Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds 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. |

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and
Income Fund
May 31, 2008
(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 asked 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 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 (Collective Trust), 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. 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, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures, or 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).
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 distribution 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 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, 2008, 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 are due to changes in the 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 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 have been recorded in accordance with the
Funds understanding of the applicable countrys 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 the average
daily net assets of the Fund.
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, 2008, the Fund was charged $5,256 for these services.
At May 31, 2008, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:
Investment management fee payable to DMC | $ | 174,594 |
Fees and other expenses payable to DSC | 3,243 | |
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates* | 42,159 |
*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, 2008, the Fund was charged $7,051 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 per 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, 2008, the Fund made purchases
of $105,454,686 and sales of $114,724,980 of investment securities other than
short-term investments.
At May 31, 2008, 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, 2008, the cost of investments was $249,940,560. At May 31, 2008, net unrealized depreciation was $24,362,408, of which $3,314,894 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $27,677,302 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.
Effective December 1, 2007, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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. 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 in 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 that 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 Funds investments by the above FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of May 31, 2008:
Securities | Derivatives | |||||||
Level 1 | $ | 128,664,631 | $ | | ||||
Level 2 | 86,026,360 | (64,738 | ) | |||||

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, distributions from net gains 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 six months ended May 31, 2008 and
the period ended November 30, 2007 was as follows:
Six Months | 6/29/07** | ||||
Ended | to | ||||
5/31/08* | 11/30/07 | ||||
Ordinary income | $ | 11,015,878 | $ | 4,027,580 | |
Return of capital | | 1,480,360 | |||
Total | $ | 11,015,878 | $ | 5,507,940 |
*Tax information for the period ended May 31, 2008 is an estimate and the tax character of dividends and distributions may be redesignated at fiscal year end. |
**Date of commencement of operations. |
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, 2008, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis
were as follows:
Shares of beneficial interest | $ | 238,559,894 | ||
Realized losses 12/1/07 5/31/08 | (8,105,251 | ) | ||
Capital loss carryforwards | (1,723,170 | ) | ||
Unrealized depreciation of investments | ||||
and foreign currencies | (24,301,512 | ) | ||
Net assets | $ | 204,429,961 |
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 on futures contracts, market-to-market on foreign currency 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 dividends and distributions, gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, foreign futures contracts, CDS contracts, paydowns 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, 2008, 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 | $ | 6,455,995 | |
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | (14,029 | ) | |
Paid-in capital | (6,441,966 | ) |
For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards of $1,723,170 remaining at November 30, 2007 will expire in 2015.
For the six months ended May 31, 2008, the Fund had capital losses of 8,105,251 which may be added to 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, 2008 and the period ended
November 30, 2007.
For the six months ended May 31, 2008 and the period ended November 30, 2007, the Fund issued 0 and 12,924, 200 common shares, respectively.
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 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.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
8. Futures
Contracts
The Fund may invest in financial
futures contracts to hedge its existing portfolio securities against
fluctuations in fair 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.
Lastly, it should be noted that the Fund has filed with the National Futures Association a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term commodity pool operator (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to the Funds operation. Accordingly, the Fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO.
9. Options Written
During the six months ended May 31, 2008, 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 options written during the six months ended May 31, 2008 for the Fund were as follows:
Number of contracts | Premiums | ||||||
Options outstanding at | |||||||
November 30, 2007 | 100 | $ | 34,699 | ||||
Options written | 2,868 | 892,835 | |||||
Option exercised | (643 | ) | (346,060 | ) | |||
Options expired | (1,655 | ) | (366,391 | ) | |||
Options terminated in closing | |||||||
purchase transactions | (570 | ) | (133,285 | ) | |||
Options outstanding at May 31, 2008 | 100 | $ | 81,798 |
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 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.
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.
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 six months ended May 31, 2008, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser or seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement.
22 |
10. Swap Contracts
(continued)
CDS may involve greater risks
than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. CDSs 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 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.
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 The Bank of
New York Mellon (BNY 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
Trust established by BNY 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 three tiers by Standard & Poors
Ratings Group (S&P) or Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) or
repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. 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 securities lending income net of allocations to the
security lending agent and the borrower.
At May 31, 2008, the market value of the securities on loan was $29,304,889, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $1,220,506, and cash collateral of $29,433,089. Investments purchased with cash collateral 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 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 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 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 may be adversely affected by shifts in the markets perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Funds yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
12. Credit and Market Risk
(continued)
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 six months
ended May 31, 2008. The Funds REITs holdings are also affected by interest rate
changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance
their ongoing operations.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Funds Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Funds limitation on investments in illiquid 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.
13. 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.
14. Line of Credit
On July 2, 2008 the Fund entered into a Credit Agreement with
BNY Mellon for $50,000,000 that expires on July 1, 2009. The Credit Agreement,
which was approved by the Funds Board on May 22, 2008, permits the Fund to
borrow at: (1) certain London Interbank Offered Rates plus 0.70%; or (2) the
greater of (a) certain Fed Fund Rates plus 0.50% or (b) BNY Mellons prime
commercial lending rate as publicly announced from time to time. A commitment
fee is computed at the rate of 0.10% per annum on the unused balance. The Fund
anticipates that it will begin borrowing under the Credit Agreement on or about
July 22, 2008. The loan will be collateralized by the Funds
portfolio.
