Macquarie Investment Management (Previously Delaware Investments) is a US-based asset management firm providing mutual funds and Institutional investments that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Group, an Australian investment bank.[2]

In April 2017, Delaware Investments was rebranded as Macquarie Investment Management, effectively ending the original entity.[3] The US funds continue to be managed under the "Delaware Funds by Macquarie" brand.

In 2020, Macquarie Investment Management began acquisition of Overland Park, Kansas based asset manager Waddell and Reed (Ivy Funds).[4]
