Notes to financial statements
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
May 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
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 Funds 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.
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 ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. U.S. Government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Other debt securities, credit default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. 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. Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Financial futures contracts and options on financial 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 ask prices. Generally, index 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 Funds 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 at 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 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. The Fund did not record any tax benefit or expense in the current period.
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 distribution then comes from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted and, if necessary, a return of capital.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 Funds 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. At May 31, 2009, the Fund held no investments in repurchase agreements.
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 is 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 is 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, 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. 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.
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

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 Funds understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investments 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.
The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the period ended May 31, 2009.
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 manager, an annual fee of 1.00% (calculated daily) of the adjusted average weekly net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment management fees, adjusted average weekly net assets excludes the line of credit liability.
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. For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund was charged $3,997 for these services.
At May 31, 2009, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:
Investment management fee payable to DMC | $ | 148,024 |
Fees and other expenses payable to DSC | 741 | |
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates* | 3,167 |
*DMC, as part of its administrative services, pays operating expenses on behalf of the Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic basis. Such expenses include items such as printing of shareholder reports, fees for audit, legal and tax services, stock exchange fees, custodian fees and Trustees fees.
As provided in the investment management agreement, the Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to the Fund by DMC and/or its affiliates employees. For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund was charged $6,300 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates employees.
Trustees fees include expenses accrued by the Fund for each Trustees retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC and DSC are officers and/or Trustees of the Fund. These officers and Trustees are paid no compensation by the Fund.
3. Investments
For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund made purchases of $56,736,108 and sales of $52,581,064 of investment securities other than short-term investments.
At May 31, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At May 31, 2009, the cost of investments was $221,886,482. At May 31, 2009, net unrealized depreciation was $35,393,731, of which $6,052,240 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $41,445,971 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.
The Fund applies Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 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. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 Inputs are observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 Inputs are unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting entity
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund investments by the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of May 31, 2009:
Securities | Derivatives | |||||||
Level 1 | $ | 36,482,279 | $ | | ||||
Level 2 | 145,166,633 | (192 | ) | |||||
Level 3 | 4,843,839 | | ||||||
Total | $ | 186,492,751 | $ | (192 | ) |
24
The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
Securities | ||
Balance as of 11/30/08 | $4,503,971 | |
Net realized loss | (318,462 | ) |
Net change in unrealized | ||
appreciation/depreciation | 1,953,928 | |
Net purchases, sales, and settlements | (311,342 | ) |
Net transfers in and/or out of Level 3 | (984,256 | ) |
Balance as of 5/31/09 | $4,843,839 | |
Net change in unrealized appreciation/ | ||
depreciation from investments still | ||
held as of 5/31/09 | $1,953,928 |
4. Dividends 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, distributions from net gains on foreign currency transaction 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 six months ended May 31, 2009 and the year ended November 30, 2008 was as follows:
Six Months | Year | ||||
Ended | Ended | ||||
5/31/09* | 11/30/08 | ||||
Ordinary income | $8,462,314 | $ | 8,332,471 | ||
Return of capital | | 13,699,286 | |||
Total | $8,462,314 | $ | 22,031,757 |
*Tax information for the period ended May 31, 2009 is an estimate and the tax character of dividends and distributions may be redesignated at fiscal year end.
5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis
The components of net assets are estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. As of May 31, 2009, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
Shares of beneficial interest | $ | 226,958,649 | |
Realized losses 12/1/08 5/31/09 | (21,588,900 | ) | |
Other temporary differences | (2,363 | ) | |
Capital loss carryforwards as of 11/30/08 | (36,226,579 | ) | |
Unrealized appreciation of investments | |||
and foreign currencies | (35,667,628 | ) | |
Net assets | $ | 133,473,179 |
The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, tax deferral of losses on straddles, mark-to-market on foreign currency contracts and tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments.
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to dividends and distributions, gains (loss) on foreign currency transactions, market discount and premium on debt instruments, passive foreign investment companies, CDS contracts and paydown gains (losses) of mortgage- and asset-backed securities. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund recorded an estimate of these differences since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end.
Distributions in excess of net investment income | $ | 3,889,198 | |
Accumulated net realized loss | 374,128 | ||
Paid-in capital | (4,263,326 | ) |
For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards remaining at November 30, 2008 will expire as follows: $1,676,026 expires in 2015 and $34,550,553 expires in 2016.
For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund had capital loss of $21,588,900, which may increase the capital loss carryforwards.
6. Capital Stock
Shares obtained under the Funds dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Funds transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, LLC, in the open market. There were no shares issued under the Funds dividend reinvestment plan for the six months ended May 31, 2009 and the year ended November 30, 2008.
For the six months ended May 31, 2009 and the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund did not issue any common shares.
The fund did not repurchase any shares under the Funds Share Repurchase Program during the six months ended May 31, 2009.
7. Line of Credit
For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund borrowed money pursuant to a $50,000,000 Credit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) that expires on July 1, 2009. During the period ended May 31, 2009, the Funds outstanding borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Agreement ranged from $40,000,000 to $45,000,000. 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 May 31, 2009, the par value of loans outstanding was $45,000,000 at a variable interest rate of 1.40%. During the period ended May 31, 2009, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $42,055,556 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.40%. Interest on borrowings is based on a variable short-term rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee is computed at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Funds portfolio.
8. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign 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.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
8. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts (continued)
The use of foreign 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 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.
9. Financial Futures Contracts
The Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge its existing fund securities against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a financial 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 financial futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the financial futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees against default. No financial futures contracts were outstanding at May 31, 2009.
10. Written Options
During the six months ended May 31, 2009, 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, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
Transactions in written options during the six months ended May 31, 2009 for the Fund were as follows:
Number of contracts | Premiums | ||||||
Options outstanding at | |||||||
November 31, 2008 | | $ | |||||
Options written | 850 | 69,699 | |||||
Options expired | (525 | ) | (38,850 | ) | |||
Options terminated in closing | |||||||
purchase transactions | (325 | ) | (30,849 | ) | |||
Options outstanding at | |||||||
May 31, 2009 | | $ |
11. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to adjust the Funds 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.
Interest Rate Swaps. 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 Funds 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. The Funds maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contracts remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is 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.
Index swaps. 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. The Funds maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/ paid to the counterparty over the index swap contracts remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is 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.

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 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 six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment, 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. For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund did not enter into any CDS contracts as a seller of protection.
CDS may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. CDS 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 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.
Swaps Generally. 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 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 statements of net assets. No swap contracts were outstanding at May 31, 2009.
12. 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 BNY Mellon. With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of securities collateral held plus cash collateral received 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 generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three-tiers by Standard & Poors Ratings Group (S&P) or Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) or repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust 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. At May 31, 2009, the Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the Collective Trusts net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, a fund may not receive an amount from the Collective Trust 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. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Funds exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Funds assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. 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 change 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.
At May 31, 2009, the value of the securities on loan was $12,180,484, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of securities collateral valued at $12,420, and cash collateral of $12,720,763. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the statement of net assets under the caption Securities Lending Collateral.
13. 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.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
13. Credit and Market Risks (continued)
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 are 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 S&P and/or Ba or lower by Moodys. 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 maybe 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 or 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 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 May 31, 2009. The Funds 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. Under the Funds 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities policy, the Fund may not invest in an illiquid security if at the time of purchase, the Fund holds more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. 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 Delaware Management Company, a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Funds limitation on investments in illiquid assets. 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 statement of net assets.
14. Contractual Obligations
The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds 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 Funds existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
Board Consideration of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund Investment Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held on May 19-21, 2009 (the Annual Meeting), the Board of Directors (the Board), including a majority of disinterested or independent Directors, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (the Fund). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Delaware Management Company (DMC), which included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (Delaware Investments) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund, the costs of such services to the Fund, economies of scale and the financial condition and profitability of Delaware Investments. Reference was made to information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided in February 2009 and included independent historical and comparative reports prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an independent statistical compilation organization. The Lipper reports compared the Funds investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The independent Directors reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with counsel to the independent Directors. The Board requested and received information regarding Managements policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; the investment managers profitability; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities in certain investment styles which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, DMCs ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.
In considering information relating to the approval of the Funds advisory agreement, the independent Directors received assistance and advice from and met separately with counsel to the independent Directors. Although the Directors gave attention to all information furnished, the following discussion identifies, under separate headings, the primary factors taken into account by the Board during its contract renewal considerations.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Board considered the services provided by Delaware Investments to the Fund and its shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Fund, compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies and restrictions for the Fund, compliance by Management personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds complex and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of the Funds investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMCs efforts to control expenditures while maintaining service levels committed to fund matters. The Board noted that Management finished upgrading investment accounting functions through outsourcing to improve the quality and lower the cost of delivering investment accounting services to the Fund. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by Delaware Investments.
Investment Performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. Although the Board gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Lipper reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Lipper reports prepared for the Fund showed the investment performance of its shares in comparison to a group of similar funds as selected by Lipper (the Performance Universe). A fund with the highest performance ranked first, and a fund with the lowest ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the lowest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for the Fund was shown for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2008. The Boards objective is that the Funds performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe. The following paragraph summarizes the performance results for the Fund and the Boards view of such performance.

Board Consideration of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)
The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all non-leveraged closedend global funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Funds total return for the one-year period was in the fourth quartile. The Funds performance results were not in line with the Boards objective. However, in evaluating performance, the Board considered the Funds short existence. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking effective action to improve Fund performance and meet the Boards performance objective.
Comparative Expenses. The Board considered expense comparison data for the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Fund as of October 31, 2008 and, for comparative funds, information as of their respective fiscal year end occurring on or before August 31, 2008. The Board also focused on the comparative analysis of effective management fees and total expense ratios of the Fund versus effective management fees and expense ratios of a group of similar closed-end funds as selected by Lipper (the Expense Group). In reviewing comparative costs, the Funds contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) within the Expense Group, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers. The Funds total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group. The Board considered fees paid to Delaware Investments for non management services. The Boards objective is to limit the Funds total expense ratio to be competitive with that of the Expense Group. The following paragraph summarizes the expense results for the Fund and the Boards view of such expenses.
The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board was satisfied with the total expenses of the Fund in comparison to those of its Expense Group.
Management Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits, if any, 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, reflect recent 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 industry-wide Securities and Exchange Commission 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 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 values 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 economies of scale on to shareholders was not likely to provide the intended effect.
