Fund Description

For the purposes of this section, a reference to the Manager may also include Macquarie Investment Management Austria Kapitalanlage AG (“MIMAK” or the “Sub-advisor”), with respect to its role as sub-advisor of the Fund. The Fund allocates its assets among stocks (US and foreign companies), bonds and money market instruments. The Fund does not use a fixed formula for allocating investments between stocks and bonds. While the percentage of assets allocated to each asset class is flexible rather than fixed, the Fund normally invests at least 50% of its net assets in stocks, stock equivalents, and convertible securities with the remainder in bonds, cash and money market instruments.

The percentage allocations within the above ranges may change due to, among other things, market fluctuations or reallocation decisions by the Sub-advisor. MIMAK’s dynamic asset-allocation framework will be used to determine the proportion of the Fund’s assets that will be allocated to the various asset classes, based on the market assessment and portfolio risk contribution for such asset classes. The framework is intended to reduce riskier assets in times of market volatility and provide additional downside protection. Reallocations outside of the above ranges are expected to occur infrequently.

The Fund may also invest in high yield, below investment grade corporate bonds (commonly known as high yield or “junk bonds”). High yield bonds include bonds that are rated below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC as well as unrated bonds that are determined by the Manager to be of equivalent quality. The Manager will consider ratings assigned by ratings agencies in selecting high yield bonds but relies principally on its own research and investment analysis. In managing its portion of the Fund, the Manager primarily focuses on investments it believes can generate attractive and consistent income. The Manager may sell a bond when it shows deteriorating fundamentals or it falls short of the Manager’s expectations. The Fund may invest in credit-linked securities, provided that no more than 10% of the Fund’s net assets are invested in credit-linked securities.

The Fund may also invest in real estate related companies and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

In connection with its dynamic asset-allocation framework, MIMAK will also manage a tactical/completion sleeve and such sleeve will typically vary from 0% to 20% of the Fund’s total assets and primarily hold derivatives and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The Fund may use a wide range of derivative instruments, typically including forward foreign currency contracts, options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and credit default swaps. The Fund will use derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes; as a substitute for purchasing or selling securities; and to manage the Fund’s portfolio characteristics. For example, the Fund may invest in: futures and options to manage duration and for defensive purposes, such as to protect gains or hedge against potential losses in the portfolio without actually selling a security, or to stay fully invested; forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure; and credit default swaps to hedge against a credit event, to gain exposure to certain securities or markets, or to enhance total return.

In addition, the Manager may seek investment advice and recommendations relating to fixed income securities from its affiliates: Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (MIMEL) and Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL). The Manager may also permit MIMGL, and Macquarie Funds Management Hong Kong Limited (MFMHKL) to execute equity Fund security trades on behalf of the Manager. The Manager may also permit MIMEL and MIMGL to exercise investment discretion for securities in certain markets where the Manager believes it will be beneficial to utilize MIMEL’s or MIMGL’s specialized market knowledge, and the Manager may also seek quantitative support from MIMGL. MIMGL is also responsible for managing real estate investment trust securities and other equity asset classes to which the portfolio managers may allocate assets from time to time.
