Past performance is no guarantee of future results
Morningstar has awarded its highest ratings to the following Delaware Investments funds.
The Overall Morningstar Rating™ is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund's 3-, 5-, and 10-year (as applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics.The top 10% of funds in each Morningstar category receive 5 stars; the next 22.5% receive 4 stars.
Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance as of Sept. 31, 2009. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating(TM) based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The top 10% of the funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, 22.5% receive 4 stars, 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar rating is a weighted average of funds' three-, five-, and 10-year (as applicable) ratings. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Morningstar Rating is for the Class A Share only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
