Portfolio management review

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

Dec. 11, 2007

The managers of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund provided the answers to the questions below as a review of the Fund’s activities for the fiscal year that ended Nov. 30, 2007.

Describe the newly launched Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund.

The Fund’s manager established a strategy of investing globally in dividend-paying or income-generating securities across a broad range of asset types. The Fund also utilizes a strategy of selling covered call options and a dividend-capture strategy, in the effort to seek yield.

The Fund invests globally in equity securities of large, well-established companies and securities issued by real estate companies (including REITs and REOCs), and a wide range of fixed income and convertible securities.

How would you describe the investment environment during the five-month period ended Nov. 30, 2007?

In July, just as Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund was launched, conditions deteriorated across many of the markets in which the Fund invests. Equity and fixed income investors alike were coming to grips with the weaker-than-expected economic data in and outside of the United States, and severe credit concerns in the U.S. as related to the housing market.

Investors, already nervous about rising energy prices and other pressures on consumer spending, began to focus more intently on the difficult conditions for homeowners and homebuilders. Falling home prices and rising interest rates triggered an increase in mortgage defaults and substantial losses for banks and home lenders. Financial institutions that had invested in securities backed by the riskiest loans faced some of the steepest losses. Lenders responded by dramatically tightening their borrowing requirements.

In this environment, nervous investors fled the stock market between mid-July and mid-August, while the bond market also went through a severe period of stagnation over several weeks in the summer. Equity markets staged a temporary recovery in September after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates several times. The Fed’s interest rate cuts weren’t enough to satisfy investor anxiety, however. Markets fell sharply again during the fiscal period’s final month, overcome by losses associated with subprime mortgages, as well as potentially meager consumer spending.

How did the Fund perform over the first five-month investing period?

In its initial five-month period, Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund returned -4.97% at net asset value and -17.24% at market price (both figures reflect all distributions reinvested). By comparison, the Fund’s all-equity benchmark — the S&P 500 Index — fell 0.68% for the same period (the index does not have a market value). The Fund’s peer group, as measured by the Lipper Closed-end Global Funds Average, returned +2. 51% at net asset value and -3.24% at market price over that period.

How was the Fund’s strategy implemented during the initial months of operation?

We formulated a strategic investment approach that seeks to provide a high sustainable income. We first chose assets that would be core to the Fund’s strategy. The cumulative distribution rates for these asset classes were designed to mitigate risk and potentially improve upon the Fund’s income and performance levels. In addition, we used various income strategies in an attempt to enhance the sustainability of the Fund’s income stream. The percentage of the Fund’s assets invested in these strategies varies from time to time based on our assessment of economic and market conditions, and the potential for income.

We determined the proportion of the Fund assets allocated to various asset classes based on our analysis of economic and market conditions and our assessment of the income and potential for appreciation that can be achieved from investments in the class.

The views expressed are current as of the date of this report and are subject to change.

Portfolio management review

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

 

During times of an economically sound market environment with a positive outlook, the Fund will invest at most 60% of its net assets in securities of U.S. issuers. However, if we determine that market conditions are not favorable, the Fund will invest at most 70% of its net assets in securities of U.S. issuers. The Fund may not invest more than 25% of the Fund’s net assets in any one industry. Of the remaining 75% of the Fund’s total assets, no more than 5% will be invested in the securities of any one issuer.

What other factors influenced performance in the Fund?

We generally sought to moderate risk within the Fund across many asset types. Among our U.S. large-cap equity investments, we believed a more defensive posture was best in light of slowing economic and corporate earnings growth. In general, we favored stocks with higher dividend yields, lower valuations, and potential for more predictable earnings over time. Growth stocks have outperformed value in recent months. Our large-cap value equity positioning was defensive, with an overweight versus the S&P 500 Index in healthcare.

We have also positioned the Fund’s fixed income allocation defensively across the board, for what we consider to be a challenging credit environment. This has included underweighting lower-rated bonds in the high yield portion of the Fund (such as those rated CCC), while moving up in capital structure of corporate bond issuers like banks, and focusing on asset-rich companies like utilities and hospitals. Noninvestment grade, high yield bonds fell by 2.13% for the same period, largely due to the severe market conditions in August and a focus by investors on higher-quality investments as the year progressed (source: Lehman).

After several years of strong performance, REITs have underperformed other stocks throughout 2007, and for the Fund’s five-month fiscal period. Our belief has been that non-U.S. REITs have for some time been more attractive than U.S. REITs, and as such, the portfolio was positioned at period end with a heavier allocation to non-U.S. than to U.S. REITs, with an emphasis on Southeast Asian markets. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index, which tracks the performance of U.S. REITs, fell 14.23% over the five-month period ended Nov. 30, 2007.

Performance summary

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

The performance data quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Funds that invest in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise, and an investor can lose principal. Please obtain the performance data for the most recent month end by calling 800 523-1918.

A rise or fall in interest rates can have a significant impact on bond prices and the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund.

Total return 
June 29, 2007, through Nov. 30, 2007
At net asset value -4.97 %
At market price -17.24 %

High yield noninvestment grade bonds (“junk bonds”) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds. Adverse conditions may affect the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal on these securities.

The performance table above and the graphs on the following page do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sales of Fund shares.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund was initially offered with a sales charge of 4.50%.

Funds that invest in REITs are subject to many of the risks associated with direct real estate ownership and, as such, may be adversely affected by declines in real-estate values and general and local economic conditions.

Foreign investments are subject to risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, such as currency, economic and political risks, and different accounting standards.

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

Returns reflect reinvestment of all distributions. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment policy. Performance since inception does not include the sales charge or any brokerage commissions for purchases made since inception.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

1 Date of commencement of operations; ratios and portfolio turnover have been annualized and total return has not been annualized.

2 The average shares outstanding method has been applied for per share information.

3 Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return based on net asset value will be higher than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total investment return based on net asset value will be lower than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

November 30, 2007

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (Fund) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol DEX.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.

The Fund commenced operations on June 29, 2007.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation — Equity securities, 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 NYSE on the valuation date. Securities 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 does not trade, then the mean between the bid and asked prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price before the Fund is valued. U.S. Government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Other long-term debt securities, credit default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker and such prices are believed to reflect the fair value of such securities. Short-term debt securities having less than 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities lending collateral, which is invested in a collective investment vehicle, is valued at unit value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts and forward foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices of the contracts and are marked-to-market daily. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. 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 asked prices. Generally, index swap contracts, spread swap contracts and 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. 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 with respect to foreign securities, aftermarket trading or significant events after local market trading (e.g., government actions or pronouncements, trading volume or volatility on markets, exchanges among dealers, or news events).

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (Statement 157). Statement 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Statement 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 157 to have a material impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Federal Income Taxes — 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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

Distributions — The Fund has a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund declares and pays monthly distributions and is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from ordinary income (net investment income and short-term capital gains). The balance of the distributi on then comes from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted and, if necessary, a return of capital. The current annualized rate is $1.704 per share ($0.142 monthly). The Fund continues to evaluate its monthly distribution in light of ongoing economic and market conditions and may change the amount of the monthly distributions in the future.

Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may invest in a pooled cash account along with members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC. The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective collateral is held by the Fund’s custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. 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 isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities, which are due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices of debt securities. For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in realized gains (losses) on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, where 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. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 amongst 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. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest income. 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 non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date as an estimate, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer.

The Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included in custodian fees on the Statement of operations with the corresponding expense offset shown as “expense paid indirectly.”

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
In accordance with the terms of its investment management agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment adviser, an annual fee of 1.00%, which is calculated daily based on average daily net assets of the Fund.

DMC reimbursed all the Fund’s organizational expenses, amounting to $68,000, which were incurred prior to the Fund’s commencement of operations. DMC has also agreed to pay offering costs of the Fund that exceed $0.037 per common share. Total offering costs amounted to $688,324 of which $218,324 were borne by DMC.

Effective October 1, 2007, Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays DSC fees based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware Investments Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.0050% of the first $30 billion; 0.0045% of the next $10 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The fees payable to DSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. Prior to October 1, 2007, DSC provided fund accounting and administrative services to the Fund and received a fee at an annual rate of 0.04% of average daily net assets.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information
Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period ended November 30, 2007 was as follows:

     6/29/07*
     to
     11/30/07
Ordinary income    $ 4,027,580
Return of capital      1,480,360
Total    $ 5,507,940

*Date of commencement of operations.

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis
As of November 30, 2007, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

Shares of beneficial interest  $ 245,001,860  
Capital loss carryforwards  (1,723,170 )
Unrealized depreciation of investments and   
     foreign currencies    (15,174,739 )
Net assets  $ 228,103,951  

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market of futures contracts, passive foreign investment companies, and tax treatment of CDS contracts.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, CDS contracts, paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the period ended November 30, 2007, the Fund recorded the following reclassifications:

Distributions in excess of net investment income  $ (277,232 )
Accumulated net realized loss  277,232  

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards of $1,723,170 may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital loss carryforwards expire in 2015.

6. Capital Stock
Shares obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, LLC, in the open market. There were no shares issued under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan for the period ended November 30, 2007.

For the period ended November 30, 2007, the Fund issued 12,924,200 common shares.

The Fund did not repurchase any shares under the Fund’s Share Repurchase Program during the period ended November 30, 2007.

7. 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 market 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 limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. 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 unrealized gain (loss) is included in receivables and other assets net of liabilities on the Statement of net assets.

8. Futures Contracts
The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge its existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss 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. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. The unrealized gain (loss) is included in receivables and other assets net of liabilities on the Statement of net assets.

9. Options Written
During the period June 29, 2007 to November 30, 2007, the Fund entered into options contracts in accordance with its investment objectives. 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 options 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,

24


9. Options Written (continued)
bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

Transactions in options written during the period ended November 30, 2007 for the Fund were as follows:

   Number of contracts        Premiums 
Options written  4,749   $ 775,734  
Options expired  (4,592 ) (739,502 )
Options closed    (57 )               (1,533 )
Options outstanding at     
   November 30, 2007  100     $ 34,699  

10. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts and CDS contracts in accordance with its investment objectives. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the Fund invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Fund may also use index swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not directly available to the Fund on favorable terms. 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.

An interest rate swap involves payments received by the Fund from another party based on a variable or floating interest rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest rate swap can also work in reverse with the Fund receiving payments based on a fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/ receipt or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts.

Index swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or termination of the swap contract.

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 reference 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 referenced security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty.

During the period ended November 30, 2007, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and seller of protection. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized gains or losses on swap contracts. Upon payment, such amounts are recorded as realized losses on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as realized 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.

Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. If the Fund enters into a CDS contract as a purchaser of protection and no credit event occurs, its exposure is limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty.

Because there is no organized market for swap contracts, 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 movements 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 Statement of net assets.

11. 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 Mellon Bank, N.A. (Mellon). With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of the collateral held on any business day 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 not less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is invested in a collective investment vehicle (Collective Trust) established by Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust invests in fixed income securities with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top two tiers by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. However, 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 change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The

11. Securities Lending (continued)
Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The security lending agent and the borrower retain a portion of the earnings from the collateral investments. The Fund records security lending income net of such allocation.

At November 30, 2007, the market value of securities on loan was $28,418,271, for which cash collateral was received and invested in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Such investments are presented on the Statement of net assets under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

12. Credit and Market Risk
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 country’s 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 equity 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 carry ratings of BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and/or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 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 underlying 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 market’s 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 affect on the Fund’s 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 also invests in taxable municipal bonds.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to some of 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 June 29, 2007 to November 30, 2007. 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 Fund’s Board of Trustees has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the Statement of net assets.

13. Contractual Obligations
The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

14. Tax Information (Unaudited)
The information set forth below is for the Fund’s fiscal year as required by tax laws. Shareholders, however, must report distributions on a calendar year basis for income tax purposes, which may include distributions for portions of two fiscal years of a fund. Accordingly, the information needed by shareholders for income tax purposes will be sent to them in January of each year. Please consult your tax advisor for proper treatment of this information.

For the period June 29, 2007 to November 30, 2007, the Fund designates distributions paid during the year as follows:

(A)   (B)      
Long-Term   Ordinary   (C)    
Capital Gain   Income   Return   Total   (D)
Distributions   Distributions*   of Capital   Distributions   Qualifying
(Tax Basis)      (Tax Basis)      (Tax Basis)      (Tax Basis)      Dividends1
0%   73%   27%   100%   14%

(A), (B) and (C) are based on a percentage of the Fund’s total distributions.
 
(D) is based on percentage of ordinary income distributions of the Fund.
 
1Qualifiying dividends represent dividends, which qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction.
 
*For the period June 29, 2007 to November 30, 2007, certain dividends paid by the Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. The Fund intends to designate up to a maximum amount of $828,436 to be taxed at maximum rate of 15%. Complete information will be computed and reported in conjunction with your 2007 Form 1099-DIV.

Report of independent
registered public accounting firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (the “Fund”) as of November 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the period June 29, 2007 (commencement of operations) through November 30, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund at November 30, 2007, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the period June 29, 2007 ( commencement of operations) through November 30, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board Consideration of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund Investment Advisory Agreement

Nature, Extent And Quality Of Service. Consideration was given to the services provided by Delaware Investments to the Delaware Funds and their shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent and quality of services, the Board emphasized reports furnished to it throughout the year at regular Board Meetings covering matters such as compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies and restrictions, the compliance of management personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds complex and the adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board noted that it was pleased with the current staffing of the Fund’s investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. Favorable consideration was given to DMC’s efforts to maintain, and in some instances increase, financial and human resources committed to fund matters. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by Delaware Investments.

Investment Performance. The Board considered the investment performance of DMC. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, particular weight was given to the Lipper reports furnished for the annual contract renewal meeting.

Comparative Expenses. The Board considered management fee and total expense comparison data for the proposed Fund and other comparable funds presented in the Board materials. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Fund. The Board focused particularly on the comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratios of the Fund and the management fees and expense ratios of a group of similar funds. The Board noted its objective to limit the Fund’s total expense ratio to an acceptable range. The Board was satisfied with the proposed management fees and total expenses of the Fund in comparison to other similar global closed-end funds.

Management Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits to be realized by Delaware Investments in connection with the operation of the Fund. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of Delaware Investments’ business in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds and the Delaware Investments Family of Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of Delaware Investments, to a certain extent, reflected operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by Delaware Investments. The Board considered Delaware Investments’ efforts to improve services provided to fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent SEC initiatives. The Board also considered the extent to which Delaware Investments might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware Investments Family of Funds and the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies. The Board found that the management fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the level of profitability of Delaware Investments.

Economies of Scale. As a closed-end fund, the Fund does not issue shares on a continuous basis. Fund assets increase only to the extent that the value of the underlying securities in the Fund increase. Accordingly, the Board determined that the Fund was not likely to experience significant economies of scale due to asset growth and, therefore, a fee schedule with breakpoints to pass the benefit of such economies of scale on to shareholders was not likely to provide the intended effect.

Corporate Governance

The Fund’s audit committee charter is available on its web site at http://www.delawareinvestments.com, and the charter is also available in print to any shareholder who requests it. The Fund submitted its Annual CEO certification for 2007 to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on July 19, 2007 stating that the CEO was not aware of any violation by the Fund of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards. In addition, the Fund filed the required CEO/CFO certifications regarding the quality of the Fund’s public disclosure as exhibits to the Forms N-CSR and Forms N-Q filed by the Fund over the past fiscal year. The Fund’s Form N-CSR and Form N-Q filings are available on the Commission’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Additions to Portfolio Management Team

In August, 2007, Kevin P. Loome was appointed as an additional co-portfolio manager of the Fund. Mr. Loome will work with Babak Zenouzi, Damon J. Andres, D. Tysen Nutt, Jr., Zoë Neale, Thomas H. Chow, Philip R. Perkins and Liu-Er Chen in making day-to-day decisions for the Fund.

In January, 2008, Roger Early was appointed as an additional co-portfolio manager of the Fund. Mr. Early will work with Babak Zenouzi, Damon J. Andres, D. Tysen Nutt, Jr., Zoë Neale, Thomas H. Chow, Philip R. Perkins, Kevin Loome and Liu-Er Chen in making day-to-day decisions for the Fund.

Change in Fund Accounting and Financial Administration Services Agent

Effective October 1, 2007, Mellon Bank, N.A. provides fund accounting and financial administration services to the Fund. Those services include performing functions related to calculating the Fund’s NAV and providing financial reporting information, regulatory compliance testing and other related accounting services. For these services, the Fund pays Mellon Bank, N.A. an asset-based fee, subject to certain fee minimums, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses and transactional charges. Effective October 1, 2007, Delaware Service Company, Inc. (“DSC”) provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Fund.

The fees payable to Mellon Bank, N.A. and DSC under the service agreements described above will be allocated among all Funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. Prior to October 1, 2007, DSC provided fund accounting and financial administration services to the Fund at an annual rate of 0.04% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Fund offers an automatic dividend reinvestment plan. The following is a restatement of the plan description in the Fund’s prospectus:

Unless the registered owner of the Fund’s common shares elects to receive cash by contacting the Plan Agent (as defined below), all dividends declared for your common shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by Mellon Investor Services LLC (the “Plan Agent”), agent for shareholders in administering the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Fund. If a registered owner of common shares elects not to participate in the Plan, you will receive all dividends in cash paid by check mailed directly to you (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by sending written instructions or by contacting the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent, at the address set forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by contacting the Plan Agent before the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may re-invest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your common shares of the Fund to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Agent will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such shareholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “dividend”) payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“open-market purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere.

If, on the payment date for any dividend, the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions is greater than the net asset value per common share (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued common shares, including fractions, on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date.

If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per common share is greater than the market value per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any dividend, the Plan Agent will have until the last business day before the next date on which the common shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such dividend, whichever is sooner (the “last purchase date”), to invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired in open-market purchases. It is contemplated that the Fund will pay monthly dividends. Therefore, the period during which open-market purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each dividend through the date before the next “ex-dividend” date. If, before the Plan Agent has completed its open-market purchases, the market price of a common share exceeds the net asset value per common share, the average per common share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued common shares on the dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open market purchases, if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent may cease making open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued common shares at the net asset value per common share at the close of business on the last purchase date; provided that, if the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date.

The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Agent on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Agent will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of common shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases. The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any U.S. federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $15.00 sales fee and a brokerage commission of $.12 per share sold.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at Mellon Investor Services LLC, P.O. Box 3338, South Hackensack, NJ 07606-1938; telephone: 800-851-9677.

     (g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s independent auditors for services rendered to the registrant and to its investment adviser and other service providers under common control with the adviser were $256,338 for the registrant’s fiscal year ended November 30, 2007.

     (h) In connection with its selection of the independent auditors, the registrant’s Audit Committee has considered the independent auditors’ provision of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and other service providers under common control with the adviser that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee has determined that the independent auditors’ provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.


Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

     The registrant has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The members of the registrant’s Audit Committee are Thomas L. Bennett, Thomas F. Madison, Janet L. Yeomans and J. Richard Zecher.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments

     Included as part of report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

     The registrant has formally delegated to its investment adviser (the “Adviser”) the ability to make all proxy voting decisions in relation to portfolio securities held by the registrant. If and when proxies need to be voted on behalf of the registrant, the Adviser will vote such proxies pursuant to its Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Adviser has established a Proxy Voting Committee (the “Committee”) which is responsible for overseeing the Adviser’s proxy voting process for the registrant. One of the main responsibilities of the Committee is to review and approve the Procedures to ensure that the Procedures are designed to allow the Adviser to vote proxies in a manner consistent with the goal of voting in the best interests of the registrant.

     In order to facilitate the actual process of voting proxies, the Adviser has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) to analyze proxy statements on behalf of the registrant and other Adviser clients and vote proxies generally in accordance with the Procedures. The Committee is responsible for overseeing ISS’s proxy voting activities. If a proxy has been voted for the registrant, ISS will create a record of the vote. By no later than August 31 of each year, information (if any) regarding how the registrant voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recently disclosed 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge (i) through the registrant’s website at http://www.delawareinvestments.com; and (ii) on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

     The Procedures contain a general guideline that recommendations of company management on an issue (particularly routine issues) should be given a fair amount of weight in determining how proxy issues should be voted. However, the Adviser will normally vote against management’s position when it runs counter to its specific Proxy Voting Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and the Adviser will also vote against management’s recommendation when it believes that such position is not in the best interests of the registrant.

     As stated above, the Procedures also list specific Guidelines on how to vote proxies on behalf of the registrant. Some examples of the Guidelines are as follows: (i) generally vote for shareholder proposals asking that a majority or more of directors be independent; (ii) generally vote against proposals to require a supermajority shareholder vote; (iii) votes on mergers and acquisitions should be considered on a case-by-case basis, determining whether the transaction enhances shareholder value; (iv) generally vote against proposals to create a new class of common stock with superior voting rights; (v) generally vote re-incorporation proposals on a case-by-case basis; (vi) votes with respect to equity-based compensation plans are generally determined on a case-by-case basis; and (vii) generally vote for proposals requesting reports on the level of greenhouse gas emissions from a company’s operations and products.


     Because the registrant has delegated proxy voting to the Adviser, the registrant is not expected to encounter any conflict of interest issues regarding proxy voting and therefore does not have procedures regarding this matter. However, the Adviser does have a section in its Procedures that addresses the possibility of conflicts of interest. Most proxies which the Adviser receives on behalf of the registrant are voted by ISS in accordance with the Procedures. Because almost all registrant proxies are voted by ISS pursuant to the pre-determined Procedures, it normally will not be necessary for the Adviser to make an actual determination of how to vote a particular proxy, thereby largely eliminating conflicts of interest for the Adviser during the proxy voting process. In the very limited instances where the Adviser is considering voting a proxy contrary to ISS’s recommendation, the Committee will first assess the issue to see if there is any possible conflict of interest involving the Adviser or affiliated persons of the Adviser. If a member of the Committee has actual knowledge of a conflict of interest, the Committee will normally use another independent third party to do additional research on the particular proxy issue in order to make a recommendation to the Committee on how to vote the proxy in the best interests of the registrant. The Committee will then review the proxy voting materials and recommendation provided by ISS and the independent third party to determine how to vote the issue in a manner which the Committee believes is consistent with the Procedures and in the best interests of the registrant.

Description of Material Conflicts of Interest

     Individual portfolio managers may perform investment management services for other accounts similar to those provided to the Funds and the investment action for each account and Fund may differ. For example, an account or Fund may be selling a security, while another account or Fund may be purchasing or holding the same security. As a result, transactions executed for one account may adversely affect the value of securities held by another account. Additionally, the management of multiple accounts and Funds may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as a portfolio manager must allocate time and effort to multiple accounts and Funds. A portfolio manager may discover an investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account or Fund. The investment opportunity may be limited, however, so that all accounts for which the investment would be suitable may not be able to participate. The Manager has adopted procedures designed to allocate investments fairly across multiple accounts.

     A portfolio manager’s management of personal accounts also may present certain conflicts of interest. While the Manager’s Code of Ethics is designed to address these potential conflicts, there is no guarantee that it will do so.

Compensation Structure

     Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of the following:

     Base Salary. Each named portfolio manager receives a fixed base salary. Salaries are determined by a comparison to industry data prepared by third parties to ensure that portfolio manager salaries are in line with salaries paid at peer investment advisory firms.

     Bonus. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is based on quantitative and qualitative factors. The amount of the pool for bonus payments is first determined by mathematical equation based on assets, management fees and expenses, including fund waiver expenses, for registered investment companies, pooled vehicles, and managed separate accounts. Generally, approximately 80% of the bonus is quantitatively determined. For investment companies, each manager is compensated according the Fund’s Lipper peer group percentile ranking on a one-year and three-year basis. For managed separate accounts the portfolio managers are compensated according to the composite percentile ranking in consultant databases. There is no objective award for a fund that falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period. There is a sliding scale for investment companies that are ranked above the 50th percentile. The managed separate accounts are compared to Callan and other databases. The remaining 20% portion of the bonus is discretionary as determined by Delaware and takes into account subjective factors.

     Due to the transitioning of responsibilities of Mr. Early and Mr. Loome, their bonus for the past year was guaranteed. It is anticipated tat going forward an objective component will be added that is reflective of account performance relative to an appropriate peer group or database.


     Deferred Compensation. Each named portfolio manager is eligible to participate in the Lincoln National Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which is available to all employees whose income exceeds a designated threshold. The Plan is a non-qualified unfunded deferred compensation plan that permits participating employees to defer the receipt of a portion of their cash compensation.

     Stock Option Incentive Plan/Equity Compensation Plan: Portfolio managers may be awarded options to purchase common shares of Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. pursuant to the terms the Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Stock Option Plan (non-statutory or “non-qualified” stock options). In addition, certain managers may be awarded restricted stock units, or “performance shares”, in Lincoln. Delaware Investments U.S., Inc., is an indirect subsidiary of DMH and, therefore, of Lincoln.

     The Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Stock Option Plan was established in 2001 in order to provide certain investment personnel of the Manager with a more direct means of participating in the growth of the investment manager. Under the terms of the plan, stock options typically vest in 25% increments on a four-year schedule and expire ten years after issuance. Options are awarded from time to time by the investment manager in its full discretion. Option awards may be based in part on seniority.

     Portfolio managers who do not participate in the Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Stock Option Plan are eligible to participate in Lincoln’s Long-Term Incentive Plan, which is designed to provide a long-term incentive to officers of Lincoln. Under the plan, a specified number of performance shares are allocated to each unit and are awarded to participants in the discretion of their managers in accordance with recommended targets related to the number of employees in a unit that may receive an award and the number of shares to be awarded. The performance shares have a three year vesting schedule and, at the end of the three years, the actual number of shares distributed to those who received awards may be equal to, greater than or less than the amount of the award based on Lincoln’s achievement of certain performance goals relative to a pre-determined peer group.

     Other Compensation: Portfolio managers may also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all employees.

Ownership of Securities

     As of November 30, 2007, none of the Fund’s portfolio managers owned shares of the Fund.
