Fund Description
Delaware Extended Duration Bond Fund, Class A was incepted in September 1998 and is managed by Delaware Management Company. The objective of the fund is to seek total return through a combination of income and capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in U.S. corporate bonds that have investment grade credit ratings in the four highest categories. The fund may invest up to 15% of the fund's assets in foreign corporate and government securities. The fund invests at a greater total return than some U.S. government bond funds but at a lower risk than many high-yield bond funds. The fund offers dividends monthly and capital gains in November.
