1. Significant Accounting
Policies
The following accounting policies are in
accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are
consistently followed by Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
(Fund). This report covers the period of time since the Funds last fiscal year
end.
Security Valuation Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs 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 or ETF does not trade, the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. US government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities 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. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities, and US government agency mortgage securities, pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed; attributes of the collateral; yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as broker/dealer-supplied prices. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, 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 Funds Board of Trustees. 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-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00pm. 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. Whenever such a significant event occurs, the Fund may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing). The foregoing valuation policies apply to restricted and unrestricted securities.
2. Investments
US 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 entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best
information available under the circumstances. The Funds investment in its
entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which
are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is
summarized below.
Level 1 | |
Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded 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. (Examples: 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 |
|
Significant unobservable inputs, including the Funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities) |
16 NQ-DEX [8/17] 10/17 (274105)
(Unaudited)
Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. 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 Funds investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of Aug. 31, 2017:

As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at Aug. 31, 2017, the majority of the Funds common stock was categorized as Level 2.
The securities that have been valued at zero on the Schedule of investments are considered to be Level 3 investments in this table.
During the period ended Aug. 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant 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. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities in the Fund occurs when market volatility exceeds an established rolling threshold. If the threshold is exceeded on a given date, then prices of international securities (those that traded on exchanges that close at a different time than the time that the Funds net asset value (NAV) is determined) are established using a separate pricing feed from a third party vendor designed to establish a price for each such security as of the time that the Funds NAV is determined. Further, 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, causing a change in classification between levels. The Funds policy is to recognize transfers between levels based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to the Funds net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as they are not considered significant to the Funds net assets at the beginning, interim, or end of the period. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 inputs since the Level 3 investments are not considered significant to the Funds net assets at the end of the period.
3. Subsequent
Events
Management has determined that no
material events or transactions occurred subsequent to Aug. 31, 2017 that would
require recognition or disclosure in the Funds Schedule of
investments.
