FIFKX Investment Objective and Strategy
Delaware Fund for Income describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Delaware Group Equity Funds IV.
Investment objective
Delaware Fund for Income seeks high current income.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund primarily invests in fixed income securities rated at the time of purchase lower than BBB- by Standard & Poors Financial Services LLC (S&P), Baa3 by Moodys Investors Services, Inc. (Moodys), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). These are commonly known as high yield bonds or junk bonds and involve greater risks than investment grade bonds. The Fund may also invest in unrated bonds that the Manager determines to be of comparable quality. Unrated bonds may be more speculative in nature than rated bonds. The Fund may also invest in US and foreign government securities and corporate bonds of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 40% of its net assets in foreign securities; however, the Funds total non-US-dollar currency exposure will be limited, in the aggregate, to no more than 25% of the Funds net assets, and investments in emerging market securities will be limited to 20% of the Funds net assets.
In selecting bonds for the portfolio, the Manager evaluates the income provided by the bond and the bonds appreciation potential as well as the issuers ability to make income and principal payments. In addition, the Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited, Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG, and Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (together, the Affiliated Sub-Advisors). The Manager may also permit these Affiliated Sub-Advisors to execute Fund security trades on behalf of the Manager and exercise investment discretion for securities in certain markets where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize an Affiliated Sub-Advisor's specialized market knowledge.
