#### DELAWARE GROUP EQUITY FUNDS V

#### Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund<br> (formerly, Delaware Wealth Builder Fund) (the "Fund")

#### Supplement to the Fund's Statutory Prospectus dated April 1, 2025, as amended

*Effective on or around July 31, 2025, the following replaces the information in the Fund's statutory prospectus section entitled "How we manage the Fund – Our principal investment strategies":*

#### Our principal investment strategies

In allocating assets, the Manager will apply a dedicated yield focus for existing asset classes, use systematic strategies to expand the investment universe and implement a systematic yield-enhancing security selection process.

The Fund invests primarily in income-generating securities (debt and equity), which may include equity securities of large, well-established companies, and debt securities, including high yield (junk) bonds, high-risk corporate bonds, investment grade fixed income securities, convertible securities, and US government securities.

Under normal circumstances, at least 50% of the Fund's total assets will be invested in income-generating equity securities, including REITs, convertible securities, and ETFs. While debt securities may comprise up to 50% of the Fund's total assets, no more than 45% of the Fund's total assets will be invested in high yield, high-risk debt securities. No more than 25% of the Fund's total assets will be invested in any one industry sector nor, as to 75% of the Fund's total assets, will more than 5% be invested in securities of any one issuer. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in foreign equity and debt securities. The Fund will not, however, invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities of issuers principally located or principally operating in markets of emerging countries. MIMAK and the Manager use a dynamic asset-allocation framework to determine the proportion of the Fund's assets that will be allocated to the various asset classes noted above, based on the market assessment and portfolio risk contribution for such asset classes. The framework is intended to reduce riskier assets in times of market volatility and provide additional downside protection.

It is expected that the proportion of the Fund's total assets invested in income-generating equity securities and equity equivalent securities (including derivatives and ETFs) will vary from 50% to 100% of the Fund's total assets. The proportion of the Fund's total assets in debt securities and debt equivalent securities (including derivatives and ETFs) will correspondingly vary from 0% to 50% of the Fund's total assets. In connection with their dynamic asset-allocation framework, MIMAK and the Manager will also manage a tactical / completion sleeve and such sleeve will typically vary from 0% to 20% of the Fund's total assets and primarily hold derivatives and ETFs.

Within this tactical / completion sleeve the Fund may invest in ETFs managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates ("Affiliated ETFs") and ETFs that are managed by unaffiliated investment advisers ("Unaffiliated ETFs"). In selecting underlying ETFs, the MIMAK and the Manager may select certain Affiliated ETFs, even if there may (or may not) be one or more Unaffiliated ETFs that investors might regard as equally or more attractive to the Fund.

The Fund may use a wide range of derivative instruments, typically including forward foreign currency contracts, options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and credit default swaps. The Fund will use derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes; as a substitute for purchasing or selling securities; and to manage the Fund's portfolio characteristics. For example, the Fund may invest in: futures and options to manage duration and for defensive purposes, such as to protect gains or hedge against potential losses in the portfolio without actually selling a security, or to stay fully invested; forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure; and credit default swaps to hedge against a credit event, to gain exposure to certain securities or markets, or to enhance total return.

------

At times, the Fund may invest in the Subsidiary, which is a wholly owned company acting as an investment vehicle for the Fund, in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund's investment objectives. The Fund's investment in the Subsidiary is expected to provide the Fund with exposure to certain investments in accordance with the limits of the federal tax laws.

In addition, MIMAK and the Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations relating to fixed income securities from their affiliates: MIMEL and MIMGL. The Manager may also permit MIMGL to execute Fund equity security trades on behalf of the Manager. The Manager may also permit MIMEL and MIMGL to exercise investment discretion and perform trading for fixed income securities, as applicable, in certain markets where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize MIMEL's or MIMGL's specialized market knowledge, and the Manager may also seek quantitative support from MIMGL. MIMGL is also responsible for managing real estate investment trust securities and other equity asset classes to which the portfolio managers may allocate assets from time to time.

The Fund's investment objectives are nonfundamental. This means that the Fund's Board of Trustees (Board) may change the objectives without obtaining shareholder approval. If the objectives were changed, the Fund would notify shareholders at least 60 days before the change became effective.

*Effective on or around July 31, 2025, the following replaces the information in the Fund's statutory prospectus section entitled "How we manage the Fund – The risks of investing in the Fund – Exchange-traded funds risk":*

**Exchange-traded funds risk**<br>

The risks of investing in securities of an ETF typically reflect the risks of the instruments in which the underlying ETF invests.

Because ETFs are listed on an exchange, ETFs may be subject to trading halts and may trade at a discount or premium to their NAV. In addition, ETFs are investment companies, and a fund will bear its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of an investment in an ETF. As a result, a fund's expenses may be higher and performance may be lower.

Because the Fund's Manager or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the Affiliated ETFs, the Fund's investments in Affiliated ETFs may benefit the Manager and/or its affiliates. In addition, it is possible that the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an Affiliated ETF. As a result, the Fund's investments in Affiliated ETFs may create a conflict of interest. In addition, the Manager's authority to allocate investments among Affiliated and Unaffiliated ETFs creates conflicts of interest. For example, investing in Affiliated ETFs could lead to increased assets under management or help support particular investment strategies or the Affiliated ETFs.

The in-kind redemption and purchase mechanism of ETFs used by market makers seeking to arbitrage away any differences in the market value as compared with net asset value generally keeps premium or discounts to a minimal level.

**How the Fund strives to manage it:** When investing in investment company securities, which include securities of ETFs, the Fund may rely on rules, regulations or no-action or exemptive relief under the 1940 Act to exceed the statutory limits imposed on such investments by the 1940 Act. The Manager maintains a well-diversified portfolio and attempts to minimize risks, where possible.

**Because everyone's tax situation is unique, you should consult your tax professional about federal, state, local, or foreign tax consequences before making an investment in a Fund or acting on a distribution check (if applicable).**

**Delaware Management Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited (MGL). None of the entities noted in this document is an authorized deposit-taking**
