#### DELAWARE GROUP<sup>®</sup> EQUITY FUNDS IV

#### Delaware Total Return Fund

#### (the "Fund")

#### Supplement to the Fund's Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus (as amended) and

#### Statement of Additional Information (as amended), each dated January 30, 2023

On November 10, 2022, the Board of Trustees of Delaware Group Equity Funds IV approved the reorganization of the Fund (Reorganization) into and with a substantially similar fund and class of Delaware Wealth Builder Fund, a series of Delaware Group Equity Funds V. The Reorganization is now expected to take place on or about April 28, 2023 (Reorganization Date).

As noted in the supplement dated November 10, 2022 and the prospectus/information statement dated January 31, 2023, no contingent deferred sales charge will be assessed in connection with any redemption of shares of the Fund prior to the Reorganization.

Effective one week before the Reorganization Date, the Fund will close to new investors and existing shareholders.

Prior to the closing of the Reorganization, the Fund will distribute to its shareholders, in one or more distributions, all of its income and gains (net of available capital loss carryovers) not previously distributed for taxable years ending on or prior to the Reorganization Date.

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 the Fund or acting on a distribution check.
