#### DELAWARE POOLED TRUST

#### Macquarie Emerging Markets Portfolio (the "Portfolio")

#### Supplement to the Portfolio's Prospectus dated February 25, 2022

As previously communicated, on August 18, 2022, the Board of Trustees of Delaware Pooled Trust unanimously voted and approved a proposal to liquidate and dissolve the Portfolio. The liquidation and dissolution are now expected to take effect on or about February 16, 2023 ("Liquidation Date") and the proceeds (less mandatory tax withholding) will be provided to the address of record if no action is taken. Shortly before the Liquidation Date, the Portfolio may convert to cash and cash equivalent positions as a temporary defensive measure to preserve value. After the Portfolio is converted to cash, it may not achieve its investment objective. For Portfolio accounts with automated purchases, exchanges, and/or withdrawals established, these transactions will cease prior to liquidation if no action is taken.

The Portfolio is presently closed to new investors. However, the Portfolio will continue to accept purchases from existing shareholders (including reinvested dividends or capital gains) until five (5) business days before the Liquidation Date.

Until the Liquidation Date, shareholders of the Portfolios will have the opportunity to exchange their shares for Institutional class share of any other Delaware Funds by Macquarie<sup>®</sup> fund. Any exchange would be made at the current net asset values of the Portfolios and the selected Delaware Fund.

*Effective the date of this Supplement, the following is inserted before the first paragraph of the Portfolio's prospectus section entitled, "Portfolio summaries: Macquarie Emerging Markets Portfolio — Information about the purchase and redemption of Portfolio shares, taxes, and payments to intermediaries":*

The Portfolio is liquidating and is therefore closed to new investors. Existing shareholders of the Portfolio may continue to purchase shares until five (5) business days before February 16, 2023.

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 Portfolio.
