About the organization 46

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (“DEX” or the “Fund”), acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), has adopted a managed distribution policy (the “Plan”). The Fund currently makes monthly distributions to common shareholders at a targeted annual distribution rate of 6.5% of the Fund’s average net asset value (“NAV”) per share. The Fund will calculate the average NAV per share from the previous three full months immediately prior to the distribution based on the number of business days in those three months on which the NAV is calculated. The distribution will be calculated as 6.5% of the prior three months’ average NAV per share, divided by 12. This distribution methodology is intended to provide shareholders with a consistent, but not guaranteed, income stream and a targeted annual distribution rate and is intended to narrow any discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s common shares, but there is no assurance that the policy will be successful in doing so.

Under the Plan, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net investment income and short-term capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted, and if necessary, a return of capital. The Fund will generally distribute amounts necessary to satisfy the terms of the Fund’s Plan and the requirements prescribed by excise tax rules and Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Each monthly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed percentage described above, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Fund to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Fund’s Plan at any time without prior notice if it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. The methodology for determining monthly distributions under the Plan will be reviewed at least annually by the Fund’s Board, and the Fund will continue to evaluate its distribution in light of ongoing market conditions. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund’s stock is trading at or above NAV) or widening an existing trading discount. The Fund is subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on its ability to maintain distributions under the Plan. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, increased market volatility, portfolio companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions, and changes in the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. The Fund’s total investment return on NAV is presented in its financial highlights table.

A cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for the Fund’s current fiscal period, if applicable, is included in Other Fund Information. Section 19(a) notices for the Fund, as applicable, are available on the Fund’s website at delawarefunds.com/about/press-releases-closed-end.

The percentage of net assets exceeds 100.00% because the Fund utilizes a line of credit with The Bank of New York Mellon, as described in Note 5 in “Notes to financial statements.” The Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain a higher return for the Fund. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives through the use of such techniques.

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). 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 CDS agreement.

Notional amount shown is stated in USD unless noted that the swap is denominated in another currency.

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) does not include periodic interest payments (receipt) on swap contracts accrued daily in the amount of $(291).

3 Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return based on net asset value will be higher than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total return based on net asset value will be lower than total return based on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (Fund) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, and is a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). The Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol DEX.

The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.

On December 2, 2020, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., the parent company of Ivy Investment Management Company, the investment adviser of the Ivy Funds Complex (the Ivy Funds), and Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc., the US holding company for Macquarie Group Limited’s US asset management business (Macquarie), announced that they had entered into an agreement whereby Macquarie would acquire the investment management business of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on April 30, 2021. The Ivy Funds, as part of Delaware Funds® by Macquarie, are now managed by Delaware Management Company (DMC) and distributed by Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP).

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 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 ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. US government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities and credit default swap contracts (CDS) contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker/counterparty and reviewed by management. 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. 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, commercial mortgage securities, and 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. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and 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. 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. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00pm Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. Whenever such a significant event occurs, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing). Restricted securities and private placements are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board.

Federal and Foreign 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 six months ended May 31, 2021 and for all open tax years (years ended November 30, 2017–November 30, 2020), and has concluded that no provision for

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. In regard to foreign taxes only, the Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries in which it invests in that may date back to the inception of the Fund. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” on the “Statement of operations.” During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Distributions — The Fund has implemented a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net investment income and short-term capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted, and if necessary, a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years. The Fund’s managed distribution policy is described in more detail on the inside front cover of this report.

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 invests include ETFs. The Fund will indirectly bear the investment management fees and other expenses of the Underlying Funds.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at financial institutions, which are available for the Fund’s use with no restrictions, with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. 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 gains (losses), attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, is included on the “Statement of operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, the realized gains and losses are included on the “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.

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 Delaware Funds® by Macquarie (Delaware 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 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 the accrual basis. 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. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer, which are estimated. Distributions received from investments in master limited partnerships are recorded as return of capital on investments on the ex-dividend date. 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 have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

The Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. There were no such earnings credits for the six months ended May 31, 2021.

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 Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust, and the investment manager, an annual fee of 0.95%, calculated daily and paid monthly, of the adjusted average daily net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment management fees, adjusted average daily net assets excludes the line of credit liability.

DMC’s affiliate, Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (MIMAK), acts as sub-advisor to the Manager and provides asset allocation services to the Fund. MIMAK has primary day-to-day responsibility for managing the Fund and may allocate assets to its affiliate, Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL), to invest in real estate investment trust securities and other equity asset classes to which MIMAK may allocate assets. MIMAK may also allocate assets to the Manager.

DMC, and as applicable, MIMAK, may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited, MIMAK, and MIMGL (together, the “Affiliated Fixed Income Sub-Advisors”). The Manager may also permit these Affiliated Fixed Income Sub-Advisors to execute Fund fixed income security trades on behalf of the Manager and exercise investment discretion for securities in certain markets where DMC believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Fixed Income Sub-Advisor’s specialized market knowledge. DMC may permit its affiliates, MIMGL and Macquarie Funds Management Hong Kong Limited (together, the “Affiliated Equity Sub-Advisors”), to execute Fund equity security trades on behalf of the Manager. The Manager may also seek quantitative support from MIMGL. Although the Affiliated Equity Sub-Advisors serve as sub-advisors, DMC has ultimate responsibility for all investment advisory services. For these services, DMC, not the Fund, may pay each Affiliated Fixed Income Sub-Advisor and Affiliated Equity Sub-Advisor a portion of its investment management fee.

Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Fund. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate daily net assets (excluding the line of credit liability) of all funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rates: 0.00475% of the first $35 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $45 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Delaware 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 six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund was charged $4,981 for these services.

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, tax, and regulatory reporting services to the Fund. This amount is included on the “Statement of operations” under “Legal fees.” For the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund was charged $25,330 for internal legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

Trustees’ fees include expenses accrued by the Fund for each Trustee’s retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC and DIFSC are Officers and/or Trustees of the Fund. 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 the investment companies (Underlying Funds) 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 the Underlying Funds and the number of shares that are owned of the Underlying Funds at different times.

Cross trades for the six months ended May 31, 2021 were executed by the Fund pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board designed to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds of investment companies, or between a fund of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common directors/trustees and/or common officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the Board reviews such transactions for compliance with the procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund engaged in Rule 17a-7 securities sales of $1,094,908, which resulted in net realized gain of $109,096.

Cost of investments and derivatives       $ 164,082,108
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments and derivatives $ 20,965,599
Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments and derivatives (2,815,030 )
Net unrealized appreciation of investments and derivatives $ 18,150,569

At November 30, 2020, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains were as follows:

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, 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 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 six months ended May 31, 2021, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 investments. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities in the Fund occurs when market volatility exceeds an established rolling threshold. If the threshold is exceeded on a given date, then prices of international securities (those that traded on exchanges that close at a different time than the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined) are established using a separate pricing feed from a third party vendor designed to establish a price for each such security as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined. Further, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from
     investments still held at 5/31/21
$ 194,200 $ $ 194,200

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.

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. Capital Stock

Shares obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer agent, Computershare, Inc., in the open market, if the shares of the Fund are trading at a discount to the Fund’s NAV on the dividend payment date. However, the dividend reinvestment plan provides that if the shares of the Fund are trading at a premium to the Fund’s NAV on the dividend payment date, the Fund will issue shares to shareholders of record at NAV. During the six months ended May 31, 2021 and the year ended November 30, 2020, the Fund did not issue any shares under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.

The Fund implemented an open-market share repurchase program pursuant to which the Fund may purchase up to 10% of the Fund’s shares, from time to time, in open-market transactions, at the discretion of management. The share repurchase program commenced on August 1, 2016 and has no stated expiration date. For the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund repurchased 11,163 common shares valued at $108,285. The weighted average discount per share at the repurchase date was 8.17% for the six months ended May 31, 2021. For the year ended

Table of Contents

November 30, 2020, the Fund repurchased 108,837 common shares valued at $1,010,719. The weighted average discount per share at the repurchase date was 8.60% for the year ended November 30, 2020.

The Fund intends to repurchase its common shares, at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable and in accordance with applicable law, subject to various factors, including the limitations imposed by the federal securities laws governing the repurchase of an issuer’s shares by the issuer.

On May 27, 2021, the Fund’s Board approved a tender offer for the Fund’s common shares in accordance with the Fund’s Annual Measurement Period program. The tender offer authorized the Fund to purchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding shares at a price equal to 98% of the Fund’s NAV at the close of business on the NYSE on June 30, 2021, the first business day following the expiration of the offer. The tender offer commenced on June 2, 2021 and expired on June 29, 2021. In connection with the tender offer, the Fund purchased 594,367 shares at a total cost of $6,567,755. The tender offer was oversubscribed and all tenders of shares were subject to pro-ration (at a ratio of approximately 31.32%) in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.

5. Line of Credit

For the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund borrowed a portion of the money available to it pursuant to a $70,000,000 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) that expired on June 11, 2021. Effective June 11, 2021, the Fund entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that is scheduled to terminate on June 10, 2022. Depending on market conditions and amount borrowed, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the future.

At May 31, 2021, the par value of loans outstanding was $49,500,000, at a variable interest rate of 0.99%. The carrying value of the loan approximates fair value. During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $48,407,143, at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.03%.

Interest on borrowings is based on a variable short-term rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was computed at a rate of 0.15% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Fund’s portfolio.

6. 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.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross 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.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross 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 foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross 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.

During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security between trade date and settlement date and to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies to increase/decrease exposure to foreign currencies.

6. 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. The Fund will not be permitted to enter into any swap transactions unless, at the time of entering into such transactions, the unsecured long-term debt of the actual counterparty, combined with any credit enhancements, is rated at least BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) or Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or is determined to be of equivalent credit quality by DMC.

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 six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. 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 central cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by the applicable central counterparty. During the six months ended May 31, 2021, 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.

During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund used CDS contracts to hedge against credit events.

Swaps Generally. For centrally cleared swaps, payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded 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. The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the contract on a given day. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument, or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the “Schedule of investments.”

7. Offsetting

The Fund entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar agreement with certain of its derivative contract counterparties in order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs certain over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy, or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements on the “Statement of assets and liabilities.”

(a) Net exposure represents the receivable (payable) that would be due from (to) the counterparty in the event of default.

8. Securities Lending

The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with BNY Mellon. 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 Mellon 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 a series of individual separate accounts, each corresponding to a fund. 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; 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

30


Table of Contents

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 six months ended May 31, 2021, the Fund had no securities out on loan.

9. Credit and Market Risk

Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers, all of which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance.

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.

IBOR is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rate (collectively, “IBORs” could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference LIBOR (or the corresponding IBOR). The abandonment of LIBOR could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference LIBOR. The use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy performance. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs, such as the euro overnight index average (EONIA), which are also the subject of recent reform.

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 borrows through its line of credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher degrees of volatility because the Fund’s NAV could be subject to fluctuations in short-term interest rates and changes in market value of portfolio securities attributable to the leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. As a result, a relatively small decline in the value of the underlying investments could result in a relatively large loss. In addition, the leverage through the line of credit is dependent on the credit provider’s ability to fulfill its contractual obligations.

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 United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity 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.

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 a security.

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

31

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

9. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

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. 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 a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid.

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.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by US government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligation and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater-than-anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly as a result of defaults 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 six months ended May 31, 2021. 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). The Fund will limit its investments in Real Estate Limited Partnerships to 5% of its total assets at the time of purchase. As of May 31, 2021, the unfunded commitment for the limited partnership totaled $117,661.

The Fund may invest up to 10% 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 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and restricted securities have been identified on the “Schedule of investments.”

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. General Motors Term Loan Litigation

The Fund received notice of a litigation proceeding related to a General Motors Corporation (G.M.) term loan participation previously held by the Fund in 2009. Because it was believed that the Fund was a secured creditor, the Fund received the full principal on the loans in 2009 after the G.M. bankruptcy. However, based upon a US Court of Appeals ruling, the Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust sought to recover such amounts arguing that the Fund was an unsecured creditor and, as an unsecured creditor, the Fund should not have received payment in full. Based on available information related to the litigation and the Fund’s potential exposure, the Fund recorded a contingent liability of $353,068 and an asset of $105,920 based on the potential recoveries by the estate that resulted in a net decrease in the Fund’s NAV to reflect this potential recovery.

The plaintiff and the term loan lenders, which included the Fund, reached an agreement that resolved the disputes. The parties agreed to terms of a settlement agreement and presented the settlement agreement to the court for approval at a hearing on June 12, 2019. The court approved the settlement documentation and dismissed the case on July 2, 2019. The court’s approval of the settlement and dismissal of the case with prejudice became final on July 16, 2019.

The contingent liability and other asset were removed in connection with the case being settled, which resulted in the Fund recognizing a gain in the amount of the liabilities reversed.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has implemented ASU 2018-13 on the financial statements.

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As of the financial reporting period, Management is evaluating the impact of applying this ASU.

13. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to May 31, 2021, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Fund offers an automatic dividend reinvestment plan. The following is a restatement of the plan description in the Fund’s prospectus:

Unless the registered owner of the Fund’s common shares elects to receive cash by contacting the Plan Agent (as defined below), all dividends declared for your common shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by Computershare, Inc. (the “Plan Agent”), agent for shareholders in administering the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Fund. If a registered owner of common shares elects not to participate in the Plan, you will receive all dividends in cash paid by the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent, by check mailed directly to you (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee), or by ACH if you so elect by contacting the Plan Agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by sending written instructions or by contacting the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent, at the address set forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by contacting the Plan Agent before the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may reinvest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your common shares of the Fund to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Agent will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such shareholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “dividend”) payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“open-market purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere.

If, on the payment date for any dividend, the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions is greater than the net asset value per common share (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued common shares, including fractions, on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date.

If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per common share is greater than the market value per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any dividend, the Plan Agent will have until the last business day before the next date on which the common shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such dividend, whichever is sooner (the “last purchase date”), to invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired in open-market purchases. It is contemplated that the Fund will pay monthly dividends. Therefore, the period during which open-market purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each dividend through the date before the next “ex-dividend” date. If, before the Plan Agent has completed its open-market purchases, the market price of a common share exceeds the net asset value per common share, the average per common share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued common shares on the dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open market purchases, if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent may cease making open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued common shares at the net asset value per common share at the close of business on the last purchase date; provided that, if the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date.

The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Agent on

38


Table of Contents

behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Agent will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of common shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases. The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any US federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $15.00 sales fee and a brokerage commission of $.12 per share sold.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

Section 19(a) notices

The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder. The Fund estimates the following percentages, of the total distribution amount per share, attributable to (i) net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain, and (iv) return of capital or other capital source. These percentages are disclosed for the fiscal year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for the Fund.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in these 19(a) notices are only estimates and not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy. The Fund estimates (as of the date hereof) that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains for the current fiscal year; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not

Section 19(a) notices (continued)

necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” The Fund’s managed distribution policy is described in more detail on the inside front cover of this report.

Tender offer

As described in Note 4 to the Financial Statements, the Fund conducted a tender offer in June 2021 in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s annual Tender Offer Measurement Period program. Since the Fund’s organization in 2007, the Fund has conducted tender offers in 2018, 2019, and 2021.

Annual Tender Offer Measurement Period

The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) has adopted an annual Tender Offer Measurement Period to provide a periodic liquidity opportunity to Fund shareholders. Specifically, if the Fund is trading at an average discount to net asset value of more than 10% during a 12-week measurement period established each year by the Board commencing during the first calendar quarter of the year and ending in the second calendar quarter, the Fund will consider conducting a tender offer during the second calendar quarter, subject to the conditions in the following paragraph. The average discount will be determined on the basis of the discount or premium, as the case may be, as of the last trading day in each week during such 12-week period.

Under the Tender Offer Measurement Period program, the Fund does not accept tenders or effect repurchases if: (1) such transactions, if consummated, would (a) result in delisting of the Fund’s shares from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (for example, if the Fund’s capitalization would fall below the minimum threshold for continued listing); (b) impair the Fund’s status as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; or (c) result in a failure to comply with the applicable asset coverage requirements in the event any senior securities are issued and outstanding (including those required by rating agencies or lenders, if any); (2) the amount of shares tendered would require liquidation of such a substantial portion of the Fund’s portfolio securities that the Fund would not be able to liquidate portfolio securities in an orderly manner in light of the existing market conditions or such liquidation would have an adverse effect on the NAV of the Fund to the detriment of non-tendering shareholders; (3) there is any (a) legal action or proceeding instituted or threatened challenging such transactions or otherwise adversely affecting the Fund that, in the Board’s judgment, would be material to the Fund; (b) suspension of or limitation on prices for trading securities generally on the NYSE or other national securities exchange(s), or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) National Market System; (c) declaration of a banking moratorium by Federal or state authorities or any suspension of payment by banks in the United States or New York State; (d) limitation affecting the Fund or the issuers of its portfolio securities imposed by federal or state authorities on the extension of credit by lending institutions; (e) commencement of war, armed hostilities or other international or national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States; or (f) other event or condition that, in the Board’s judgment, would have a material adverse effect on the Fund or its shareholders if tendered shares were purchased; or (4) the Board determines that effecting any such transaction would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duty owed to the Fund or its shareholders. The Board may modify these exceptions in light of experience.

There can be no assurance that a tender offer will reduce or eliminate any spread between market price and the net asset value of the Fund’s shares. The market price of the shares will, among other things, be determined by the relative demand for and supply of shares in the market, the Fund’s investment performance, the Fund’s dividends and yields, and investor perception of the Fund’s overall attractiveness as an investment as compared with other investment alternatives. Nevertheless, the fact that a tender offer may be conducted may result in more of a reduction in the spread between market price and net asset value than might otherwise be the case.

Fund strategies and risks

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?

The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by focusing on broad diversification within its portfolio by investing globally in dividend-paying or income-generating securities across multiple asset classes. The Fund may invest in a variety of dividend-paying or income-generating securities. Not all investments, however, are required to pay dividends or interest. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its

40


Table of Contents

net assets in a combination of dividend-paying or income-generating securities across multiple asset classes, including but not limited to, equity securities of large, well-established companies; securities issued by real estate companies (including real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate operating companies (REOCs), debt securities (such as government bonds, investment grade and high risk, high yield corporate bonds, and convertible bonds), and emerging market securities. In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest: (1) at most 60% of its net assets in securities of US issuers; (2) at least 40% of its net assets in securities of non-US issuers, unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Manager, in which case the Fund would invest at least 30% of its net assets in the securities of non-US issuers; and (3) up to 25% of its net assets in securities issued by real estate companies (including real estate investment trusts and real estate industry operating companies). The Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain higher return for the Fund.

The Fund may not invest more than 25% of the Fund’s net assets in any one industry nor, with regard to 75% of the Fund’s total assets, will more than 5% be invested in the securities of any one issuer. In addition, the Manager will use a combination of dividend capture trading, option overwriting, realization of gains on the sale of securities, dividend growth and currency forwards to enhance the sustainability of the income stream.

The Manager will determine the proportion of the Fund’s assets to be allocated among the various asset classes based on its analysis of economic and market conditions and its assessment of the income and potential for appreciation that can be achieved from investments in such asset classes.

US equities — The Fund invests primarily in securities of large-capitalization companies that the Manager believes generate income and/or have long-term capital appreciation potential. The Manager follows a value, quality and income-oriented investment philosophy in selecting stocks for the Fund using a research-intensive approach that considers factors such as: a security price that reflects a market valuation that is judged to be below the estimated present or future value of the company; favorable earnings growth prospects; expected above-average return on equity and dividend yield; the financial condition of the issuer; and various qualitative factors.

Securities issued by real estate companies — The Fund may invest in REITs and REIT-equivalents located in any country (including the United States and developed, developing, emerging market countries). The Fund may invest in REOCs located in any country (including the United States and emerging market countries). The Fund may invest in securities that represent a variety of different sectors in the real estate industry. Under certain market conditions, the Fund may shift more of its investments to US real estate companies. The Fund may invest in securities issued in any currency and may hold foreign currency.

International equities — The Manager’s investment strategy in international equities seeks long-term growth without undue risk to principal. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities, including common or ordinary stocks, which provide the potential for capital appreciation. The Fund will invest in foreign securities, including direct investments in securities of foreign issuers and investments in depositary receipts (such as American, European and Global Depositary Receipts (“ADR,” “GDRs,” and “EDRs,” respectively)) that represent indirect interests in securities of foreign issuers. The Fund is not limited in the amount of assets it may invest in such foreign securities.

Emerging market equities — The Manager’s emerging markets strategy seeks long-term capital appreciation and the Fund may invest in a broad range of emerging market equity securities, including common or ordinary stocks. The Manager’s primary emphasis will be on the stocks of companies considered to be from an emerging market country. Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to, although it is not required to, invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers located in any foreign country (in addition to the United States), including emerging markets.

Convertible securities — The Fund may invest without limit in convertible securities, which are another category of income generating equity securities. These securities may be of any credit quality, including those rated below investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or those that are unrated but deemed equivalent to non-investment grade. The Fund principally invests in convertible securities that offer favorable upside participation and downside protection relative to the underlying equity security that it is linked to. The Manager primarily utilizes convertible securities to invest in sectors or industries of the market which the Manager believes represent attractive investment opportunities but do not offer attractive yields or diversification through traditional equity or debt securities. The convertible structure enables the Manager to gain this exposure while still realizing income returns and minimizing volatility.

US investment grade fixed income — In managing the Fund’s assets allocated to the investment-grade sector, the Fund will invest principally in debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the US government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and by US corporations. The corporate debt obligations in which the Fund may invest include bonds, notes, debentures, and commercial paper of US companies. The US

41

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies? (continued)

government securities in which the Fund may invest include a variety of securities that are issued or guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the US government, and by various agencies or instrumentalities which have been established or sponsored by the US government. The investment-grade sector of the Fund’s assets may also be invested in mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the US government, its agencies, or instrumentalities or by government sponsored corporations. Other mortgage-backed securities in which the Fund may invest are issued by certain private, non-government entities. Subject to quality limitations, the Fund may also invest in securities which are backed by assets such as receivables on home equity and credit card loans, automobile, mobile home, recreational vehicle and other loans, wholesale dealer floor plans, and leases. Securities purchased by the Fund within this sector will be rated in one of the four highest rating categories by an NRSRO, such as those rated AAA, AA, A, and BBB by the Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) OR Fitch,Inc. (“Fitch”)or Aaa, Aa, A, and Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or will be unrated securities that the Manager determines are of comparable quality.

US high yield fixed income — The Fund will invest its assets that are allocated to the domestic high yield sector primarily in those securities having a liberal and consistent yield and those tending to reduce the risk of market fluctuations. The Fund may invest in domestic corporate debt obligations, including notes, which may be convertible or non-convertible, commercial paper, units consisting of bonds with stock or warrants to buy stock attached, debentures, convertible debentures, zero coupon bonds, and pay-in-kind securities (“PIKs”). The Fund will invest in both rated and unrated bonds. The rated bonds that the Fund may purchase in this sector will generally be rated BB or lower by S&P or Fitch, Ba or lower by Moody’s, or similarly rated by another NRSRO. Unrated bonds may be more speculative in nature than rated bonds.

International developed markets fixed income — The international developed markets fixed income sector invests primarily in fixed income securities of issuers organized or having a majority of their assets or deriving a majority of their operating income in international developed markets. These fixed income securities may include foreign government securities, debt obligations of foreign companies, and securities issued by supranational entities.

Emerging markets fixed income — The Fund may purchase securities of issuers in any foreign country, developed and underdeveloped. These investments may include direct obligations of issuers located in emerging markets countries. Fixed income securities in the emerging markets fixed income sector may include foreign government securities, debt obligations of foreign companies, and securities issued by supranational entities.

Other strategies

The Fund may use leverage by borrowing through its line of credit. The Fund reserves the right, if the Manager believes that market conditions are appropriate, to use leverage to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act requirements. The Fund also may borrow money as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, including the payment of dividends and the settlement of securities transactions, which otherwise might require untimely dispositions of Fund securities. The Fund may use a variety of additional strategies that would be viewed as potentially adding leverage to the portfolio. These include the sale of credit default swap (CDS) contracts and the use of other derivatives instruments and reverse repurchase agreements.

The Fund may, but is under no obligation to, from time to time employ a variety of investment techniques to hedge against fluctuations in the price of portfolio securities, to enhance total return or to provide a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities. Some of these techniques, such as purchases of put and call options, options on stock indices and stock index futures and entry into certain credit derivatives transactions, may be used as hedges against or substitutes for investments in equity securities. Other techniques such as the purchase of interest rate futures and entry into transactions involving interest rate swaps, options on interest rate swaps, and certain credit derivatives are hedges against or substitutes for investments in debt securities. The Fund might use CDS contracts to limit or to reduce the risk exposure of the Fund to defaults of the issuer or issuers of its holdings (i.e., to reduce risk when the Fund owns or has exposure to such securities). The Fund also might use CDS contracts to create or vary exposure to securities or markets. The aggregate notional amount (typically, the principal amount of the reference security or securities) of the Fund’s investments in the CDS contracts will be limited to 15% of its total net assets. The Fund may also use swaps, financial futures contracts, options on financial futures, or options based on either an index of long-term securities or on equity securities whose prices, in the opinion of the Manager, correlate with the prices of the Fund’s investments.

The Fund may also invest in collateralized mortgage obligations and real estate mortgage investment conduits; bank loans (rated below investment grade); Brady Bonds; other investment companies, including open-end, closed-end, or unregistered investment companies; master

limited partnerships; repurchase agreements; privately-placed debt and other securities whose resale is restricted under applicable securities laws, restricted securities, including securities eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act; short-term investments (including time deposits, certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances issued by a US commercial bank; commercial paper and short-term corporate obligations with the highest quality rating by a NRSRO or, if not so rated, of comparable quality as determined by the Manager; US government securities; and repurchase agreements collateralized by securities); options on foreign currencies; forward foreign currency contracts; relatively new or unseasoned companies which are in their early stages of development, or small companies positioned in new and emerging industries where the opportunity for rapid growth is expected to be above average; securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis.

The Fund may invest in other investment companies which can include open-end funds, closed-end funds, unit investment trusts and business development companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, SEC rules thereunder and exemptions thereto.

The Fund may invest up to 10% of the value of its net assets in illiquid securities.

In response to unfavorable market conditions, the Fund may make temporary investments in cash or cash equivalents or other high-quality, short-term instruments. These investments may not be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. To the extent that the Fund holds such instruments, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. Further, the Fund is authorized to borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary defensive purposes such as the clearance of portfolio transactions, the payment of dividends or in connection with tender offers or shares repurchases.

The Fund may from time to time engage in short sales of securities, for investment or for hedging purposes. The Fund may also sell short individual stocks that the Fund expects to underperform other stocks which the Fund holds. For hedging purposes, the Fund may purchase or sell short futures contracts on global equity indexes. In addition, the Fund may loan up to 25% of its assets to qualified broker/dealers or institutional investors for their use relating to short sales or other securities transactions. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to banks or dealers which meet the creditworthiness standards established by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. For additional information regarding Securities Lending, see Note 8 in “Notes to financial statements.”

Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (MIMAK) serves as sub-advisor to the Fund’s investment manager and provides asset allocation services. MIMAK has primary day-to-day responsibility for managing the Fund, and may allocate assets to its affiliate, Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL), to invest in real estate investment trust securities and other equity asset classes to which MIMAK may allocate assets. In addition, MIMAK may seek investment advice and recommendations relating to fixed income securities from the Manager’s affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (MIMEL) and MIMGL. MIMAK may also permit MIMGL, and Macquarie Funds Management Hong Kong Limited (MFMHKL) to execute Fund equity security trades on behalf of MIMAK. MIMAK may also permit MIMEL and MIMGL to exercise investment discretion and perform trading for fixed income securities in certain markets where MIMAK believes it will be beneficial to utilize MIMEL’s or MIMGL’s specialized market knowledge, and MIMAK may also seek quantitative support from MIMGL.

What are the principal risks of investing in the Fund?

Investing in any closed-end fund involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Fund will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio. An investment in the Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. The Fund’s principal risks include:

Net asset value discount risk — The risk that a closed-end investment company will trade at a discount from its net asset value (NAV).

Market risk — The risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market — such as the stock or bond market — will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.

Active management and selection risk — The risk that the securities selected by a fund’s management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The securities and sectors selected may vary from the securities and sectors included in the relevant index.

What are the principal risks of investing in the Fund? (continued)

Credit risk — The risk that an issuer of a debt security, including a governmental issuer or an entity that insures a bond, may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay principal in a timely manner. For a further discussion of credit and market risks, see Note 9 in “Notes to financial statements.”

Equity risk — The risk that stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds.

Issuer risk — The risk that the value of an issuer’s securities may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services.

Interest rate risk — The risk that the prices of bonds and other fixed income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. 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. Bonds and other fixed income securities with longer maturities or duration generally are more sensitive to interest rate changes. A fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low interest rates.

Liquidity risk — The possibility that investments cannot be readily sold within seven calendar days at approximately the price at which a fund has valued them. Where registration is required to sell a security, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expenses, and a considerable period may elapse between the decision to sell and the time the fund may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell. Restricted securities for which no market exists and other illiquid investments are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved and periodically reviewed by the Trustees of the fund.

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

Foreign risk — The risk that foreign securities (particularly 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.

Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.

Leveraging risk — The risk that certain fund transactions using leveraging techniques may give rise to leverage, causing a fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged, which may result in increased losses to a fund. Leveraging techniques, such as borrowing, will pose certain risks for shareholders, including the possibility of higher volatility of both the NAV and market value of the shares. There can be no assurance that a fund would be able to realize a higher net return on its investment portfolio than the then current dividend interest rate on any senior securities. In such event, the fund leveraged capital structure would result in a lower yield to the shareholders than if the fund were not leveraged. Accordingly, the effect of leverage in a declining market is likely to be a greater decline in the NAV of shares than if a fund were not leveraged, which may be reflected in a greater decline in the market price of the shares.

Real estate industry risk — This risk includes, among others: possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes, and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the cleanup of, and liability to third parties resulting from, environmental problems; casualty for condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates. REITs are subject to substantial cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the risk of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Internal Revenue Code), or other similar statutes in non-US countries and/or to maintain exemptions from the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Table of Contents

Call options risk — The risk of potential losses if equity markets or an individual equity security do not move as expected and the potential for greater losses than if these techniques had not been used. By writing covered call options, the fund will not benefit from any potential increases in the value of a fund asset above the exercise price, but will bear the risk of declines in the value of the asset. Writing call options may expose a fund to additional costs. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value.

Derivatives risk — 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 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).

Counterparty risk — The risk that a counterparty to a derivatives contract (such as a swap, futures, or options contract) or a repurchase agreement may fail to perform its obligations under the contract or agreement due to, among other reasons, financial difficulties (such as a bankruptcy or reorganization).

Loans and other indebtedness risk — The risk that a 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 and the lending institution. A fund’s ability to sell its loans or to realize their full value upon sale may also be impaired due to the lack of an active trading market, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, contractual restrictions, and extended trade settlement periods. In addition, certain loans in which a fund invests may not be considered securities. A fund therefore may not be able to rely upon the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws with respect to these investments.

Currency risk — The risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies and between various foreign currencies may cause the value of an investment to decline.

Forward foreign currency risk — The use of forward foreign currency contracts may substantially change a fund’s exposure to currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as the portfolio manager expects. The use of these investments as a hedging technique to reduce a fund’s exposure to currency risks may also reduce its ability to benefit from favorable changes in currency exchange rates.

Lower rated convertible securities and preferred stock risk — The risk that lower rated convertible securities and preferred stock are subject to a more limited and less liquid secondary trading market, greater price volatility, and reduced creditworthiness of issuers. The lack of a liquid secondary market for certain securities also may make it more difficult for a fund to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of pricing its portfolio and calculating its NAV. Lower quality convertible securities and preferred stocks may have speculative elements or characteristics; their future cannot be considered as well assured and earnings and asset protection may be moderate or poor in comparison to investment grade securities. In addition, such lower quality securities face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial or economic conditions, which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely payments.

Securities lending risk — The risk that in a securities lending transaction, the borrower would fail financially at a time when the value of the security increases. In addition, should the borrower become insolvent, a fund could be faced with loss of rights in the collateral. For additional discussion on Securities lending risk, see Note 10 in “Notes to financial statements.”

IBOR risk — The risk that changes related to the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or similar interbank offered rates (“IBORs,” such as the Euro Overnight Index Average (EONIA)) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference LIBOR or a similar rate. While some instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR or a similar rate is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate setting methodology, not all instruments have such fallback provisions and the effectiveness of replacement rates is uncertain. The abandonment of LIBOR and similar rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference such rates, especially those that do not have fallback provisions. The use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy performance.
