The key dates pertaining to this Fund liquidation are as follows:

Liquidation Date
Closed to new shareholders and all sales efforts will cease, except for certain investors, such as those in certain advisory programs or certain retirement recordkeeping programs with specific financial intermediaries who have a written arrangement with the Fund’s distributor
Closed to all investors – Will continue to accept purchases from existing shareholders (including reinvested dividends or capital gains) until close of business on this date
Delaware Ivy Government Money Market Fund
On or about July 22, 2022
On or about June 8, 2022
Five days before the Liquidation Date

Retirement accounts held directly on the transfer agency platform within the Fund will be liquidated on or about the Liquidation Date and the proceeds (less mandatory tax withholding) will be mailed to the address of record if no action is taken.

Shareholders may redeem their Fund shares at any time prior to the Liquidation Date. No applicable CDSC will be assessed in connection with any redemption of shares from the liquidating Fund prior to the Liquidation Date. Under the Fund’s right of reinstatement policy, shareholders, including shareholders impacted by the Fund liquidation, have up to 90 days to buy back into Class A shares of another Delaware Fund at net asset value (“NAV”) upon reentry and notification to the liquidating Fund’s transfer agent or the shareholder’s financial intermediary. Shareholders can buy back at NAV into another Delaware Fund only if the shares had been previously subject to a sales load.

For those accounts with automated purchases established, these transactions will cease five days before the Liquidation Date if no action is taken.


For those accounts with automated withdrawals established, these transactions will cease on the Liquidation Date if no action is taken.

Share Class Liquidation

On May 18-19, 2022, the Board unanimously voted and approved a proposal to liquidate and terminate Class E (the “Share Class”) for the Fund.


The Share Class will close to purchases by new investors on or about June 6, 2022 and all sales efforts will cease.  Existing shareholders will be able to continue to make purchases until June 8, 2022.  The Share Class will be liquidated on or about June 10, 2022 (“Liquidation Date”).  By the Liquidation Date, the securities of the Fund necessary to effect the share class liquidation shall be converted to cash or cash equivalents, and the cash associated with the liquidation of the Class E shares (which is an investment option within the Ivy InvestEd 529 Plan), will be transferred to the successor 529 Plan program manager via a conversion process, on or about June 13, 2022.
