DFDIX Investment Objective and Strategy
Delaware Mid Cap Growth Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Delaware Group Equity Funds IV.
Investment objective
Delaware Smid Cap Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of growth-oriented companies that its investment manager, Delaware Management Company (Manager), believes have long-term capital appreciation potential and expect to grow faster than the US economy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies (80% policy). For purposes of this Fund, small and mid-market capitalization companies are those companies whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2500 Growth Index. The index listed above is used for purposes of determining range and not for targeting portfolio management. As of June 30, 2018, the Russell 2500 Growth Index had a market capitalization range between $51 million and $14.5 billion.
The market capitalization range for the Russell 2500 Growth Index will change on a periodic basis. A company?s market capitalization is determined based on its current market capitalization. Frank Russell Company (?Russell?) is the source and owner of the trademarks, service marks, and copyrights related to the Russell Indexes. Russell is a trademark of the Frank Russell Company. The Fund may invest in a limited number of stocks. Using a top-down thematic overlay combined with bottom-up, fundamental research, the Manager seeks to identify early stage major demand trends and invest in securities of competitively advantaged companies that the Manager believes should benefit from these trends. The Manager focuses on earnings growth as the Manager believes earnings growth drives stock prices and the companies with the strongest gains in profitability have the potential to enjoy share performance that exceeds the broad market averages, provided that the earnings are of high quality and likely to continue.
The Fund?s 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Fund shareholders would be given at least 60 days? notice prior to any such change.
