Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund Appoints Allan Saustrup Jensen as Co-Manager

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (NYSE: DEX) (the “Fund”), a New York Stock Exchange–listed closed-end fund trading under the symbol “DEX,” announced that, effective May 19, 2020, Allan Saustrup Jensen will be appointed as co-manager for the Fund. Mr. Jensen will join Damon J. Andres, Åsa Annerstedt, Wayne A. Anglace, Adam H. Brown, Liu-Er Chen, Craig C. Dembek, Roger A. Early, Chris Gowlland, Jens Hansen, Claus Juul, Nikhil G. Lalvani, Paul A. Matlack, John P. McCarthy, Klaus Petersen, and Babak (Bob) Zenouzi in making day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund.

Allan Saustrup Jensen, CFA, CAIA^®, Portfolio Manager, joined Macquarie Investment Management (MIM) in May 2020 as a portfolio manager for the firm’s Global Equity team. He has more than 20 years of experience in the asset management industry. Prior to joining MIM, he spent five years at European Capital Partners as a fund manager. From 2010 to 2015, Jensen was a trader at European Value Partners. Prior to that, he spent four years at UBS Wealth Management as a portfolio manager. He began his investment career at Nordea Bank. Jensen attended Copenhagen Business School where he earned a Graduate Diploma in finance.

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund invests globally in dividend-paying or income-generating securities across multiple asset classes, including but not limited to: equity securities of large, well-established companies; securities issued by real estate companies (including real estate investment trusts and real estate industry operating companies); debt securities (such as government bonds; investment grade and high risk, high yield corporate bonds; and convertible bonds); and emerging market securities. The Fund also uses enhanced income strategies by engaging in dividend capture trading; option overwriting; and realization of gains on the sale of securities, dividend growth, and currency forwards. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest: (1) at most 60% of its net assets in securities of U.S. issuers; and (2) at least 40% of its net assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers, unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Manager, in which case, the Fund would invest at least 30% of its net assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers; and 3) the Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities issued by real estate companies (including real estate investment trusts and real estate industry operating companies). In addition, the Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain higher return for the Fund.

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. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. 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.
