Investments in the healthcare equipment and supplies industry underperformed versus the benchmark.

Holdings in the consumer discretionary sector underperformed over the period. The Fund's positions in the textiles, apparel, and luxury goods industry detracted from performance.

For more complete information, you may review the Fund's next prospectus, which we expect to be available by March 30, 2026, at nomuraassetmanagement.com/literature or upon request at 800 523-1918, weekdays from 8:30am to 6:00pm ET.

#### Changes in and disagreements with accountants
During the reporting period, there was a change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. On September 9, 2025, the Fund's Board of Trustees, upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund, effectively dismissing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. There were no disagreements with PwC during the Fund's two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025.

Nomura Wealth Builder Fund

*(formerly, Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund)*

**Class A : DDIAX**

Management's discussion of Fund performance

#### Performance highlights
Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (Class A) returned 8.93% (excluding sales charge) for the 12 months ended November 30, 2025. During the same period, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index and Bloomberg US Aggregate Index, the Fund's broad-based securities market indices, returned 15.00% and 5.70%, respectively, while the current blended benchmark\*, the Fund's narrowly based securities market index, returned 11.36%.

#### Top contributors to performance:
Global equities and fixed income generally rose during the fiscal year against relatively stabilizing inflation and continued rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and central banks globally.

Investment growth in artificial intelligence contributed significantly to US equity performance.

US equities with a quality and income style tilt contributed to Fund performance relative to the S&P 500 Index, driven by periods of US equity momentum broadening.

An overweight to US corporate bonds was a key contributor to Fund performance. Both high yield and investment grade corporates outperformed longer-duration US government bonds that comprise a material portion of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index.

#### Top detractors from performance:
US large-cap value stocks underperformed the S&P 500 Index, detracting from Fund performance relative to pure

index exposure.

Although all other equity and fixed income sleeves performed positively, exposure to US real estate investment trusts at the beginning of the reporting period detracted from performance.

Some US market indices, such as the S&P 500 Index, at times exhibited high volatility during the reporting period due to changing global trade dynamics. US equity indices underperformed international equities broadly over the reporting period, negatively impacting the Fund's US-focused strategy relative to globally focused peers.

The portfolio's small allocation to money market funds also detracted.

\*The blended benchmark is computed using a combination of 60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Index.

#### Fund performance
The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the Class. It also assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first full fiscal year in multiple broad-based securities market indices and an additional narrowly based securities market index for the same period and the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge for Class A shares.

The Fund also added additional risk disclosure related to the Fund's investments in Affiliated ETFs.

Effective December 1, 2025, the Fund was renamed Nomura Wealth Builder Fund.

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund's total annual operating expenses for Class A increased from 0.79% to 1.08%.

Effective on or around July 31, 2025, the Fund revised its principal investment strategies to explain that within the Fund's tactical/completion sleeve, the Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) managed by the Fund's manager and/or its affiliates (Affiliated ETFs) and ETFs that are managed by unaffiliated investment advisers (Unaffiliated ETFs). The Fund also added additional risk disclosure related to the Fund's investments in Affiliated ETFs.

Effective December 1, 2025, the Fund was renamed Nomura Wealth Builder Fund.

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund's total annual operating expenses for Class R increased from 1.04% to 1.33%.

This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period except as otherwise noted. For more complete information, you may review the Fund's next prospectus, which we expect to be available by March 30, 2026, at nomuraassetmanagement.com/literature or upon request at 800 523-1918, weekdays from 8:30am to 6:00pm ET.

#### Changes in and disagreements with accountants
During the reporting period, there was a change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. On September 9, 2025, the Fund's Board of Trustees, upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund, effectively dismissing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. There were no disagreements with PwC during the Fund's two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025.

Nomura Wealth Builder Fund

*(formerly, Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund)*

**Institutional Class : DDIIX**

#### Annual shareholder report \| November 30, 2025
This annual shareholder report contains important information about Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (Fund) for the period of December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025. You can find additional information about the Fund at nomuraassetmanagement.com/literature. You can also request this information by contacting us at 800 523-1918, weekdays from 8:30am to 6:00pm ET.

#### This report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period except as otherwise noted in the Material Fund changes section.

#### What were the Fund's costs for the last 12 months ?
*(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)*

Management's discussion of Fund performance

#### Performance highlights
Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (Institutional Class) returned 9.22% (excluding sales charge) for the 12 months ended November 30, 2025. During the same period, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index and Bloomberg US Aggregate Index, the Fund's broad-based securities market indices, returned 15.00% and 5.70%, respectively, while the current blended benchmark\*, the Fund's narrowly based securities market index, returned 11.36%.

#### Top contributors to performance:
Global equities and fixed income generally rose during the fiscal year against relatively stabilizing inflation and continued rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and central banks globally.

Investment growth in artificial intelligence contributed significantly to US equity performance.

US equities with a quality and income style tilt contributed to Fund performance relative to the S&P 500 Index, driven by periods of US equity momentum broadening.

An overweight to US corporate bonds was a key contributor to Fund performance. Both high yield and investment grade corporates outperformed longer-duration US government bonds that comprise a material portion of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index.

#### Top detractors from performance:
US large-cap value stocks underperformed the S&P 500 Index, detracting from Fund performance relative to pure

index exposure.

Although all other equity and fixed income sleeves performed positively, exposure to US real estate investment trusts at the beginning of the reporting period detracted from performance.

Some US market indices, such as the S&P 500 Index, at times exhibited high volatility during the reporting period due to changing global trade dynamics. US equity indices underperformed international equities broadly over the reporting period, negatively impacting the Fund's US-focused strategy relative to globally focused peers.

The portfolio's small allocation to money market funds also detracted.

\*The blended benchmark is computed using a combination of 60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Index.

#### Fund performance
The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the Class. It also assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first full fiscal year in multiple broad-based securities market indices and an additional narrowly based securities market index for the same period.

| <sup>φ</sup> | Financial highlights are not consolidated for the years indicated. |
| <sup>1</sup> | Calculated using average shares outstanding. |
| <sup>2</sup> | Amount includes non-recurring payments for litigation proceeds, which represents class action settlements received by the Fund. The litigation proceeds impact the realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share by $0.01 and total return by 0.07%. |
| <sup>3</sup> | Payment by affiliates and capital contributions by affiliates are less than $0.005 per share and 0.01% on total return. See Note 2 in "Notes to consolidated financial statements." |
| <sup>4</sup> | Amounts include the following non-recurring payments received by the Fund towards its payment of the tax liability recorded as of November 30, 2023: payment by affiliates, capital contributions by affiliates and payment by service provider. Excluding the impact of these payments, the total return would have been lower by 0.44%, the expense ratio would have been higher by 0.30% and the net investment income ratio would have been lower by 0.30%. See Note 1 and Note 2 in "Notes to consolidated financial statements." |
| <sup>5</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 presented reflects waivers by the manager and/or distributor (as applicable). Performance would have been lower had the waivers not been in effect. |
| <sup>6</sup> | Expense ratios do not include expenses of any investment companies in which the Fund invests. |
| <sup>7</sup> | Includes non-recurring expenses of 0.01% for the year ended November 30, 2025. |
| <sup>8</sup> | Includes current tax expense of 0.03% for the year ended November 30, 2025, which is derived from the realized and unrealized gains (losses). |
| <sup>9</sup> | The impact of the interest and tax penalties on the ratios of expenses to average net assets is 0.05% for the year ended November 30, 2024. |
| <sup>10</sup> | The impact of the tax expense on the ratios of expenses to average net assets is 0.81% and 0.18% for the years ended November 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. |

Notes to consolidated financial statements

Nomura Wealth Builder Fund November 30, 2025

Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Equity Funds V (Trust) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers three series: Nomura Small Cap Core Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Core Fund through November 30, 2025), Nomura Small Cap Value Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Value Fund through November 30, 2025), and Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (formerly, Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund through November 30, 2025). These consolidated financial statements and the related notes pertain to Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (Fund). The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), 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 5.75%. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $1 million or more of Class A shares, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (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.

**Basis of Consolidation — Chattanooga Opportunities LLC (the Subsidiary), a Delaware limited liability company, was incorporated as a wholly owned company acting as an investment vehicle for the Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments for the Fund consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies as specified in its prospectus and statement of additional information. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and its Subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The date of incorporation of the Subsidiary was June 3, 2024. As of November 30, 2025, the net assets held by the Subsidiary are $30,000, or approximately 0.004%, of the Fund's net assets.**

**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 (NYSE) 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**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__dbf21d86-c1f8-405e-bad4-e210335b222c_TOC)

approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). Fixed income securities and credit default swap (CDS) contracts are generally priced based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker/counterparty in accordance with methodologies included within Delaware Management Company (DMC)'s Pricing Policy (Policy). Fixed income security and CDS contracts valuations are then reviewed by DMC as part of its duties as the Fund's valuation designee (Valuation Designee) and, to the extent required by the Policy and applicable regulation, fair valued consistent with the Policy. 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 security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), commercial mortgage securities, and certain 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. An adjustment factor may be applied to the daily vendor provided price for certain security/instrument types to arrive at a fair value for the applicable positions. The adjustment factor is determined by comparing the prices of trades with vendor prices over a time period deemed reasonable by DMC, calculating the weighted average differences, and using that difference to adjust vendor 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. Forward 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 are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (Rule 2a-5). As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board of Trustees (Board) has designated DMC to perform the fair value determination relating to all applicable Fund investments. DMC has established a Pricing Committee to assist with its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee, and DMC may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through the Pricing Committee and other teams and committees, which operate under policies and procedures approved by the Board and subject to the Board's oversight. Fair value pricing may be used more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets. The Fund may use fair value pricing relatively frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets. If a foreign (non-US) equity security's value has materially changed after the close of the security's primary exchange or principal market but before the close of the NYSE, the security may be

valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-US) equity securities, the Fund may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by pricing vendors, which may recommend fair value or adjustments with reference to other securities, indexes or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Valuation Designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of US securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the close of the NYSE. The Valuation Designee may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-US securities.

**Federal and Foreign Income Taxes — 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 November 30, 2025, and for all open tax years (years ended November 30, 2022–November 30, 2024), and has concluded that except for the provision related to the consolidated subsidiary discussed below, no other provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's consolidated 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 and tax penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest and tax penalties" on the "Consolidated statement of operations." During the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.**

*Consolidated Subsidiary. The Fund holds an investment through a wholly-owned subsidiary (Subsidiary), which is subject to federal and state income taxes.*

This taxable entity is not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax assets or liabilities that reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes and tax loss carryforwards. There are no closed tax year ends for the Subsidiary. At year ending November 30, 2025, any estimated tax liability for this investment is presented as "Current tax liability" in the "Consolidated statement of assets and liabilities." The tax liability incurred may differ materially depending on conditions when the investment is disposed.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__dbf21d86-c1f8-405e-bad4-e210335b222c_TOC)

The difference between the statutory income tax rate, 21%, and the actual effective tax rate, as reported for the year ended November 30, 2025, is as follows:

#### Tax Expense/(Benefit):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total |
| Federal | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$(229940) |
| State | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; — |
| Valuation allowance | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; — |
| Total Tax Expense/(Benefit) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$(229940) |

---

The Subsidiary recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Subsidiary tax positions, and has concluded that a liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions of the Subsidiary as shown. The Subsidiary is not aware of any other tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

**Class Accounting — Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. 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.**

**Underlying Funds — The Fund may invest in other investment companies (Underlying Funds) to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest include ETFs. The Fund will indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds.**

**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. No TBA were outstanding at November 30, 2025.**

**Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 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 realized gains (losses), attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, is included on the "Consolidated statement of operations" under "Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies." For foreign equity securities, the realized gains and losses are included on the "Consolidated 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, forward 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 intends to 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.**

**Segregation and Collateralization — 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, forward 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. Cash collateral that has been pledged/received to cover obligations of the Fund under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately on the "Consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Nomura Funds (formerly, Macquarie Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__dbf21d86-c1f8-405e-bad4-e210335b222c_TOC)

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 an 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. 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. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, which are estimated, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings, a portion of which may be reclaimable. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends and interest have been recorded in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. The Fund files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Fund may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction's applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The "Consolidated statement of operations" includes tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes. The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income monthly and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, at least annually. The Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, with the intent of improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing consolidated financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for the reportable segment and the entity as a whole thereby enabling better understanding of how an entity's segments impact overall performance. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer act as the Fund's chief operating decision maker (CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment since the Fund has a single investment strategy disclosed in the prospectus against which the CODM assesses performance. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources, the CODM relies on the

Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the information contained in the Fund's consolidated financial statements. Adoption of the new standard impacted the Fund's consolidated financial statements note disclosures only, and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.

The Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the "Consolidated statement of operations" under "Custodian fees" with the corresponding expenses offset included under "Less expenses paid indirectly." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund earned $36,933 under this arrangement.

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 "Consolidated statement of operations" under "Dividend disbursing, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses" with the corresponding expenses offset included under "Less expenses paid indirectly." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund earned $5,227 under this arrangement.

During the year ended November 30, 2024, a third party service provider reimbursed the Fund $1,500,000 toward its tax liability payment. This amount is included on the "Consolidated statements of changes in net assets" under "Payment by service provider."

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 Nomura Investment Management Business Trust (NIMBT) and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the rates of 0.65% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund, 0.60% on the next $500 million, 0.55% on the next $1.5 billion, and 0.50% on average daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion. Prior to December 1, 2025, NIMBT was named Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (MIMBT).

DMC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fees 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 nonroutine 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 0.79% of the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class R, and Institutional Class shares' average daily net assets and 0.72% of the Fund's Class R6 shares' average daily net assets from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026. From December 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, DMC contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fees and/or pay/reimburse expenses in order to prevent total annual fund

operating expenses from exceeding 0.79% of the Fund's Class A, Class C, Class R, and Institutional Class shares' average daily net assets and 0.73% of the Fund's Class R6 shares' average daily net assets. These waivers and reimbursements may only be terminated by agreement of DMC and the Fund. The waivers and reimbursements are accrued daily and received monthly.

After consideration of class specific expenses, including 12b-1 fees (but excluding acquired fund fees and expenses), the class level operating expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets from December 1, 2024 (except as noted) through March 31, 2026, unless terminated by agreement of DMC and the Fund, is as follows:

---

\* Effective April 1, 2025. Prior to April 1, 2025, the amount for Class R6 shares was 0.73%.

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 Nomura Funds at the following annual rates: 0.0050% of the first $60 billion; 0.00475% of the next $30 billion; and 0.0015% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $90 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Nomura 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 "Consolidated statement of operations" under "Accounting and administration expenses." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $42,164 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 Nomura 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 Nomura Funds on a relative NAV basis. This amount is included on the "Consolidated statement of operations" under "Dividend disbursing, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $57,338 for these services. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYIS), BNYIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to the Fund. Sub-transfer agency fees are paid by the Fund and are also included on the "Consolidated statement of operations" under "Dividend disbursing, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses." The fees are calculated daily and paid as invoices on a monthly or quarterly basis.

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

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. 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. For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $138,471 for internal legal and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates' employees. This amount is included on the "Consolidated statement of operations" under "Legal fees."

For the year ended November 30, 2025, DDLP earned $31,346 for commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares. For the year ended November 30, 2025, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions of $122 and $454 on redemptions of the Fund's Class A and Class C shares, respectively, and these commissions were entirely used to offset upfront commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares.

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.

During the year ended November 30, 2024, DMC reimbursed the Fund $1,861,521 for tax liability payment and deferred tax expense estimate. An amount of $1,233,320 is included on the "Consolidated statements of changes in net assets" under "Payment by affiliates" and an amount of $628,201 under "Proceeds from shares sold."

On September 19, 2024, MIMBT (renamed NIMBT on December 1, 2025), of which DMC is a series, entered into a settlement agreement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) consenting to an order (Settlement Order) relating to a legacy investment strategy, the Absolute Return Mortgage-Backed Securities Strategy (ARMBS Strategy). MIMBT no longer offers the ARMBS Strategy. MIMBT agreed to the Settlement Order without admitting or denying the SEC's findings. The Settlement Order does not impact DMC's ability to continue to provide services to the Fund. In connection with the findings in the Settlement Order, MIMBT made a payment to the Fund on October 25, 2024, in the amount of $272,511. An amount of $213,936 is included on the "Consolidated statements of changes in net assets" under "Net increase from payment by affiliates" and an amount of $58,575 is under "Proceeds from shares sold."

As of December 1, 2025 (Closing Date), Nomura Holding America Inc. completed the acquisition of Macquarie Asset Management's US and European public investments business. The closing of this transaction resulted in the automatic termination of the Fund's investment advisory agreement with DMC, and any sub-advisory agreement, as applicable. At a special shareholder meeting held on September 30, 2025, Fund shareholders approved a new investment advisory agreement for the Fund. On the Closing Date, the new investment advisory agreement, any applicable sub-advisory agreement, and the Fund's name change to Nomura Wealth Builder Fund went effective.

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 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, forward 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 November 30, 2025:

---

Fair valued securities currently priced at zero on the "Schedule of investments" are excluded from the table above.

Level 3 securities with a total value of $6,072 on the "Schedule of investments", have been valued using third party pricing information without adjustment and are excluded from the table above.

When market quotations are not readily available for one or more portfolio securities, the Fund's NAV shall be calculated by using the "fair value" of the securities as determined by the Pricing Committee. Such "fair value" is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security (or asset) upon its current sale. Each such determination should be based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to: (i) the type of security, (ii) the size of the holding, (iii) the initial cost of the security, (iv) the existence of any contractual restrictions of the security's disposition, (v) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, (vi) quotations or evaluated prices from broker/dealers and/or pricing services, (vii) information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), (viii) an analysis of the company's financial statements, and (ix) an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

3. Investments (continued)

The Pricing Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches, including due diligence of the Fund's pricing vendors and periodic back-testing of the prices that are fair valued under these procedures and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all securities fair valued by the Pricing Committee is subsequently reported to and approved by the Board on a quarterly basis.

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 November 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Year ended | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Year ended |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11/30/25 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11/30/24\* |
| Ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$19945068 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$17467724 |
| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30239562 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14824679 |
| Total | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$50184630 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$32292403 |

---

\* In conjunction with the reorganization between the Delaware Strategic Allocation Fund and the Fund on March 10, 2023, the Delaware Strategic Allocation Fund inadvertently failed to distribute to its respective shareholders sufficient net capital gains for the taxable year ending on the reorganization date as required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to meet the distribution requirements under Subchapter M to maintain "RIC" status, the Fund paid a "deficiency dividend" as described in Section 860(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, in the amount of $4,071,525.

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of November 30, 2025, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Paid-in capital | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$651808555 |
| Undistributed ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19167738 |
| Undistributed long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21570568 |
| Other temporary differences | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2049170 |
| Unrealized appreciation of investments, foreign currencies, and derivatives | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;140555353 |
| Net assets | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$835151384 |

---

Differences between components of net assets unrealized and tax cost unrealized may arise due to unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency.

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddle losses, mark-to-market of futures

contracts, tax treatment of partnership income, REITs, swap contracts, and market discount and premium on debt instruments.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of underlying wholly owned subsidiary and non-deductible expenses. For the year ended November 30, 2025, the adjustments were to increase paid-in-capital and decrease total distributable earnings (loss) by $3,940,096.

6. Capital Shares

Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

7. Line of Credit

The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Nomura Funds (Participants), is a participant in a $335,000,000 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 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 Participants are permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant is 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 27, 2025. This Agreement was extended to October 26, 2026.

The Fund had no amounts outstanding as of November 30, 2025, or at any time during the year then ended.

8. 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.

**Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also enter into these contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the Fund may enter into these contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__dbf21d86-c1f8-405e-bad4-e210335b222c_TOC)

The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by 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. Open forward foreign currency exchange contracts, if any, are disclosed on the "Schedule of investments." No forward foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at November 30, 2025.

During the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies to decrease exposure to foreign currencies.

**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 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 to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. At November 30, 2025, the Fund posted $918,701 in cash as collateral for open futures contracts, which is included in "Cash collateral due from brokers" on the "Consolidated statement of assets and liabilities." Open futures contracts, if any, are disclosed on the "Schedule of investments."**

During the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund used futures contracts to hedge the Fund's existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in interest rates or market conditions.

8. Derivatives (continued)

**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. Swap contracts are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Fund and counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (OTC swaps). If the OTC swap entered is one of the swaps identified by a relevant regulator as a swap that is required to be cleared, then it will be cleared through a third party, known as a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (centrally cleared swaps).**

*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 November 30, 2025, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection, as a hedge against credit events. 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 November 30, 2025, 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 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. Open swap contracts, if any, are disclosed on the "Schedule of investments." No CDS contracts were outstanding at November 30, 2025.

During the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund entered into CDS contracts to hedge against credit events.

9. Securities Lending

The Fund, along with other funds in the Nomura Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY). 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 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

68&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__dbf21d86-c1f8-405e-bad4-e210335b222c_TOC)

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 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 November 30, 2025, the Fund had no securities out on loan.

10. Credit and Market Risks

Investments in securities are generally subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of 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. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. A Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated below investment grade (lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC and lower than Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization). High yield securities, commonly known as "junk bonds," are subject to reduced creditworthiness of issuers, increased risk of default, and a more limited and less liquid secondary market. High yield securities may also be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss of income and principal than are higher-rated securities. High yield

10. Credit and Market Risks (continued)

bonds are sometimes issued by municipalities that have less financial strength and therefore have less ability to make projected debt payments on the bonds.

The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, like other fixed income securities, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and may also be subject to prepayment risk and extension risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities can be highly sensitive to interest rate changes. As a result, small movements in interest rates can substantially impact the value and liquidity of these securities. Prepayment risk is the risk that the principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may be prepaid at any time, which will reduce the yield and market value of the securities and may cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Extension risk is the risk that principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities will be repaid more slowly than expected, which may reduce the proceeds available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities and may cause the security to experience greater volatility due to the extended maturity of the security. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities can be expected to decline. When interest rates go down, however, the value of these securities may not increase as much as other fixed income securities due to borrowers refinancing their loans at lower interest rates or prepaying their loans. In addition, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may decline in value, become more volatile, face difficulties in valuation, or experience reduced liquidity due to changes in general economic conditions. During periods of economic downturn, for example, underlying borrowers may not make timely payments on their loans and the value of property that secures the loans may decline in value such that it is worth less than the amount of the associated loans. If the collateral securing a mortgage-backed or asset-backed security is insufficient to repay the loan, the Fund could sustain a loss. Such risks generally will be heightened where a mortgage-backed or asset-backed security includes "subprime" loans. Although mortgage-backed securities are often supported by government guarantees or private insurance, there can be no guarantee that those obligations will be met. Furthermore, in certain economic conditions, loan servicers, loan originators and other participants in the market for mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities may be unable to receive sufficient funding, impairing their ability to perform their obligations on the loans. Certain mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may be more susceptible to these risks than other mortgage-backed, asset-backed, or fixed-income securities. For example, the Fund's investments in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs), and stripped mortgage-backed securities are generally highly susceptible to interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and extension risk. At times, these investments may be difficult to value and/or illiquid. Some classes of CMOs and REMICs may have preference in receiving principal or interest payments relative to more junior classes. The market prices and yields of these junior classes will generally be more volatile than more senior classes and will be more susceptible to interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and extension risk than more senior classes. Stripped mortgage-backed securities that receive only payments of interest (IOs) will generally decrease in value if interest rates decline or prepayment rates increase. Stripped mortgage-backed securities that receive

70&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__dbf21d86-c1f8-405e-bad4-e210335b222c_TOC)

only payments of principal (POs) will generally decrease in value if interest rates increase or prepayment rates decrease. These changes in value can be substantial and could cause the Fund to lose the entire value of its investment in CMOs, REMICs, and stripped mortgage-backed securities.

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 other high grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet such commitments. 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. There were no unfunded loan commitments at the year ended November 30, 2025.

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 the security.

When the Fund invests in REITs it will be subject to the risks associated with that industry. The Fund's REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations. The Fund also invests in real estate acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments, including issuers that invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein. These instruments may include interests in private equity limited partnerships or limited liability companies that hold real estate investments (Real Estate Limited Partnerships).

10. Credit and Market Risks (continued)

If the Fund holds real estate directly or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025.

The Fund may invest in ETFs managed by DMC and/or its affiliates (Affiliated ETFs) and ETFs that managed by unaffiliated investment advisers (Unaffiliated ETFs). The risks of investing in ETFs typically reflect the risks of the instruments in which the ETF invests, and because they are exchange listed they may be subject to trading halts, premiums and discounts. In addition, DMC and its affiliates may benefit from investing in Affiliated ETFs and DMC's ability to allocate investments among Affiliated and Unaffiliated ETFs creates conflicts of interest.

Investments in foreign securities (particularly those of issuers in emerging markets) may be adversely affected by political instability; changes in currency exchange rates; inefficient markets and higher transaction costs; foreign economic conditions; the imposition of economic or trade sanctions; or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards. As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, armed conflict between countries or armed conflict in a geographic region has the potential to adversely impact the Fund's investments. Such conflicts and other corresponding events could result in increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors or in markets for certain securities and commodities. Such conflicts also may result in a negative impact on the Fund's investments, even beyond any direct investment exposure a Fund may have to issuers located in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic region.

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 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.

Derivatives contracts, such as futures, forward foreign currency contracts, options, and swaps, may involve additional expenses (such as the payment of premiums) and are subject to significant loss, which may exceed amounts disclosed on the "Consolidated statement of assets and liabilities", if a security, index, reference rate, or other asset or market factor to which a derivatives contract is associated, moves in the opposite direction from what the portfolio manager anticipated. When used for hedging, the change in value of the derivatives instrument may also not correlate specifically with the currency, rate, or other risk being hedged, in which case a Fund may not realize the intended benefits. Derivatives contracts are also subject to the

risk that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations under the contract due to, among other reasons, financial difficulties (such as a bankruptcy or reorganization).

The Subsidiary is not registered, nor subject to the investor protections, under the 1940 Act, and does not benefit from all the investor protections that apply to 1940 Act-registered funds. Changes in applicable tax laws could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described herein, which could adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders.

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 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."

The Fund's prospectus includes information regarding the principal risks applicable to the Fund.

11. 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.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments under this ASU are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management expects that adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Fund's consolidated financial statements.

13. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2025, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund's consolidated financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Shareholders of Nomura Wealth Builder Fund and Board of Trustees of Delaware Group Equity Funds V

<u>Opinion on the Financial Statements</u>

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (formerly Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund, the "Fund"), a series of Delaware Group Equity Funds V, as of November 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets, and the consolidated financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2025, the results of its operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the years ended November 30, 2024, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 14, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

<u>Basis for Opinion</u>

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audit. 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 Fund 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 audit 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 audit 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 procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Delaware Management Company since 2025.

#### Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants for Open-End Management Investment Companies

#### Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
At a meeting held on September 9, 2025, the Board of Trustees (Board), upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) and approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. (Cohen & Co) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (formerly, Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund) (the "Fund") for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025.

PwC's reports on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except that the Fund restated its fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 financial statements to correct an error.

In addition, during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 and during the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025, (i) there were no disagreements between the Fund and PwC on accounting principles, financial statement disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events described in Item 304(a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except for the material weakness related to the Fund's failure to timely identify that it had failed the gross income test to enable the recording of the associated tax liability in the relevant fiscal year.

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 and during the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025, neither the Board nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Cohen & Co at any time prior to their selection with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund's financial statements; or (ii) the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a) (1) (iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a) (1) (v) of said Item 304.

The Fund has provided PwC with a copy of this Form N-CSR and requested that PwC furnish the Fund with a letter stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of PwC's letter, dated February 6, 2026, is attached as Exhibit 99 to this N-CSR.

#### Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract

#### Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 12-14, 2025
Nomura Holding America Inc. completed its acquisition of the equity interests of Macquarie Group Limited's U.S. and European public investments business effective December 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), which included Delaware Management Company ("DMC"), the Fund complex's investment adviser. Prior to the Closing Date, the Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") and the Funds' shareholders approved a new investment advisory agreement with DMC. This new agreement supersedes the Funds' prior investment advisory agreement with DMC that automatically terminated on the Closing Date. In addition, the Board of Trustees also approved new sub-advisory agreements for certain Funds. The reapproval described below relates to the continuation of DMC's prior investment advisory agreement and of the Funds' prior sub-advisor agreements, as applicable, from September 2025 until the Closing Date. Information about the Board of Trustees' consideration of the new investment advisory agreement with DMC is available in the Funds' proxy statement dated July 9, 2025.

At a meeting held on August 12-14, 2025 (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 Macquarie Wealth Builder 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") (together, the "Affiliated Sub-Advisers").

Prior to the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, including at a Board meeting held in May 2025, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of DMC about these matters. Also, the Board was assisted by the Equity Investments Committee and the Fixed Income Multi-Asset Sub-Advised Funds Investments Committee (each an "Investment

Committee" and together, the "Investment Committees"), with each Investment Committee assisting the full Board in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were also 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 2025. Prior to the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, and in response to the requests, the Board received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. 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 information presented in connection with the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting and the review process for the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, 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, including the Independent Trustees, 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 of the, 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 manager. The Board met with DMC's senior management and investment personnel. The Board reviewed the materials provided by the Fund's portfolio management team discussing its performance, investment strategies and outlook, as well as DMC with respect to comparing Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable. The Board's review included consideration of DMC's**

78&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__dbf21d86-c1f8-405e-bad4-e210335b222c_TOC)

investment oversight and research and analysis capabilities, and its ability to attract and retain skilled investment professionals.

The Board also considered information regarding DMC's programs for risk management, including investment, operational, liquidity, derivatives (as applicable), valuation and compliance risks and its plans for enhancing those programs (including through the allocation of additional resources and individuals, and enhancements to existing processes and testing as discussed further below). The Board received information with respect to the cybersecurity program and business continuity plans of DMC and its affiliates, as well as information from Macquarie Group Ltd. the parent company of DMC, regarding its U.S. mutual fund business.

In addition, the Board considered certain non-advisory services that DMC and its affiliates provide to the fund complex. Among other things, these services include third party service provider oversight, transfer agency, internal audit, pricing and valuation, portfolio trading, and legal and compliance functions. The Board noted DMC's responsibility for overseeing: the preparation of the Fund's prospectus, summary prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports, and other periodic filings with regulators; organizing Board meetings and preparing materials for such Board meetings; and furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board.

The Board took into account the proposed acquisition by Nomura Holding America, Inc. ("Nomura") of the US and European public investments business of Macquarie Asset Management, including DMC (the "MAM Business"). The Board considered information from DMC and Nomura regarding the transaction, as well as the approvals made by the Board, at a special board meeting held on June 18, 2025 that, among other things, authorized management to seek shareholder approval of new advisory agreements for the Fund complex with DMC that if approved by shareholders, would become effective upon the closing of the transaction. The Board noted the anticipated benefits to shareholders of the change in ownership of the MAM Business, including resources available to DMC when it becomes part of Nomura'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, including the Fund's portfolio managers. The Board considered the division of responsibilities between DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the oversight provided by DMC. The Board also considered the expertise of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to certain asset classes and/or investment styles. The Board noted the changes that would occur with respect to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers following the closing of the Transaction, including whether and how such sub-advisers would continue to provide investment services to the Fund. 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 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

#### Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract (continued)

scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal and regulatory obligations 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 this information, the Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided until the closing of the transaction) 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, Inc., an independent investment company data provider ("Broadridge"), furnished for the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, and reports provided by JDL throughout the year. The Broadridge reports prepared for the Fund's institutional share class showed its investment performance in comparison to the institutional share class of a group of similar funds (the "Performance Universe"). The Board received a description of the methodology used to select the peer 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, 2024.

The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional flexible portfolio 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-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe and for the 3-year period was in the first 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 also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. The Board noted the explanations from DMC and from the Affiliated Sub-Adviser concerning the reasons for the Fund's relative performance versus its benchmark index for the periods under review and any actions that DMC has taken to address performance concerns.

**Comparative expenses. The Board received and considered expense data for the Fund. DMC provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Broadridge total expenses (reflecting any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements), for comparative consistency, were shown by Broadridge for Institutional Class shares. The Board also considered 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 peer funds as selected by Broadridge (the "Expense Universe"). The Fund's total expenses were also compared with those**

80&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__dbf21d86-c1f8-405e-bad4-e210335b222c_TOC)

of its Expense Universe, which is comprised of the Fund, its Expense Universe and all other similar funds with an institutional share class (i.e., funds without 12b-1 fees and non-12b-1 service fees) with assets equal to or greater than $100 million, excluding outliers. 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 in the Expense Universe were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, with the Fund's Expense Universe.

The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund's net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees.

The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was equal to the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were slightly below its Expense Universe average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.

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 complex, including the current breakpoints. The Board considered the continuation and/or implementation of contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, as applicable. The Board noted that, as of March 31, 2025, 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 complex 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**

#### Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 12-14, 2025 (continued)
certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees discussed DMC's profitability in such context with representatives from JDL. The Board recognized that calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level is difficult; that DMC's profit, if any, can vary significantly depending on the particular fund; and that DMC's support for, and commitment to, a fund is not solely dependent on the profits realized as to that fund.

The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by DMC after payment of the fee to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of the responsibilities retained and risk assumed by DMC and not delegated to or assumed by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers. Given the affiliation between DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.

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.

**Ancillary benefits. The Board received and considered information regarding the extent to which DMC and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations. These potentially include procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as investment manager to the complex; the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies; the portfolio transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements; and the fees that various affiliates received for serving as transfer agent and for overseeing fund accounting and financial administration services to the complex. The Board considered that it receives periodic reports from DMC that include a representation that any soft dollar arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. 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 representations of DMC and Nomura, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received, or likely to be received in the near future, by DMC and its affiliates, including the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, 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, unanimously approved the continuation of DMC's Investment Management Agreement and of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers' Sub-Advisory Agreements for an additional one-year period.**

Notes to financial statements

Nomura Small Cap Core Fund November 30, 2025

Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Equity Funds V (Trust) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers three series: Nomura Small Cap Core Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Core Fund through November 30, 2025), Nomura Small Cap Value Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Value Fund through November 30, 2025), and Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (formerly, Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund through November 30, 2025). These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Nomura Small Cap Core Fund (Fund). The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), 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 5.75%. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $1 million or more of Class A shares, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (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 (NYSE) 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. Open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (Rule 2a-5). As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board of Trustees (Board) has designated Delaware Management Company (DMC) as part of its duties as the Fund's valuation designee (Valuation Designee) to perform the fair value determination relating to all applicable Fund investments. DMC has established a Pricing Committee to assist**

with its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee, and DMC may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through the Pricing Committee and other teams and committees, which operate under policies and procedures approved by the Board and subject to the Board's oversight. Fair value pricing may be used more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Valuation Designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of US securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the close of the NYSE. The Valuation Designee may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-US securities.

**Federal 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 November 30, 2025, and for all open tax years (years ended November 30, 2022–November 30, 2024), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest and tax penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest and tax penalties" on the "Statement of operations." During the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.**

**Class Accounting — Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. 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.** 

**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 Nomura Funds (formerly, Macquarie 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**

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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. Income and capital gain distributions from any investment companies (Underlying Funds), in which the Fund invests are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, which are estimated, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, at least annually. The Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, with the intent of improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for the reportable segment and the entity as a whole thereby enabling better understanding of how an entity's segments impact overall performance. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer act as the Fund's chief operating decision maker (CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment since the Fund has a single investment strategy disclosed in the prospectus against which the CODM assesses performance. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources, the CODM relies on the Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the information contained in the Fund's financial statements. Adoption of the new standard impacted the Fund's financial statements note disclosures only, and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.

The Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the "Statement of operations" under "Custodian fees" with the corresponding expenses offset included under "Less expenses paid indirectly." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund earned $36,572 under this arrangement.

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, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses" with the corresponding expenses offset included under "Less expenses paid indirectly." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund earned $1,993 under this arrangement.

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 Nomura Investment Management Business Trust (NIMBT) and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the rates of 0.75% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund, 0.70% on the next $500 million, 0.65% on the next $1.5 billion, 0.60% on the next $5.5 billion, and 0.575% on average daily net assets in excess of $8 billion. Prior to December 1, 2025, NIMBT was named Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (MIMBT).

Prior to December 1, 2025, DMC entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Fund with Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited, which was an affiliate of DMC (Affiliated Sub-Advisor). Pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the investment sub-advisory fee is paid by DMC to the Affiliated Sub-Advisor based on the extent to which the Affiliated Sub-Advisor provides services to the Fund.

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 Nomura Funds at the following annual rates: 0.0050% of the first $60 billion; 0.00475% of the next $30 billion; and 0.0015% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $90 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Nomura 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 November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $322,551 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 Nomura 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 Nomura Funds on a relative NAV basis. This amount is included on the "Statement of operations" under "Dividend disbursing, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $478,233 for these services. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYIS), BNYIS 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, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses." The fees are calculated daily and paid as invoices on a monthly or quarterly basis.

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

Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, the Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual distribution and service (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. 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. For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $136,441 for internal legal and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates' employees. This amount is included on the "Statement of operations" under "Legal fees."

For the year ended November 30, 2025, DDLP earned $4,625 for commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares. For the year ended November 30, 2025, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions of $1,312 and $3,889 on redemptions of the Fund's Class A and Class C shares, respectively, and these commissions were entirely used to offset upfront commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares.

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.

During the year ended November 30, 2024 DMC reimbursed the Fund $5,551 for commissions related to a trade error. The amount is included in "Net increase from payment by affiliates" in the "Statements of changes in net assets." Payment by affiliates had no impact on total return.

As of December 1, 2025 (Closing Date), Nomura Holding America Inc. completed the acquisition of Macquarie Asset Management's US and European public investments business. The closing of this transaction resulted in the automatic termination of the Fund's investment advisory agreement with DMC, and any sub-advisory agreement, as applicable. At a special shareholder meeting held on September 10, 2025, Fund shareholders approved a new investment advisory agreement for the Fund. On the Closing Date, the new investment advisory agreement, any applicable sub-advisory agreement, and the Fund's name change to Nomura Small Cap Core Fund went effective.

An affiliated issuer includes any company in which the Fund held 5% or more of a company's outstanding voting shares at any point during the period, as well as other circumstances where

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. 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, forward 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 November 30, 2025:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|

<br> <sup>1</sup>The security that has been valued at zero on the "Schedule of investments" is considered to be a Level 3 investment in this table.

During the year ended November 30, 2025, 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. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to the Fund's net assets at the beginning or end of the year. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 inputs since the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to the Fund's net assets at the end of the year.

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 November 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Year ended | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Year ended |

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of November 30, 2025, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Paid-in capital | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$4415677868 |
| Undistributed ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25325260 |
| Undistributed long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;241408901 |
| Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1831698701 |
| Net assets | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$6514110730 |

---

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 recognition of unrealized gain on passive foreign investment companies.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to the tax treatment of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended November 30, 2025, the adjustments were to decrease total distributable earnings (loss) and increase paid-in capital by $76,123,025.

6. Capital Shares

Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

7. Line of Credit

The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Nomura Funds (Participants), is a participant in a $335,000,000 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 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 Participants are permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant is 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 27, 2025. This Agreement was extended to October 26, 2026.

The Fund had no amounts outstanding as of November 30, 2025, or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Securities Lending

The Fund, along with other funds in the Nomura Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY). 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

8. Securities Lending (continued)

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 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 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.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__5e027005-58af-4352-9c43-c254bad3544c_TOC)

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 November 30, 2025, the Fund had no securities out on loan.

9. Credit and Market Risks

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.

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in small companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities it holds will decrease in value if interest rates rise. The risk is generally associated with bonds; however, because small- and medium-sized companies and companies in the real estate sector often borrow money to finance their operations, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the year ended November 30, 2025. The Fund's REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector whose value may decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.

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 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. As of November 30, 2025, there were no Rule 144A securities held by the Fund.

10. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund's existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments under this ASU are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management expects that adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

12. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2025, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund's financial statements.

#### Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract (continued)

#### Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 12-14, 2025 (continued)
about the Board of Trustees' consideration of the new investment advisory agreement with DMC is available in the Funds' proxy statement dated July 9, 2025.

At a meeting held on August 12-14, 2025 (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 Macquarie Small Cap Core Fund (the "Fund") Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company ("DMC") and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited ("MIMGL" or the "Affiliated Sub-Adviser").

Prior to the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, including at a Board meeting held in May 2025, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of DMC about these matters. Also, the Board was assisted by the Equity Investments Committee and the Fixed Income Multi-Asset Sub-Advised Funds Investments Committee (each an "Investment Committee" and together, the "Investment Committees"), with each Investment Committee assisting the full Board in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were also assisted in their evaluation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory 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 2025. Prior to the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, and in response to the requests, the Board received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. In considering and approving the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory 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 Annual Contract Renewal Meeting and the review process for the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, 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 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.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__5e027005-58af-4352-9c43-c254bad3544c_TOC)

After its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all of the, 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 met with DMC's senior management and investment personnel. The Board reviewed the materials provided by the Fund's portfolio management team discussing its performance, investment strategies and outlook, as well as DMC with respect to comparing Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable. The Board's review included consideration of DMC's investment oversight and research and analysis capabilities, and its ability to attract and retain skilled investment professionals.**

The Board also considered information regarding DMC's programs for risk management, including investment, operational, liquidity, derivatives (as applicable), valuation and compliance risks and its plans for enhancing those programs (including through the allocation of additional resources and individuals, and enhancements to existing processes and testing as discussed further below). The Board received information with respect to the cybersecurity program and business continuity plans of DMC and its affiliates, as well as information from Macquarie Group Ltd., the parent company of DMC, regarding its U.S. mutual fund business.

In addition, the Board considered certain non-advisory services that DMC and its affiliates provide to the fund complex. Among other things, these services include third party service provider oversight, transfer agency, internal audit, pricing and valuation, portfolio trading, and legal and compliance functions. The Board noted DMC's responsibility for overseeing: the preparation of the Fund's prospectus, summary prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports, and other periodic filings with regulators; organizing Board meetings and preparing materials for such Board meetings; and furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board.

The Board took into account the proposed acquisition by Nomura Holding America, Inc. ("Nomura") of the US and European public investments business of Macquarie Asset Management, including DMC (the "MAM Business"). The Board considered information from DMC and Nomura regarding the transaction, as well as the approvals made by the Board, at a special board meeting held on June 18, 2025 that, among other things, authorized management to seek shareholder approval of the new advisory agreements for the Fund complex with DMC that if approved by shareholders, would become effective upon the closing of the transaction. The Board noted the anticipated benefits to shareholders of the change in ownership of the MAM Business, including the resources available to DMC when it becomes part of Nomura's global asset management business.

The Board received and considered various information with respect to the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the credentials and experience

#### Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract (continued)

#### Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 12-14, 2025 (continued)
of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser who provide these services. The Board considered the division of responsibilities between DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Adviser and the oversight provided by DMC. The Board also considered the expertise of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser with respect to certain asset classes and/or investment styles. The Board noted the changes that would occur with respect to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser following the closing of the Transaction, including whether and how such sub-adviser would continue to provide investment services to the Fund. The Board took into account that the Sub-Advisory Agreement may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting DMC to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser in managing the Fund.

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 and regulatory obligations 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 this information, the Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided until the closing of the transaction) to the Fund by DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Adviser.

**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, Inc., an independent investment company data provider ("Broadridge"), furnished for the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, and reports provided by JDL throughout the year. The Broadridge reports prepared for the Fund's institutional share class showed its investment performance in comparison to the institutional share class of a group of similar funds (the "Performance Universe"). The Board received a description of the methodology used to select the peer 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, 2024.**

The Performance Universe consists of the Fund and all retail and institutional small-cap core 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 third quartile of its Performance Universe and for the 5- and 10-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1- and 3-year periods was below the median of its Performance Universe and for the 5- and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__5e027005-58af-4352-9c43-c254bad3544c_TOC)

The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods and underperformed its benchmark index for the 1-year period.

**Comparative expenses. The Board received and considered expense data for the Fund. DMC provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Broadridge total expenses (reflecting any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements), for comparative consistency, were shown by Broadridge for Institutional Class shares. The Board also considered 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 peer funds as selected by Broadridge (the "Expense Universe"). The Fund's total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Universe, which is comprised of the Fund, its Expense Universe and all other similar funds with an institutional share class (i.e., funds without 12b-1 fees and non-12b-1 service fees) with assets equal to or greater than $100 million, excluding outliers. 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 in the Expense Universe were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, with the Fund's Expense Universe.**

The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund's net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees.

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 Universe average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.

The Board noted that DMC, and not the Fund, pays the sub-advisory fees to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser and, accordingly, that the retention of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser 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-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory 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 complex, including the current breakpoints. The Board considered the continuation and/or implementation of contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, as applicable. The Board noted that, as of March 31, 2025, the Fund's net assets exceeded its third 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 complex 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. The Board recognized that calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level is difficult; that DMC's profit, if any, can vary significantly depending on the particular fund; and that DMC's support for, and commitment to, a fund is not solely dependent on the profits realized as to that fund.**

The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by DMC after payment of the fee to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of the responsibilities retained and risk assumed by DMC and not delegated to or assumed by the Affiliated Sub-Adviser. Given the affiliation between DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.

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.

**Ancillary benefits. The Board received and considered information regarding the extent to which DMC and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations. These potentially include procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as investment manager to the complex; the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies; the portfolio transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements; and the fees that various affiliates received for serving as transfer agent and for overseeing fund accounting and financial administration services to the complex. The Board considered that it receives periodic reports from DMC that include a representation that any soft dollar arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. 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 representations of DMC and Nomura, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received, or likely to be received in the near future, by DMC and its affiliates, including the Affiliated Sub-Adviser, 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, unanimously approved the continuation of DMC's Investment Management Agreement and of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser's Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period.**

Notes to financial statements

Nomura Small Cap Value Fund November 30, 2025

Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Equity Funds V (Trust) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers three series: Nomura Small Cap Core Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Core Fund through November 30, 2025), Nomura Small Cap Value Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Value Fund through November 30, 2025), and Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (formerly, Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund through November 30, 2025). These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Nomura Small Cap Value Fund (Fund). The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), 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 5.75%. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $1 million or more of Class A shares, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (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 (NYSE) 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. Open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (Rule 2a-5). As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board of Trustees (Board) has designated Delaware Management Company (DMC) as part of its duties as the Fund's valuation designee (Valuation Designee) to perform the fair value determination relating to all applicable Fund investments. DMC has established a Pricing Committee to assist**

with its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee, and DMC may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through the Pricing Committee and other teams and committees, which operate under policies and procedures approved by the Board and subject to the Board's oversight. Fair value pricing may be used more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Valuation Designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of US securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the close of the NYSE. The Valuation Designee may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-US securities.

**Federal 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 November 30, 2025, and for all open tax years (years ended November 30, 2022–November 30, 2024), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest and tax penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest and tax penalties" on the "Statement of operations." During the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.**

**Class Accounting — Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. 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.** 

**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 Nomura Funds (formerly, Macquarie 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**

Nomura Small Cap Value Fund

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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. Income and capital gain distributions from any investment companies (Underlying Funds), in which the Fund invests are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, which are estimated, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, at least annually. The Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, with the intent of improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for the reportable segment and the entity as a whole thereby enabling better understanding of how an entity's segments impact overall performance. The Fund's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer act as the Fund's chief operating decision maker (CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment since the Fund has a single investment strategy disclosed in the prospectus against which the CODM assesses performance. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources, the CODM relies on the Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the information contained in the Fund's financial statements. Adoption of the new standard impacted the Fund's financial statements note disclosures only, and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.

The Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the "Statement of operations" under "Custodian fees" with the corresponding expenses offset included under "Less expenses paid indirectly." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund earned $439 under this arrangement.

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, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses" with the corresponding expenses offset included under "Less expenses paid indirectly." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund earned $5,251 under this arrangement.

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 Nomura Investment Management Business Trust (NIMBT) and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the rates of 0.75% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the Fund, 0.70% on the next $500 million, 0.65% on the next $1.5 billion, 0.60% on the next $5.5 billion, and 0.575% on average daily net assets in excess of $8 billion. Prior to December 1, 2025, NIMBT was named Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (MIMBT).

Prior to December 1, 2025, DMC entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Fund with Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited, which was an affiliate of DMC (Affiliated Sub-Advisor). Pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the investment sub-advisory fee is paid by DMC to the Affiliated Sub-Advisor based on the extent to which the Affiliated Sub-Advisor provides services to the Fund.

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 Nomura Funds at the following annual rates: 0.0050% of the first $60 billion; 0.00475% of the next $30 billion; and 0.0015% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $90 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Nomura 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 November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $184,455 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 Nomura 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 Nomura Funds on a relative NAV basis. This amount is included on the "Statement of operations" under "Dividend disbursing, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses." For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $270,824 for these services. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYIS), BNYIS 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, transfer agent and sub-transfer agent fees and expenses." The fees are calculated daily and paid as invoices 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 distribution and service (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. 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. For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $77,396 for internal legal and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates' employees. This amount is included on the "Statement of operations" under "Legal fees."

For the year ended November 30, 2025, DDLP earned $21,489 for commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares. For the year ended November 30, 2025, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions of $189 and $424 on redemptions of the Fund's Class A and Class C shares, respectively, and these commissions were entirely used to offset upfront commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares.

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.

As of December 1, 2025 (Closing Date), Nomura Holding America Inc. completed the acquisition of Macquarie Asset Management's US and European public investments business. The closing of this transaction resulted in the automatic termination of the Fund's investment advisory agreement with DMC, and any sub-advisory agreement, as applicable. At a special shareholder meeting held on November 7, 2025, Fund shareholders approved a new investment advisory agreement for the Fund. On the Closing Date, the new investment advisory agreement, any applicable sub-advisory agreement, and the Fund's name change to Nomura Small Cap Value Fund went effective.

3. Investments

For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments and US government securities as follows:

---

| | |

| Purchases | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$821010669 |
| Sales | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1392206668 |

The tax cost of investments 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 November 30, 2025, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for federal income tax purposes for the Fund were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Cost of investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$2488125990 |
| Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$2058819548 |
| Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(888336331) |
| Net unrealized appreciation of investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1170483217 |

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 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, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)

3. Investments (continued)

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 November 30, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | Level 1 |
| Securities |  |
| Assets: |  |
| Common Stocks | $3595120780 |
| Short-Term Investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;63488427 |
| Total Value of Securities | $3658609207 |

---

During the year ended November 30, 2025, 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. As of November 30, 2025, 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 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 November 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Year ended | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Year ended |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11/30/25 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11/30/24 |
| Ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$61506852 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$63917570 |
| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;418688820 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;274557657 |
| Total | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$480195672 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$338475227 |

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of November 30, 2025, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Paid-in capital | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$2078950302 |
| Undistributed ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34061683 |
| Undistributed long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;375362222 |
| Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1170483217 |
| Net assets | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$3658857424 |

---

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

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to redemptions in-kind and tax treatment of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended November 30, 2025, the adjustments were to decrease total distributable earnings (loss) and increase paid-in capital by $319,735,792.

Certain shareholders may exchange shares of one class for shares of another class in the same Fund. These exchange transactions are included in shares sold and shares redeemed in the table above and on the "Statements of changes in net assets."

7. Line of Credit

The Fund, along with certain other funds in the Nomura Funds (Participants), is a participant in a $335,000,000 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 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 Participants are permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant is 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 27, 2025. This Agreement was extended to October 26, 2026.

The Fund had no amounts outstanding as of November 30, 2025, or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Securities Lending

The Fund, along with other funds in the Nomura Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY). 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 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 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 November 30, 2025, the Fund had no securities out on loan.

9. Credit and Market Risks

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.

The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in small companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.

The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities it holds will decrease in value if interest rates rise. The risk is generally associated with bonds; however, because small- and medium-sized companies and companies in the real estate sector often borrow money to finance their operations, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__7e1b3b9f-d289-411a-ba11-2b75403bb778_TOC)

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the year ended November 30, 2025. The Fund's REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest in securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector whose value may decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.

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 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. As of November 30, 2025, there were no Rule 144A securities held by the Fund.

10. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund's existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

11. In-Kind Redemption

During the year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund satisfied withdrawal requests with transfers of securities and cash of $451,990,904, resulting in net realized losses of $186,776,868.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments under this ASU are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management expects that adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Shareholders of Nomura Small Cap Value Fund and Board of Trustees of Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Equity Funds V

<u>Opinion on the Financial Statements</u>

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Nomura Small Cap Value Fund (formerly Macquarie Small Cap Value Fund, the "Fund"), a series of Delaware Group Equity Funds V, as of November 30, 2025, the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2025, the results of its operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the years ended November 30, 2024, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated January 28, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

<u>Basis for Opinion</u>

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audit. 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 Fund 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 audit 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 audit 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.

#### Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants for Open-End Management Investment Companies

#### Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
At a meeting held on September 9, 2025, the Board of Trustees (Board), upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) and approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd.

Nomura Small Cap Value Fund

#### Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract (continued)

#### Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 12-14, 2025 (continued)
Board of Trustees' consideration of the new investment advisory agreement with DMC is available in the Funds' proxy statement dated July 9, 2025.

At a meeting held on August 12-14, 2025 (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 Macquarie Small Cap Value Fund (the "Fund") Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company ("DMC") and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited ("MIMGL" or the "Affiliated Sub-Adviser").

Prior to the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, including at a Board meeting held in May 2025, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of DMC about these matters. Also, the Board was assisted by the Equity Investments Committee and the Fixed Income Multi-Asset Sub-Advised Funds Investments Committee (each an "Investment Committee" and together, the "Investment Committees"), with each Investment Committee assisting the full Board in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were also assisted in their evaluation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory 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 2025. Prior to the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, and in response to the requests, the Board received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. In considering and approving the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory 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 Annual Contract Renewal Meeting and the review process for the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, 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 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, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all of the, 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 met with DMC's senior management and investment personnel. The Board reviewed the materials provided by the Fund's portfolio management team discussing its performance, investment strategies and outlook, as well as DMC with respect to comparing Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable. The Board's review included consideration of DMC's investment oversight and research and analysis capabilities, and its ability to attract and retain skilled investment professionals.**

The Board also considered information regarding DMC's programs for risk management, including investment, operational, liquidity, derivatives (as applicable), valuation and compliance risks and its plans for enhancing those programs (including through the allocation of additional resources and individuals, and enhancements to existing processes and testing as discussed further below). The Board received information with respect to the cybersecurity program and business continuity plans of DMC and its affiliates, as well as information from Macquarie Group Ltd., the parent company of DMC, regarding its U.S. mutual fund business.

In addition, the Board considered certain non-advisory services that DMC and its affiliates provide to the fund complex. Among other things, these services include third party service provider oversight, transfer agency, internal audit, pricing and valuation, portfolio trading, and legal and compliance functions. The Board noted DMC's responsibility for overseeing: the preparation of the Fund's prospectus, summary prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports, and other periodic filings with regulators; organizing Board meetings and preparing materials for such Board meetings; and furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board.

The Board took into account the proposed acquisition by Nomura Holding America, Inc. ("Nomura") of the US and European public investments business of Macquarie Asset Management, including DMC (the "MAM Business"). The Board considered information from DMC and Nomura regarding the transaction, as well as the approvals made by the Board, at a special board meeting held on June 18, 2025 that, among other things, authorized management to seek shareholder approval of the new advisory agreements for the Fund complex with DMC that if approved by shareholders, would become effective upon the closing of the transaction. The Board noted the anticipated benefits to shareholders of the change in ownership of the MAM Business, including the resources available to DMC when it becomes part of Nomura's global asset management business.

The Board received and considered various information with respect to the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the credentials and experience

Nomura Small Cap Value Fund

#### Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract (continued)

#### Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 12-14, 2025 (continued)
of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser who provide these services. The Board considered the division of responsibilities between DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Adviser and the oversight provided by DMC. The Board also considered the expertise of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser with respect to certain asset classes and/or investment styles. The Board noted the changes that would occur with respect to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser following the closing of the Transaction, including whether and how such sub-adviser would continue to provide investment services to the Fund. The Board took into account that the Sub-Advisory Agreement may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting DMC to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser in managing the Fund.

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 and regulatory obligations 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 this information, the Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided until the closing of the transaction) to the Fund by DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Adviser.

**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, Inc., an independent investment company data provider ("Broadridge"), furnished for the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, and reports provided by JDL throughout the year. The Broadridge reports prepared for the Fund's institutional share class showed its investment performance in comparison to the institutional share class of a group of similar funds (the "Performance Universe"). The Board received a description of the methodology used to select the peer 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, 2024.**

The Performance Universe consists of the Fund and all retail and institutional small-cap value 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 10-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe and for the 3- and 5-year periods was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 3- and 5-year periods was below the median of its Performance Universe and for the 1- and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__7e1b3b9f-d289-411a-ba11-2b75403bb778_TOC)

The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, and 10-year periods and performed approximately equal to its benchmark index for the 5-year period.

**Comparative expenses. The Board received and considered expense data for the Fund. DMC provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Broadridge total expenses (reflecting any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements), for comparative consistency, were shown by Broadridge for Institutional Class shares. The Board also considered 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 peer funds as selected by Broadridge (the "Expense Universe"). The Fund's total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Universe, which is comprised of the Fund, its Expense Universe and all other similar funds with an institutional share class (i.e., funds without 12b-1 fees and non-12b-1 service fees) with assets equal to or greater than $100 million, excluding outliers. 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 in the Expense Universe were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, with the Fund's Expense Universe.**

The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund's net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees.

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 Universe average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.

The Board noted that DMC, and not the Fund, pays the sub-advisory fees to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser and, accordingly, that the retention of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser 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-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory 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 complex, including the current breakpoints. The Board considered the continuation and/or implementation of contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, as applicable. The Board noted that, as of March 31, 2025, the Fund's net assets exceeded its third 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 complex 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. The Board recognized that calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level is difficult; that DMC's profit, if any, can vary significantly depending on the particular fund; and that DMC's support for, and commitment to, a fund is not solely dependent on the profits realized as to that fund.**

The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by DMC after payment of the fee to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of the responsibilities retained and risk assumed by DMC and not delegated to or assumed by the Affiliated Sub-Adviser. Given the affiliation between DMC and the Affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.

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.

**Ancillary benefits. The Board received and considered information regarding the extent to which DMC and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations. These potentially include procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as investment manager to the complex; the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies; the portfolio transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements; and the fees that various affiliates received for serving as transfer agent and for overseeing fund accounting and financial administration services to the complex. The Board considered that it receives periodic reports from DMC that include a representation that any soft dollar arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. 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.**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_DI_-__7e1b3b9f-d289-411a-ba11-2b75403bb778_TOC)

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 representations of DMC and Nomura, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received, or likely to be received in the near future, by DMC and its affiliates, including the Affiliated Sub-Adviser, 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, unanimously approved the continuation of DMC's Investment Management Agreement and of the Affiliated Sub-Adviser's Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period.**

#### Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants for Open-End Management Investment Companies.

#### Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
At a meeting held on September 9, 2025, the Board of Trustees (Board), upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) and approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. (Cohen & Co) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Nomura Small Cap Core Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Core Fund), Nomura Small Cap Value Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Value Fund), and Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (formerly, Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund) (for purposes of this paragraph, each, a Fund and collectively, the Funds) for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025.

PwC's reports on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except that the Nomura Wealth Builder Fund restated its fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 financial statements to correct an error.

In addition, during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 and during the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025, (i) there were no disagreements between the Funds and PwC on accounting principles, financial statement disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events described in Item 304(a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except for the material weakness related to the Nomura Wealth Builder Fund's failure to timely identify that it had failed the gross income test to enable the recording of the associated tax liability in the relevant fiscal year.

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 and during the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025, neither the Board nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Cohen & Co at any time prior to their selection with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds' financial statements; or (ii) the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a) (1) (iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a) (1) (v) of said Item 304.

The Funds have provided PwC with a copy of this Form N-CSR and requested that PwC furnish the Funds with a letter stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of PwC's letter, dated February 6, 2026, is attached as Exhibit 99 to this N-CSR.

#### Item 15. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant's board of trustees, where those changes were implemented after the registrant last provided disclosure in response to the requirements of Item 407(c)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.407) (as required by Item 22(b)(15) of Schedule 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-101)), or this Item.

#### Item 16. Controls and Procedures.
(a) The registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)) and provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the registrant in its reports or statements filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) *As previously disclosed under Item 11(a) of Form N-CSR for the period ended November 30, 2024, management identified a material weakness over the design and operating effectiveness of controls over the gross income test requirement necessary for a fund to qualify as a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes.* 

*During the period ended November 30, 2025, management implemented enhancements to its tax compliance review controls and monitoring procedures related to a fund's gross income test calculation and its underlying inputs. Management regularly monitors a fund's investments that generate nonqualifying income year-over-year, to ensure that investments that are sold in the prior year but for which income is recognized in a subsequent year for tax purposes are appropriately included. Management also enhanced a mechanism to track the year within which Schedule K-1 income is recognized for tax purposes.* 

*As a result of these remediation activities, management has concluded that the previously reported material weakness has been fully remediated and that the enhanced controls were operating effectively as of the period ended November 30, 2025. Management further concluded that the registrant's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of that date. Other than the enhancements to controls and procedures noted above, there were no significant changes in the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the period covered by the report to stockholders included herein that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.* 

#### Item 17. Disclosure of Securities Lending Activities for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
Not applicable.

#### Item 18. Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

Securities and Exchange Commission

100 F Street, N.E.

Washington, DC 20549

Commissioners:

We have read the statements made by Nomura Small Cap Core Fund, Nomura Small Cap Value Fund, and Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (the "Funds") (copy attached), which we understand will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Item 1 and Item 8 of Form N-CSR of the Funds dated February 6, 2026. We agree with the statements concerning our Firm contained therein.

Very truly yours,

/s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Attachment

**Attachment** 

**Item 1. Report to Stockholders.** 

**Changes in and disagreements with accountants** 

During the reporting period, there was a change in the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. On September 9, 2025, the Fund's Board of Trustees, upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund, effectively dismissing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. There were no disagreements with PwC during the Fund's two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025.

**Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants for Open-End Management Investment Companies.** 

**Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm** 

At a meeting held on September 9, 2025, the Board of Trustees (Board), upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) and approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. (Cohen & Co) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Nomura Small Cap Core Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Core Fund), Nomura Small Cap Value Fund (formerly, Macquarie Small Cap Value Fund), and Nomura Wealth Builder Fund (formerly, Macquarie Wealth Builder Fund) (for purposes of this paragraph, each, a Fund and collectively, the Funds) for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025.

PwC's reports on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except that the Nomura Wealth Builder Fund restated its fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 financial statements to correct an error.

In addition, during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 and during the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025, (i) there were no disagreements between the Funds and PwC on accounting principles, financial statement disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events described in Item 304(a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except for the material weakness related to the Nomura Wealth Builder Fund's failure to timely identify that it had failed the gross income test to enable the recording of the associated tax liability in the relevant fiscal year.

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2024 and during the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2025, neither the Board nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Cohen & Co at any time prior to their selection with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds' financial statements; or (ii) the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a) (1) (iv) of Item 304 of Regulations S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a) (1) (v) of said Item 304.

The Funds have provided PwC with a copy of this Form N-CSR and requested that PwC furnish the Funds with a letter stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of PwC's letter, dated February 6, 2026, is attached as Exhibit 99 to this N-CSR.
