Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management’s discussion of Fund performance
Performance highlights
Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund (Class A) returned 7.10% (excluding sales charge) for the 12 months ended August 31, 2024. During the same period, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, the Fund's broad-based securities market index, returned 6.09%.
Top contributors to performance:
Municipal yields fell over the fiscal year against a backdrop of slowing inflation and anticipation that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would eventually cut rates. As a result, the longer end of the curve outperformed.
Lower-investment-grade and below-investment-grade segments drove performance. The catalyst was a strong technical backdrop of diminutive high yield issuance coupled with inflows to municipal mutual funds, particularly high yield funds.
Key contributors to performance included:
Overweight to the long bond (22+ years) segment of the curve
Overweight to BBB-rated credit
Significant out-of-benchmark allocation to below-investment-grade securities
Top detractors from performance:
The front end of the curve – which is, by its nature, shorter in duration – detracted from performance over the fiscal year, as this maturity segment lagged relative to the intermediate and long ends of the curve.
Key detractors from performance included:
Modest out-of-benchmark allocation to the front end (0-1 year) of the curve
Allocation to pre-refunded bonds, predominantly on the front end of the curve
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.
