RESOLUTIONS – FIDELITY BOND COVERAGE
($40 Million Joint Fidelity Bond)



WHEREAS, this Board of Trustees/Directors (the “Board”) has considered the form of the joint insured broker's blanket bond for the Delaware Funds by Macquarie, and the amount of such joint insured broker's blanket bond, and has considered the value of the aggregate assets of the Funds to which any covered person may have access, the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of the assets of each of the Fund's Series, the nature of the securities in each Series' portfolios and the higher cost that would have to be paid to purchase a comparable single insured bond for each Fund;

WHEREAS, the Board, including all of the Trustees/Directors who were not then interested persons with respect to the Fund, has concluded that the Fund’s participation in the proposed joint insured broker’s blanket bond is in the best interest of the Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Board, including all of the Trustees/Directors who were not then interested persons with respect to the Fund, has determined that the benefits of having ICI Mutual Insurance Company (“ICI Mutual”) participate in the joint insured broker’s blanket bond justify the maintenance of reserve premiums with ICI Mutual and the acceptance of restrictions upon the withdrawal of those reserve premiums;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED, that the officers of the Fund are authorized and directed to cause each of its Series to participate in the joint insured broker's blanket bonds in the aggregate amount of $40,000,000, which also covers the other Delaware Funds by Macquarie, and that the Fund shall pay its share of the premium determined in accordance with the allocation methodology discussed with the Trustees/Directors; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the officers of the Fund are hereby authorized and directed to execute an agreement under Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act with the other insureds listed on the broker's blanket bond (the "Agreement"), whereby the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the premium and coverage of the bond, and the share of the premium and coverage of the other Funds shall, if appropriate, be

proportionately adjusted; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Secretary of the Fund is hereby authorized and directed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a copy of the bond and a copy of the resolutions approving the amount, type, form and coverage of the bond and the portion of the premium to be paid by each of the Fund's Series, a statement showing the amount of the single insured bond which the Fund would have provided and maintained had it not been named as an insured under the broker's blanket bond described herein, a statement of the period for which premiums have been paid and a copy of the Agreement, all pursuant to Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act, and that the Secretary of the Fund or his appropriate designee be designated as the officer directed to make all necessary filings; and it is further

RESOLVED, that this Board, including those Trustees/Directors who do not have control over or access to any of the portfolio securities, funds or other assets of the Fund's Series, hereby conclude that the amount, scope and coverage of the fidelity bond of the Fund are adequate; and it is further

RESOLVED, that this Board, taking all relevant factors into consideration, hereby determines that it is in the best interest of the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders for the Fund and each Series to participate in the joint insured broker’s blanket bond described at this meeting, and that the proposed premium allocation to the Fund and to each Series is fair and reasonable to the Fund and each Series based upon a consideration of the relative higher premium that would have been paid if comparable insurance coverage were purchased separately by the insured parties.

JOINT INSURANCE AGREEMENT


THIS JOINT INSURANCE AGREEMENT, dated as of October 31, 2021, is by and among the funds comprising the Delaware Funds by Macquarie (listed on Attachment I hereto) (the "Funds").
BACKGROUND

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into with the following background:
A. Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to require that the officers and employees of registered management investment companies be bonded against larceny and embezzlement, and the SEC has promulgated Rule 17g-1 requiring such coverage in specified minimum amounts.
B. The Funds have obtained and maintain the bonds and policies of insurance providing coverage against larceny and embezzlement by their officers and employees set forth in Attachment I hereto (the “Joint Bonds”).
C. The Board of Trustees/Directors of each Fund, by vote of a majority of its members including a majority of those members of the Board of each Fund who are not "interested persons" as defined by Section 2 (a) (19) of the Act, has given due consideration to all factors relevant to the amount, type, form, coverage and apportionment of recoveries and premiums on the Joint Bonds and has approved the form, term and amount of the Joint Bonds, the portion of the premiums payable by each Fund, and the manner in which recovery on the Joint Bonds ("Joint Bond Proceeds"), if any, shall be shared by and among the parties hereto as hereinafter set forth.
1

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and among the parties hereto as follows:
1. ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS
a. In the event a single party suffers a loss or losses covered under the Joint Bonds, the party suffering such loss or losses shall be entitled to be indemnified up to the full amount of the Joint Bond Proceeds.
b. If more than one party is damaged in a single loss for which Joint Bond Proceeds are received, each such party shall receive that portion of the Joint Bond Proceeds which represents the loss sustained by that party, unless the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such party.  If the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such party sustaining a loss, the Joint Bond Proceeds shall be allocated among such parties as follows:

(1)
Each party sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the minimum amount of bond coverage then allocated to such party in accordance with Rule 17g-1.  Any party not fully indemnified for its insurable losses as a result of this allocation is hereafter referred to as an "Unindemnified Party".

(2)
The remaining portion of the Joint Bond Proceeds, if any, shall be allocated to each Unindemnified Party in the same proportion as such party's allocation of minimum bond coverage (in accordance with Rule 17g-1) bears to the aggregate of the minimum bond coverage amounts for all Unindemnified Parties, provided that no party shall receive Joint Bond Proceeds in excess of its actual insurable losses.
2

2. ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
a. The premiums payable with respect to the Joint Bonds shall be allocated to each of the parties hereto on an annual basis (and, in the event any increased or additional premium is required to be paid during the year, as of the date such increased or additional premium is due) in the same proportion as each party's minimum amount of bond coverage as then reflected on Attachment II hereto shall bear to the total of such minimum coverage.

3. BOND COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS AND CHANGES
a. Each party hereto has determined that the minimum amount of fidelity bond coverage deemed appropriate to be maintained by it as of the date of this Agreement is as set forth opposite its name in Attachment II hereto.  Each of the Funds represents and warrants to each of the other parties hereto that the minimum amount of coverage required of it under Rule 17g-1(d)(1) as of the date hereof is not more than the amount reflected opposite its name in Attachment II hereto.  Each of the Funds further agrees that it will promptly take such steps as may be necessary, from time to time, to increase its minimum coverage as set forth in Attachment II hereto (and, if necessary, the face amount of the Joint Bonds) so that its minimum coverage as therein set forth shall at no time be less than the minimum coverage required of it under Rule 17g-1(d)(1).
b. The parties hereto may, from time to time hereafter, agree to modify Attachment II hereto to reflect changes in allocation of premium and coverage.  All references in this Agreement to "Attachment II" shall be to such Attachment as amended as of the relevant date on which premiums are to be allocated or losses are sustained.

4. ADDITION OF NEW FUNDS AND OTHER ENTITIES
The parties to this Agreement contemplate that additional funds or other related entities permitted by Rule 17g-1 ("Additional Entities") may be added to Delaware Funds by
3
Macquarie from time to time after the date of this Agreement.  In the event an Additional Entity is organized, such Entity may be included as an additional party to this Agreement if the Board of Trustees/Directors of each of the Funds (including an Additional Fund if it is being added) approve such addition and establish a revised minimum allocation of bond coverage.  The inclusion of an Additional Entity as a party to this Agreement shall be evidenced by such Entity's execution of the Addendum to this Agreement and all references herein to the "Funds" shall include any such Additional Entities.

5. TERM OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall apply to the present fidelity bond coverage and any renewals or replacements thereof and shall continue until terminated by any party hereto upon the giving of not less than sixty days written notice to the other parties.

6. DISPUTES
Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the decision rendered therein shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
7. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC.
4

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, have caused this Agreement to be executed by a duly authorized officer or representative as of the date first written above.
