Macquarie Asset Management (MAM) is the asset management division of Macquarie Group. MAM is an integrated asset manager across public and private markets offering a diverse range of capabilities, including real assets, real estate, credit, equities and multi-asset solutions. Macquarie Group refers to Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Investment advisory services are provided to the Macquarie ETF Trust Funds by Delaware Management Company, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (MIMBT), a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered investment adviser.
On April 21, 2025, Macquarie Group Limited and Nomura Holding America Inc. (Nomura) announced that they had entered into an agreement for Nomura to acquire Macquarie Asset Management’s US and European public investments business, which comprises Delaware Management Company, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust, and certain of its affiliates. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of these conditions, the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2025.
Macquarie to divest public investments business in US and Europe to Nomura
Frequently asked questions
August 4, 2025
What is happening?
As communicated in April 2025, Macquarie Group Limited announced it had entered into an agreement for Nomura to acquire Macquarie Asset Management’s (MAM) US and European public investments business, comprising equities, fixed income, and multi-asset. Nomura will acquire all of the assets, investment teams, offices, and operating models related to the business, ensuring continuity for clients.
At special meetings held in June 2025, the Macquarie Funds Board, Macquarie ETF Board, and Optimum Funds Board approved and recommended shareholders approve a new investment advisory agreement for each fund that, pending shareholder approval, would go into effect at the closing of the transaction. In addition, the applicable Boards also approved changes to certain fund names in which “Macquarie” would be replaced with “Nomura,” effective at the closing of the transaction. Supplements with this information, along with the anticipated fund names, were filed with the SEC on June 12 for the Macquarie ETF Trust and June 18 for the Macquarie Funds and Optimum Funds.
In mid- to late-July, shareholders will receive proxy materials asking for their vote on matters relevant to their investment. Information regarding the proxy solicitation process can be found on pages 3-5 of this document.
Institutional clients managed by MAM through Macquarie Investment Management Advisers (MIMA), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (MIMBT), will receive notification of the Nomura transaction and be requested to consent to MIMA continuing to provide services for these accounts. In addition, financial intermediary sponsors who offer SMA/wrap/model accounts managed by MAM through Delaware Capital Management (DCM), a series of MIMBT, will receive notification of the Nomura transaction and in certain instances be requested to consent to DCM continuing to provide services for these accounts. Information regarding the consent process can be found on page 5 of this document.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close on or about October 31, 2025.
We recognize that there is a lot of information for you and your clients to absorb as part of this change. Our goal is to keep you informed throughout this period. Over the coming months, we will work to ensure a smooth transition, while remaining focused on continuing to serve the interests of our clients. Your MAM colleagues are here to support you with guidance and information along the way. In the meantime, we have provided FAQs on the following pages.
This FAQ document is not a solicitation of any proxy. When it is available, please read the proxy statement carefully because it will contain important information regarding the proposed new advisory agreement and the transaction. The proxy statement will be available for free on the SEC’s website (sec.gov).
Q&A – General benefits and impact
Q1. What are the benefits of the transaction between Nomura and Macquarie?
We believe that Nomura will be a great home for our business and a strong strategic parent as it takes the public investments business into its next

phase of expansion. Nomura has deep asset management roots and clear ambitions to grow.
Nomura views asset management as a key strategic growth priority, with an ambition to build a scaled global asset management business. Our products will be the cornerstone of these plans and Nomura has expressed its commitment to build upon that strong foundation.
Nomura’s strategy will include investments to grow the fund’s distribution platform and develop new product capabilities. A key priority will be scaling the existing exchange-traded fund (ETF) business established last year, drawing upon Nomura’s experience as the largest ETF provider in Japan. We believe our strengths are highly complementary, and combining our capabilities and expertise will help us achieve our goal of delivering exceptional value to our collective clients.
Q2. Will there be additional fund reorganizations due to the transaction with Nomura?
There are no anticipated additional Macquarie Fund reorganizations as a result of the transaction.
Q3. Will there be any changes to investments, including the funds’ investment strategies and policies, institutional strategies or SMA/wrap/model products?
Shareholders’ investments in the funds will not change as a result of the transaction. Shareholders will still own the same fund shares, and the underlying value of those shares will not change as a result of the transaction. The funds’ investment objectives, policies, and strategies will not change.
The transaction will not impact institutional clients or clients invested in SMA/wrap/model products, and their investment strategies and holdings will not be impacted as a result of the transaction.
Q4. What will the impact be to personnel, including portfolio managers and sales teams?
As part of the transaction, Nomura is taking more than 700 personnel who support the public markets business.
The portfolio managers for the funds, except for certain US leveraged credit funds,1 are expected to continue in those roles following the closing of the transaction. For the US leveraged credit funds, certain investment professionals will remain Macquarie employees after closing and will no longer support these funds. For Macquarie Floating Rate Fund, however, these Macquarie employees are expected to support the Fund through a new sub-advisory arrangement.
In addition, a limited number of other investment professionals who provide services related to the funds’ use of the Macquarie global equity and global fixed income investment platforms and who are employees of a current Macquarie affiliated sub-advisor will remain Macquarie employees after the closing and will no longer support the applicable funds while others will ultimately continue to provide these same investment services after the closing as Nomura employees through participating affiliate arrangements.
The transaction is not expected to change the portfolio managers, except for certain high yield credit team personnel who will remain with Macquarie, or relationship managers who provide services to institutional clients or clients invested in SMA/wrap/model products, or have any impact to our US Wealth sales team.
Q5. What back-office functions will be impacted? Will there be a change to the client service center, transfer agent, etc.?
We are planning a seamless transition as we move from Macquarie to Nomura. For the mutual funds and VIP products, BNY Mellon will continue to be the Custodian and Fund Accountant, and will continue providing sub-transfer agency services. DIFSC will continue to be the Transfer Agent. For the ETFs, JP Morgan Chase will continue as the Custodian, Fund Accountant, and Transfer Agent. For the institutional accounts and SMA/wrap/model products, there are no changes relating to operational support structure. Therefore, there are no anticipated changes to back-office contact information as a result of the transaction.
Q6. What will the transaction’s impact be on the funds’ capital gains?
The sale of Macquarie's US and European public markets business to Nomura is not expected to create a taxable event nor impact capital gains distributed by the funds. Capital gains generated by the funds, if any, will be paid out per the normal course of business as required. There are also no expected tax impacts for institutional clients or the SMA/wrap/model accounts as a result of the transaction.
Q7. Will there be a blackout period for trading?
There will not be a blackout period in advance of the transition to Nomura.

Q8. What is happening to the Premier Models?
The Premier Models are included in the transaction.
Q9. Will fund fees change as a result of the transaction?
It is important to note that the fund fees under the new advisory agreements will remain the same. The fee waivers and expense caps currently in effect will remain the same through their current contractual term.
There are also no fee changes resulting from the transaction for institutional clients or the SMA/wrap/model products.
Q&A – Proxy solicitation for the Macquarie Funds, Macquarie ETFs, and Optimum Funds
Q1. Why are shareholders being asked to vote?
The transition from Macquarie to Nomura will result in a change in control of the investment adviser, Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust. The closing of this transaction will result in the automatic termination of each fund’s investment advisory agreement with DMC, and any sub-advisory agreement, as applicable.
Fund shareholders are being asked to vote to approve new investment advisory agreements that would go into effect at the closing of the transaction.
Q2. When can fund shareholders expect to receive proxy materials and solicitations?
Starting in mid-to-late July, shareholders of record as of July 3, 2025, will receive proxy statements, and each shareholder will be asked to approve new advisory contracts between each applicable fund and DMC.
Solicitation efforts via phone will not start until sufficient time has passed after proxy materials are sent in order to allow shareholders time to receive and review the materials. Shareholders who vote their shares during that time period will not be solicited by phone.
Q3. Which fund shareholders can expect to receive a proxy statement?
All shareholders of record as of July 3, 2025, in the Macquarie Funds, Macquarie ETF Trust Funds, and Optimum Funds will receive a proxy statement.
| For financial professional use only. Not for use with the public. | Ó 2025 Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc. | 3 |
Q4. How can fund shareholders vote?
Shareholders will have three options for voting their shares:
| 1. | Mail back their proxy cards in the postage-paid envelope provided. |
| 2. | Call the dedicated toll-free proxy voting lines of the proxy solicitor, EQ (refer to the proxy ballot for the applicable phone number). Shareholders will be required to provide the control number located on their proxy cards. |
| 3. | Visit the website on their proxy cards. |
Once shareholders vote, they should not receive any further communications from the proxy solicitor regarding their vote on this matter.
Q5. What if fund shareholders have questions about the proposals and how to vote?
If shareholders have any questions about the proposals or how to vote, they may call EQ Fund Solutions (EQ) and a representative will assist them.
| Macquarie Funds | (800) 659-6590 | ||
| Macquarie VIP Funds | (800) 769-7666 | ||
| Macquarie ETF Trust | (800) 431-9645 | ||
| Optimum Funds | (800) 714-3312 |
Q6. How will fund shareholders be contacted to vote on their shares?
In addition to solicitations by mail, solicitations also may be made by telephone, email, text message, other electronic media, or personal contacts. Broker/dealer firms, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries will be asked to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of record.
We expect solicitation efforts will primarily be made by mail, telephone, email, text message, or oral solicitations.
Unvoted shareholder accounts will also receive reminder communications.
Q7. How will fund shareholders who use eDelivery be notified?
Shareholder accounts set to receive materials via eDelivery can expect to receive materials via email. The funds do not have the ability to change instructions on how shareholders have elected to receive materials.
Q8. What are the benefits to shareholders of voting for new management contracts?
Approval of the new advisory contracts will provide:
| · | Continuity of the investment strategies and funds shareholders selected and will allow their fund’s operations to continue uninterrupted after the transaction. |
| · | An organization with greater scale and resources, broader distribution capabilities, and opportunities for organic growth. |
| · | Initiatives such as developing new investment capabilities, scaling of the active ETF platform, and investing in analytics, will build upon the current strengths of the business, and will aim to position our strategies to continue delivering strong, long-term investment performance. |
Q9. What will happen if a fund’s shareholders do not approve new management contracts?
If a fund’s shareholders do not approve a new management contract and the transaction closes, proxy solicitation for that fund will continue until shareholder approval is obtained. If this should happen, DMC will continue to provide advisory services for your fund for a period of up to 150 days following consummation of the transaction pursuant to an interim management agreement.
We are therefore asking shareholders of each fund to approve a new management agreement.
Q10. What is the expected client experience for fund shareholders?
We understand the frustration that comes from proxy actions and solicitations. As a result, we are working to minimize shareholder frustration as much as possible.
To that end, we will have:
| · | one proxy statement to contain details for all Macquarie Funds, both retail and the VIP funds. |
| · | one proxy statement for all Macquarie ETFs. |
| · | one proxy statement for all Optimum Funds. |
Each proxy statement will contain the information necessary for shareholders to vote on the proposal.
| For financial professional use only. Not for use with the public. | Ó 2025 Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc. | 4 |
Q11. How will fund shareholders who hold multiple funds be treated (for example, Household accounts)?
Shareholders who hold multiple Macquarie Funds or whose accounts are combined with a spouse or other adult living within the household should receive only one proxy statement, no matter how many funds are held across those accounts.
While each shareholder account with multiple fund investments may receive one proxy statement, the shareholder will receive a proxy card to register their vote for each fund in which they invest.
For example:
| · | John Smith invests in five Macquarie Funds. He can expect to receive one proxy statement and five proxy cards to register his vote. |
| · | Jane Jones invests in three Macquarie Funds and one Macquarie ETF. She will receive two proxy statements and four proxy cards to vote. |
Q12. What is the control number listed on each proxy statement?
The control number is a randomly generated number that the proxy solicitor uses to identify a shareholder during the proxy campaign. This is not the shareholder’s actual account number and does not contain any personally identifying information.
Q&A – Consent solicitation process – Institutional and SMA/Wrap/Model accounts
Q1. What is happening?
Because this transaction may be deemed an assignment of our agreement with you, we will be requesting your acknowledgement and consent as necessary to continue to provide services for your institutional account and/or SMA/wrap/model account platforms after the close of the transaction. For most clients, if we do not receive a signed written consent from you, we will be unable to continue to manage your account; therefore, please sign and return the acknowledgement and consent as soon as possible.
Q2. What does this mean?
MAM will notify its institutional and SMA “dual contract” clients of the transaction and request them to consent to MIMA or DCM, as applicable, continuing to provide services to those accounts. We plan to include the consultants and financial advisors of record for these clients on communications from MAM so that they will be prepared for questions from clients.
SMA/wrap/model sponsor firms will also be requested to consent to DCM continuing to provide services and take any necessary steps in connection thereto. To the extent necessary, after receiving the consent documentation from MAM, please check with your internal legal and compliance departments regarding next steps and reach out to your MAM relationship contact with any questions.
Q&A – Rebrand
Q1. What is happening?
As part of the transaction, our business will adopt the name of our new parent company, Nomura. Likewise, our investment solutions will be renamed, replacing Macquarie with Nomura. All of our US investment solutions – including our mutual funds, VIPs, ETFs, SMAs, Premier Models, and collective investment trusts (CITs) – will be included in the rebrand. In addition, certain corporate entity names, such as the SEC-registered investment adviser, Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust, will be rebranded “Nomura.”
The new fund names can be found in Appendix A and the new SMA/model names can be found in Appendix B.
Q2. Why is this happening? Didn’t the funds just go through a rebrand?
The prior brand consolidation project aimed to simplify the client experience and bring our investment expertise to the market under a single brand. It was an 18-month effort. The brand consolidation project was well underway and had passed several critical milestones prior to the development of an executable transaction for the sale of the US and European public markets businesses.
Q3. Are any other entity names changing?
Macquarie Investment Management Advisers is expected to be renamed Nomura Investment Management Advisers, and Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust is expected to be renamed Nomura Investment Management Business Trust effective at the closing of the transaction.
Delaware Capital Management will not be renamed.
| For financial professional use only. Not for use with the public. | Ó 2025 Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc. | 5 |
Q4. When and how will the rebrand happen?
Shortly after the transaction closes, US and European investment solutions – including our mutual funds, VIPs, ETFs, SMAs, Premier Models, and CITs – will change their name from “Macquarie” to “Nomura.” All quarterly collateral and client statements will reflect the new fund names.
Q5. Will there be any impact to the product lineup as a result of the rebrand?
No, the rebrand will only impact fund names, the name of the ETF complex, and certain corporate entity names. Additionally, all CUSIPs and ticker symbols will remain the same.
