Summary prospectus

What is the Fund's investment objective?

Nomura Transformational Technologies ETF seeks to provide growth of capital.

What are the Fund's fees and expenses?

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you will incur if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may also incur other fees, such as usual and customary brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and the Example below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Management fees 0.65%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees None
Other expenses1 None
Total annual Fund operating expenses 0.65%
1 Other expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year 3 Years
$66 $208

Portfolio turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. For the fiscal period from January 12, 2026 (commencement of Fund operations) through March 31, 2026, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund's principal investment strategies?

Under normal circumstances, the Nomura Transformational Technologies ETF invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in transformational technology companies (80% policy). For purposes of the Fund's 80% policy, the Fund may invest in, but is not limited to, areas such as:

Technology:

■ semiconductors

■ computer hardware

■ IT services

■ software

■ networking

■ telecommunication services

Applied Technology:

■ agriculture

■ financial services

■ consumer discretionary

■ industrials

■ energy

■ transportation

Summary prospectus

■ entertainment

■ content media

■ data processing

■ internet

■ energy efficiency

■ alternative energy

■ defense electronics

■ retail

Such companies may include: (i) companies that derive a competitive advantage by the application of technological developments or discoveries to grow their business or increase their competitive advantage; (ii) companies whose products, processes or services, in the opinion of Delaware Management Company (the "Manager"), are being, or are expected to be, significantly benefited by the use or commercial application of technological developments or discoveries; and (iii) companies that utilize technology as an agent of change to significantly enhance their business opportunities (applied technology companies). The Fund may invest in securities issued by companies of any size, and may invest without limitation in foreign securities, including securities of issuers within emerging markets. The Fund defines emerging market countries to include those currently considered to be developing by the World Bank, the United Nations, or the countries' governments. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it may invest a significant portion of its total assets in a limited number of issuers.

The Manager typically emphasizes growth potential in selecting stocks; that is, the Manager seeks companies in which earnings are likely to grow faster than the economy. The Manager aims to identify strong secular trends within industries and then applies a largely bottom-up (researching individual issuers) stock selection process by considering a number of factors in selecting securities for the Fund. These may include but are not limited to a company's growth potential, earnings potential, quality of management, valuation, financial statements, industry position/market size potential and applicable economic and market conditions, as well as whether a company's products and services have high barriers to entry. The Fund typically holds a limited number of stocks (generally 20 to 30). The Fund has adopted a policy to concentrate its investments (invest at least 25% of its assets) in the securities of companies in the technology industry.

Many of the companies in which the Fund may invest have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets. Therefore, the Fund may have indirect exposure to various foreign markets through investments in these companies, even if the Fund is not invested directly in such markets. The Fund may invest in foreign securities through the use of American depositary receipts (ADRs), which are receipts issued by a depositary (usually a US bank) and represent the bank's holdings of a stated number of shares of a foreign corporation. Generally, an ADR entitles the holder to all payments of interest, dividends, and capital gains earned by the underlying foreign shares. ADRs are generally denominated in US dollars and are bought and sold on a US stock exchange in the same manner as US securities.

Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Manager uses the same type of analysis that it uses in buying securities in order to determine whether the security has ceased to offer significant growth potential, has become overvalued and/or whether the company prospects of the issuer have deteriorated due to a change in management, change in strategy and/or a change in its financial characteristics. The Manager also may sell a security to reduce the Fund's holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities, when a security's valuation reaches the Manager's fair value targets, or to raise cash.

The Fund's 80% policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval, but the Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' notice before changing this 80% policy.

What are the principal risks of investing in the Fund?

Investing in any exchange-traded fund involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Fund will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio. An investment in the Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. Unlike many ETFs, the Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The Fund's principal risks include:

Summary prospectus

Market risk - The risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market - such as the stock or bond market - will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.

Information technology sector risk - Investment risks associated with investing in the information technology sector, in addition to other risks, include the intense competition to which information technology companies may be subject; the dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel among information technology companies; effects on profitability from being heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of those rights; obsolescence of existing technology; general economic conditions; and government regulation.

Technology industry risk - The risk that investment risks associated with investing in technology securities, in addition to other risks, include: operating in rapidly changing fields, abrupt or erratic market movements, limited product lines, markets or financial resources, management that is dependent on a limited number of people, short product cycles, aggressive pricing of products and services, new market entrants and obsolescence of existing technology. In addition, these securities may be impacted by commodity and energy prices, which can be volatile, and may increase the volatility of these securities.

Growth stock risk - Growth stocks reflect projections of future earnings and revenue. These prices may rise or fall dramatically depending on whether those projections are met. These companies' stock prices may be more volatile, particularly over the short term.

Non-diversification risk - A non-diversified fund has the flexibility to invest as much as 50% of its assets in as few as two issuers with no single issuer accounting for more than 25% of the fund. The remaining 50% of its assets must be diversified so that no more than 5% of its assets are invested in the securities of a single issuer. Because a nondiversified fund may invest its assets in fewer issuers, the value of its shares may increase or decrease more rapidly than if it were fully diversified.

Concentration risk - The risk that a concentration in a particular industry will cause a fund to be more exposed to developments affecting that single industry or industry group than a more broadly diversified fund would be. A fund could experience greater volatility or may perform poorly during a downturn in the industry or industry group because it is more susceptible to the economic, regulatory, political, legal and other risks associated with those industries than a fund that invests more broadly.

Limited number of securities risk - The possibility that a single security's increase or decrease in value may have a greater impact on a fund's value and total return because the fund may hold larger positions in fewer securities than other funds. In addition, a fund that holds a limited number of securities may be more volatile than those funds that hold a greater number of securities.

Foreign and emerging markets risk - The risk that investments in foreign securities (particularly those of issuers in emerging markets) may be adversely affected by political instability; changes in currency exchange rates; inefficient markets and higher transaction costs; foreign economic conditions; the imposition of economic or trade sanctions; or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards. Securities of issuers in emerging markets may be subject to greater risks than securities of issuers in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets may have less stable political and economic environments. In addition, there often is substantially less publicly available information about issuers and such information tends to be of a lesser quality. Economic markets and structures tend to be less mature and diverse and the securities markets may also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility. In addition, where all or a portion of the Fund's underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the market in which the Fund's shares are listed and trading is open, there may be differences between the last quote from the security's closed foreign market and the value of the security during the Fund's domestic trading day. This in turn could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund's shares and the underlying value of those shares.

Depositary receipts risk - Depositary receipts, such as ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments.

Currency risk - The risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies and between various foreign currencies may cause the value of an investment to decline.

Summary prospectus

Small- and mid-market capitalization company risk - The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.

Large-capitalization company risk - Large-capitalization companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. This potentially lower risk means that the Fund's share price may not rise as much as the share prices of funds that focus on smaller-capitalization companies.

Liquidity risk - The possibility that investments cannot be readily sold within seven calendar days at approximately the price at which a fund has valued them.

Government and regulatory risk - The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect fund performance.

ETF risk - The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks: "Authorized participants, market makers and liquidity providers concentration risk," "Secondary Market Trading Risk" and "Shares may trade at prices other than NAV risk."

Authorized participants, market makers and liquidity providers concentration risk - Only authorized participants ("APs") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace, and they have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders. To the extent either of the following events occur, the Fund's shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Fund's shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold.
Secondary market trading risk - Although the Fund's shares are listed on a national securities exchange, The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in the Fund's shares on the Exchange may be halted. An exchange or market may also issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. As a result, the ability to trade certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may disrupt the Fund's creation/redemption process or affect the price at which shares trade in the secondary market.
Shares may trade at prices other than NAV risk - As with all ETFs, shares of the Fund may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The Fund's NAV is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings, while the trading price of the shares fluctuates continuously throughout trading hours on the Exchange, based on both the relative market supply of, and demand for, the shares and the underlying value of the Fund's holdings. As a result, although it is expected that the market price of the Fund's shares will approximate the Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of the Fund's shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

Active management and selection risk - The risk that the securities selected by a fund's management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The securities and sectors selected may vary from the securities and sectors included in the relevant index.

New fund risk - The Fund is a newly organized, non-diversified management investment company with limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board may determine to liquidate the Fund.

Summary prospectus

How has the Nomura Transformational Technologies ETF performed?

The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The Fund commenced investment operations on January 12, 2026, after the conversion of a separately managed account (the "Predecessor Account") into shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Account commenced operations on 11/30/2018. The Manager was the investment adviser for the Predecessor Account for the entire performance period shown. The Predecessor Account will transfer all its portfolio securities to the Fund.

The bar chart and the performance table below are for the Predecessor Account prior to the commencement of the Fund's operations. The Fund's objectives, policies, guidelines and restrictions are, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Predecessor Account. The Predecessor Account has been managed in substantially the same way as the Manager will manage the Fund. The returns for the Predecessor Account reflect its performance prior to the conversion into the Fund. In addition, the Predecessor Account's performance shown below has been recalculated using the management fee that applies to the Fund, which has the effect of reducing the Predecessor Account's performance. The Predecessor Account was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and therefore was not subject to certain restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act on registered investment companies and by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") on regulated investment companies ("RICs"). If the Predecessor Account had been registered under the 1940 Act, the Predecessor Account's performance may have been adversely affected. Past performance before and after taxes does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

The performance of the Predecessor Account was calculated using standardized SEC calculation methodologies.

This bar chart shows the performance of the Predecessor Account for calendar years ended December 31. The table shows how the Predecessor Account's average annual returns for 1-year, 5-year and since inception periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Updated performance information will be available by calling 844-469-9911 or by visiting the Fund's website at global.nomuraassetmanagement.com/investments/etf.

Calendar year-by-year total return

During the period illustrated in this bar chart, the Predecessor Account's highest quarterly return was 34.66% for the quarter ended 6/30/20, and its lowest quarterly return was (26.19)% for the quarter ended 6/30/22.

The Fund's performance from January 12, 2026 (commencement of Fund operations) to June 30, 2026 was 34.80%.

This table shows the Predecessor Account's average annual total returns for the periods ending December 31, 2025. The table also shows how the Predecessor Account's performance compares with the returns on an index comprised of companies similar to those held by the Predecessor Account and by the Fund. The Fund will use the same benchmark for measuring its performance.

Purchase and redemption of Fund shares

The Fund is an ETF. As an ETF, only APs may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund issues or redeems shares that have been aggregated into blocks of 25,000 shares or multiples thereof (Creation Units) to APs who have entered into agreements with the Fund's distributor, Foreside Financial Services, LLC. The Fund will generally issue or redeem Creation Units in exchange for a basket of securities (and/or an amount of cash) that the Fund specifies each day. Individual shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount).

An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Recent information, including information on the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available on the Fund's website at global.nomuraassetmanagement.com/investments/etf.

Tax information

The Fund's distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, in which case your distributions may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from the tax-advantaged account.

Payments to broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker/dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for certain Fund-related activities, including those that are designed to make the intermediary more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, such as the Fund, as well as for marketing, education or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
