8 Rationale for Global Real Estate * Improve returns within global portfolios Asia - Access to high secular growth markets in China/India/Hong Kong through developers and REITs Europe - Introduction of REIT legislation has facilitated transfer on tax efficient basis of corporate/state owned real estate to transparent listed vehicle US - Deep and transparent liquid market provides stable returns over time. Privatizations of the past decade and distressed assets will have to re-equitize through IPO's. Emerging Markets - Growing economies and growth of middle class will provide opportunities for retail and residential real estate. * Diversification Growth of Asia and other Emerging Markets will provide investors with low correlation between regions/countries Ability to invest with world class management teams in each region * Liquidity Growth will continue in listed sector and provide investors with the ability for more flexible asset allocation 8

9 Philosophy We believe that superior investments in the global real estate market can best be identified through a combination of top-down country investment conditions and a dual (property- and security-level) bottom-up, fundamental approach to research. Further, we believe that constructing a portfolio which represents the best relative values in the marketplace and emphasizes companies with safe, predictable cash flow growth will produce consistent excess returns at moderate risk levels for our clients. Top-down overview Economic and regulatory considerations Dual bottom-up research Property and security level Construct portfolio based on relative values Capacity constrained 9

23 Global Real Estate Securities Composite Performance Disclosures: Global Real Estate Securities composite Delaware Investments has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ). Delaware Investments is the marketing name for Delaware Management Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Delaware Management Business Trust ( DMBT ) is a registered investment adviser offering a comprehensive array of diversified investment management strategies across all major asset classes. Additional information regarding the firm s policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance results is available upon request. A complete list and description of Delaware Investments composites is available upon request. The Delaware Global Real Estate Securities composite seeks to buy stocks in the global real estate market that are priced low compared to the companies' current dividends and growth prospects. This composite was created in Composite returns are derived from all discretionary fee paying accounts. Performance results are shown as total returns, net of dividend withholding taxes, assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains as well as no reductions for taxes, are presented before and after the deduction of Delaware Investments investment advisory fees, and are calculated in U.S. dollars. Delaware Investments investment advisory fees are described in Part II of our Form ADV. Delaware Global Real Estate Securities, the fee schedule is as follows: first $50 million, 0.80%; next $50 million, 0.75%; amounts over $100 million, 0.70%. Management fees, and any other expenses incurred in the management of the account, will reduce your return. After inclusion of management fees, annualized performance for the periods of 1 year and since inception through March 31, 2009, would have been % and %, respectively. The actual fee schedule may vary. Internal dispersion is calculated using the asset-weighted standard deviation of the annual returns of all the portfolios that were included in the composite for the entire year. Standard deviation is only shown if the composite has at least six accounts that were managed for the full calendar year. The performance data presented here should not be taken as any guarantee or other assurance as to future results. The Global Real Estate Securities composite is benchmarked against and compared to the FTSE EPRA/ NAREIT Global Real Estate Index. Dividends relating to the index are reinvested after deduction of withholding taxes, applying the rate to nonresident individuals who do not benefit double taxation treaties. The net benchmark uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies (as Luxembourg applies the highest rates). The information presented is available for institutional one-on-one presentations only. It is not intended and should not be construed to be a presentation of information concerning any mutual fund, including the Delaware Pooled Trust. 23
