The fund will be managed by a seasoned group, including Delaware’s co-Chief Investment Officers of Total Return Strategy Roger Early and Paul Grillo, High Yield Chief Kevin Loome, and David Hillmeyer, who specializesin corporate and bank loans.
“In this economic environment when investors are seeking hedges against inflation, a floating-rate fund may be a strong addition to a portfolio,” said J. Scott Coleman, executive vice president and head of distribution and marketing at Delaware. “We believe the flexibility and diversification built into Delaware Diversified Floating Rate Fund is a timely solution.”
