DLMAX Investment Objective and Strategy
Delaware Mid Cap Value Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Delaware Group Equity Funds I.
Investment objective
Delaware Mid Cap Value Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests primarily in investments of medium-sized companies whose stock prices appear low relative to their underlying value or future potential. Among other factors, the Fund?s investment manager, Delaware Management Company (Manager), considers the financial strength of a company, its management, the prospects for its industry, and any anticipated changes within the company that might suggest a more favorable outlook going forward. The Manager focuses on free cash flow in its individual stock selection, seeking companies that it believes have a sustainable ability to buy back shares, lower debt, and/or increase or initiate dividends. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund?s net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, will be in investments of medium-sized companies (80% policy).
The Fund considers medium-sized companies to be those companies whose market capitalizations fall within the range represented in the Russell Midcap Value Index (Index) at the time of the Fund?s investment. As of May 12, 2017, the smallest company included in the Index had a market capitalization of $2.3 billion and the largest company included in the Index had a market capitalization of $29.4 billion. The market capitalization range for the Russell Midcap Value Index will change on a periodic basis. A company?s market capitalization is determined based on its current market capitalization. Russell Investment Group is the source and owner of the trademarks, service marks, and copyrights related to the Russell Indexes. Russell is a trademark of the Russell Investment Group. The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs).
The Fund?s 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. However, Fund shareholders would be given at least 60 days? notice prior to any such change.
