DELAWARE GROUP® INCOME FUNDS
Delaware Diversified Floating Rate Fund (the "Fund")

Supplement to the Fund's Summary and Statutory Prospectuses dated November 28, 2016

Effective on or about Jan. 31, 2017 ("Effective Date"), the investment strategies for Delaware Diversified Floating Rate Fund will change and the Fund will be repositioned as a bank loan focused fund (the "Repositioning").  In connection with this Repositioning, the Fund's name will change to Delaware Floating Rate Fund.

The Repositioning will result in higher portfolio turnover in the near term, as the portfolio management team purchases and sells securities to accommodate the Repositioning. This higher portfolio turnover may cause the Fund to realize capital gains and is likely to cause the Fund to incur transaction costs. You should consult your financial advisor and tax advisor about the potential impact that will result from the Repositioning.

The Repositioning will not result in a change to the Fund's management fees and the average portfolio duration for the Fund will continue to generally not exceed one year.

The following is a summary of certain changes that will be made on the Effective Date as a result of the Repositioning:
