Portfolio management review

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

Dec. 9, 2008

The managers of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund provided the answers to the questions below as a review of the Fund’s activities for the fiscal year that ended Nov. 30, 2008.

How did the Fund perform during the 12 months ending Nov. 30, 2008?

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund returned -42.25% at net asset value and -54.14% at market price (both figures reflect all distributions reinvested) for the fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 2008. By comparison, the Fund’s all-equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned -38.09%. Complete annualized performance for Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund is shown in the table on page 4.

Please discuss the investment environment during the year ended Nov. 30, 2008.

The annual period presented an especially challenging investment environment, as fixed income and equity investors contended with the dual threats posed by declining economic conditions and a credit crisis that grew in intensity as the period progressed.

Early during the fiscal year, declining economic conditions dominated most investors’ attention. Unemployment figures rose, reflecting a deteriorating job market, and inflationary pressures mounted primarily because of higher oil and food prices. Oil prices peaked at more than $140 a barrel before finally declining during the summer months. In our opinion, most investors then focused their attention on the drop in home prices, which had begun to overshadow most other economic indicators.

Lower home prices caused a general loss of confidence that in our view, effectively crippled the global credit markets, making credit extremely difficult to obtain for individuals or corporations. One result was pressure on financial institutions that set off a series of events beginning with the March 2008 bailout of Bear Stearns by J.P. Morgan (with assistance from the Federal Reserve).

Similar strains led Lehman Brothers to file for bankruptcy. Merrill Lynch was sold to Bank of America, while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were converted from independent entities to a conservatorship run by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Each of these events had roots in the credit markets, and contributed to significant weakness across the vast majority of equity markets around the world in our opinion.

In the United States, the Federal Reserve took an array of steps during the fiscal year in an attempt to curtail the financial crisis during the period, which included lowering the fed funds rate on a total of seven separate occasions, and establishing a plan for biweekly emergency auctions of loans to banks. Along with central banks around the world, the Fed also provided certain markets with significantly increased liquidity early in the fiscal year. In a dramatic departure from normal operations, the Fed (in coordination with the Treasury Department) facilitated a number of mergers and acquisitions, and took the unprecedented step of injecting capital directly into certain banks and other financial institutions as liquidity deteriorated.

What factors influenced the Fund’s fiscal year performance?

The Fund’s objective is to seek current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. In managing the Fund, we pursue these objectives by investing broadly in a diverse range of income-generating securities from around the globe. Many of the asset types held in the Fund have traditionally not moved in lock step with each other. This approach generally provides the Fund with a measure of diversification. However, the broadly negative market conditions during the year took a toll on the Fund’s total return performance. That is, many asset classes that tend to rise or fall independently faced declines together during the period.

Although certain sectors of the fixed income markets experienced declines during the year, the Fund’s exposure to fixed income securities generally anchored its performance. For example, exposure to Treasurys and agency securities, areas that performed well, buoyed the

Portfolio management review

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

Fund amid the massive flight toward higher-quality investments. Even the high yield bond sector, traditionally a more volatile asset class among fixed-income securities, fared better than equity assets on a total return basis. High yield bonds declined on the year, but did help the Fund’s total return performance when comparing it to equity market indices.

Unfortunately, the Fund’s position in convertible bonds, international value equities, and domestic and global real estate investment trusts (REITs) performed worse than the S&P 500 Index. Domestic REITs and international value equities declined by almost 50% during the year. REITs held up quite nicely throughout much of the period, but fell precipitously during the last several months. We believe the fall was mostly due to the ongoing credit crisis and the unwinding of leverage by REITs (that is, the reduction of debt by rapidly selling assets).

Broadly speaking, international stocks were overcome by many of the same issues that affected the U.S. equity markets. For U.S.-based investors, a late rally in the U.S. dollar had a detrimental effect on international equity markets, when non-U.S.-derived returns were converted into U.S. dollars.

The Fund’s worst-performing sector during the year was global REITs. Like the U.S. REIT market, global real estate markets faced a massive period of deleveraging, which took its toll on both real estate values and business models, and severely impacted the global REIT sector.

What was your strategy during the fiscal year?

Overall, we maintained a defensive position in the Fund, reflecting our cautious outlook for the global economy. For example, within large-cap value equities, the largest portion of the Fund, we emphasized sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples. Both of these sectors tend to generate relatively predictable earnings, and therefore have traditionally held up well during challenging economic conditions. For similar reasons, we sought individual stocks with what we believed to be resilient balance sheets and stable cash flows. However, our heavy weighting in value equities, as well as several poor stock selections, affected performance negatively.

Within the international value equity space, our allocation to the poor-performing financial sector became reduced over the course of the year via declining security prices. This sector, which dominates the value-oriented portion of the MSCI EAFE Index (an index that measures equity market performance across developed market countries in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East), was the worst performing industry sector during the year. The materials sector was also hit hard during the year, and we believed that, despite attractive fundamentals, many materials-sector stocks did not justify the expensive valuations. We therefore maintained an underweight position.

Our general strategy across all fixed income sectors from the start of the fiscal year involved increasing Fund positions in high-quality, defensive securities in an effort to avoid the most treacherous market conditions. We increased the Fund’s position in government securities, including Treasurys and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). We also gradually increased the Fund’s position in high-grade corporate bonds during the year. We raised our positions in such holdings by paring back the Fund’s exposure to lower-quality bond holdings. For example, we generally raised exposure to “safer” agency mortgage-backed securities during the year, in place of non-agency MBS.

Although our strategy involved moving toward a more conservative posture, we also cautiously added lower-quality credit exposure after the market reached a level at which we felt long-term value opportunities existed.

Within the high yield market, we implemented a number of strategies to mitigate the risky environment. For example, we increased the Fund’s positions in asset-rich industries such as utilities, energy, and telecommunications. We began to favor corporations with more tangible assets, positive free cash flow, and adequate liquidity. We also favored senior bonds — those with income streams that take priority over other securities that the company issues — and reduced the Fund’s exposure to lower-rated bonds (such as those rated CCC by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization). We increased the Fund’s weighting in secured bank

debt and, given our view of extremely difficult market conditions, actively sold certain positions.

Within the REIT sector (both global and domestic), we maintained a greater emphasis on companies that had long-term contractual leases, as well as those that derived more of their income from leasing activity. We believe this approach inherently provides real estate companies the potential to generate more stable income than does the development of new real estate projects. Our defensive strategy also included limiting the Fund’s exposure to REITs; we held the Fund’s allocation to REITs well below its typical range 15% to 20%, and avoided companies with too much development in their pipelines or significant near-term debt maturities.

Lastly, we added to our convertible bond positions early in the fiscal year. We consider these securities to generally be less volatile than stocks, but we also believe they can provide gains similar to equities in the event of a market rebound. However, we did not anticipate that hedge funds would come under considerable pressure from lenders for more collateral and from investors seeking to withdraw funds. Hedge funds began selling convertible bonds in earnest during October. They accounted for a large part of demand, and relatively few other buyers focused on the market, which meant that price swings were particularly volatile.

Performance summary

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

The performance data quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Funds that invest in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise, and an investor can lose principal. Please obtain the performance data for the most recent month end by calling 800 523-1918.

A rise or fall in interest rates can have a significant impact on bond prices and the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund.

Fund performance     
Average annual total returns     
Through Nov. 30, 2008  1 year Lifetime
At market price  -54.14% -49.34%
At net asset value  -42.25% -34.28%

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

High yielding noninvestment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds. Adverse conditions may affect the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal on these securities.

Funds that invest in REITs are subject to many of the risks associated with direct real estate ownership and, as such, may be adversely affected by declines in real-estate values and general and local economic conditions.

Foreign investments are subject to risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, such as currency, economic and political risks, and different accounting standards.

The “Fund performance” table and the “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Returns reflect reinvestment of all distributions. 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 policy.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

November 30, 2008

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. The Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol DEX.

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

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation — Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the NYSE on the valuation date. Securities 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 does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Other long-term debt securities, credit default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. 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. Short-term debt securities having less than 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investment Companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Financial futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. Generally, index swap contracts and 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-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities at 4:00 p.m. 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 new events, may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”).

Federal Income Taxes — 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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

Distributions — The Fund has a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund declares and pays monthly distributions and is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from ordinary income (net investment income and short-term capital gains). The balance of the distribution then comes from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted and, if necessary, a return of capital.

Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may invest in a pooled cash account along with other members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Fund’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. 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 isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities, which are due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices of debt securities. For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in realized gains (losses) 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Other — Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some 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 non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest income. 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 non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from

26


1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

The Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in custodian fees on the Statement of operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.”

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

In accordance with the terms of its Investment Management Agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment advisor, an annual fee of 1.00% (calculated daily) of the adjusted average weekly net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment management fees, adjusted average weekly net assets excludes the line of credit liability.

Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays DSC fees based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.0050% of the first $30 billion; 0.0045% of the next $10 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The fees payable to DSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all Funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund was charged $10,147 for these services.

At November 30, 2008, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

Investment management fee payable to DMC  $127,398
Fees and other expenses payable to DSC  639
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates*  13,315

* DMC, as part of its administrative services, pays operating expenses on behalf of the Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic basis. Such expenses include items such as printing of shareholder reports, fees for audit, legal and tax services, stock exchange fees, custodian fees and Trustees’ fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, the Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to the Fund by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund was charged $12,264 for internal legal and tax 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 DSC are officers and/or Trustees of the Fund. These officers and trustees are paid no compensation by the Fund.

3. Investments

For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund made purchases of $201,483,313 and sales of $184,832,653 of investment securities other than short-term investments.

At November 30, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $246,024,083. At November 30, 2008, net unrealized depreciation was $80,857,110, of which $934,056 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $81,791,166 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.

Effective December 1, 2007, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the operability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets

Level 2 – inputs are observable, directly or indirectly

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Series’ investments by the above FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of November 30, 2008:

     Securities        Derivatives
Level 1  $ 69,898,295   $      —
Level 2  90,764,707     19,475
Level 3    4,503,971
Total  $ 165,166,973 $19,475

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

  Securities
Balance as of 11/30/07  $ 12,272,675
Net realized gain (loss)  (272,082 )
Net change in unrealized   
     appreciation/depreciation  (2,334,354 )
Net purchases, sales and settlements  (2,781,024 )

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, distributions from net gains on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the year ended November 30, 2008 and the period June 29, 2007 to November 30, 2007 was as follows:

         Year        6/29/07*
   Ended  to
   11/30/08  11/30/07
Ordinary income    $ 8,332,471 $ 4,027,580
Return of capital    13,699,286     1,480,360
Total  $ 22,031,757 $ 5,507,940

*Date of commencement of operations.

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of November 30, 2008, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

Shares of beneficial interest        $ 231,221,975
Capital loss carryforwards    (36,226,579)
Other temporary differences  (31,920)
Unrealized depreciation of investments,   
     foreign currencies and swap contracts    (81,563,486)
Net assets  $ 113,399,990

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, market discount and premium on debt instruments, straddles and tax treatment of CDS contracts.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, foreign futures contracts, market discount and premium on debt instruments, CDS contracts and paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund recorded the following reclassifications:

Paid in capital        $(80,599)
Accumulated net realized loss  1,057,728
Distributions in excess of net investment income  (977,129)

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards of $36,226,579 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards remaining at November 30, 2008 will expire as follows: $1,676,026 expires in 2015 and $34,550,553 expires in 2016.

6. Capital Stock

Shares obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, LLC, in the open market. There were no shares issued under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan for the year ended November 30, 2008 and the period June 29, 2007 to November 30, 2007.

For the year ended November 30, 2008 and the period June 29, 2007 to November 30, 2007, the Fund issued 0 and 12,924,200 common shares, respectively.

The fund did not repurchase any shares under the Fund’s Share Repurchase Program during the year ended November 30, 2008.

7. Line of Credit

Effective July 2, 2008, the Fund entered into a $50,000,000 Credit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon that expires on July 1, 2009. On July 22, 2008, the Fund began borrowing under the Credit Agreement. During the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund’s outstanding borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Agreement ranged from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000. Depending on market conditions, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the future.

At November 30, 2008, the par value of loans outstanding was $40,000,000 at a variable interest rate of 2.14%. During the period July 22, 2008 to November 30, 2008, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $44,924,242 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.60%. Interest on borrowings is based on a variable short-term rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee is computed at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Fund’s portfolio.

8. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. 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 use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in market 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 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 limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. 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 unrealized gain (loss) is included in receivables and other assets net of liabilities on the statement of net assets. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at November 30, 2008.

9. Financial Futures Contracts

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge its existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on

28


9. Financial Futures Contracts (continued)

which the contract is traded. Subsequent 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 daily 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. The unrealized gain (loss) is included in receivables and other assets net of liabilities on the statement of net assets. No financial futures contracts were outstanding at November 30, 2008.

10. Written Options

During the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund entered into options contracts in accordance with its investment objectives. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

Transactions in options written during the year ended November 30, 2008 for the Fund were as follows:

  Number of contracts       Premiums
Options outstanding       
     November 30, 2007    100 $ 34,699
Options written  5,594 1,333,967
Options exercised    (1,071)   (379,176)
Options expired  (2,748) (465,027)
Options terminated in closing       
     purchase transactions  (1,875)   (524,463)
Options outstanding at     
     November 30, 2008  $

11. Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts and CDS contracts in accordance with its investment objectives. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Fund invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Fund may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Fund on favorable terms. 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.

An interest rate swap involves payments received by the Fund from another party based on a variable or floating interest rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest rate swap can also work in reverse with the Fund receiving payments based on a fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts.

Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract.

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 referenced security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty.

During the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses on swap contracts. Upon payment, such amounts are recorded as realized losses 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 on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. 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. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund did not enter into any CDS contracts as a seller of protection.

CDS may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. If the Fund enters into a CDS contract as a purchaser of protection and no credit event occurs, its exposure is limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty.

Because there is no organized market for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund

Notes to financial statements

11. Swap Contracts (continued)

terminated its position in the CDS agreement. 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 statements of net assets.

12. Securities Lending

The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with BNY Mellon. With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (the “Collective Trust”) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust invests in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. The Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Fund may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Fund would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall. During the year ended October 31, 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL DBT II Liquidation Trust. The Fund can also accept U.S. 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 change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the 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 Funds, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At November 30, 2008, the value of the securities on loan was $13,887,694, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of security collateral of $198,361, and cash collateral of $14,649,418. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the statement of net assets under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

13. Credit and Market Risks

The Fund borrows through its line of credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher degrees of volatility because the Fund’s net asset value could be subject to fluctuations in short term interest rates and changes in market value of portfolio securities attributable to the leverage.

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 a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which carry ratings of BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and/or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 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 underlying 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 U.S. 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 obligations 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 affect 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.

30


13. Credit and Market Risks (continued)

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 year ended November 30, 2008. The Fund’s 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 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 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. Under the Fund’s 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities policy, the Fund may not invest in an illiquid security if at the time of purchase, the Fund holds more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. 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 Fund’s Board of Trustees 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 assets. 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 illiquid securities have been identified on the statement of net assets.

14. 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.

15. Tax Information (Unaudited)

The information set forth below is for the Fund’s fiscal year as required by federal income tax laws. Shareholders, however, must report distributions on a calendar year basis for income tax purposes, which may include distributions for portions of two fiscal years of a fund. Accordingly, the information needed by shareholders for income tax purposes will be sent to them in January of each year. Please consult your tax advisor for proper treatment of this information.

For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund designates distributions paid during the year as follows:

(A)       (B)                        
Long-Term Ordinary (C)    
Capital Gain Income Return Total (D)
Distributions Distributions*   of Capital Distributions Qualifying
(Tax Basis)   (Tax Basis) (Tax Basis)   (Tax Basis) Dividends1
0% 37.82% 62.18% 100.00% 9.03%

(A), (B) and (C) are based on a percentage of the Fund’s total distributions.

(D) is based on percentage of ordinary income distributions of the Fund.
1Qualifying dividends represent dividends, which qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction.

*For the year ended November 30, 2008, certain dividends paid by the Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. The Fund intends to designate up to a maximum amount $2,207,880 to be taxed at maximum rate of 15%. Complete information will be computed and reported in conjunction with your 2008 Form 1099-DIV.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (the “Fund”) as of November 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period June 29, 2007 (commencement of operations) through November 30, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund at November 30, 2008, the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period June 29, 2007 (commencement of operations) through November 30, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Total $0.768 $ 0.936 $— $ 1.704

Please note that the information in the preceding chart is for book purposes only. Shareholders should be aware the tax treatment of distributions may differ from their book treatment. The tax treatment of distributions will be set forth in a Form 1099-DIV.

In January 2009 the Fund reduced the monthly distribution amount from $0.1420 per share to $0.1025 per share. The Fund continues to evaluate its monthly distribution in light of ongoing economic and market conditions and may change the amount of the monthly distributions in the future.

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 BNY Mellon Investor Services (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 check mailed directly to you (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing 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 re-invest 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.

36


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 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 U.S. 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.

All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at BNY Mellon Investor Services, P.O. Box 3338, South Hackensack, NJ 07606-1938; telephone: 800-851-9677.

Notice Filing with the National Futures Association

In the future, the Fund may invest in futures contracts. It should be noted that the Fund has filed with the National Futures Association a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” (“CPO”) under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to the Fund’s operation. Accordingly, the Fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO.

     d. An understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and

     e. An understanding of audit committee functions.

The Audit Committee has determined that the independent auditors’ provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.


Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

     The registrant has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The members of the registrant’s Audit Committee are Thomas L. Bennett, Thomas F. Madison, Janet L. Yeomans and J. Richard Zecher.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

     The registrant has formally delegated to its investment adviser(s) (the “Adviser”) the ability to make all proxy voting decisions in relation to portfolio securities held by the registrant. If and when proxies need to be voted on behalf of the registrant, the Adviser will vote such proxies pursuant to its Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Adviser has established a Proxy Voting Committee (the “Committee”) which is responsible for overseeing the Adviser’s proxy voting process for the registrant. One of the main responsibilities of the Committee is to review and approve the Procedures to ensure that the Procedures are designed to allow the Adviser to vote proxies in a manner consistent with the goal of voting in the best interests of the registrant.

     In order to facilitate the actual process of voting proxies, the Adviser has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS/RiskMetrics”), a wholly owned subsidiary of RiskMetrics Group ("RiskMetrics"), to analyze proxy statements on behalf of its clients and vote proxies generally in accordance with the Procedures.) to analyze proxy statements on behalf of the registrant and other Adviser clients and vote proxies generally in accordance with the Procedures. The Committee is responsible for overseeing ISS/RiskMetrics’s proxy voting activities. If a proxy has been voted for the registrant, ISS//RiskMetrics will create a record of the vote. By no later than August 31 of each year, information (if any) regarding how the registrant voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recently disclosed 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge (i) through the registrant’s website at http://www.delawareinvestments.com; and (ii) on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.


     The Procedures contain a general guideline that recommendations of company management on an issue (particularly routine issues) should be given a fair amount of weight in determining how proxy issues should be voted. However, the Adviser will normally vote against management’s position when it runs counter to its specific Proxy Voting Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and the Adviser will also vote against management’s recommendation when it believes that such position is not in the best interests of the registrant.

     As stated above, the Procedures also list specific Guidelines on how to vote proxies on behalf of the registrant. Some examples of the Guidelines are as follows: (i) generally vote for shareholder proposals asking that a majority or more of directors be independent; (ii) generally vote against proposals to require a supermajority shareholder vote; (iii) votes on mergers and acquisitions should be considered on a case-by-case basis, determining whether the transaction enhances shareholder value; (iv) generally vote against proposals to create a new class of common stock with superior voting rights; (v) generally vote re-incorporation proposals on a case-by-case basis; (vi) votes with respect to equity-based compensation plans are generally determined on a case-by-case basis; and (vii) generally vote for proposals requesting reports on the level of greenhouse gas emissions from a company’s operations and products.

     Because the registrant has delegated proxy voting to the Adviser, the registrant is not expected to encounter any conflict of interest issues regarding proxy voting and therefore does not have procedures regarding this matter. However, the Adviser does have a section in its Procedures that addresses the possibility of conflicts of interest. Most proxies which the Adviser receives on behalf of the registrant are voted by ISS/RiskMetrics in accordance with the Procedures. Because almost all registrant proxies are voted by ISS/RiskMetrics pursuant to the pre-determined Procedures, it normally will not be necessary for the Adviser to make an actual determination of how to vote a particular proxy, thereby largely eliminating conflicts of interest for the Adviser during the proxy voting process. In the very limited instances where the Adviser is considering voting a proxy contrary to ISS/RiskMetrics’s recommendation, the Committee will first assess the issue to see if there is any possible conflict of interest involving the Adviser or affiliated persons of the Adviser. If a member of the Committee has actual knowledge of a conflict of interest, the Committee will normally use another independent third party to do additional research on the particular proxy issue in order to make a recommendation to the Committee on how to vote the proxy in the best interests of the registrant. The Committee will then review the proxy voting materials and recommendation provided by ISS/RiskMetrics and the independent third party to determine how to vote the issue in a manner which the Committee believes is consistent with the Procedures and in the best interests of the registrant.

DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Individual portfolio managers may perform investment management services for other funds or accounts similar to those provided to the Funds and the investment action for such other fund or account and the Funds may differ. For example, an account or fund may be selling a security, while another account or Fund may be purchasing or holding the same security. As a result, transactions executed for one fund or account may adversely affect the value of securities held by another fund, account or Fund. Additionally, the management of multiple other funds or accounts and the Funds may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as a portfolio manager must allocate time and effort to multiple funds or accounts and the Funds. A portfolio manager may discover an investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account or fund. The investment opportunity may be limited, however, so that all funds or accounts for which the investment would be suitable may not be able to participate. The Manager has adopted procedures designed to allocate investments fairly across multiple funds or accounts.

Two of the accounts managed by the portfolio managers have a performance-based fee. This compensation structure presents a potential conflict of interest. The portfolio manager has an incentive to manage this account so as to enhance its performance, to the possible detriment of other accounts for which the investment manager does not receive a performance-based fee.

A portfolio manager’s management of personal accounts also may present certain conflicts of interest. While Delaware’s code of ethics is designed to address these potential conflicts, there is no guarantee that it will do so.


COMPENSATION STRUCTURE

Each portfolio’s manager’s compensation consists of the following:

BASE SALARY – Each named portfolio manager receives a fixed base salary. Salaries are determined by a comparison to industry data prepared by third parties to ensure that portfolio manager salaries are in line with salaries paid at peer investment advisory firms.

BONUS – (Mr. Nutt only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors and objective factors. The primary objective factor is the performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Performance is measured as the result of one's standing in the Lipper peer groups on a one-year, three-year and five-year basis. Three-year and five-year performance is weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

(Mr. Andres and Mr. Zenouzi only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Performance is measured as the result of one’s standing in the Lipper peer groups on a one-year, three-year and five-year basis. Three-year and five-year performance is weighed more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

(Mr. Gray only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Performance is measured as the result of one’s standing in the Lipper peer groups on a one-year, three-year and five-year basis. Three-year and five-year performance are weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.


Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

(Mr. Chen only) There is a base bonus that is guaranteed. Any additional bonus over the base bonus is 100% based on subjective factors. After certain performance objectives are reached the bonus pool will increase above the base bonus. The primary objective is the performance of the fund relative to the Emerging Markets Lipper peer group. Performance is measured as the result of one's standing in the Lipper peer group on a one-year, three-year and five-year basis. Three year performance is weighted more heavily and there is no award above the base bonus for performance below the 40th percentile for a given time period. There is a sliding scale for performance achievements above the 40th percentile.

(Mr. Chow and Mr. Perkins only) Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus, which is based on quantitative and qualitative factors. There is one pool for bonus payments for the fixed income department. The amount of the pool for bonus payments is first determined by mathematical equation based on all assets managed (including investment companies, insurance product-related accounts and other separate accounts), management fees and related expenses (including fund waiver expenses) for registered investment companies, pooled vehicles, and managed separate accounts. Generally, 50%-70% of the bonus is quantitatively determined. For more senior portfolio managers, a higher percentage of the bonus is quantitatively determined. For investment companies, each manager is compensated according the Fund’s Lipper peer group percentile ranking on a one-year and three-year basis, equally weighted. For managed separate accounts the portfolio managers are compensated according to the composite percentile ranking against the Frank Russell and Callan Associates databases on a one-year and three-year basis, with three-year performance more heavily weighted. There is no objective award for a fund that falls below the 50th percentile over the three-year period. There is a sliding scale for investment companies that are ranked above the 50th percentile. The remaining 30%-50% portion of the bonus is discretionary as determined by Delaware Investments and takes into account subjective factors.

(Mr. Early and Mr. Loome only) Due to transitioning of responsibilities of these managers, the managers’ bonuses for the past year were guaranteed. It is anticipated that going forward an objective component will be added that is reflective of account performance relative to an appropriate peer group or database.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION – Each named portfolio manager is eligible to participate in the Lincoln National Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which is available to all employees whose income exceeds a designated threshold. The Plan is a non-qualified unfunded deferred compensation plan that permits participating employees to defer the receipt of a portion of their cash compensation.

STOCK OPTION INCENTIVE PLAN/EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN - Portfolio managers may be awarded options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units relating to the underlying shares of common stock of Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. pursuant to the terms the Amended and Restated Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan. In addition, certain managers may be awarded restricted stock units, or “performance shares,” in Lincoln National Corporation. Delaware Investments U.S., Inc., is an indirect subsidiary of Delaware Management Holdings, Inc. Delaware Management Holdings, Inc., is in turn an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation.


The Amended and Restated Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan was established in 2001 in order to provide certain employees of the Manager with a more direct means of participating in the growth of the Manager. Under the terms of the plan, stock options typically vest in 25% increments on a four-year schedule and expire ten years after issuance. Subject to the terms of the plan, restricted stock units typically vest in 25% increments on a four-year schedule, and shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock awards will be issued after vesting. Awards are granted under the plan from time to time by the investment manager in its full discretion. Awards may be based in part on seniority. The fair market value of the shares of Delaware Investments U.S., Inc., is normally determined as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Shares issued upon the exercise of such options or vesting of restricted stock units must be held for six months and one day, after which time the shareholder may put them back to the issuer or the shares may be called back from the shareholder from time to time, as the case may be.

Portfolio managers who do not participate in the Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Stock Option Plan are eligible to participate in Lincoln’s Long-Term Incentive Plan, which is designed to provide a long-term incentive to officers of Lincoln. Under the plan, a specified number of performance shares are allocated to each unit and are awarded to participants in the discretion of their managers in accordance with recommended targets related to the number of employees in a unit that may receive an award and the number of shares to be awarded. The performance shares have a three year vesting schedule and, at the end of the three years, the actual number of shares distributed to those who received awards may be equal to, greater than or less than the amount of the award based on Lincoln’s achievement of certain performance goals relative to a predetermined peer group.

OTHER COMPENSATION - Portfolio managers may also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all employees.
