In response to client demand, Macquarie Group’s Delaware Investments today announced the availability of new retirement share classes (R6 shares) for eight of its mutual funds. The new Class R6 shares round out Delaware’s current retirement plan offering by providing plan sponsors with a lower-cost option with greater fee transparency for certain employer-sponsored retirement plans.

The Class R6 shares are available in the following Funds:

  • Delaware Diversified Income Fund (DPZRX)
  • Delaware Emerging Markets Fund (DEMZX)
  • Delaware Extended Duration Bond Fund (DEZRX)
  • Delaware Small Cap Core Fund (DCZRX)
  • Delaware Small Cap Value Fund (DVZRX)
  • Delaware Smid Cap Growth Fund (DFZRX)
  • Delaware U.S. Growth Fund (DUZRX)
  • Delaware Value® Fund (DDZRX)

The R6 shares are offered at net asset value with no class sales charges or 12b-1 fees, and do not pay any form of shareholder servicing or sub-accounting fees to third-party financial intermediaries.

"We understand the many issues facing plan sponsors and their underlying plan participants. To address the need for fee transparency, we are pleased to add these share classes to some of our most popular mutual funds in retirement plans," said Jamie Fox, head of defined contribution investment-only distribution. “We may add more R6 shares to our lineup as our clients and the market demands.”
