There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives through the use of such techniques.

Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment 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.
5 Adjusted average net assets excludes debt outstanding.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
May 31, 2012 (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 Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol DEX.

The primary 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 (U.S. GAAP) 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 New York Stock Exchange (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, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally 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, which approximates fair value. Short-term debt securities are valued using the evaluated mean. Other debt securities and credit default swap (CDS) contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. 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 company securities are valued at net asset value per share. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask price, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. 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, which approximates fair value. Generally, 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 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, generally as of 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 Fund’s 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. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (November 30, 2008–November 30, 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

Distributions — The Fund has implemented a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net investment income and short-term capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted, and if necessary, a return of capital. Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years. For federal income tax purposes, the effect of such capital loss carryovers may be to convert (to the extent of such current year gains) what would otherwise be returns of capital into

24



distributions taxable as ordinary income. This tax effect can occur during times of extended market volatility. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), this tax effect attributable to the Fund’s capital loss carryovers (the conversion of returns of capital into distributions taxable as ordinary income) will no longer apply to net capital losses of the Fund arising in Fund tax years beginning after November 30, 2011. The actual determination of the source of the Fund’s distributions can be made only at year-end.

Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may purchase certain U.S. government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Fund’s custodian or a third-party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements as of the date of this report were entered into on May 31, 2012.

To Be Announced Trades — The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (e.g., “when issued,” “delayed delivery,” “forward commitment,” or “TBA transactions”) consistent with the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. 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 generally 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 is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss 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. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 and the differences could be material.

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. Taxable no-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible debt securities are amortized to interest income over the estimated lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment 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. 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 dividend have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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, 2012.

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 0.95% of the adjusted average daily net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment management fees, adjusted average daily 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 adjusted 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, 2012, the Fund was charged $5,946 for these services.

At May 31, 2012, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

Investment management fees payable to DMC       $ 198,899
Fees and other expenses payable to DSC 1,026
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates* 5,286

*DMC, as part of its administrative services, pays operating expenses on behalf of the Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic basis. 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, 2012, the Fund was charged $24,354 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

Trustees’ fees include expenses accrued by the Fund for each Trustee’s 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, 2012, the Fund made purchases of $74,349,540 and sales of $59,448,402 of investment securities other than U.S. government securities and short-term investments. For the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Fund made purchases of $3,448,473 and sales of 3,298,675 of long-term U.S. government securities.

At May 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since the final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At May 31, 2012, the cost of investments was $256,185,284. At May 31, 2012, net unrealized depreciation was $7,277,713, of which $14,093,233 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $21,370,946 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.

U.S. GAAP 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. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established 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 entity’s 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 Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 –  inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)
     
Level 2 –  other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)
       
Level 3 –  inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of May 31, 2012:

      Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Agency, Asset- & Mortgage-Backed Securities $ $ 3,623,319 $ $ 3,623,319
Common Stock 98,818,462 1 98,818,463
Corporate Debt 1,524,430 100,612,997 1,024,543 103,161,970
Sovereign Bonds 16,173,613 16,173,613
U.S. Treasury Obligations 642,582 642,582
Other 659,775 396,327 1,056,102
Short-Term Investments 15,515,607 15,515,607
Securities Lending Collateral 9,915,915 9,915,915
Total $ 101,002,667 $ 146,880,360 $ 1,024,544 $ 248,907,571
   
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts $ $ 2,890 $ $ 2,890
Swap Contracts 18,217 18,217

A reconcile of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund had a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim or end of the period in relation to the net assets.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

3. Investments (continued)

During the six months ended May 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments and Level 3 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. International fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded in accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, and ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements: (a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, (b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and (c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

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. GAAP. 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, 2012 and the year ended November 30, 2011 was as follows:

Six Months Year
Ended Ended
      5/31/12*       11/30/11
Ordinary income $ 9,726,948 $ 9,958,352
Return of capital 6,379,270
Total $ 9,726,948 $ 16,337,622

*Tax information for the six months ended May 31, 2012 is an estimate and the tax character of dividends and distributions may be redesignated at fiscal year end.

28



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, 2012, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

Shares of beneficial interest       $ 243,272,669
Capital loss carryforwards as of 11/30/11* (59,635,497 )
Realized losses 12/1/11–5/31/12 (20,262 )
Other temporary differences (32,525 )
Unrealized depreciation (7,114,628 )
Net assets $ 176,469,757

*This amount includes $7,927,235 of capital loss carryforward from the Fund’s merger with Delaware Investments Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. on the close of business on October 21, 2011. See Note 7.

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 on straddles, contingent payment debt instruments, market-to-market of foreign currency exchange contracts, partnership income, tax treatment of CDS contracts, market discount and premium on debt instruments and unrealized gain on passive foreign investment companies.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, dividends and distributions, market discount and premium on certain debt instruments and paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Fund recorded an estimate of these differences since final characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end.

Distributions in excess of net investment income       $ 5,188,285
Accumulated net realized loss 109,292
Paid-in capital (5,297,577 )

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, 2011 will expire as follows: 3,377,704 expires in 2015, $34,009,571 expires in 2016 and $22,248,222 expires in 2017.

For the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Fund had capital loss of $20,262, which may increase the capital loss carryforwards.

On December 22, 2010, the Act was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

6. Capital Stock

Shares obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer agent, Computershare Shareowner Services LLC (formerly BNY Mellon Shareowner Services) (“Computershare”), in the open market if the shares of the Fund are trading at a discount to the Fund’s net asset value on the dividend payment date. However, the dividend reinvestment plan provides that if the shares of the Fund are trading at a premium to the Fund’s net asset value on the dividend payment date, the Fund will issue shares to shareholders of record at net asset value. During the six months May 31, 2012, the Fund issued 38,963 shares for $463,724 under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan because the Fund was trading at a premium to net asset value on the respective dividend payment dates. During the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund issued 52,357 shares for $675,989 under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan because the Fund was trading at a premium to net asset value on the respective dividend payment dates.

7. Fund Merger

As of the close of business on October 21, 2011, the Fund acquired all of the assets of the Delaware Investment® Global Dividend and Income Fund Inc., (Acquired Fund), a closed-end investment management company, in exchange for the shares of the Fund (Acquiring Fund) pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization (Reorganization). The shareholders of the Acquired Fund received shares of the Acquiring Fund equal to the aggregate net asset value of shares in the Acquired Fund prior to the Reorganization, as shown in the following table:

Acquiring       Acquired      
Fund Fund
Shares   Shares Value
2,725,926 4,789,889   $ 31,394,740

The Reorganization was treated as a non-taxable event and, accordingly, the Acquired Fund’s basis in securities acquired reflected historical cost basis as of the date of transfer. The net assets, net unrealized appreciation, distributions in excess of net investment income, and accumulated net realized loss of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on October 21, 2011, were as follows:

Net assets       $ 31,394,740
Distribution in excess of net investment income 150,321  
Accumulated net realized loss     (8,258,081 )
Net unrealized depreciation (405,624 )

The net assets of the Acquiring Fund before the acquisition were $150,504,258. The net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately following the acquisition were $181,898,998.

Assuming that the acquisition had been completed on December 1, 2010, the beginning of the Acquiring Fund’s reporting period, the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended November 30, 2011, were as follows:

Net investment income       $ 8,721,735
Net realized gain on investments and foreign currencies 2,940,655  
Change in unrealized depreciation and foreign currencies   (7,495,108 )
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations (4,167,282 )

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Fund’s statement of operations since the close of business on October 21, 2011.

8. Line of Credit

For the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Fund borrowed money pursuant to a $67,000,000 Credit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) that expires on June 26, 2013. Depending on market conditions, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the future.

30



At May 31, 2012, the Fund had two loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The par value of one loan outstanding was $40,000,000 at a variable interest rate of 1.75%. The par value of the other loan outstanding was $25,725,000 at a variable interest rate of 1.41%. During the period ended May 31, 2012, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $56,052,869 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 0.91%.

Interest on borrowings is based on a variable short-term rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee is computed at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Fund’s portfolio.

9. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund enters 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.

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 an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. 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 Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of their 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 Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Options Contracts — During the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps “swaptions”, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options purchased. 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. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change.

Transactions in options written during the six months ended May 31, 2012 for the Fund were as follows:

Number of      
Contracts Premiums
Options outstanding at November 30, 2011         120          $ 2,241  
Options expired (120 )   (2,241 )
Options outstanding at May 31, 2012 $  —

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

9. Derivatives (continued)

Swap Contracts – The Fund enters into CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. 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.

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 referenced 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 reference security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.

During the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and 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. At May 31, 2012, net unrealized appreciation of CDS was $18,217. If a credit event had occurred for all open swap transactions where collateral posting was required as of May 31, 2012, the Fund would have received EUR 175,000 less the value of the contracts’ related reference obligations.

As disclosed in the footnotes to the statement of net assets, at May 31, 2012, the notional value of the protection sold was $15,000, which reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund would have been required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event had occurred. The quoted market prices and resulting market values for CDS contracts on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative if the swap agreement has been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. At May 31, 2012, net unrealized appreciation of the protection sold was $360.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Swaps Generally. Because there is generally no organized market for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event that 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 statement of net assets.

Fair values of derivative instruments as of May 31, 2012 were as follows:

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

10. 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. At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (i) 102% with respect to U.S. securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars; and (ii) 105% with respect to foreign securities. With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held 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 by the end of the following business day which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of the security on loan.

Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Delaware Investments Collateral Fund No. 1 (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of funds managed by DMC that participate in BNY Mellon’s securities lending program. The Collective Trust may invest in U.S. government securities and high quality corporate debt, asset-backed and other money market securities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities, provided that the Collective Trust will generally have a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Fund’s previous collateral investment pool other than cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the previous collateral investment pool. The Fund’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the previous collateral investment pool 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 changes 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.

The Collective Trust used for the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers of securities 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. The Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust or another collateral investment pool. This could occur if an investment in a collateral investment pool defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the collateral investment pool to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the collateral investment pool’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Fund may not receive an amount from the collateral investment pool 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.

At May 31, 2012, the value of securities on loan was $10,520,249, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $656,856 and cash collateral of $10,306,537. At May 31, 2012, the value of invested collateral was $9,915,915. These investments are presented on the statement of net assets under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

11. 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 Fund’s 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.

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which carry ratings of BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s and Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 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 market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

The Fund 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, 2012. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the statement of net assets.

However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

13. Subsequent Events

Change in independent registered public accounting firm

Due to independence matters under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules relating to the January 4, 2010 acquisition of Delaware Investments (including DMC and DSC) by Macquarie Group, Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) has resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (the Fund) effective May 20, 2010. At a meeting held on May 20, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Fund, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2010. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Fund did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Fund and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Fund nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund’s financial statements.
