Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of Transamerica Partners Institutional Funds Group and Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation Funds, we would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial adviser in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.
This annual report is provided to you with the intent of presenting a comprehensive review of the investments of each of your funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe this report to be an important part of the investment process. In addition to providing a comprehensive review, this report also provides a discussion of accounting policies as well as matters presented to shareholders that may have required their vote.
We believe it is important to recognize and understand current market conditions in order to provide a context for reading this report. During the past twelve months, markets have oscillated from significant weakness in conjunction with investors’ concerns over the health of the economy and the labor market to strengthen in conjunction with investor optimism of recovery and bargain hunting. The equity markets touched new lows in March 2009, and then subsequently rallied sharply. The period ended with positive twelve month returns for both the broad equity and bond markets. As economic recovery prospects improved and the market rallied from new lows in March, the U.S. dollar weakened versus the Euro, British Pound, and Japanese Yen until December, when it began to modestly strengthen. Oil prices have been volatile over the past year, hitting their lows in January 2009 and recovering sharply to end significantly higher at the end of the period. The Federal Reserve has kept the federal funds rate in a range of 0%-0.25% in an effort to stimulate the economy. The unemployment rate has risen for most of 2009 as labor market conditions remain weak. Bargain hunting and an increased appetite for risk following market lows in March 2009 led to strong gains for particular equity and fixed-income sectors, including emerging market stocks, technology stocks and high yield bonds. Treasuries and money market securities lagged on a relative basis. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned 22.68%, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned 26.46%, and the Barclays Capital Aggregate U.S. Bond Index returned 5.93%. Please keep in mind it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.
In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial adviser is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial advisers are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial adviser, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline, and your risk tolerance.
Please contact your financial adviser if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.
Sincerely,

Transamerica Partners Institutional Stock Index Fund
Sub-adviser:
BlackRock Fund Advisors
Market Overview:
Following a very difficult 2008, which saw a global financial and economic meltdown, stocks entered 2009 by falling another 35% in the United States as fears of depression and financial system nationalization gripped investors. From March 2009 lows, stocks galloped higher as those fears dissipated and as global monetary and fiscal stimuli began to reflate economic activity. While deleveraging and other deflationary forces have not left the scene, consistent and aggressive government policy ignited the reflationary process. 2009 produced near zero real economic growth, weak nominal growth and significant earnings declines. Despite that backdrop, “risky” assets outperformed “safe” assets as sidelined cash (which was producing near-zero returns) moved back into the markets. Emerging markets outperformed developed markets. Inflation fell in most countries, but widespread deflation was avoided. Treasury rates moved modestly higher as the yield curve steepened. Quality spreads narrowed, while equity markets remained volatile, but ended the year with sharp gains. Financial stocks and other low-quality securities led these gains, and Information Technology was the standout sector performer. Government spending reached record proportions, and the year ended with stimulus leading the way and masking structural problems that remain.
By the numbers, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 22.68%; the Nasdaq Composite advanced 45.32% (helped in large part by the exceptional performance of the Technology sector); and the S&P 500 Index rose 26.46%.
Within the S&P 500 Index, all 10 sectors recorded positive returns for the period. Information Technology (+61.71%), Materials (+48.59%) and Consumer Discretionary (+41.36%) were the best performers for the period, while Telecommunication Services (+8.93%) and Utilities (+11.91%) posted comparatively smaller gains.
Strategy Review:
The S&P 500 is a market-weighted index composed of 500 common stocks issued by large-capitalization companies in a wide range of business. The stocks included in the index collectively represent a substantial portion of all common stocks publicly traded in the United States. Throughout the 12-month period, as changes were made to the composition of the S&P 500 Index, the portfolio purchased and sold securities to maintain its objective of replicating the risks and return of the benchmark. In keeping with its investment objective, the Fund remains positioned to match the risk characteristics of its benchmark, irrespective of the market’s future direction.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses
 
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
As a shareholder in a mutual fund invested in a corresponding Series of Transamerica Partners Portfolios or Master Portfolio (“MP”), you will bear the ongoing costs of managing the corresponding Series in which your fund invests (such as the investment advisor’s fee and other expenses). You will also bear the cost of operating the mutual fund (such as distribution fees, administrative fees, and other expenses).
The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2009 and held for the entire period until December 31, 2009.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Expenses” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Expenses” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of five percent per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the funds versus other funds. To do so, compare this five percent hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Expenses” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
Expense ratios may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses that are not covered by the advisory and administrative fees.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Transamerica Partners Funds Group II (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is composed of twenty-one different series that are, in effect, separate investment funds. Sixteen of the series are doing business as Transamerica Partners Institutional Funds Group, which are diversified open-end management companies as defined by the 1940 Act, and are represented herein as follows: Transamerica Partners Institutional Money Market Fund (“Money Market”), Transamerica Partners Institutional High Quality Bond Fund (“High Quality Bond”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Inflation-Protected Securities Fund (“Inflation-Protected Securities”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Core Bond Fund (“Core Bond”), Transamerica Partners Institutional High Yield Bond Fund (“High Yield Bond”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Balanced Fund (“Balanced”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Large Value Fund (“Large Value”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Stock Index Fund (“Stock Index”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Large Core Fund (“Large Core”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Large Growth Fund (“Large Growth”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Mid Value Fund (“Mid Value”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Mid Growth Fund (“Mid Growth”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Small Value Fund (“Small Value”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Small Core Fund (“Small Core”), Transamerica Partners Institutional Small Growth Fund (“Small Growth”), and Transamerica Partners Institutional International Equity Fund (“International Equity”) (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund, with the exception of Stock Index, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a corresponding series of Transamerica Partners Portfolios (the “Series Portfolio”) having the same investment objective as the Fund. For information on the investments made by the Series Portfolio, refer to the Schedules of Investments section of the financial statements of the Series Portfolio, which accompany this report. Stock Index seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in the S&P 500 Stock Master Portfolio (formerly, the Master Investment Portfolio — S&P 500 Index Master Portfolio) (the “Master Portfolio” / “MP”) having the same investment objective as the Fund. The Series Portfolio and the Master Portfolio are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act.
The Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for certain Funds within the Trust. Refer to Note 5 for details.
From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Funds.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The financial statements of the Series Portfolio and the Master Portfolio, including the Schedules of Investments, accompany this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements.
In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Investment valuations: The value of each Fund’s investment in a corresponding series of the Series Portfolio or the Master Portfolio reflects that Fund’s proportional interest in the net assets of the corresponding series of the Series Portfolio or Master Portfolio.
The valuation policy of the securities held by the Series Portfolio is discussed in Note 2 of the Series Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which accompany this report.
The valuation policy of the securities held by the Master Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Master Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which accompany this report.
Investment income and security transactions: Each Fund is allocated its share of income and expenses from its investment in the corresponding series of the Series Portfolio or Master Investment Portfolio. All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the security transactions of the Series Portfolio or the Master Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the investors and recorded by the Funds on a daily basis.
Operating expenses: The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each of the Funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses attributable to all Funds are allocated based on relative net assets or another methodology appropriate in the circumstances.
Dividend distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, will normally be declared quarterly and annually, respectively, and reinvested in additional shares.
For a detailed description of dividends paid and the tax character of distributions during the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 refer to Note 3.

NOTE 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “TAM”) is the Funds’ investment adviser. TAM is directly owned by Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (77%) (Western Reserve) and AUSA Holding Company (23%) (“AUSA”), both of which are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of AEGON NV. AUSA is wholly-owned by AEGON USA, LLC (“AEGON USA”), a financial services holding company whose primary emphasis is on life and health insurance, and annuity and investment products. AEGON USA is owned by AEGON US Holding Corporation, which is owned by Transamerica Corporation (DE). Transamerica Corporation (DE) is owned by The AEGON Trust, which is owned by AEGON International B.V., which is owned by AEGON NV, a Netherlands corporation, and a publicly traded international insurance group.
Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. (“TFS”) is the Funds’ administrator and transfer agent. Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) is the Funds’ distributor/principal underwriter. TAM, TFS and TCI are each indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of AEGON USA.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and/or directors of TAM, TFS and TCI. None of the non-independent trustees so affiliated receive compensation for services as trustees of the Trust. Similarly, none of the Trust’s officers receive compensation from the Funds. The independent trustees of the Trust are also trustees of the affiliated funds, for which they receive fees. Aggregate remuneration incurred for non-affiliated trustees of the Trust for the year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $91.
The following schedule reflects the percentage of each Fund’s assets owned by affiliated investment companies at December 31, 2009.

Investment advisory fees: Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and subject to further policies as the Board of Trustees may determine, the Adviser provides general investment advice to each Fund. As compensation for the services performed by the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate set forth in Note 3 of the Series Portfolios’ Notes to Financial Statements, which accompany this report, provided however, that if the Fund invests all or substantially all of its assets in a single registered investment company, the annual fee shall be reduced by the aggregate management fees allocated to that Fund for the Fund’s then-current fiscal year from such other registered investment company. Currently, each Fund, other than Stock Index, invests all of its assets in the Series Portfolio, and the fees payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reduced completely by the aggregate management fees allocated to the Fund by the Series Portfolio. The Adviser received a monthly fee from Stock Index at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, which includes both advisory and administrative services. This amount is reduced by the advisory fee charged by MIP of 0.05%. For these services, Stock Index paid an aggregate of $327 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Administrative services and transfer agent fees: The Trust has entered into an Administrative Services Agreement and a Transfer Agency Agreement with TFS, under which TFS provides administration and transfer agency services. For providing these services, facilities and for bearing the related expenses, TFS receives a monthly fee from the Funds (except Stock Index), which is accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.05% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. For these services the Funds paid an aggregate of $1,545 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Distribution fees: The Trust entered into a Principal Underwriting Agreement with TCI. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, TCI may receive a fee from each Fund at an annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund’s daily net assets in connection with the sale of shares in the Funds and to provide ongoing services to shareholders and to pay other marketing and advertising expenses. The aggregate distribution fees incurred amounted to $9,367 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Of the distribution fees incurred by the Funds, $3,814 was reimbursed.
In order to avoid a negative yield, TAM or any of its affiliates may waive fees or reimburse expenses. Any such waiver or expense reimbursement would be voluntary, could be discontinued at any time, and is subject in certain circumstances to recapture by TAM or its affiliates during the calendar year in which it was waived. There were no amounts recaptured during the year ended December 31, 2009. There is no guarantee that Money Market will be able to avoid a negative yield. Waived expenses related to the maintenance of the yield are included in the Statement of Operations, within the expenses reimbursed caption. The amount waived as of December 31, 2009 was $354.
Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible Independent Trustee may elect participation in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (“the Plan”). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, gains or losses credited to his/her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in investment options in Transamerica Partners Institutional Funds Group, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation Funds, or Class A shares of any series of Transamerica Funds.
NOTE 3. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
Each Fund of the Trust is a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Funds have not made any provisions for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open tax years (2006-2009), or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2010 tax returns, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as US federal and the state of New York; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These permanent differences are due to differing treatment for items including, but not limited to, foreign currency transactions, paydowns, adjustments due to investments in real estate investment trusts or passive foreign investment companies, net operating losses, the different allocation methods for the recognition of realized capital gains and losses, income on swaps, taxable over-distributions, return of capital tax and consent/tender payments. These reclassifications of the components of net assets are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and do not affect net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) on investments or net assets. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. The differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts.
The tax character of distributions paid during 2008 and 2009 were as follows:

NOTE 5. REORGANIZATIONS
The Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for certain Funds within the Trust. The following paragraphs describe each effective reorganization. The purpose of the transactions was to achieve a more cohesive, focused and streamlined fund complex by combining Funds with comparable investment objectives and strategies.
On November 20, 2009, Large Growth acquired all of the net assets of Transamerica Partners Institutional Growth Fund (“Growth”). The acquisition was accomplished by a tax free exchange of 4,571,781 shares of Large Growth, valued at $25,876, for 5,567,413 shares of Growth outstanding on November 20, 2009. The investment in Growth Series Portfolio, with a fair value of $25,919 at November 20, 2009, was the principal asset acquired by Large Growth. Immediately prior to the reorganization, the net assets of Large Growth were $399,041.
Large Growth contributed its interest in Growth Series Portfolio of $25,919 in-kind to Large Growth Series Portfolio. Subsequently Large Growth Series Portfolio redeemed its interest in Growth Series Portfolio in-kind. The investment portfolio of Growth Series Portfolio was the principal asset received in exchange by Large Growth Series Portfolio. For financial reporting purposes, assets received by Large Growth Series Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Growth Series Portfolio was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Large Growth Series Portfolio’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts realizable for tax purposes. See Note 7 of the Series Portfolios’ Notes to Financial Statements, which accompany this report.
On November 27, 2009, Core Bond acquired all of the net assets of Transamerica Partners Institutional Total Return Bond Fund (“Total Return Bond”). The acquisition was accomplished by a tax free exchange of 4,172,193 shares of Core Bond, valued at $44,392, for 4,699,576 shares of Total Return Bond outstanding on November 27, 2009. The investment in Total Return Bond Series Portfolio, with a fair value of $44,432 at November 27, 2009, was the principal asset acquired by Core Bond. Immediately prior to the reorganization, the net assets of Core Bond were $495,354.
Core Bond contributed its interest in Total Return Bond Series Portfolio of $44,432 in-kind to Core Bond Series Portfolio. Subsequently Core Bond Series Portfolio redeemed its interest in Total Return Bond Series Portfolio in-kind. The investment portfolio of Total Return Bond Series Portfolio was the principal asset received in exchange by Core Bond Series Portfolio. For financial reporting purposes, assets received by Core Bond Series Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Total Return Bond Series Portfolio was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Core Bond Series Portfolio’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts realizable for tax purposes.
On November 27, 2009, Large Value acquired all of the net assets of Transamerica Partners Institutional Value Fund (“Value”). The acquisition was accomplished by a tax free exchange of 1,873,880 shares of Large Value, valued at $14,092, for 2,094,049 shares of Value outstanding on November 27, 2009. The investment in Value Series Portfolio, with a fair value of $14,123 at November 27, 2009, was the principal asset acquired by Large Value. Immediately prior to the reorganization, the net assets of Large Value were $338,678.
Large Value contributed its interest in Value Series Portfolio of $14,123 in-kind to Large Value Series Portfolio. Subsequently Large Value Series Portfolio redeemed its interest in Value Series Portfolio in-kind. The investment portfolio of Value Series Portfolio was the principal asset received in exchange by Large Value Series Portfolio. For financial reporting purposes, assets received by Large Value Series Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Value Series Portfolio was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Large Value Series Portfolio’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts realizable for tax purposes.
Assuming the acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2009, the beginning of the annual reporting period, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:
         
Growth/Large Growth:
       
Net investment income
    $2,985  
Net gain (loss) on investments
    $127,585  
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations
    $130,570  
 
       
Total Return Bond/Core Bond:
       
Net investment income
    $25,043  
Net gain (loss) on investments
    $38,849  
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations
    $63,892  
 
       
Value/Large Value:
       
Net investment income
    $7,928

NOTE 5. (continued)
Because the investment portfolios of Large Growth Series Portfolio, Core Bond Series Portfolio, and Large Value Series Portfolio, have each been managed as single integrated Portfolios since the reorganizations referenced above were completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Growth, Total Return Bond and Value that have been included in the Statements of Operations of Large Growth, Core Bond and Large Value, respectively, since the merger dates.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management Review
 
(unaudited)
Please note that any performance figures discussed on the following pages represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.transamericafunds.com for performance information current to the most recent month-end.
Market Environment:
During the past twelve months, markets have oscillated from significant weakness in conjunction with investors’ concerns over the health of the economy and the labor market to strength in conjunction with investor optimism of recovery and bargain hunting. The equity markets touched new lows in March 2009, and then subsequently rallied sharply. The period ended with positive twelve month returns for both the broad equity and bond markets. As economic recovery prospects improved and the market rallied from new lows in March, the U.S. dollar weakened versus the Euro, British Pound, and Japanese Yen until December, when it began to modestly strengthen.
Oil prices have been volatile over the past year, hitting their lows in January 2009 and recovering sharply to end significantly higher at the end of the period. The Federal Reserve has kept the federal funds rate in a range of 0%-0.25% in an effort to stimulate the economy. The unemployment rate has risen for most of 2009 as labor market conditions remain weak. Bargain hunting and an increased appetite for risk following market lows in March 2009 led to strong gains for particular equity and fixed-income sectors, including emerging market stocks, technology stocks and high yield bonds. Treasuries and money market securities lagged on a relative basis. For the twelve months ending December 31, 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned 22.68%, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned 26.46%, and the Barclays Capital Aggregate U.S. Bond Index returned 5.93%.
Please keep in mind it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.
Performance:
Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation - Short Horizon (“Short Horizon”) generated a 12-month total return of 16.67%, for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Fund’s composite benchmark returned 12.63%.
Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation - Short/Intermediate Horizon (“Short/Intermediate Horizon”) generated a 12-month total return of 18.88%, for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Fund’s composite benchmark returned 16.65%.
Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation - Intermediate Horizon (“Intermediate Horizon”) generated a 12-month total return of 21.36%, for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Fund’s composite benchmark returned 20.85%.
Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation - Intermediate/Long Horizon (“Intermediate/Long Horizon”) generated a 12-month total return of 23.78%, for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Fund’s composite benchmark returned 24.98%.
Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation - Long Horizon (“Long Horizon”) generated a 12-month total return of 25.40%, for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Fund’s composite benchmark returned 28.65%.
Strategy Review:
Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation Funds seek to simplify the investment decision and diversification processes by providing investors with a set of funds with pre-determined, target asset allocations, based on different retirement time horizons. The underlying equity and fixed income components are invested proportionally.
Short Horizon - invests approximately 90% in fixed income funds and 10% in equity funds.
The Fund’s best-performing holding on an absolute basis was the High Yield Bond Fund, which benefited from improving fundamentals. The largest contributor to the Fund’s performance, however, was the Core Bond Fund which accounts for a larger weight of the portfolio. The Core Bond Fund was also the best-performing holding relative to its benchmark, which outperformed due to an overweight to non-Treasuries.
The Fund’s lowest-performing holding on an absolute basis was the Money Market Fund, which posted a positive return, but suffered from historically low rates on the short end of the yield curve. The Money Market Fund’s safer positioning also made it the weakest contributor to the Fund’s performance. The worst-performing holding on a benchmark relative basis was the International Equity Fund, which suffered from the low quality rally and an underweight to non-Energy Minerals.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
 
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
As a shareholder in a mutual fund invested in underlying mutual funds of Transamerica Partners Institutional Funds Group (“Funds Group II”), you will bear the ongoing costs of managing the corresponding mutual funds in which your Fund invests (such as the distribution fees, administration fees and other expenses). You will also bear the cost of operating the mutual fund (such as the advisory fee). The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2009 and held for the entire period until December 31, 2009.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Expenses” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), than multiply the result by the number shown under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Expenses” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund versus other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

(a)   Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).
 
(b)   5% return per year before actual expenses.
 
(c)   Expense ratios do not include expenses of the underlying investments in Funds Group II.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Transamerica Partners Funds Group (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is composed of twenty-one different series that are, in effect, separate investment funds. Five of the series are doing business as Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation Funds, which are non-diversified open-end management companies as defined by the 1940 Act, and are presented herein: Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Short Horizon (“Short Horizon”), Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Short/Intermediate Horizon (“Short/Intermediate Horizon”), Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon (“Intermediate Horizon”), Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Intermediate/Long Horizon (“Intermediate/Long Horizon”), and Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Long Horizon (“Long Horizon”) (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Trust was established and designated the Funds as separate series on September 11, 2000. Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets among certain series of Transamerica Partners Funds Group II (“Funds Group II”). Funds Group II is an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act (that has the same investment adviser as the Funds). Certain series of Funds Group II seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing all of their investable assets in a corresponding series of Transamerica Partners Portfolios (the “Series Portfolio”). The financial statements of Funds Group II and the Series Portfolio are included in this report.
From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Funds.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Dividend income and capital gain distributions from affiliated investment companies, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and net realized gain (loss) from investment securities for the Funds are from investments in shares of affiliated investment companies.
Dividend distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, will normally be declared quarterly and annually, respectively, and reinvested in additional full and fractional shares.
For a detailed description of dividends paid and the tax character of distributions during the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, refer to Note 5.
Operating expenses: The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund. Each Fund will indirectly bear its share of fees and expenses incurred by the series of Funds Group II in which it invests. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses in the Statements of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.
NOTE 2. SECURITY VALUATIONS
All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The value of any Fund’s investment in a corresponding fund of Funds Group II is valued at the net asset value per share of each fund determined at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally, 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, each day the NYSE is open for business. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three Levels of inputs are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs, to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing each Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the investment, based on the best information available.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
Fair value measurement: Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying funds and can be redeemed daily. They are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments at December 31, 2009, are included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “TAM”). TAM is directly owned by Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (77%) and AUSA Holding Company (23%) (“AUSA”), both of which are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of AEGON NV. AUSA is wholly-owned by AEGON USA, a financial services holding company whose primary emphasis is on life and health insurance, and annuity and investment products. AEGON USA is owned by AEGON US Holding Corporation, which is owned by Transamerica Corporation (DE). Transamerica Corporation (DE) is owned by The AEGON Trust, which is owned by AEGON International B.V., which is owned by AEGON NV, a Netherlands corporation and a publicly traded international insurance group. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides general investment advice to each Fund. For providing these services, facilities and for bearing the related expenses, the Adviser receives a monthly fee from each Fund, which is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser is also the Adviser to Funds Group II. Accordingly, the net asset values of Funds Group II will reflect the fees and other expenses paid to the Adviser or its affiliates.
Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. (“TFS”) is the Funds’ administrator and transfer agent. Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) is the Funds’ distributor/principal underwriter. TAM, TFS and TCI are each indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of AEGON USA.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and/or directors of TAM, TFS and TCI and other affiliates, including Funds Group II and Transamerica Partners Portfolios. None of the non-independent trustees so affiliated receive compensation for services as trustees of the Trust. Similarly, none of the Trust’s officers receive compensation from the Funds. The independent trustees are also trustees of the affiliated funds for which they receive fees.
Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible Independent Fund Trustee may elect participation in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, gains or losses credited to his/her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in investment options in the Transamerica Partners Institutional Funds Group, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation Funds, or Class A shares of any series of Transamerica Funds.
NOTE 4. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold for the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:
                         
 
            Proceeds from  
        Purchases of     maturities and sales  
        securities:     of securities:  
 
Fund

      $54,146         $74,705    
 
Short/Intermediate Horizon

      358,321         582,255

      196,530         289,000    
 
Long Horizon
      143,743         224,712    
 
NOTE 5. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
Each Fund of the Trust is a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Funds have not made any provisions for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open tax years (2006-2009), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2010 tax returns, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as US Federal and the State of New York; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These permanent differences are primarily due to reclassification of short-term capital gains to investment income, and returns of capital paid by the Funds to their shareholders. These reclassifications of the components of net assets are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and do not affect net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) on investments or net assets.
Therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.
There were no reclassifications arising from these permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Partners Funds Group and Shareholders of Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Short Horizon, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Short/Intermediate Horizon, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Intermediate/Long Horizon, and Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Long Horizon:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Short Horizon, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Short/Intermediate Horizon, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Intermediate/Long Horizon, and Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Long Horizon (collectively the “Funds”; five of the funds constituting the Transamerica Partners Funds Group) at December 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Transamerica High Quality Bond Portfolio
Sub-adviser:
Merganser Capital Management, Inc.
Market Environment:
2009 has been a remarkable year in fixed income. The equity-like returns that Merganser and other fixed income managers have witnessed will likely go down in the record books of fixed income history. After the credit crisis of 2008 and the economic recession that gripped the United States, 2009 was mostly a story of cautious recovery. The macroeconomic data that has been released continues to encourage discussion of a broad economic recovery in the United States and abroad. While the second half of 2009 showed an increase in consumer confidence, home sales, vehicle sales and lower than anticipated jobless claims, there are still questions surrounding the health of the housing market, the stubbornly high unemployment rate and how the economy will react as the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) begins to wind down their stimulus programs in 2010.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners High Quality Portfolio returned 9.83%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Government/Corporate Bond Index (formerly, Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Government/Corporate Bond Index), returned 3.84%.
Strategy Review:
Merganser’s investment process is a bottom up sector and security selection process that emphasizes high quality spread product sectors which include U.S. Treasuries and Agencies, Asset Backed Securities (“ABS”), Domestic Corporates, U.S. dollar denominated Yankee Notes, Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”), Agency Pass-throughs and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMO’s”) and Non-Agency Residential Mortgage Backed Securities. The strategy is generally duration neutral versus the index. Beginning with the onset of the credit crisis in the summer of 2007, Merganser began to direct portfolio cash flows into the most liquid sectors of the market (Treasury and agency notes) in an effort to preserve capital and build liquidity to weather the impending storm. This posture was maintained through the fourth quarter of 2008.
By year-end 2008, concerns about the safety of the capital markets drove spreads to record wide levels which implied the imminent onset of another “Great Depression”. We did not believe such a scenario was at all likely, and used the opportunity to begin, once again, adding spread sector investments to the Portfolio at extremely generous yields. Subsequently, actions by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve such as the introduction of the Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility (TALF) and the Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP), combined with the concerted actions of governments and central banks around the world, restored investor confidence and liquidity to the spread sectors (notably corporate financials, ABS and CMBS). These actions provided the catalyst for the massive spread tightening that occurred during 2009. For much of the year spread products outperformed duration-matched US Treasuries. Thus, the decision to remain over-weighted in spread sectors was rewarded as riskier asset classes substantially out-performed Treasuries. The net result was that sector selection was the largest contributor to the Portfolio’s performance for 2009 as Merganser’s overweights to ABS, CMBS and financial corporates drove the Portfolio’s outperformance versus the index for the year. In the asset backed sector, spreads tightened throughout the year due to strong technicals where demand for high quality AAA rated ABS exceeded supply, as cash players returned to the sector.
In the corporate sector, returns were strongly positive for 2009 as spreads on corporate bonds (particularly banks and finance companies) tightened sharply. Indeed, throughout the year, financials were far and away the largest contributors to performance for the corporate sector. While high yield corporate names posted the strongest returns during 2009, Merganser’s selection of high quality investment grade securities consistently added to excess returns while minimizing credit risk.
Despite a myriad of negative headlines focused on the commercial real estate sector, CMBS have witnessed a year of dramatic spread tightening. Indeed the CMBS sector was one of the best performers in 2009. Merganser’s focus in CMBS is on the highest quality, top tier tranches. Our diligent stress-testing and thorough analysis of commercial mortgage backed securities has allowed us to capture the spread tightening in the CMBS sector while avoiding ratings downgrades and potentially troublesome pockets of the CMBS market.
Merganser’s duration-neutral positioning had little effect on the performance of the Portfolio during 2009.

Transamerica Partners Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio
Sub-adviser:
BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.
Market Environment:
US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) outperformed nominal US Treasuries during 2009 as aggressive government quantitative easing programs raised market inflation expectations. The markets became increasingly uncomfortable with the excess liquidity being provided by the central bank, and began looking toward inflation-linked bonds as a means of protecting portfolios from future inflation risk. In the short term, inflation risk continues to be to the downside as the Fed looks to begin reversing some of the stimulus measures put in place, such as their asset purchase program and zero interest rate policy. In addition, the US Treasury announced plans to increase TIPS as a percentage of issuance during 2010, reflecting both increased funding needs and a growing demand base from investors.
At their last meeting of 2009, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) reiterated its intention to keep interest rates “exceptionally low” for “an extended period” and said the economy is strengthening. Officials kept their benchmark overnight lending rate between banks in a range of zero to 0.25%, where it has been for a year, re-stating that low interest rates are contingent on “low rates of resource utilization, subdued inflation trends, and stable inflation expectations.” The Fed also reaffirmed its plan to continue purchases of agency mortgage-backed securities totaling $1.25 trillion and about $175 billion of agency debt through the first quarter of next year.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio returned 10.22%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Barclays Capital US TIPS Index, returned 11.42%.
Strategy Review:
Portfolio performance for the year was positively affected by duration and yield curve management, as real yields rallied throughout the period driving breakeven levels wider and the yield curve steeper. We reduced our exposure to TIPS starting in the latter half of the period due to low real yield levels, high breakeven levels and an increasing level of supply in the sector; this had a negative effect on performance relative to the benchmark Barclays Capital US TIPS Index. We primarily reduced our exposure to TIPS with maturities less than five years as we regarded that sector to have factored in too high a level of inflation expectations. Although we continue to view the short end as expensive, shorter TIPS continued to rally through the end of 2009.
At year-end on December 31, 2009, the Portfolio held an underweight position in TIPS (mainly in maturities shorter than five years) in favor of cash, nominal US Treasuries and a small allocation to high-quality spread product. The Portfolio is defensive on short-dated breakevens and duration given the absolute level of real yields and expected supply. In response, the Portfolio is overweight longer-dated breakevens, as inflation expectations continue to rise.

Transamerica Partners Core Bond Portfolio
Sub-adviser:
BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.
Market Environment:
The fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was a tale of two markets. Throughout the first quarter, concerns about deflation and a free-falling global economy pushed the markets to their cyclical lows, with spreads on non-government fixed income assets still hovering near historical highs. As the first quarter drew to a close, central banks across the world had stepped in to provide an unprecedented level of fiscal and monetary stimulus in an effort to stop the bleeding in the markets. In the United States, the Federal Reserve instituted a quantitative easing program whereby they began to purchase Treasuries while they expanded the Agency Debenture and Agency Mortgage Purchase programs that were initiated in the fourth quarter of 2008. Additionally, the US Treasury expanded the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”) into the commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) market and created the Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”), specifically the legacy securities purchase program, to purchase CMBS and non-agency residential mortgages. By the end of 2009, these policy decisions had led to a significant bounce back in the markets with asset prices up everywhere, spreads tighter across all spectrums of the fixed income markets, and most major countries showing signs of economic growth.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Core Bond Portfolio returned 12.89%. By comparison, its benchmark, Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.93%.
Strategy Review:
The strategy is centered on finding relative value across the markets by actively trading across sectors and sub-sectors of the fixed income markets, and ultimately through individual security selection. For the year, Portfolio performance benefited from an overweight exposure to index spread sectors including CMBS, asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and investment-grade corporate credit. The Portfolio also benefited from its out-of-index exposure to non-agency mortgages as spreads continued to narrow due to improving economic data and strong technicals resulting from PPIP buying. Likewise, the Portfolio’s underweight in US Treasuries helped performance as investor willingness to pick-up yield and take on risk increased throughout the year, causing Treasuries to underperform the broad bond market.
At year-end, the Portfolio was generally underweight in government-owned/government-related sectors in favor of non-government spread sectors. Within the government sectors, the Portfolio holds an underweight in Treasuries and Agency mortgages, while holding overweights in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-guaranteed debt, agency debentures and non-US government-backed debt. Within the non-government sectors, the Portfolio is overweight in AAA-rated CMBS, ABS and investment-grade corporate debt. The Portfolio also holds an out-of-index allocation to non-agency mortgages and to non-US government debt, including Canadian and German issues. During the period, we reduced exposure to CMBS and agency mortgages, selling into strength as these sectors continued to rally; we shifted some of these assets into foreign government debt and non-agency mortgages. The Portfolio ended the period with a slightly longer duration relative to the benchmark.

Transamerica Partners High Yield Bond Portfolio
Sub-adviser:
Eaton Vance Management
Market Environment:
Credit was the star performer in fixed income in 2009 as funding liquidity was restored, refinancing for some lower quality borrowers became available and default rate fears diminished. High yield outperformed all fixed income categories in 2009, with spreads narrowing by 1173 basis points and yields moving from 19.55% at year-end 2008 to 9.05% on December 31, 2009. The turning point for credit conditions began in late 2008 and early 2009 when Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) officials signaled their resolve to use any and all unconventional tools to restore liquidity and halt flight risk. While the Fed injected liquidity into the economy, the new administration influenced economic growth with a substantial stimulus package. As the year progressed, the US economy shifted from deep recession through the middle of 2009 to a growth recession in most of the second half which was characterized by expanding production but continued job losses.
For the year, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (the “Index”) returned 57.5% with CCC rated securities returning 96.8%, while BB and B rated bonds essentially returned comparable results of 45.2% and 47.6%, respectively. In fact, the top returning high yield bonds in the Index were the most distressed and/or lowest rated segments with distressed leading with a return of 116.7% for the year. By year-end, the number of high yield bonds trading at distressed levels (spreads over 1000 basis points) was 15.3% for US high yield issuers. The financials and insurance segments led the market, posting total returns of 118.9% and 121.6%, respectively for the year. Defensive sectors - while posting significant absolute returns - posted the lowest results for the period. By year-end, the default rate was 10.23%, significantly lower than expectations at the beginning of 2009. Given the improving economic outlook, robust capital markets, and extremely low levels of distressed debt, we expect the default rate to be closer to 4% in 2010.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners High Yield Bond Portfolio returned 57.21%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (formerly, Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index), returned 57.51%.
Strategy Review:
Portfolio performance for fourth quarter 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2009 was driven by credit selection and issue selection within the credit. Given our outlook for balance sheet improvement through debt exchanges as well as operational improvement, we maintained our overweight position in CCC rated bonds. We increased our exposure to health care bonds as prospects of new legislation caused some issues to widen relative to their fundamental prospects. Exposure to retail was increased later in the year due to our view that a better than expected Christmas season would generate strong returns. The Portfolio’s BB positions were reduced during the fourth quarter as the Treasury curve steepened and fears over higher interest rates pressured longer duration securities. The high yield market is flush with cash and as such, we continue to hold minimal cash in the Portfolio as demand for high yield bonds drives returns higher.
We believe the economy will grow modestly in the first half of 2010, as inventory rebuilds and the consumer spending remains subdued. Uncertainty surrounding Fed monetary policies will be a major influence on markets. The Fed has indicated it will remove some of its monetary stimulus but the timing is unclear. Yet with considerable slack in the economy, the question remains the appropriate timing of such change in status. High yield returns will not replicate those witnessed last year, however we believe the outlook is attractive as we enter the second stage of the credit cycle. With defaults and recoveries improving, we believe spreads can contract further and high yield returns may outperform other fixed income segments again in 2010.

Market Environment:
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP - The S&P 500 Index (the “Index”) gained 26.46% in 2009. All ten sectors in the Index were up for the year, with the Information Technology and Materials sectors gaining the most ground. The top-weighted Information Technology sector was also the largest positive contributor (weight times performance) to Index returns.
In the style arena, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (“Growth”) (+37.21%) outperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index (“Value”) (+19.69%) for the year. Growth outperformed relative to Value primarily due to a heavier weight in the strongly performing Information Technology sector. Large caps underperformed small caps for the year, with the Russell 2000® Index returning +27.17%.
Western Asset Management Company - It has been over a year since the collapse of Lehman Brothers and AIG. The financial system and the economy shifted from being near the next Great Depression toward a more stabilized system. The government intervened in unprecedented ways, from lending billions in support of key banks and industries to taking over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) also came out with a new set of policy tools, from a new liquidity program to asset purchases, to counter credit paralysis in the financial system. After reducing short-term interest rates to an historic low of zero to 0.25% in December 2008, the Fed since held rates steady.
Corporate spreads were at extreme high levels at the beginning of the year but this was followed by dramatic spread compression in high-yield and investment-grade sectors. The improvement was largely driven by a return to valuations that were more consistent with underlying fundamentals. Equity and fixed-income indices performed well amid renewed investor optimism. Various financial risk measures such as three-month LIBOR and LIBOR-OIS spreads declined significantly over the period, easing credit conditions.
In the last six months, the economy itself seemed to have taken a positive turn. US industrial sectors led the economy’s plunge in early 2009 as inventories, capital expenditure budgets and procurement plans were slashed on fears of credit unavailability. Businesses, facing one of their bleakest years, cut costs earlier in the year and are now benefitting from a possible turnaround as industrial production and capacity utilization registered increases. The housing market saw more positive news later in the year, and new home sales and housing starts both increased. The key S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index registered its first increases in over three years. The announcement of the government’s Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”) revived interest in the non-agency mortgage market as prices for many securities increased.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Balanced Portfolio returned 23.45%. By comparison, its benchmark, 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, returned 18.40%.
Strategy Review:
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP (Equity Portion) - In managing the Portfolio, we do not take size or sector bets. We seek to add value versus the Portfolio’s index through individual stock selection. Our quantitative process searches for stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and companies with strong profit margins and sustainable earnings that use their capital to enhance shareholder value. Over the long term, these factors have led to excess returns, and they are not highly correlated, which diversifies the Portfolio’s sources of returns.
Returns to the investment themes were negative overall for the period. Profitability detracted most from relative performance, followed by Momentum, Sentiment, Quality and Management. Conversely, Valuation contributed positively to excess returns for the period.
Among sectors, stock selection was negative overall. Holdings in the Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors were least successful relative to their peers in the benchmark. Meanwhile, stock picks in the Information Technology and Telecommunication Services sectors outpaced their peers in the benchmark most.
On an individual stock level, an underweight position in Goldman Sachs Group (0.00% of the Portfolio) as well as overweight positions in Gilead Sciences and Family Dollar Stores, detracted most from relative performance. On the upside, overweight positions in Seagate Technology, Microsoft and Franklin Resources were among the biggest positive contributors to excess returns.
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones and good momentum stocks should perform better than poor momentum stocks. We also prefer companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and firms that are profitable, have sustainable earnings, and use their capital to enhance shareholder value.

As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested and expect that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection as opposed to sector or size allocations.
Western Asset Management Company (Fixed Income Portion) – The fixed income portion of the Portfolio returned 20.80% for the year compared to 5.93% for Barclays Capital US Aggregate benchmark. The largest contributor to results was the overweight exposure to credit. In particular, investment grade financial holdings, especially hybrid capital, performed well as their spreads tightened from their elevated levels in 2008. An exposure to high yield (below investment grade corporate bonds) also enhanced our returns, with Automotive and Healthcare sub-sectors contributing. Our exposure to non-agency mortgage-backed securities generated strong results because of improved housing data and the positive sentiment surrounding the launch of the PPIP. Our modest allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) benefited as implied breakeven yields moved from negative to positive. The fund’s underweight to agency and commercial mortgage-backed securities sectors detracted from performance, as the sector did well during the 12-month period.

Transamerica Partners Large Value Portfolio
Sub-adviser:
Aronson+Johnson+Ortiz, LP
Market Environment:
All stock indexes were up for 2009, and up big – from 15% for top-cap value to 46% for mid-cap growth. The rally that began March 9, 2009 continued in the fourth quarter, and the story was much the same as in the second and third quarters: investors actively sought more risk, regardless of quality, primarily because government intervention encouraged such investment. Across the cap and style spectrums, large-caps beat small-caps and growth beat value.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Large Value Portfolio returned 16.71% . By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 19.69%.
Strategy Review:
Our portfolios underperformed in 2009, no matter what the benchmark.
AJO Large Cap – Absolute Value maintains a broadly diversified selection of large-cap stocks. Our investment approach is disciplined: We are fully invested in US equities, avoid broad sector bets, and take only modest industry-level and stock-specific bets. Our goal is to outperform the benchmark with incremental gains across many holdings. Using bottom-up stock selection, we evaluate companies relative to their industry peers using three broad categories of measures: value, management, and momentum. Value means the somewhat traditional ratios of price to fundamental value; management means we look for evidence that a company’s management team has and will continue to emphasize earning power; and momentum indicates when stocks might begin to rise toward full valuation. And as we search for opportunities, we keep a sharp eye on minimizing transaction costs, helping us maximize profits in our stock-selection effort.
The underperformance of our stock selection in 2009 rested squarely on the shoulders of our measures of management and momentum. While indications of share repurchase (a historically positive management signal) provided a slight boost to our October return, share issuance proved to be a more consistent predictor of returns throughout the year. Similarly, our gauge of momentum was turned on its head when stocks with poor earnings power experienced huge gains, in direct contradiction to prior trends.
Since we make no sector bets versus our benchmark, we describe the sectors in which our stock selection worked best (and worst). During 2009, our bets in the capital Goods and Consumer Staples sector were among the most rewarding, while our individual stock bets within the Energy and Consumer Durables sector were the least rewarding. Our aggregate industry bets, though modest, also detracted from performance, especially our underweight to Motor Vehicles and overweight to Insurance Companies. On an individual security basis, Lubrizol, Franklin Resources, and Coach were the largest contributors to relative performance, while JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Ford were the largest detractors from relative performance.
We remain positioned to outperform in the eventual (and inevitable) return to a market that favors the traditional relationship of earnings strength and management quality.

Strategy Review:
Our portfolios underperformed in 2009, no matter what the benchmark.
Prior to September 15, 2009, the Portfolio invested in AJO Large Cap — Absolute Value, which targets the Russell 1000® Value Index. Thereafter, the Portfolio invested in the AJO Large Cap, which targets the S&P 500 Index. AJO Large Cap maintains a broadly diversified selection of large-cap stocks. Our investment approach is disciplined: We are fully invested in US equities, avoid broad sector bets, and take only modest industry-level and stock-specific bets.

Since we make no sector bets versus our benchmark, we describe the sectors in which our stock selection worked best (and worst).
While the Portfolio was targeting the S&P 500 (9/15/09 — 12/31/09), our bets in the Financial and Technology sectors were among the most rewarding, while our individual stock bets within the Energy and Consumer Durables sectors were the least rewarding. Our aggregate industry bets, though modest, performed in line with the benchmark. On an individual security basis, DIRECTV, Western Digital, and AmerisourceBergen were the largest contributors to relative performance, while Apple, Amazon.com, and Merck were the largest detractors from relative performance.
When combined with the period targeting the Russell 1000® Value, the Energy and consumer Discretionary sectors were among the most rewarding, while Capital Goods and Healthcare sectors were the least rewarding. Our aggregate industry bets, though modest, contributed to performance, especially our overweight to software and underweight to oil & gas companies. On an individual security basis, Exxon Mobil, Franklin Resources, and Lubrizol were the largest contributors to relative performance, while Intel, United Technologies, and Cigna were the largest detractors from relative performance.
We remain positioned to outperform in the eventual (and inevitable) return to a market that favors the traditional relationship of earnings strength and management quality.

Wellington Management Company, LLP
Market Environment:
Jennison Associates LLC - Further signs of US economic recovery helped sustain a powerful rebound in the equity market at the end of 2009. Fourth-quarter market gains, although substantial, were modest compared to those of the two previous quarters on indications that the recovery would be uneven. Some measures of economic activity suggested a moderation in the pace of expansion. Others were more encouraging, most notably the rate of job losses, which continued to moderate, pointing to a possible near-term peak in unemployment. Also reflecting improving conditions, holiday retail sales were significantly better than last year’s depressed levels. Automobile sales, too, regained strength after a temporary lull following expiration of the “cash for clunkers” program in August.
Across the corporate landscape, cost-cutting and inventory reductions remained in force, prompting additional increases in earnings projections for the balance of 2009 and 2010.
With the Federal Reserve maintaining its “zero” fed funds rate, interest rates remained near historic lows. Banks, seeking to exit the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), pushed further large capital raises through the equity markets; unlike earlier sales, however, these offerings seemed to sap investor enthusiasm, leading to weakness in the shares of many financial companies.
Furious horse-trading among Washington policymakers led to various compromises on proposed healthcare reform legislation. Current working models appear to be less disruptive to various healthcare industry constituencies than originally anticipated, but the final scope and details of legislation remained undetermined at year-end.
OFI Institutional Asset Management, Inc. - A year ago, the economic picture was, at best, grim. Already ensnared in a brutal bear market, a pervasive lack of credit forced a massive scaling back among US corporations, increasing unemployment and decreasing consumer spending; fourth-quarter 2008’s Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) figure was among the worst on record. While many economists are predicting some improvements in the New Year, forecasts are, at best, moderate. Perhaps optimistically, the White House is predicting 2010 GDP growth at 3.2 percent—a higher level than most forecasts. Housing starts and the unemployment picture are expected to improve in 2010, although, at least in the first half of the New Year, not significantly.
We can now say with certainty that March 9, 2009 represented the low point of the most recent bear market: At its conclusion, this bear eroded 56.8% of the market’s value (as measured by the price-only S&P 500® Index (the “S&P”). The ensuing rally has been nothing short of spectacular—the price-only S&P gained 64.8% from the market bottom through the year’s end.
Much of the rally was driven by stocks that had been battered early in the year. As is typical at the beginning of a cyclical recovery, the market rally demonstrated a “worst to first” move: higher-risk, lower-quality assets—those that are typically ranked poorly by our investment process—outperforming higher-quality assets. Small- and mid-cap stocks seemed more prone to this than the largest-cap stocks: the Russell 2000® Index, for example, gained a whopping 84.5% from March 9 through year-end, while the Russell Midcap® Index gained 85.6%.
Growth stocks lagged their value counterparts since the market low: The Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Index”) returned 66.4% versus a 73.0% return for the Russell 1000® Value Index over this horizon. Year-to-date, however, the story is dramatically different: growth gained 37.2% for the year while value was up just 19.7%—a 17.5 percentage-point advantage.
Wellington Management Company, LLP - Throughout the year, unemployment continued to rise globally despite massive economic stimulus plans implemented by governments throughout the world. Global GDP declined and new regulation and protectionist polices were enacted. Record deficits were generated in 2009 and new large spending programs may ensure enormous deficits in the future. We expect a significant increase in taxation throughout the world to pay for the government spending which will result in the very low GDP growth in the new decade.
In 2009, mid-cap stocks rose more than small-cap stocks and large cap stocks. The S&P Mid Cap Index increased 37.4% while the small cap Russell 2000® Index rose 27.2% and the large cap S&P 500 Index increased 26.5%. Growth stocks meaningfully outperformed value stocks in 2009. The Russell 1000® Growth Index rose 37.2% while the Russell 1000® Value Index increased only 19.7%.

Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Large Growth Portfolio returned 35.56%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 37.21%.
Strategy Review:
Jennison Associates LLC – Jennison Associates began as one of the sub-advisers to the Portfolio on September 16, 2009. This commentary addresses the Portfolio’s performance from that date until December 31, 2009. From September 16, 2009, through December 31, 2009, growth stocks, as reflected by the Russell 1000® Growth benchmark’s 8.83% advance, outperformed the broader market S&P 500 Index, which rose 6.56%. Telecommunication Services, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary were the growth benchmark’s top-performing sectors, while Utilities and Financials lagged.
The Portfolio is built from the bottom up, with stocks selected one at a time, based on the fundamentals of individual companies. The Portfolio’s greatest absolute gains came in the Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, and Industrials sectors. Materials and Financials holdings declined.
Information Technology positions contributed most to Portfolio return, as both stock selection and an overweight position benefited performance. Advances in Advanced Micro Devices (“AMD”), NetApp, Tencent Holdings, Salesforce.com, Google, Microsoft, and Apple exceeded 20%. AMD soared on news that rival Intel agreed to pay it $1.25 billion to settle antitrust and patent disputes. It got another boost when Intel cancelled its move into a new semiconductor market, allowing AMD to leapfrog into the dominant graphic supplier position. Apple continues to be a prime beneficiary of the digitization of music, photos, and video because of its cutting-edge software for managing, editing, and sharing content. Google’s technological lead and dominant position in Internet search have enabled it to monetize search traffic at a meaningfully higher rate than its competitors. Its continued investment in capacity and research and development should, we believe, lead to new streams of revenue through product innovation and new technologies.
Security selection was strong in Consumer Discretionary, as well, where Amazon.com soared on better-than-expected revenue and earnings and on strong holiday online shopping trends. We believe Amazon.com is a prime beneficiary of the ongoing secular shift toward e-commerce.
Consumer Staples and Financial shares were key detractors from performance, led by declines in CVS Caremark and Goldman Sachs (“Goldman”). CVS declined on pharmacy benefits management contract losses. We eliminated the Portfolio’s position in CVS in November. Goldman fell even though its earnings and revenue beat consensus projections. We view Goldman as best in class and expect it to benefit from its strong balance sheet and better navigation of the current market environment.
OFI Institutional Asset Management, Inc. - Health care reform was one of the biggest stories of 2009. In late October, Senator Joe Lieberman (l-Conn.) vowed to filibuster any Senate version of a reform bill that included a public option: a competitor to private insurers that has drawn criticism from conservative members of Congress. By December, the House and Senate each passed their own version of health care reform; the Senate’s excluding the public option. House Democrats began signaling late last month they were willing to drop the public option when the two sides negotiate a final version of the bill in 2010. As things stand now, tens of millions of currently uninsured people will likely be forced to purchase policies from the private sector. That expectation drove share price for health care providers higher in the fourth quarter. The Portfolio benefited from overweight positions in Community Health Systems (+118.0% while held), Coventry Health Care (+94.9% while held) and CIGNA (+50.2% before sold). The sector ranked as the Portfolio’s top performer in 2009.
However, the sector’s positive impact was not enough to compensate for the negative drag of the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors (which combined for virtually all of the Portfolio’s shortfall versus the benchmark). In an absolute sense, the Technology sector performed exceptionally well, gaining 58.0% in the Portfolio. However, it lagged the 62.1% sector return in the Russell 1000® Index (“Russell 1000”). Weak stock selectivity proved costly in the Consumer Discretionary sector; the Portfolio’s holdings in the sector gained 25.5% for the full year, lagging the Russell 1000 Discretionary sector by more than 17 percentage points. News Corp. was sold from the Portfolio in early February, down 32.7%. The stock was able to recoup those losses, posting a slight 3.2% gain for the full year. The decision to avoid Starbucks, up 143.5%, also had a negative impact on the Portfolio.
Wellington Management Company, LLP - The Portfolio is a result of fundamental, bottom up stock selection. Our investment process leverages the extensive research resources of the firm and emphasizes a balance of growth, valuation, and quality criteria in selecting stocks. Our overweight to Information Technology and underweight to Consumer Staples along with strong stock selection within Financials and Consumer Discretionary were the primary drivers of the Portfolio’s relative outperformance.
Financials holdings, including State Street, Itau Unibanco, and Morgan Stanley contributed to performance. Within Consumer Discretionary, retail companies TJX, Coach, and Urban Outfitters also helped relative performance.
The Portfolio’s largest relative contributors included NetApp, Exxon Mobil, and Joy Global. Network storage equipment manufacturer NetApp’s low cost hardware combined with unified storage software enabled the company to gain market share. We believe that the company’s proprietary software and expense control will lead to operating margin expansion going forward. Shares of mining equipment

manufacturer Joy Global moved higher along with commodity prices as the company gained market share in the underground coal mining market. Not owning diversified energy company Exxon Mobil and consumer products giant Procter & Gamble contributed positively to benchmark relative performance.
The Portfolio’s three largest relative detractors were Eli Lilly, Apple, and Raytheon. Shares of major US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly came under pressure on concerns about the impact of future patent expirations on the company’s long-term growth, as well as near-term pressures due to a slower ramp-up of anti-clotting agent, Effient. We believe that the market significantly underestimates the potential of its anti-clotting agent and diabetes treatment, as well as Eli Lilly’s potential as a merger or takeover candidate. Shares of consumer electronics company Apple rose due to strong sales of iPhones and Mac books and expectations for the launch of its new Tablet device. Our underweight position during part of the year hurt relative returns. Shares of Massachusetts-based defense contractor Raytheon underperformed as investors feared that President Obama’s budget proposal would negatively impact defense spending and would include sharp cuts to defense contractors. Healthcare company Abbott Laboratories also detracted from the Portfolio’s absolute returns.
For the one year period, relative performance was hurt by the security selection within the Information Technology sector including positions in Apple and Google.

Sub-advisers:
Cramer, Rosenthal, McGlynn, LLC
JPMorgan Asset Management, Inc.
Market Environment:
Cramer, Rosenthal, McGlynn, LLC - It is now reasonable to conclude that the unprecedented, massive, global stimuli programs were successful in pulling the world economies and commercial markets out of the worst deflationary spiral since the 1930s. Although there were some softer economic reports during the fall, the data recently has been much more constructive. A year ago, we discussed the need for corporations to aggressively cut costs and harbor cash. Fearing another Great Depression, managements followed that game plan in reducing payrolls, slashing capital spending and liquidating inventories. During the second half of 2009, as business trends began to stabilize, many of these cuts have gradually been restored; this recovery now has a second engine besides government spending.
Going forward, we believe that investors will differentiate between better positioned companies who, through permanent cost reductions, revenue growth from new product introductions and strong free cash flow, can distinguish themselves. Other themes include a pickup in business spending on items ranging from technology to advertising/marketing, consulting and energy efficiency. In 2010, we believe successful investments will necessarily require a balance of expected returns against an assessment of downside risk. The prospect of higher interest rates, emerging inflation and investor differentiation will likely cap market multiples and, thereby, reinforce the importance of skilled, company-specific stock selection.
JPMorgan Asset Management, Inc. - The last 12 months will certainly be remembered as one of the most volatile periods in financial market history. The market’s deterioration began to accelerate in October 2008 as the effects of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy instilled fear and panic among investors. The onslaught of poor economic data continued well into 2009. In response, a barrage of governmental policy announcements and actions by the Federal Reserve were established to restore confidence in the financial system. Equity markets remained volatile and hit fresh lows in early March 2009. Since then, US equity markets rebounded strongly as investors realized that the banking system was not insolvent and economic activity was not in a terminal freefall. Ongoing improvement in the manufacturing sector, consistent declines in weekly unemployment claims and brisk merger-and-acquisition activity offset investor concerns over increased mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Mid Value Portfolio returned 32.53%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Value® Index (“RMCV” or the “benchmark”), returned 34.21%.
Strategy Review:
Cramer, Rosenthal, McGlynn, LLC - The CRM Mid Cap Value portfolio is constructed through bottom up stock selection. For 2009, the top contributors were technology companies Seagate Technology and Amphenol Corp.; top detractors for the year included utility company Allegheny Energy and financial company, Key Corp. From a sector standpoint, our weakest sectors (relative to the benchmark) were Consumer Discretionary followed by Healthcare and Energy. Our strongest sectors vs. the benchmark were Technology, Producer Durables and Utilities.
Seagate Technology (STX) performed well during the third quarter as better than expected June quarter results appeared to provide investors with increased confidence that demand for hard disk drives is recovering. STX’s results over the last few quarters have helped strengthen the company’s balance sheet. The company announced a positive earnings revision during the fourth quarter and the stock continued to reflect growing investor confidence in a strengthening PC market. Amphenol’s interconnect products are critical to making the ever increasing electronic content in cell phones, automobiles, airplanes and industrial equipment work together to deliver increased functionality. We believe Amphenol’s market leading technology and strong balance sheet allowed the company to capture market share during the early downturn of 2009. Its shares were up during the fourth quarter as technology spending began to rebound. Amphenol should be poised to return to meaningful revenue and earnings growth in 2010.
Regarding the detractors, Allegheny Energy reduced earnings forecasts during the fourth quarter following continued weakness in forward power prices which were being driven by a depressed natural gas curve and lower industrial demand. Further, Allegheny and its partner American Electric Power announced delays to its PATH inter-state transmission line, which pushed out growth in Allegheny’s regulated asset base. KeyCorp shares suffered in the second quarter of 2009 due to concerns over its credit quality and the US government’s “stress test” analysis, which indicated the company needed to raise $1.8 billion. Shares of KeyCorp were weak again following a third quarter earnings report featuring elevated credit costs and sluggish revenue trends. In addition, following Bank of America’s equity raise to repay Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), the Street became concerned that KeyCorp would also be required to raise additional common equity as a condition of TARP repayment. We subsequently exited our position due to the risk of increased dilution from a common equity raise, a longer-than-average path to improved profitability versus its peers and better relative risk/return opportunities in the sector.

JPMorgan Asset Management, Inc. - For the period September 16, 2009 through December 31, 2009, when JPMorgan Asset Management, Inc. (“JPMorgan”) commenced as one of the sub-advisers, the JPMorgan sleeve of the Transamerica Partners Mid Cap Value Portfolio returned 4.22%, compared to its benchmark, which returned 2.50% over the same time period. The Portfolio’s outperformance relative to its benchmark was due mostly to stock selection in Industrials and Utilities sectors. Alternatively, stock selection in the Financials and Materials sectors detracted from results.
A top contributor to performance was Precision Castparts Corp., which manufactures complex metal components mostly for aerospace and power generation applications. While earnings were depressed due to continued aerospace inventory destocking, investors were encouraged by year-over-year margin improvement and the company’s earnings prospects when volumes begin to recover.
Another top contributor to performance was CMS Energy Corp., a diversified utility operating primarily in Michigan. The stock rallied as recent regulatory rulings will help limit the company’s exposure to the economic risks of Michigan. CMS Energy intends to invest significant capital in renewable energy projects and clean coal technology. In addition, the company operates in a constructive regulatory environment which could potentially allow the company to have improved earnings visibility over the next several years.
Alternatively, diversified insurance provider, Old Republic International, Inc. was a top detractor to the Portfolio’s performance. The company announced a greater than expected loss for the quarter which was driven mostly by continued pressure in their mortgage insurance segment. A silver lining for Old Republic was continued profitability in the title insurance segment which has benefited mostly from increased refinancing activity. We believe, given Old Republic’s capital position and prudent underwriting, they will be in a position to capture market share as business conditions improve.
Sigma-Aldrich Corp., a leading provider of specialty chemical and biochemical products, was also a negative contributor to performance. The company’s shares were under pressure over concerns that large pharmaceutical customers may become more cost conscious as a result of the US Government’s proposed health care reforms. We view Sigma-Aldrich as one of the more stable names in the space as their lack of exposure to volatile input prices has enabled the company to consistently generate free cash flow, which management has deployed by returning capital to shareholders.

Transamerica Partners Mid Growth Portfolio
Sub-adviser:
Columbus Circle Investors
Market Environment:
The fourth quarter capped a very difficult year for Columbus Circle Investor’s (“CCI”) discipline in general, and for the mid-cap portfolios in particular, as secular growth companies with strong fundamentals were shunned in favor of economically and financially distressed companies. The liquidity-driven rally in “low-quality” shares (such as those with no earnings, smaller market capitalizations or very low stock prices) that began in March continued through the fourth quarter for mid-cap growth stocks, despite showing signs of abating in other parts of the market.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Mid Growth Portfolio lagged its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Growth® Index, which benefited from a particularly heavy weighting in cyclical sectors. Performance was led by the Technology and Utilities sectors, offset somewhat by weakness in Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, and Materials shares.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Mid Growth Portfolio returned 25.24%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Growth® Index, returned 46.29%.
Strategy Review:
Contributors to performance over the last year were Marvell Technology Group and F5 Networks. Marvell Technology Group gained during the period as the semiconductor’s cost cutting initiatives bore fruit and improving sales drove earnings beyond expectations. F5 Networks, a manufacturer of gear that accelerates the flow of information within datacenters, rose as a rebound in enterprise and telecom service provider spending leveraged a cost reduction program, allowing the company to exceed revenue and earnings forecasts. The company is in the early stages of several new product cycles that can significantly expand its market opportunity and position it for high growth and margin expansion.
The largest detractors from performance were UAL Corp. and NIl Holdings. UAL Corp., the parent of United Airlines, was hurt by deteriorating passenger traffic, mainly cutbacks in business travel. NIl Holdings, an operator of wireless networks in Latin America fell during the period. The global economic contraction finally took its toll, causing subscriber growth in Mexico and Argentina to deteriorate at a rate that more than offset positively surprising subscriber additions in Brazil.
The extremely aggressive monetary policy that ultimately broke the back of the financial crisis last winter proved to be the key driver of stock returns during 2009. Secular trends and sustainable growth mattered little, as fear turned to greed and distressed stocks were rewarded with sharply higher stock prices to the detriment of CCI’s mid-cap relative performance. Fortunately, the history of “low-quality” rallies suggests that, as the rate of economic recovery slows and extremely low expectations rebound, the market should begin to renew its focus on better quality growth stocks. Signs of this pattern gradually began to emerge during the fall, making us optimistic that the historical pattern will repeat.
To take advantage of the evolving market, we enter the New Year focused on Technology, which benefits from secular trends, and Healthcare, where reform uncertainty is beginning to fade. Both sectors also contain companies having significant foreign sales, which should benefit from the weaker dollar. Funding these positions are below-market weightings in Consumer Staples and Industrial stocks, where we believe that prospects for strong earnings growth are weaker. Although 2009 proved to be a very frustrating year for investors in high-quality, positively-surprising growth stocks, we would expect market interest to return to such stocks in due course.

Transamerica Partners Small Value Portfolio
Sub-adviser:
Mesirow Financial Investment Management, Inc.
Market Environment:
After a brief lull in October, markets rebounded sharply, producing new highs for the year for virtually every domestic stock index. This follows a year when the first quarter made new lows and then rebounded with full force with the riskiest names leading the market higher. Within the Russell 2000® Value index, Materials, Healthcare and Utilities turned in the strongest performance for the quarter, while Technology, Financials and Consumer Discretionary lagged. Leading sectors in the year were Materials, Consumer Discretionary, and Information Technology; Financials, Utilities and Industrials lagged.
The blind pursuit of risk at any cost, which characterized the March through September rally, has ebbed; once again stocks are performing based on their quality and fundamental attractiveness. In late 2009, trends emerged that we believe will drive markets in 2010.
   
Deleveraging: The Dubai debt crisis confirmed that we are still in the first inning of global deleveraging. At home, we see the domestic savings rate climbing and consumer behavior shifting drastically to limit spending and pay down household debt.
 
   
Regulation: There undoubtedly will be winners and losers arising out of the Healthcare reform bill, but increased regulation acts as a tax on the system. Even more drastic economic effects may arise out of the regulation of the banking system and financial markets.
 
   
Improving sentiment: Robust business growth and carefree spending from the consumer have not returned. However, some indicators, e.g. consumer confidence and retail sales, have improved.
We expect 2010 to present both challenges and opportunities. The economy should slowly improve. Yet, we feel valuations are stretched and expect valuation multiples to regress to their long term averages. Unless the economy rebounds far greater than we expect, these factors will put an effective cap on upward momentum.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Small Value Portfolio returned 19.64%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, returned 20.58%.
Strategy Review:
Effective September 16, 2009, Mesirow Financial Investment Management, Inc. (“Mesirow”) became the sole sub-adviser to the Portfolio. Prior to that date, the Portfolio was co-managed. This commentary applies to the Mesirow portion of the Portfolio. For 2009, Mesirow’s small-cap portfolios outperformed the Russell 2000® Value Index by approximately 260 basis points. Top-performing sectors included Financials, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary. Top-performing stocks for the year were Oshkosh, Nutrisystem and Omnivision Technologies; worst-performing stocks for the year were SWS Group, Wesbanco, and Whitney Holding Co.
We believe that a company’s ultimate value is determined by its cash flow generation and the rational allocation of that capital. As such, we strive to identify companies selling below intrinsic value. We use a variety of screens to create a focus list from which we delve deeper into the company’s fundamentals.
In managing the Portfolio we continue to assess the risk/reward tradeoff for each of our holdings and of potential additions.
Biggest Positive Contributors for the year:
Oshkosh Corp. (OSK)
manufactures special purpose vehicles. Its shares were up 321% on increased balance sheet stability and significant military contract wins.
Nutrisystem (NTRI), a provider of weight management programs was up 124% on increased sales and new distribution initiatives through Wal-Mart and Costco.
Omnivision Technologies (OVTI) makes image sensor devices. The stock was up 176% on strong sales and product traction.
Biggest Negative Contributors for the year:
SWS Group (SWS), Wesbanco (WSBC) and Whitney Holdings (WTNY)
all declined due to concerns surrounding the banking industry.

Sub-advisers:
Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.
INVESCO Institutional (NA), Inc.
Wellington Management Company, LLP
Market Environment:
Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc. - For the financial markets, 2009 was a story of two polar opposite environments. The first period, which included the first nine to ten weeks of 2009, was one of serious banking system concerns, extreme volatility and fears of an economic collapse on par with the 1930s. The extreme nature of the market’s negative sentiment was punctuated with a sharp decline into early March which proved to be, retrospectively, the final climactic sell-off after a nearly year and a half long historic bear market. The second period, from early March to the end of 2009, witnessed a nearly equally historic stock (and bond) market rebound. Selling exhaustion led to an oversold rally, which then led to a more sustainable rally predicated on expectations that the worst of the economic and financial market downturn was behind us. As strong earnings and better global economic reports unfolded over the summer, stocks began to gain steam with only a modest correction from mid-June to mid-July. The strong third quarter earnings reporting season along with economic improvement in the second half helped fuel further gains.
INVESCO Institutional (NA), Inc. - What a difference a year makes! US equity markets posted 20%+ gains in 2009 after one of the worst years in its history in 2008. At the beginning of the year, the equity markets continued to sell-off as we were facing what appeared to be a deep and protracted global recession. After significant fiscal and monetary stimulus by governments and central banks worldwide, the market bottomed in early March. From March through September, the market proceeded to rally at a blistering pace, as perceived risks were significantly revised downward. Investors seized the opportunity to invest in the cheapest stocks some of which could be characterized by weak cash flows, poor earnings expectations, high degrees of leverage, and illiquidity. During the fourth quarter, the low quality rally subsided, allowing those stocks with improving fundamentals at reasonable valuations to shine. Nevertheless, it remains a bit early to conclude that 2009’s low quality rally has faded entirely.
Wellington Management Company, LLP - After a tumultuous start, US equities finished 2009 near their highs for the year and recorded a third consecutive quarter of gains. Throughout the year, extraordinary government measures helped to stabilize global economies and markets, and as the year progressed, low interest rates, better-than-expected corporate earnings, and improving economic data provided a favorable backdrop for equities.
Growth stocks (+34.5%) outpaced value (+20.6%) for the year as measured by the Russell 2000® Growth and Russell 2000® Value indices; while small-cap stocks modestly outperformed their larger peers as measured by the Russell 2000® Index (+27.2%) and S&P 500 Index (+26.5%).
Portfolio Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Small Core Portfolio returned 27.64%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, returned 27.17%.
Strategy Review:
Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc. (“FWIA”) - A strong absolute return in 2009 of 29.9% by the Transamerica/FWIA small-cap growth portfolio still lagged the Russell 2000® Growth Index by roughly 5.6%. Solid performance in the Technology and Financial sectors were not enough to offset poor performance in most other sectors. Underperformance was driven by several factors including weaker than expected earnings, negative reimbursement issues for several healthcare names, and the outperformance of more speculative, lower quality stocks (as defined as high debt, low market cap, poor sales and earnings trends, low returns on capital, high beta etc).
On the positive side of the ledger, our holdings in Vistaprint, Skyworks Solutions, F5 Networks (Technology), Big Lots and BJ’s Restaurants (Consumer Discretionary) appreciated significantly due to better than expected growth. Also, Energy names like Atwood Oceanics and Lufkin Industries rebounded on rising oil prices. Negative returns from several Healthcare (CardioNet, Wright Medical, OSI Pharma and NuVasive) and Energy (GMX Resources and McMoRan Exploration) holdings impacted performance.
As mentioned earlier, performance was hurt by the material outperformance of many stocks deemed as more speculative. Extremely low interest rates coupled with strengthening financial markets allowed companies with the poorest financial situations to survive by issuing equity and/or debt throughout the last three quarters of the year. This scenario, coupled with low valuations and oversold stock prices, led to a rapid and powerful upward move for many lower quality stocks.
The Portfolio’s sector overweight positions are in Energy, Consumer Discretionary, Financials and Technology. Energy is overweighted because oil demand is improving and global oil production growth will be challenged over the long term. In Consumer Discretionary, we like companies that have strong organic top line growth driven by domestic geographic expansion, international growth and/or recurring revenue. The financial position is driven largely by pawn broker and debt collection companies, which should benefit from the continued contraction in consumer credit, higher gold prices and increasing supply of charged-off credit card debt. In Technology, the need for increased data capacity in both Internet and wireless applications will benefit many of our holdings.

Management Review (continued)
 
(unaudited)
We think higher quality companies will once again return to favor because valuation spreads have narrowed and, in spite of the recent economic improvement, the business environment will be challenging. Our focus is on finding high quality companies with good balance sheets and cash flow that can increase sales even in a difficult economic environment or that can sustainably improve operating margins in the absence of top line growth.
INVESCO Institutional (NA), Inc. – Small Cap Value is an active small capitalization strategy designed to capture excess returns through Invesco Quantitative Strategies’ proprietary multi-factor stock selection model. We believe that relative returns are predictable based on certain fundamental and behavioral concepts. To capture excess return, our process 1) systematically evaluates stocks within their industry using four key investment concepts: Earnings Momentum, Price Trend, Management Action, and Relative Value 2) constructs the portfolio and manages risk to limit the impact of unintended beta, size, and industry biases, through an optimization technique that seeks to maximize expected return at a specified level of risk, and 3) maintains an on-going research effort to quantify and rigorously test investment themes.
The Transamerica Small Cap Value strategy with Invesco Global Quantitative Equity delivered a return of 23% (gross of fees) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, outperforming the 20.6% return of the Russell 2000® Value Index by 2.4%. Most of the value-added came from decisions made within the Consumer Services, Healthcare, Utility, and Financials sectors.
Stock selection was the primary source of excess return as the Portfolio benefited mostly from benchmark stocks we did not own in the Portfolio and stocks we chose to underweight. Favorable return contributions came from holdings in Oshkosh (Consumer Cyclicals -motor vehicles and parts), Stone Energy (Energy – reserves), and Big Lots (Consumer Cyclicals – specialty retail). Stocks detracting from returns include First Bancorp (Financial – bank), Hot Topic (Consumer Cyclicals - clothing), Inland Real Estate (Financials – REITS). The Portfolio was hurt by minor style biases which are directly related to our investment process which include being overweight momentum and underweight growth. Sector/Industry decisions modestly added value led by overweighting Technology and Healthcare. Underweighting Basic Materials and Transport modestly offset the value-added sector decisions.
Wellington Management Company, Inc. - Consistent with our bottom-up portfolio construction process, stock selection was a large contributor to relative results. Allocation among sectors, a residual of the stock selection process, was also significantly additive during the year. Stock selection was particularly strong within Financials, Industrials, and Consumer Staples. Selection was less favorable in Consumer Discretionary, Materials, and Information Technology.
Stock selection was strongest in Financials, where positions in auto lender Credit Acceptance and specialty investment company Ares Capital contributed positively.
The Portfolio’s largest relative contributor during the period and top holding at year-end was diversified global manufacturing company Carlisle. The company’s shares gained on strong earnings results. We continue to hold as the shares are inexpensive and the company’s operational improvements position it to benefit from an improving economy.
Consumer Staples holding Herbalife, the leading worldwide direct marketer of health and nutrition products, was among the top contributors. Shares rose as earnings results exceeded expectations and the company raised full-year guidance. We maintain our position as the stock remains attractively valued and the shares should benefit from improving operational and international trends.
Relative results in Consumer Discretionary suffered despite strong absolute performance from mattress company Tempur-Pedic and media information firm Arbitron. Underperformance was due primarily to positions in Modine, a manufacturer of vehicle heating-and-cooling parts, and US drive-in restaurant chain Sonic. Exposure to independent oil and gas exploration company Penn Virginia hurt results in Energy.

Market Environment:
The year 2009 came to a strong finish, which was especially surprising given the way the market started the year. The positive “January Effect” lasted less than a week into 2009, providing minor gains into the New Year. By mid-February, the confluence of deteriorating business visibility and confusion surrounding the $787 billion stimulus package sent the market reeling back to and below November 2008 lows. The market began a sharp recovery in March as macroeconomic signs emerged that the deterioration in the US economy was perhaps abating. The second quarter saw a continuation of strong performance as further signs of economic stabilization and potential for recovery became evident. The equity market continued its upward trajectory into the second half of the year, as companies began reporting better than expected second quarter earnings. In 2009, stock returns were more highly correlated, meaning that most stocks went up, than in any other period during the last 20 years (Source: ISI Group). While this phenomenon made stock selection challenging, we expect this effect to moderate in the coming year.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners Small Growth Portfolio returned 32.99%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, returned 34.47%.
Strategy Review:
Given Perimeter’s strategy of investing in companies with quality earnings growth and solid fundamentals, we were pleased that the Portfolio essentially kept pace with the Russell 2000® Growth Index (the“benchmark”) against the backdrop of the low quality rally for the majority of the year. While our overall stock selection was lackluster for the year and modestly underperformed the benchmark, Perimeter’s sector weights provided positive contribution to the Portfolio as an offset.
The majority of the allocation benefit came from our underweight in Healthcare, the market’s worst performing sector. For a variety of reasons, including government reform and the unprecedented economic impact on the sector from the recession, we were significantly underweight the Healthcare sector during the year. From an individual stock perspective in Healthcare, the Portfolio was hurt by negative news impacting two of our holdings – CardioNet (BEAT) and Synovis Life Technologies (SYNO). In the case of CardioNet, the stock fell on concerns of significantly reduced reimbursement rates, while Synovis announced a strategic but dilutive acquisition and reported second quarter earnings short of expectations. In both cases, we maintained and/or added to our positions. Lastly, two highly unprofitable, biotechnology companies that we did NOT own but that reside in the benchmark – Human Genome Sciences Inc. (HGSI) and Mederex (MEDX) - had very strong performance, detracting over 0.75% from our Portfolio relative to the benchmark.
For much of the year, we also maintained our overweight positions in the Technology, Energy and Materials sectors, which contributed positively to performance. Evidence of improving global demand for commodities propelled the Materials and Energy groups higher.
We have believed that one of the key factors driving stock market returns over the past year was the wide variance in valuation levels between stocks. Higher quality, more fairly valued stocks underperformed in 2009, while the lowest quality, cheapest and lowest valued stocks performed the best. Looking forward, now that valuation levels between stocks have narrowed, we believe that the market will focus on companies that can deliver growth in the coming year. Based on our experience, growth and strong fundamental performance will be paramount to stock selection in this environment, which should favor Perimeter’s quality, growth-oriented process.

Thornburg Investment Management, Inc.
Market Environment:
Today, developed markets continue to struggle with the hangovers of a recession. High unemployment and depressed capacity utilization continue to plague these economies. While signs of a recovery are emerging, the near term path is still not obvious.
A recent trip to Asia found a more upbeat outlook than that on this side of the Pacific. Under-levered personal balance sheets should in time boost consumerism among the rising middle-class population which could help to rebalance the global economy, ultimately reducing dependence on the United States. Developing markets have led the rebound more than established ones. Growth in the emerging markets is largely expected to outpace that of the developed world. If this trend continues we would expect companies domiciled in and exposed to these markets to outperform their less exposed counterparts.
As we have articulated in the past, we continue to maintain a focus on protecting capital in down markets and participating in strong ones. From a real-world perspective, this focus has manifested itself in a preference for operating leverage over financial leverage, sound business models that are cash generative and predominantly self-funding, and ample diversification across a truly global portfolio of world-class companies. We believe this approach will allow us to continue to benefit from an improving economic backdrop, while leaving us relatively well-positioned should the difficult conditions of 2008 and early 2009 resurface as central banks become increasingly focused on removing liquidity from the system.
Performance:
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Transamerica Partners International Equity Portfolio returned 26.10%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI All-Country World Ex-US Index, returned 42.14%. Benchmark changed from the MSCI World Ex-US Index on December 31, 2008.
Strategy Review:
The MSCI All Country World ex-US Index proved to be a very difficult benchmark to keep up with in 2009. However, while the strategy underperformed the benchmark we are still quite happy with a return of approximately 37% for the period from mid-January 2009 (when we became the Portfolio’s sub-adviser) until year end 2009. Stock selection, as opposed to allocating to specific sectors on a top down basis, was the main driver of the Portfolio’s performance. Stock selection was strongest in Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary, Energy and stocks.
In the Consumer Discretionary sector, LVMH (MC FP), Hennes & Mauritz (HMB SS) and Carnival (CCL LN) all tracked to our investment theses and proved to be very resilient during a challenging time for consumers in the developed world. For LVMH, a producer of luxury goods, some of this resiliency is attributable to their ability to maintain pricing power and hence profit margins but much of their success recently has been due to their exposure to parts of the developing world where the consumer is less indebted.
The two sectors that detracted the most from benchmark relative performance were Information Technology and Materials. Weakness for the Portfolio in the Information Technology sector was mainly attributable to our holdings in Nokia and Nintendo. Nokia has suffered from increased competition from Apple and Rim. Nintendo has had strong headwinds in the form of weak consumer demand for its video games and a strong yen.
In the Materials sector, the Portfolio had approximately half the weight of the benchmark and posted a return of approximately 28% relative to that of approximately 88% for the benchmark. Weakness for the Portfolio in this sector was attributable to our position in Givaudan, a Swiss fragrance and flavoring company.
There has been considerable activity in the Portfolio recently and much of it has been focused mainly on profit taking in appreciated assets where risk-reward has deteriorated from initial purchase, as well as strategic additions to names that have lagged despite favorable valuations and outlooks. Activity over the course of the year coupled with market forces has yielded more balance between the Basic Value and Consistent Earner stocks that typically comprise approximately 80% of the Portfolio.
