers with certain background and related information.

Portfolio management review

Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup> tax-exempt funds

**Investment objectives**

Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund seeks a high level of interest income that is exempt from both federal and state income tax for individual residents of the state of New Jersey.

Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund seeks a high level of interest income that is exempt from both federal and state income tax for individual residents of the state of Oregon.

**Economic backdrop**

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, inflation in the US was a major concern for policymakers and investors. Higher energy costs, worsened by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, and disruptions in the supply chain primarily drove the rise in prices. In June, the US Consumer Price Index peaked at an annual increase of 9.1%, the fastest rise in more than 40 years. However, this trend reversed during the second half of the year. By December, the CPI had dropped to an annual increase of 6.5% – still historically high but the lowest increase in more than a year, as interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve appeared to be having their desired impact.

As the Fed grew more concerned about inflation, the US central bank took aggressive action by raising short-term interest rates. Throughout the year, the Fed increased rates frequently and rapidly, raising the federal funds rate on seven separate occasions, taking it from effectively zero to 4.50% by the end of 2022. Although the Fed was initially expected to continue raising rates in 2023, most analysts believed the rate-hiking cycle was approaching a close as concerns of a potential recession grew.

Amid rising inflation and interest rates, the US economy began the fiscal year on a downturn. In the first half of 2022, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of

national economic output – decreased by an annualized -1.6% and -0.6%, in the first and second quarter, respectively. However, in the third quarter (the latest quarter for which data was available), US GDP grew by 3.2%, driven by strong exports and consumer spending.

Despite the challenging economic conditions, the US job market remained robust throughout the year. The unemployment rate began 2022 at a historically low 4.0%, a significant improvement from the pandemic peak of 14.7% in April 2020. By the end of the fiscal year, the rate stood at 3.5%, matching a 50-year low.

**Municipal bond market conditions**

In what was a generally challenging environment for fixed income investors, the municipal bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, returned -8.53% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

For most of the year, an unfavorable technical backdrop hurt the municipal bond market. Despite generally healthy credit quality among municipal issuers, rising interest rates, and concerns that higher inflation would lead to even more rate hikes by the Fed led to significant outflows from municipal bond funds, causing a decrease in bond values. However, toward the end of the Funds' fiscal year, as investors' concerns about inflation eased and the possibility of the Fed ending its rate-hike cycle grew, outflows from the municipal bond market slowed and demand for municipal securities increased. This helped the market recover some of the value it had lost earlier in the year.

In this market environment, a clear pattern emerged, where bonds with longer durations

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

(meaning more sensitive to changes in interest rates) underperformed those with shorter durations, as investors worried about interest rate risk. Additionally, bonds with lower credit ratings were more likely to lag their higher-rated counterparts during the fiscal year.

The following tables show municipal bond returns by maturity length and by credit quality for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

<u>Returns by credit rating</u>

**Economic backdrop in the states**

**New Jersey's** realized revenues for the first six months of fiscal year 2023 totaled $18.7 billion, which is 3.2% higher than the same period for the prior fiscal year. Gross income tax totaled $7.4 billion, which is 6.8% higher than fiscal year 2022's gross income tax revenues; sales tax totaled $5.3 billion, which is 7.0% higher than fiscal year 2022's sales tax revenues; and corporate business tax revenue totaled $2.4 billion, which is 2.3% higher than fiscal year 2022's corporate business tax revenue. New Jersey's November 2022 preliminary unemployment rate of 3.4% was below the national unemployment rate of 3.7% and showed improvement from New Jersey's November 2021 unemployment rate of 5.1%.

(Sources: njleg.state.nj.us/budget-finance/ols-revenue-snapshot, bls.gov)

**Oregon's** current 2021-2023 biennium December 2022 forecast was revised upward from the September 2022 forecast and from the initial 2021 forecast. Gross general fund revenues are expected to reach $28.3 billion, which is a 1.5% increase from the September 2022 forecast and a 21.3% increase from the initial 2021 forecast. Based on the December 2022 forecast, personal income tax revenues are expected to total $23.9 billion, which is 0.4% higher than the September 2022 forecast; corporate income tax revenues are expected to total $2.6 billion, which is 8.1% higher than the September 2022 forecast, and all other revenues are expected to total $1.7 billion, which is 6.5% higher than the September 2022 forecast. Oregon's November 2022 preliminary unemployment rate of 4.4% was above the national unemployment rate of 3.7% and showed weakening from Oregon's November 2021 unemployment rate of 4.2%.

**Maintaining our management approach**

For the two Funds discussed in this report, we maintained a consistent management approach, as we do regardless of the market environment. We employ a bottom-up investment strategy, relying on deep credit research to select municipal securities on an issuer-by-issuer basis. Our strategy emphasizes tax-exempt bonds that offer what we believe is a favorable balance between risk and return potential for the Funds' shareholders.

We are highly confident in our team's credit research capabilities. Thus, we prioritize lower-rated, higher-yielding bonds with strong credit fundamentals when searching for new investments to add to the Funds' portfolios.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Portfolio management review

Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup> tax-exempt funds

We believe these types of securities provide us greater opportunity to add value for the Funds' shareholders.

As of the end of the fiscal year on December 31, 2022, roughly 30.9% of the assets of **Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund** was invested in bonds with lower-investment-grade credit ratings (rated A and BBB). Approximately 19.0% of the net assets of **Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund** was invested in bonds from these same credit tiers. Because the Oregon municipal marketplace tends to feature substantial high-quality issuance, it can sometimes be difficult to find lower-quality bonds that meet our stringent credit standards. In those cases, we stay on the lookout for attractive new opportunities to add to the portfolio while remaining selective about the bonds we ultimately do purchase.

As of December 31, 2022, both Funds maintained allocations to non-rated bonds. Whenever we invest in non-rated bonds or securities rated below-investment-grade, we thoroughly analyze the securities' credit risk and emphasize those issues we believe offer the Funds' shareholders a favorable risk-reward balance. At the end of this fiscal year, **Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund** had an allocation of 8.8% to non-rated debt, while 11.4% of **Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund's** net assets were in non-rated bonds.

**Pursuing scarce opportunities**

As market conditions weakened throughout most of 2022, municipal bond mutual funds across the industry, including both **Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund** and **Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund**, experienced net shareholder redemptions. At various times, then, we had to sell bonds to generate proceeds to fund these investment outflows.

We sold bonds in a very deliberate way so that we could maintain our desired positioning for the Funds. When possible, we sold higher-coupon bonds or bonds with shorter call dates, which allowed us to maintain sufficient duration in the portfolio and seek to position the Funds to benefit from an eventual market recovery. In other words, we sought to hold onto as many securities as possible that we believed would offer attractive long-term total-return prospects once market conditions begin to heal.

Given the municipal bond market's struggles in 2022, we periodically took advantage of the opportunity to engage in tax-loss swaps. With this strategy, we exchanged lower-yielding bonds for higher-yielding ones, often in the higher-quality segments of the marketplace, where we tended to find better value. With these swaps, we were able to obtain better yields for the Funds at a comparable amount of risk, while also generating tax losses that we will be able to apply against capital gains in the future.

The combination of net shareholder outflows throughout much of the fiscal year and a relatively limited supply of lower-rated municipal issuance in New Jersey and particularly Oregon meant we were not especially active purchasers of new bonds during the fiscal year. When we did have proceeds available to invest during the fiscal year, we evaluated new purchase opportunities case by case. Our new purchases tended to focus on creditworthy bonds that were relative underperformers during the market downturn, as we believed these would be better positioned to rebound once market conditions improve.

**Individual performance effects**

As we discussed, longer-duration bonds generally underperformed shorter-duration

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

bonds for the fiscal year, while higher-rated issues tended to outpace their lower-quality counterparts. Accordingly, many of the Funds' strongest and weakest performers over the 12-month period reflected these performance trends. Notably, given how weak market conditions were, even the Funds' leading individual performers produced modestly negative returns.

In **Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund,** the weakest-performing securities were bonds issued by the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority and zero-coupon issues of New Jersey Transit Corporation. These securities, which returned -32% and -24%, respectively, for the Fund for the fiscal year, were hurt by their lower-investment-grade credit ratings and relatively long durations. In contrast, the Fund's strongest-performing holdings over the 12 months were highly rated general obligation

parking revenue bonds for the Township of Montclair and pre-refunded bonds for the Bergen County Improvement Authority, which benefited from their short duration. Both issues returned -2% for the Fund for the fiscal year.

In **Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund,** the weakest-performing securities were general obligation bonds for the City of Boardman (-32%), whose relatively high degree of interest rate sensitivity hampered results, while a long duration and lower-investment-grade credit rating weighed on higher education bonds for Willamette University (-24%). In contrast, the Fund's strongest performers included multifamily bonds for Home Forward (0%), an administrator of housing programs, and Washington County School District Bonds for Forest Grove (-1%). In both cases, the bonds outperformed due to their shorter maturities and relatively high credit quality.

\*Total return for the report period presented in the table differs from the return in "Financial highlights." The total return presented in the above table is calculated based on the net asset value (NAV) at which shareholder transactions were processed. The total return presented in "Financial highlights" is calculated in the same manner but also takes into account certain adjustments that are necessary under US generally accepted accounting principles required in the annual report.

<sup>1</sup>Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions and are presented both with and without the applicable sales charges described below. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the "Fund and benchmark performance" table. Expenses for each class are listed on the "Fund expense ratios" table

on page 7. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect.

The Fund adopted the performance of the First Investors New Jersey Tax Exempt Fund (Predecessor Fund) as the result of a reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on October 4, 2019 (Reorganization). The Fund had not yet commenced operations prior to the Reorganization. The returns shown for periods ending on or prior to October 4, 2019 reflect the performance and expenses of the Predecessor Fund. The returns shown for periods after October 4, 2019 reflect the performance and expenses of the Fund.

Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service (12b-1) fee.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%, and have an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

assets. Performance of the predecessor fund contained a 4.00% sales charge. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer's ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt. This includes prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

Funds that invest primarily in one state may be more susceptible to the economic, regulatory, regional, and other factors of that state than geographically diversified funds.

Substantially all dividend income derived from tax-free funds is exempt from federal income tax. Some income may be subject to state or

local and/or the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund's potential volatility.

IBOR risk is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) or similar rates (such as EONIA) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference these rates. The abandonment of these rates and transition to alternative rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference them and could affect investment strategy performance.

The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund's investments.

<sup>2</sup>The Fund's expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following "Fund expense ratios" table. The expense ratios below may differ from the expense ratios in the "Financial highlights" since they are based on different time periods and the expense ratios in the prospectus include acquired fund fees and expenses, if any.

Disclosure of Fund expenses

For the six-month period from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

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 July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

**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 the 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 ratios 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. <br>

<sup>1</sup> On October 4, 2019, Class A shares of First Investors New Jersey Tax Exempt Fund were reorganized into Class A shares of Delaware Tax–Free New Jersey Fund. The Class A shares' financial highlights for the periods prior to October 4, 2019, reflect the performance of First Investors New Jersey Tax Exempt Fund Class A shares.

<sup>2</sup> Calculated using average shares outstanding.

<sup>3</sup> Total return is based on the change in net asset value of a share during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions at net asset value and does not reflect the impact of a sales charge. Total return during the period reflects waivers by the manager and/or distributor. Performance would have been lower had the waivers not been in effect.

<sup>4</sup> The Fund's portfolio turnover rate increased substantially during the year ended December 31, 2019 due to a change in the Fund's portfolio managers and associated repositioning.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup>tax-exempt funds December 31, 2022

Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Limited-Term Government Funds (Trust) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers three series: Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund (each a Fund, or collectively, the Funds). Delaware Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund is included in a separate report. Each Fund 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 and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. 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) or a predecessor distributor paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares of the Funds purchased prior to July 1, 2020, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (Limited CDSC) of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first year after your purchase and 0.50% if you redeem these shares within the second year; or if DDLP paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $250,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares purchased on or after July 1, 2020, you will have to pay a Limited CDSC of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first 18 months after your purchase; unless a specific waiver of the Limited CDSC applies. 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** — Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. 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 the Funds' valuation designee, Delaware Management Company (DMC). Subject to the oversight of the Funds' Board of Trustees (Board), 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 <br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax positions taken or expected to be taken on each Fund's federal income tax returns through the year ended December 31, 2022, and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2019–December 31, 2021), 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 year ended December 31, 2022, 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<sup>®</sup> (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 the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. 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, 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 <br>

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund's investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 – | Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts) |
| Level 2 – | Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, |

prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund's own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund's investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of December 31, 2022:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | Delaware Tax–Free New Jersey Fund |
|  | Level 2 |
| <u>Securities</u> |  |
| <u>Assets:</u> |  |
| Municipal Bonds | $22623392 |
| Total Value of Securities | $22623392 |

| <u>Assets:</u> |  |
| Municipal Bonds | $42404313 |
| Short-Term Investments | 500000 |
| Total Value of Securities | $42904313 |

---

During the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 year.

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 year in relation to each Fund's net assets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no Level 3 investments. <br>

**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 US GAAP. Additionally, distributions from 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Tax-exempt<br> income | Ordinary<br> income | Long-term<br> capital<br> gains | Total |
| <u>Year ended December 31, 2022:</u> |  |  |  |  |
| Delaware Tax–Free New Jersey Fund | $710952 | $14516 | $16799 | $742267 |
| Delaware Tax–Free Oregon Fund | 1101604 | 20111 |  | 1121715 |

**5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis**

As of December 31, 2022, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Delaware Tax–Free<br> New Jersey Fund | Delaware Tax–Free<br> Oregon Fund |
| Shares of beneficial interest | $23321603 | $45746523 |
| Undistributed tax-exempt income |  | 173 |
| Distributions payable | (808) |  |
| Capital loss carryforwards | (44749) | (955215) |
| Net unrealized depreciation of investments and foreign currencies | (628393) | (1134064) |
| Net assets | $22647653 | $43657417 |

---

Differences between components of net assets unrealized and tax cost unrealized may arise due to certain amortization of callable bond premiums in accordance with ASU 2017-08.

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales and tax treatment of discount and premium on debt instruments.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Funds had no reclassifications. <br>

**7. 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, <br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

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 31, 2022.

On October 31, 2022, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the Agreement for a $355,000,000 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 30, 2023.

Each Fund had no amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2022, or at any time during the year then ended.

**8. Securities Lending**

Each Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (1) 102% with respect to US securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in US dollars; and (2) 105% with respect to foreign securities. With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day, which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower, BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security on any particular day, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. The collateral percentage with respect to the market value of the loaned security is determined by the security lending agent.

Cash collateral received by each fund of the Trust is generally invested in a series of individual separate accounts, each corresponding to a fund. The investment guidelines permit each separate account to hold certain securities that would be considered eligible securities for a money market fund. Cash collateral received is generally invested in government securities; certain obligations issued by government sponsored enterprises; repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasury securities; obligations issued by the central government of any Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country or its agencies, instrumentalities, or establishments; obligations of supranational organizations; commercial paper, notes, bonds, and other debt obligations; certificates of deposit, time deposits, and other <br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup> tax-exempt funds

**8. Securities Lending (continued)**

bank obligations; certain money market funds; and asset-backed securities. Each Fund can also accept US government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans.

In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to each Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. Each Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to changes in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Each Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, each Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among each Fund, the security lending agent, and the borrower. Each Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

Each Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral. This could occur if an investment in each collateral investment account defaulted or became impaired. Under those circumstances, the value of each Fund's cash collateral account may be less than the amount each Fund would be required to return to the borrowers of the securities and each Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, each Fund had no securities out on loan.

**9. Credit and Market Risks**

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been detected globally. This coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. 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. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty. <br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

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.

IBOR is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rate (collectively, IBORs) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference LIBOR (or the corresponding IBOR). The abandonment of LIBOR could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference LIBOR. The use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy performance. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs, such as the euro overnight index average (EONIA), which are also the subject of recent reform.

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by each corresponding state's municipalities. The Funds invest primarily in a specific state 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 states or US 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.

Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield municipal fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P), lower than Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 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.

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 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 <br>

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup> tax-exempt funds

**9. Credit and Market Risks (continued)**

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. In an 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, the 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."

**10. 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.

**11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial <br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. On December 21, 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06 to defer the sunset date of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848 until December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Management is currently evaluating ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2022-06, but does not believe there will be a material impact.

**12. Subsequent Events**

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2022, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds' financial statements. <br>

Report of independent <br> registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Limited-Term Government Funds and Shareholders of Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund

**Opinions on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund (two of the series constituting Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Limited-Term Government Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2022 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 26, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

**Basis for Opinions**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

**Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 9-11, 2022**

At a meeting held on August 9-11, 2022 (the "Annual Contract Renewal Meeting"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board"), including a majority of Trustees each of whom is not an "interested person" as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Independent Trustees"), approved the renewal of the Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund (each, a "Fund" and together, the "Funds") Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company ("DMC").

Prior to the Meeting, including at a Board meeting held in May 2022, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of DMC about these matters. Also, the Board was assisted by the applicable Investment Committee, with each Investment Committee assisting the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of <br>

**Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 9-11, 2022 (continued)**

the Investment Management Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.

In providing information to the Board, DMC was guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board's annual contract renewal process earlier in 2022. In considering and approving the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with DMC about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of DMC at each of its quarterly meetings, which included information about, among other things, Fund performance, investment strategies, and expenses. In addition, the Investment Committees confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. In considering information relating to the approval of the Funds' Investment Management Agreement, the Independent Trustees also received information from an independent fund consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC ("JDL").

The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.

After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement for a one-year term. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approval.

**Nature, extent, and quality of services.** The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services provided to the Funds by DMC under its Investment Management Agreement and the experience of the officers and employees of DMC who provide these services, including each Fund's portfolio managers. The Board's review included consideration of DMC's investment process and oversight and research and analysis capabilities, and its ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals. The Board considered information regarding DMC's programs for risk management, including investment, operational, liquidity, valuation, and compliance risks. The Board received information with respect to the cybersecurity program and business continuity plans of DMC and its affiliates. The Board also considered non-advisory services that DMC and its affiliates provide to the Delaware Funds, including third party oversight, transfer agent, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading, and legal and compliance. The Board took into account the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of a family of funds managed by an affiliate of Macquarie Group Ltd. ("Macquarie"), the parent company of DMC, and the resources available to DMC as part of Macquarie's global asset management business.

The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Funds by DMC.

**Investment performance.** The Board received and considered information with respect to the investment performance of the Funds, including performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at meetings of the Board's Investment Committees throughout the year as well as reports provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, an independent investment company <br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

data provider ("Broadridge"), furnished for the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for each Fund showed its investment performance in comparison to a group of similar funds (the "Performance Universe"). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the funds in the Performance Universe. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year or since inception periods, as applicable, ended December 31, 2021.

*Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund* – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional New Jersey municipal debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1- and 3-year periods was in the first quartile and for the 5-and 10-year periods was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1- and 3-year periods was above the median and for the 5- and 10-year periods was below the median of its Performance Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year periods and slightly underperformed its benchmark index for the 5- and 10-year periods. The Board, however, noted that the investment performance of the current portfolio management team only began as of October 2019. The Board noted that the Fund was generally performing in line with its Performance Universe and its benchmark during the periods under review.

*Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund* – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional "other states" municipal debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods was in the first quartile and for the 10-year period was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe.

The Board, however, noted that the investment performance of the current portfolio management team only began as of October 2019. The Board noted that the Fund was generally performing in line with its Performance Universe during the periods under review.

**Comparative expenses.** The Board received and considered expense data for the Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for each Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also considered on the comparative analysis of contractual management fees and actual total expense ratios of each Fund versus contractual management fees and actual total expense ratios of a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the "Expense Group"). In reviewing comparative costs, each Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred each Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds were similar in size to each Fund) and actual management fees, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers, with a Fund's expense universe, which is comprised of the Fund, its Expense Group and all other similar institutional funds, excluding outliers (the "Expense Universe"). Each Fund's total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Universe. The Broadridge total expenses, for comparative consistency, were shown by Broadridge for Institutional Class shares and comparative total expenses including 12b-1 and non-12b-1 service fees. <br>

**Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 9-11, 2022 (continued)**

*Delaware Tax-Free New Jersey Fund* **–** The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average.

*Delaware Tax-Free Oregon Fund* – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average.

The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by DMC to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing registered investment companies compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients, unregistered funds and separately managed accounts.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to DMC under the Investment Management Agreement was reasonable.

**Economies of scale.** The Board received and considered information about the potential for DMC to realize economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual Fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders, including the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. DMC discussed its advisory fee pricing and structure for the Delaware Funds complex, including the current breakpoints. The Board noted that each Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as DMC's investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

**Management profitability.** The Board received and considered the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC's business in providing management and other services to each Fund and the Delaware Funds as a whole, including the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. The Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding DMC's profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees discussed DMC's profitability in such context with representatives from JDL. Based on its review, the Board determined that DMC's profitability was not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund.

**Ancillary benefits.** The Board received and considered information regarding the extent to which DMC and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as investment manager to the Delaware Funds; the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies; and the fees that various affiliates received for serving as transfer agent and for overseeing fund accounting and financial administration services to the Delaware Funds. The Board received information from DMC regarding its view of the <br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

performance of its affiliates in providing transfer agent and fund accounting and financial administration oversight services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services pursuant to their contracts with the Funds.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Funds and the ongoing commitment of DMC and its affiliates to the Funds, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by DMC and its affiliates were unreasonable.

**Conclusion.** Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of DMC's Investment Management Agreement for an additional one-year period.

**Form N-PORT and proxy voting information**

Each Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT.

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum

Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup>

A mutual fund is governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors ("Trustees"), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund's business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place. The following is a list of the Trustees and Officers with certain background and related information.
