Key features
Macquarie VIP Pathfinder Moderately Aggressive — Managed Volatility Series seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in various Delaware Funds (Underlying Funds) and by utilizing a volatility management strategy that is intended to manage volatility of the Series' equity returns. The Manager manages the Series' investments in the Underlying Funds and other assets that are not part of the volatility management strategy. An investment subadviser, Securian Asset Management, Inc. (Securian AM), manages the volatility management strategy of the Series.
Under normal circumstances, the Manager allocates approximately 90-95% (although such amounts may be higher than 95%, depending upon market conditions) of the Series' assets among asset classes so that approximately 55-85% of the value of this portion of the Series' assets are in equities (with a maximum of 30% allocated to international/global stocks) and approximately 15-45% of this portion of the Series' assets are in fixed income (including cash). The Series implements this allocation by investing primarily in the Underlying Funds. The Series typically will invest in Standard Class shares of an Underlying Fund. To the extent an Underlying Fund does not offer Standard Class shares, the Series generally will invest in Service Class shares of such Underlying Fund. Shorter-term allocations may vary from the target ranges described above. For the most current list of Underlying Funds in which the Series invests, please see the Series' most recent shareholder report or Series holdings disclosures. For more information about the investment strategies and risks of an Underlying Fund, see such Underlying Fund's prospectus.
