2A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement.

1. Significant Accounting
Policies
The following accounting policies
are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP)
and are consistently followed by Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income
Fund (Fund). This report covers the period of time since the Funds last fiscal
year end.
Security Valuation Equity securities and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date. Securities and ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security or ETF does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. U.S. government securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, pricing vendors utilized matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as broker/dealer-supplied prices. Debt securities and credit default swap (CDS) contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker/counterparty and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).
Federal & Foreign Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (Nov. 30, 2009 Nov. 30, 2012), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds financial statements. In regards to foreign taxes only, the Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries it invests in that may date back to the inception of the Fund.
Distributions The Fund has implemented a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net investment income and short-term capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted, and if necessary, a return of capital. Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Funds capital loss carryovers from prior years. For federal income tax purposes, the effect of such capital loss carryovers may be to convert (to the extent of such current year gains) what would otherwise be returns of capital into distributions taxable as ordinary income. This tax effect can occur during times of extended market volatility. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (Act), this tax effect attributable to the Funds capital loss carryovers (the conversion of returns of capital into distributions taxable as ordinary income) will no longer apply to net capital losses of the Fund arising in Fund tax years beginning after Nov. 30, 2012. The actual determination of the source of the Funds distributions can be made only at year end.
Repurchase Agreements The Fund may purchase certain U.S. government securities subject to the counterparty's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Fund's custodian or a third-party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements as of the date of this report were entered into on Aug. 31, 2013.
To Be Announced Trades (TBA) The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (e.g., "when issued," "delayed delivery," "forward commitment," or "TBA transactions") consistent with the Funds ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.
Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund's prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally bifurates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
Other Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings, a portion of which may be reclaimable. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends and interest have been recorded in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates.
2. Investments
At Aug. 31, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income
tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be
determined until fiscal year end. At Aug. 31, 2013, the cost of investments and
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 266,055,582 | ||
Aggregate unrealized appreciation | $ | 29,278,080 | ||
Aggregate unrealized depreciation | (13,034,840 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 16,243,240 |
For federal income tax purposes, at Nov. 30, 2012, capital loss carryforwards of $59,453,692 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows: $3,221,272 expires in 2015, $33,984,198 expires in 2016 and $22,248,222 expires in 2017.
On Dec. 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes were generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Funds investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
Level 1-inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts)
Level 2-other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)
Level 3-inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)
Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Funds investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of Aug. 31, 2013:

1Security type is valued across multiple levels. The amounts attributed to Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments represent 59.93% and 40.07%, respectively. Level 1 investments represent exchange-traded investments while Level 2 investments represent investments with observable inputs.
2Security type is valued across multiple levels. The amounts attributed to Level 2 investments and Level 3 investments represent 58.30% and 41.70%, respectively. Level 2 investments represent investments with observable inputs while Level 3 investments represent investments without observable inputs.
3Security type is valued across multiple levels. The amounts attributed to Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments and Level 3 investments represent 72.63%, 23.66% and 3.71%, respectively, of the total market value of the security type. Level 1 investments represents exchange traded investments, Level 2 investments represent investments with observable inputs while Level 3 investments represent investments without observable inputs.
The securities that have been deemed worthless on the schedule of investments are considered to be Level 3 investments in this table.
During the period ended Aug. 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, and Level 2 investments or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the Fair Valuation Procedures described in Note 1, International Fair Value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. The Funds policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim or end of the period in relation to net assets. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 inputs under ASU No. 2011-04 since the Level 3 investments are not considered significant to the Funds net assets at the end of the period.
3. Line of
Credit
For the period ended Aug. 31, 2013,
the Fund borrowed money pursuant to a $67,000,000 Credit Agreement with The Bank
of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) that expired on June 26, 2013, but was renewed
through June 25, 2014. Depending on market conditions, the amount borrowed by
the Fund pursuant to the Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased
in the future.
At Aug. 31, 2013, the par value of loans outstanding was $65,725,000 at a variable interest rate of 1.02%. During the period ended Aug. 31, 2013, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $65,725,000 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.13%.
Interest on borrowings is based on a variable short-term rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee under the Credit Agreement is computed at a rate of 0.15% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Funds portfolio.
4. Derivatives
U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to
understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted
for; and 3) how they affect an entity's results of operations and financial
position.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Funds maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Funds exposure to the counterparty.
Options Contracts During the period ended Aug. 31, 2013, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Funds exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Funds overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps swaptions, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change.
Swap Contracts The Fund enters into CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets. The Fund will not be permitted to enter into any swap transactions unless, at the time of entering into such transactions, the unsecured long-term debt of the actual counterparty, combined with any credit enhancements, is rated at least BBB- by Standard and Poors (S&P) or Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) or is determined to be of equivalent credit quality by the Manager.
Credit Default Swaps. A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular referenced security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the reference security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.
During the period ended Aug. 31, 2013, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement.
CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Funds maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Funds exposure to the counterparty for trades entered prior to June 10, 2013, and (2) trading these instruments through a central counterparty for trades entered on or after June 10, 2013.
Swaps Generally. The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the schedule of investments.
5. Securities
Lending
The Fund, along with other funds
in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may lend its securities
pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of
New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). At the time a security is loaned, the borrower
must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the
loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (i)
102% with respect to U.S. securities and foreign securities that are denominated
and payable in U.S. dollars; and (ii) 105% with respect to foreign securities.
With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of
securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate
market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower
will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following
business day which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less
than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If
the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held
with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral
requirement, upon request of the borrower BNY Mellon must return enough
collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce
the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral
requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of
the collateral held with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or
less than the value of the security on loan.
Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Delaware Investments Collateral Fund No. 1 (the Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of funds managed by Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, that participate in BNY Mellon's securities lending program. The Collective Trust may invest in U.S. government securities and high-quality corporate debt, asset-backed and other money market securities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities, provided that the Collective Trust will generally have a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less. The Fund can also accept U.S. government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to changes in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among the Fund, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.
The Collective Trust used for the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers of securities seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. The Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust or another collateral investment pool. This could occur if an investment in a collateral investment pool defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the collateral investment pool to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the collateral investment pools net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Fund may not receive an amount from the collateral investment pool that is equal in amount to the collateral the Fund would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.
At Aug. 31, 2013, the value of securities on loan was $14,382,946, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $653,869, and cash collateral of $14,329,685. At Aug. 31, 2013, the value of invested collateral was $14,329,685. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the schedule of investments under the caption "Securities Lending Collateral".
6. Credit and Market
Risk
The Fund borrows through its line of
credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher degrees of
volatility because the Funds net asset value could be subject to fluctuations
in short-term interest rates and changes in market value of portfolio securities
attributable to the leverage.
Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a countrys balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.
The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by S&P and Ba or lower by Moodys, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.
The Fund invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the markets perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Funds yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.
The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the period ended Aug. 31, 2013. The Fund's REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Funds Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Funds limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Funds 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the schedule of investments.
7. Subsequent Events
Management has determined that no
