Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and reflects the Manager's expense waivers and reimbursements for the 1-year contractual period and the total operating expenses without waivers for years 2 through 10. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example - (Delaware Select Growth Fund) - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	693	943	1,212	1,978
Class C	301	621	1,068	2,306
Class R	151	468	808	1,768
Institutional Class	100	312	542	1,201

Expense Example, No Redemption - (Delaware Select Growth Fund)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class C | USD ($)	201	621	1,068	2,306

Portfolio turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 46% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund's principal investment strategies?

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies that its portfolio managers believe have long-term capital appreciation potential and are expected to grow faster than the U.S. economy. The portfolio managers will consider companies of any size or market capitalization. Using a bottom-up approach, the portfolio managers seek to select securities that they believe have large end-market potential or dominance of a profitable niche market, dominant business models, and strong free cash flow generation that are attractively priced compared to the intrinsic value of the securities. The portfolio managers also consider a company's operational efficiencies, management's plans for capital allocation, and the company's shareholder orientation. Holdings are generally sold for the following reasons: a better idea is found (that is, the stock is "crowded out" of the portfolio); an unexpected, negative fundamental change, including change in investment strategy; the holding's valuation becomes stretched past fair value; or portfolio construction considerations. The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs).

What are the principal risks of investing in the Fund?

Investing in any mutual fund involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Fund will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio. Principal risks include:

Market risk — The risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market — such as the stock or bond market — will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.

Issuer concentration risk — The portfolio generally holds a limited number of securities depending on our assessment of the investment opportunities available. This allows us to focus on the potential of those particular issuers, but it also means that the Fund may be more volatile than those funds that hold a greater number of securities.

Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.

Liquidity risk — The possibility that securities cannot be readily sold within seven days at approximately the price at which a portfolio has valued them.

Foreign risk — The risk that foreign securities (particularly in emerging markets) may be adversely affected by political instability; changes in currency exchange rates; inefficient markets and higher transaction costs; foreign economic conditions; the imposition of economic or trade sanctions; or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards.

Currency risk — The risk that the value of a portfolio's investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Counterparty risk — The risk that a counterparty to a derivatives contract (such as a swap, futures, or options contract) or a repurchase agreement may fail to perform its obligations under the contract or agreement due to financial difficulties (such as a bankruptcy or reorganization).

Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities have, from time to time, taken or considered actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and significantly affect fund performance.

Real estate industry risk — This risk includes, among others: possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes, and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the cleanup of, and liability to third parties resulting from, environmental problems; casualty for condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates.

How has Delaware Select Growth Fund performed?

The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual total returns for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. The returns reflect any expense caps in effect during these periods. The returns would be lower without the expense caps. You may obtain the Fund's most recently available month-end performance by calling 800 523-1918 or by visiting our website at delawareinvestments.com/performance.

Year-by-year total return (Class A)

During the periods illustrated in this bar chart, Class A's highest quarterly return was 23.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and its lowest quarterly return was -24.96% for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2008. The maximum Class A sales charge of 5.75%, which is normally deducted when you purchase shares, is not reflected in the highest/lowest quarterly returns or in the bar chart. If this fee were included, the returns would be less than those shown. The average annual total returns in the table below do include the sales charge.

After-tax performance is presented only for Class A shares of the Fund. The after-tax returns for other Fund classes may vary.

[1] The Fund's investment manager, Delaware Management Company (Manager), has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fees and/or pay/reimburse expenses (excluding any 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, short sale and dividend interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and nonroutine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations) in order to prevent total annual fund operating expenses from exceeding 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets from Feb. 26, 2016 through Feb. 28, 2017. These waivers and reimbursements may only be terminated by agreement of the Manager and the Fund.
