Main investment strategies
|
The Fund invests in short-term money market securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, asset backed securities, and short-term debt instruments of banks and corporations. Delaware Cash Reserve Fund is a money market fund. A money market fund is designed for stability of principal; consequently, the level of income fluctuates. We maintain an average maturity of 90 days or less. Also, we do not purchase any instruments with an effective remaining maturity of more than 397 calendar days (approximately 13 months). We intend to hold our investments until maturity, but we may sell them prior to maturity in order to shorten or lengthen the average maturity of the bonds in the portfolio, increase the yield, maintain the quality of the portfolio, or maintain a stable share value.

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
A rise/fall in the interest rates can have a significant impact on bond prices and the NAV (net asset value) of the fund. Funds that invest in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and an investor can lose principal.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund's prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting www.delawareinvestments.com/literature or calling 800 523-1918. Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing.
