Beginning January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds intend to no longer mail paper copies of the funds’ shareholder reports, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from a fund or your financial intermediary (such as broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be made available on a website and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically (“e-delivery”), you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from a fund electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you are a direct shareholder with a fund, by calling 1-888-233-4339.

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports where a fund is held through that intermediary. If you are a direct shareholder with a fund, you can call 1-888-233-4339 to let the fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. That election will apply to all Transamerica funds held directly with the fund complex.

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2019


Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of Transamerica Funds, I 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 professional in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Fund(s) during the fiscal year. The Securities and Exchange Commission currently requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides detailed information about your Fund(s) for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last fiscal year to provide a context for reading this report. As the period began, domestic and international markets were in the beginning phase of a fourth quarter decline which would eventually take the S&P 500® down almost 20% from its previous record high. Investor anxiety was primarily driven by two dynamics creating high levels of uncertainty as the year was concluding. These dynamics were Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy and the ongoing trade dispute with China.

Selling accelerated into year-end as the Fed implemented its fourth rate hike of the year and ninth since its tightening cycle had begun three years earlier. This played into developing market fears that the Fed was on the verge of a major policy error, of raising rates into a slowing economy. Parallel to concerns with the Fed, the market also grappled with deteriorating trade relations with China and the prospect of additional U.S. imposed tariffs. Together, these two concerns sent stocks sliding as the market experienced its worst month of December in more than eighty-five years. Unlike the equity markets, however, the December strains also garnered a flight to quality in U.S. Treasury bonds and a large downward move in the 10-year Treasury yield which fell by over a half a percent, from 3.24% on November 8th to 2.69% by the end of 2018.

As the calendar turned to 2019, the Fed quickly changed its perspective to one of patience, and it became clear to the market that no further rate hikes were likely in the immediate future. In May, markets were surprised to hear that a trade deal with China would not come to fruition as expected, and a new round of tariffs went into effect. This jolted stocks to some extent, however, the Fed acted quickly, first by signaling in June that it was ready to reverse course and begin reducing rates starting with a rate cut of 0.25% at the July meeting. As trade uncertainty with China continued and the rhetoric escalated, the Fed cut rates twice more in September and October, negating three of the four hikes from the year past. During the summer, investors also witnessed the inversion of the yield curve, as long-term Treasury rates fell below short-term rates, stoking recession fears. However, by late October, after the Fed had enacted its third rate cut of the year, long-term rates rose, and the yield curve moved back into a traditional upward slope.

In the credit markets, investment grade and high yield bonds began 2019 with elongated credit spreads as a result of the economic fears created from the Fed’s tightening activity toward the end of 2018 and the potential impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy. As both those fears thawed throughout the year, credit spreads narrowed, market fundamentals remained strong and corporate bonds posted strong returns throughout the first half of the year. International developed and emerging markets equities also recovered well during this time.

As the autumn months began, investors could also recognize the continued strength in the economy. The unemployment rate continued close to the lowest level in a half century, wages continued to grow, inflation remained benign and consumer spending progressed on a strong path. In this environment, lower rates also helped equity valuations as the market looked forward to higher earnings growth in 2020.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index returned 14.33% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, returned 11.63%. During the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%. Please keep in mind that 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 professional is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial professionals are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your professional, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline and your risk tolerance.

Please contact your financial professional if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.

Sincerely,

Disclosure of Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses.

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 May 1, 2019, and held for the entire six-month period until October 31, 2019.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The information in the table below 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), 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. If your account is an IRA, your expenses may have included an additional annual fee. The amount of any fee paid during the six-month period can decrease your ending account value.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The information in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. 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. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries, or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Global equity markets got off to a bumpy start for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For much of 2018, U.S. stocks had rallied, largely on 2018’s corporate tax cuts and the resulting one-time bump in earnings growth. But stocks faltered in the fourth quarter of 2018 on trade-war concerns, slowing economic growth, and an interest-rate increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”). A market dip in October was followed by a more precipitous decline in December. The S&P 500® dropped -9.03% in December, capping a -13.52% loss for the final quarter of 2018. Foreign stocks held up a bit better, with the MSCI EAFE Index falling -4.85% in December 2018 and -12.54% for the fourth quarter. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined -2.65% in December 2018 and -7.46% for the fourth quarter.

Equities rebounded in early 2019, spurred primarily by a mood shift at the Fed toward a more accommodative bias. The S&P 500® jumped 13.65% in the first quarter of 2019, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets Indexes were up 9.98% and 9.91%, respectively. U.S. stocks continued to drift upward in the second and third quarters, and continued to outpace foreign markets despite negative S&P 500® earnings growth and ongoing U.S./China trade-war drama. There were meaningful downturns in May and late July/early August, suggesting that investors still harbored anxiety about U.S. equity valuations, the trade war, and underwhelming economic growth. The Fed cut rates three times bolstering the equity markets, which ended the period with gains in September and October.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, U.S. stocks outgained foreign stocks. The S&P 500® returned 14.33% for the 12-month period, while the MSCI EAFE Index was up 11.04% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 11.86%. Within the U.S., large- and mid-cap growth stocks led the gains. The Russell 1000® Growth Index returned 17.10%, while the Russell 1000® Value Index managed only an 11.21% gain. As a group, small cap stocks were left behind; the Russell 2000® Index rose only 4.90%.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio (Class A) returned 8.64%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index and the Wilshire 5000 Total Market IndexSM, returned 11.51% and 12.87%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

As value-driven managers overseeing a multi-asset portfolio, we’ve been gravitating to markets trading less expensively than U.S. stocks. In the equity sleeve, that has meant tilting more toward foreign markets than usual. Generally, we would consider a U.S. equity/foreign equity mix of about two-thirds/one-third to be our neutral stance. But we’ve been leaning more heavily into foreign stocks during the past year. In our view, valuations abroad have been more attractive. Though not cheap, stocks in many foreign developed markets, such as those in Europe and Japan, seem less exposed to a downward normalization of valuations. We also have been emphasizing emerging markets within the equity sleeve, as their valuations rank as the least-inflated in our analysis, while their fundamentals appear healthy in most cases. On the bond side of the portfolio, we have been more U.S.-centric, because yields in Europe and Japan have been very low. In fact, some bonds from those regions have been carrying negative yields. It has been a different story in emerging markets, as our analysts view emerging markets bonds to be one of the best-valued parts of the global bond market in recent years, and we have been overweight that area throughout the 12-month period.

Leaning into foreign equities has meant missing out on some of the U.S. stock market’s recent gains. Indeed, exposure to just about any equities other than U.S. large-cap growth stocks over the past year has diluted returns relative to the S&P 500®. One example is U.S. small-cap stocks, which the portfolio diversifies into by design. As mentioned above, small stocks have lagged large stocks over the past year. We also have a modest position in energy infrastructure — which we believe is one of the few pockets of value within the U.S. That asset class has been fairly flat over the past year likely due to investors’ focus on oil prices. We like energy infrastructure because it’s selling at a bargain in our opinion, as its returns are not highly correlated to the major stock averages, and it has been paying the portfolio a stream of growing dividends. The portfolio also diversifies into several absolute-return funds, a couple of which were down a little for the year. On the bond side, we’ve been positioned more in line with what the market has rewarded over the past 12 months — an underweight position in high-yield bonds, overweight in core U.S. bonds, and as mentioned, overweight in emerging markets debt.

No market environment lasts forever. After the past couple of years it might seem like U.S. stocks are the only game in town, but you only need to go back to 2017 for an example of when the tables were turned. That year the MSCI EAFE Index returned 25.03% which outpaced the 21.83% return of the S&P 500®, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperformed both with a return of 37.28%. Value investing hasn’t been rewarded for a while either. Growth stocks have led not only in the U.S., but also around the world for the past two years. As value investors, we retreat from overheated parts of the market and look for the next opportunities, which can be found in places the market is ignoring.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

Markets tend to move in cycles. The sands are always shifting, hot areas cool off, and forgotten areas rebound. We believe our value-driven process is the right approach for the long term, and we think it’s especially apt in the current environment characterized by rich asset prices across much of the risk spectrum.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for Class A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (1% in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. There are no sales charges on Class I and R shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Asset allocation, like many investment strategies, offers no guarantee of positive returns, and mutual funds are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. Global/international stock funds and specialty/sector funds are subject to additional market risks. Fees associated with a fund-of-funds may be higher than with other funds. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying investments including fixed income investing which is subject to credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk. Investments in small- and medium-sized companies present additional risks such as increased volatility because their earnings are less predictable, their share price more volatile, and their securities less liquid than larger or more established companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Global equity markets got off to a bumpy start for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For much of 2018, U.S. stocks had rallied, largely on 2018’s corporate tax cuts and the resulting one-time bump in earnings growth. But stocks faltered in the fourth quarter of 2018 on trade-war concerns, slowing economic growth, and an interest-rate increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”). A market dip in October was followed by a more precipitous decline in December. The S&P 500® dropped -9.03% in December, capping a -13.52% loss for the final quarter of 2018. Foreign stocks held up a bit better, with the MSCI EAFE Index falling -4.85% in December 2018 and -12.54% for the fourth quarter. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined -2.65% in December 2018 and -7.46% for the fourth quarter.

Equities rebounded in early 2019, spurred primarily by a mood shift at the Fed toward a more accommodative bias. The S&P 500® jumped 13.65% in 2019’s first quarter, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets Indexes were up 9.98% and 9.91%, respectively. U.S. stocks continued to drift upward in the second and third quarters, and continued to outpace foreign markets despite negative S&P 500® earnings growth and ongoing U.S./China trade-war drama. There were meaningful downturns in May and late July/early August, suggesting that investors still harbored anxiety about U.S. equity valuations, the trade war, and underwhelming economic growth. The Fed cut rates three times bolstering the equity markets, which ended the period with gains in September and October.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, U.S. stocks outgained foreign stocks. The S&P 500® returned 14.33% for the 12-month period, while the MSCI EAFE Index was up 11.04% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 11.86%. Within the U.S., large- and mid-cap growth stocks led the gains. The Russell 1000® Growth Index returned 17.10%, while the Russell 1000® Value Index managed only an 11.21% gain. As a group, small cap stocks were left behind; the Russell 2000® Index rose only 4.90%.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio (Class A) returned 7.89%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Wilshire 5000 Total Market IndexSM, returned 12.87%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

As value-driven managers overseeing a multi-asset portfolio, we’ve been gravitating to markets trading less expensively than U.S. equities. That has meant tilting more toward foreign markets than usual. Generally, we would consider a U.S./foreign mix of about two-thirds/one-third to be our neutral stance within the equity sleeve. But we’ve been leaning more heavily into foreign markets during the past year — along the lines of 55%/45%. In our view, valuations abroad have been more attractive. Though not cheap, many foreign developed markets, such as those in Europe and Japan, seem less exposed to a downward normalization of valuations. Of course we focus on more than just valuations; our research delves into country and regional fundamentals as well. All things considered, the majority of foreign markets look like better opportunities than the U.S. at this point in the cycle. We also have been emphasizing emerging markets, as their valuations rank as the least-inflated in our analysis, while their fundamentals appear healthy in most cases.

Leaning into foreign equities has meant missing out on some of the U.S. stock market’s recent gains. Indeed, exposure to just about any equities other than U.S. large-cap growth stocks over the past year has diluted returns relative to the S&P 500®. One example is U.S. small-cap stocks, which the portfolio diversifies into by design. As mentioned above, small stocks have lagged large stocks over the past year. We also have a position in energy infrastructure — which we believe is one of the few pockets of value within the U.S. That asset class has been fairly flat over the past year likely due to investors’ focus on oil prices. We like energy infrastructure because it’s selling at a bargain in our opinion, as its returns are not highly correlated to the major stock averages, and it has been paying the portfolio a stream of growing dividends. The portfolio also diversifies into several absolute-return funds; and we don’t expect those to match stock returns during a rally like 2019’s, and they haven’t.

No market environment lasts forever. After the past couple of years it might seem like U.S. stocks are the only game in town, but you only need to go back to 2017 for an example of when the tables were turned. That year the MSCI EAFE Index returned 25.03% which outpaced the 21.83% return of the S&P 500®, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperformed both with a return of 37.28%. Value investing hasn’t been rewarded for a while either. Growth stocks have led not only in the U.S., but also around the world for the past two years. As value investors, we retreat from overheated parts of the market and look for the next opportunities, which can be found in places the market is ignoring.

Markets tend to move in cycles. The sands are always shifting, hot areas cool off, and forgotten areas rebound. More importantly, we believe our value-driven process is the right approach for the long term, and we think it’s especially apt in the current environment characterized by rich asset prices across much of the risk spectrum.

(A) The Wilshire 5000 Total Market IndexSM measures the performance of most U.S. domiciled public securities with readily available price data. Companies in the index are weighted by available float and market-capitalization.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for Class A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (1% in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. There are no sales charges on Class I and R shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Global equity markets got off to a bumpy start for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For much of 2018, U.S. stocks had rallied, largely on 2018’s corporate tax cuts and the resulting one-time bump in earnings growth. But stocks faltered in the fourth quarter of 2018 on trade-war concerns, slowing economic growth, and an interest-rate increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”). A market dip in October was followed by a more precipitous decline in December. The S&P 500® dropped -9.03% in December, capping a -13.52% loss for the final quarter of 2018. Foreign stocks held up a bit better, with the MSCI EAFE Index falling -4.85% in December 2018 and -12.54% for the fourth quarter. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined -2.65% in December 2018 and -7.46% for the fourth quarter.

Equities rebounded in early 2019, spurred primarily by a mood shift at the Fed toward a more accommodative bias. The S&P 500® jumped 13.65% in the first quarter of 2019, while the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets Indexes were up 9.98% and 9.91%, respectively. U.S. stocks continued to drift upward in the second and third quarters, and continued to outpace foreign markets despite negative S&P 500® earnings growth and ongoing U.S./China trade-war drama. There were meaningful downturns in May and late July/early August, suggesting that investors still harbored anxiety about U.S. equity valuations, the trade war, and underwhelming economic growth. The Fed cut rates three times bolstering the equity markets, which ended the period with gains in September and October.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, U.S. stocks outgained foreign stocks. The S&P 500® returned 14.33% for the 12-month period, while the MSCI EAFE Index was up 11.04% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 11.86%. Within the U.S., large- and mid-cap growth stocks led the gains. The Russell 1000® Growth Index returned 17.10%, while the Russell 1000® Value Index managed only an 11.21% gain. As a group, small cap stocks were left behind; the Russell 2000® Index rose only 4.90%.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio (Class A) returned 8.37%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Wilshire 5000 Total Market IndexSM and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, returned 12.87% and 11.51%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

As value-driven managers overseeing a multi-asset portfolio, we’ve been gravitating to markets trading less expensively than U.S. equities. That has meant tilting more toward foreign markets than usual. Generally, we would consider a U.S./foreign mix of about two-thirds/one-third to be our neutral stance within the equity sleeve. But we’ve been leaning more heavily into foreign markets during the past year — along the lines of 55%/45%. In our view, valuations abroad have been more attractive. Though not cheap, many foreign developed markets, such as those in Europe and Japan, seem less exposed to a downward normalization of valuations. Of course we focus on more than just valuations; our research delves into country and regional fundamentals as well. All things considered, the majority of foreign markets look like better opportunities than the U.S. at this point in the cycle. We also have been emphasizing emerging markets within the equity sleeve, as their valuations rank as the least-inflated in our analysis, while their fundamentals appear healthy in most cases.

Leaning into foreign equities has meant missing out on some of the U.S. stock market’s recent gains. Indeed, exposure to just about any equities other than U.S. large-cap growth stocks over the past year has diluted returns relative to the S&P 500®. One example is U.S. small-cap stocks, which the portfolio diversifies into by design. As mentioned above, small stocks have lagged large stocks over the past year. We also have a modest position in energy infrastructure — which we believe is one of the few pockets of value within the U.S. That asset class has been fairly flat over the past year likely due to investors’ focus on oil prices. We like energy infrastructure because it’s selling at a bargain in our opinion, as its returns are not highly correlated to the major stock averages, and it has been paying the portfolio a stream of growing dividends. The portfolio also diversifies into several absolute-return funds; and we don’t expect those to match stock returns during a rally like 2019’s, and they haven’t. On the bond we’ve been positioned more in line with what the market has rewarded over the past 12 months — an underweight in high-yield bonds, overweight in core bonds, and overweight in emerging-market debt.

No market environment lasts forever. After the past couple of years it might seem like U.S. stocks are the only game in town, but you only need to go back to 2017 for an example of when the tables were turned. That year the MSCI EAFE Index returned 25.03% which outpaced the 21.83% return of the S&P 500®, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperformed both with a return of 37.28%. Value investing hasn’t been rewarded for a while either. Growth stocks have led not only in the U.S., but also around the world for the past two years. As value investors, we retreat from overheated parts of the market and look for the next opportunities, which can be found in places the market is ignoring.

Markets tend to move in cycles. The sands are always shifting, hot areas cool off, and forgotten areas rebound.

(A) The Wilshire 5000 Total Market IndexSM measures the performance of most U.S. domiciled public securities with readily available price data. Companies in the index are weighted by available float and market-capitalization.

(B) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for Class A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (1% in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. There are no sales charges on Class I and R shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Asset allocation, like many investment strategies, offers no guarantee of positive returns, and mutual funds are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. Global/international stock funds and specialty/sector funds are subject to additional market risks. Fees associated with a fund-of-funds may be higher than with other funds. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying investments including fixed income investing which is subject to credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk. Investment in small-and medium sized companies present additional risks such as increased volatility because their earnings are less predictable, their share price more volatile, and their securities less liquid than larger or more established companies.

(A) The Wilshire 5000 Total Market IndexSM measures the performance of most U.S. domiciled public securities with readily available price data. Companies in the index are weighted by available float and market-capitalization.

(B) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for Class A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (1% in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. There are no sales charges on Class I and R shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Asset allocation, like many investment strategies, offers no guarantee of positive returns, and mutual funds are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. Global/international stock funds and specialty/sector funds are subject to additional market risks. Fees associated with a fund-of-funds may be higher than with other funds. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying investments including fixed income investing which is subject to credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk. Investments in small- and medium-sized companies present additional risks such as increased volatility because their earnings are less predictable, their share price more volatile, and their securities less liquid than larger or more established companies

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The period began with U.S. equities in decline, as trade tensions between the U.S. and China and a steadily climbing Federal Funds Rate shook investor confidence in the fourth quarter of 2018. Selling intensified near year end when investors decided that the December Federal Reserve (“Fed”) rate hike was one too many. At its worst, the S&P 500® was down almost 20% from its peak while small caps were down over 25%, however, selling abated around the New Year when Fed Chairman Jerome Powell capitulated and paused the rate hikes. Over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Fed had fully reversed course and cut rates three times. The market responded positively and was achieving new all-time highs by spring of 2019.

Turning to fundamentals, the U.S. consumer continued to drive the economy, as low unemployment, rising wages and accommodative credit fueled spending. The manufacturing sector, both in the U.S. and abroad, did not enjoy the same strength, as evidenced by declining Purchasing Manager Index reports which saw numerous developed economies, including Japan, the Euro Area and the United Kingdom, fall into manufacturing contraction. As such, sectors like energy, materials and transports underperformed the broader market in the U.S., while growth sectors like technology and consumer discretionary outperformed.

Interest rate markets experienced volatility during the period, as investors tried to gauge whether the economy was continuing along in a later-cycle environment or if markets were at a turning point. This uncertainty kept a bid under Treasuries, which saw the 10-year yield fall from above 3% to 1.69% by period end. In hindsight, both equity and credit markets remained well supported by slow yet steady economic and corporate earnings growth, ample access to credit and strong investor demand for both yield and total return.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Asset Allocation Intermediate Horizon (Class R4) returned 10.10%. By comparison, its primary, secondary, and additional benchmarks, the S&P 500®, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index and the Transamerica Asset Allocation Intermediate Horizon Blended Benchmark, returned 14.33%, 11.51% and 11.47%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Our asset allocation funds seek to simplify the investment decision and diversification processes by providing investors with pre-determined target asset allocations based on different retirement time horizons. Each asset allocation fund has a unique and well-diversified fixed income and equity allocation.

Transamerica Asset Allocation Intermediate Horizon invests approximately 50% in equity funds and 50% in fixed income funds. The portfolio is periodically rebalanced based on how much the underlying holdings drift from the strategic target in an effort to both maintain the target allocations and to redeploy assets incrementally from outperforming holdings into those that are weaker in an effort to continually buy low and sell high.

The Fund’s best-performing holding over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 was Transamerica Mid Cap Growth with a gain of 23.41% and a target weighting of 3%. The top equity contributor to overall performance was Transamerica Large Growth which carried a target allocation of 13% and returned 15.57%. The top performing fixed income fund in the portfolio was Transamerica Intermediate Bond which returned 11.26%, boosted by falling market interest rates. It was also the largest overall contributor to performance and carried a target weight of 24%.

The weakest equity fund holding during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 was Transamerica Small Cap Value which gained 2.77% and had a target allocation of 3%. The weakest non-money market fixed income fund in the portfolio, Transamerica High Quality Bond, still achieved attractive returns of 5.38% and had a target weight of 8%. Relative to funds which can take on more credit and interest rate risk, the fund underperformed. That profile is by design, as we expect its short-term, high-quality focus to provide a relative ballast against more aggressive underlying holdings when markets decline.

Our asset allocation funds seek to simplify the investment decision and diversification processes by providing investors with pre-determined target asset allocations based on different retirement time horizons. Each asset allocation fund has a unique and well-diversified fixed income and equity allocation.

Transamerica Asset Allocation Long Horizon invests approximately 90% in equity funds and 10% in fixed income funds. The portfolio is periodically rebalanced based on how much the underlying holdings drift from the strategic target in an effort to both maintain the target allocations and to redeploy assets incrementally from outperforming holdings into those that have been weaker in an effort to continually buy low and sell high.

The Fund’s best-performing holding over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 was Transamerica Mid Cap Growth with a gain of 23.41% and a target weighting of 6%. The top equity contributor to overall performance was Transamerica Large Growth which carried a target allocation of 21% and returned 15.57%. The top performing fixed income fund in the portfolio was Transamerica Intermediate Bond which returned 11.26%, boosted by falling market interest rates. It was also the largest fixed income contributor to performance and carried a target weight of 4%.

The weakest equity fund holding during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 was Transamerica Small Cap Value which gained 2.77% and had a target allocation of 6%. The weakest non-money market fixed income fund in the portfolio, Transamerica High Quality Bond, still achieved attractive returns of 5.38% and had a target weight of 0.5%. Relative to funds which can take on more credit and interest rate risk, the fund underperformed. That profile is by design, as we expect its short-term, high-quality focus to provide a relative ballast against more aggressive underlying holdings when markets decline.

An investment in the fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying investments including fixed income investing which is subject to credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk. Investment in small- and medium-sized companies present additional risks such as increased volatility because their earnings are less predictable, their share price more volatile, and their securities less liquid than larger or more established companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The period began with U.S. equities in decline, as trade tensions between the U.S. and China and a steadily climbing Federal Funds Rate shook investor confidence in the fourth quarter of 2018. Selling intensified near year end when investors decided that the December Federal Reserve (“Fed”) rate hike was one too many. At its worst, the S&P 500® was down almost 20% from its peak while small caps were down over 25%, however, selling abated around the New Year when Fed Chairman Jerome Powell capitulated and paused the rate hikes. Over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Fed had fully reversed course and cut rates three times. The market responded positively and was achieving new all-time highs by spring of 2019.

Turning to fundamentals, the U.S. consumer continued to drive the economy, as low unemployment, rising wages and accommodative credit fueled spending. The manufacturing sector, both in the U.S. and abroad, did not enjoy the same strength, as evidenced by declining Purchasing Manager Index reports which saw numerous developed economies, including Japan, the Euro Area and the United Kingdom, fall into manufacturing contraction. As such, sectors like energy, materials and transports underperformed the broader market in the U.S., while growth sectors like technology and consumer discretionary outperformed.

Interest rate markets experienced volatility during the period, as investors tried to gauge whether the economy was continuing along in a later-cycle environment or if markets were at a turning point. This uncertainty kept a bid under Treasuries, which saw the 10-year yield fall from above 3% to 1.69% by period end. In hindsight, both equity and credit markets remained well supported by slow yet steady economic and corporate earnings growth, ample access to credit and strong investor demand for both yield and total return.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Asset Allocation Short Horizon (Class R4) returned 8.78%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index and the Transamerica Asset Allocation Short Horizon Blended Benchmark, returned 11.51% and 9.73%, respectively.

The top performing fixed income fund in the portfolio was Transamerica Intermediate Bond which returned 11.26%, boosted by falling market interest rates. It was also the largest overall contributor to performance and carried a target weight of 46%.

The weakest equity fund holding during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 was Transamerica Small Cap Core which lost -6.31% and had a target allocation of 2%. The weakest non-money market fixed income fund in the portfolio, Transamerica High Quality Bond, still achieved attractive returns of 5.38% and had a target weight of 17%. Relative to funds which can take on more credit and interest rate risk, the fund underperformed.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The end of 2018 was a challenging market environment for risk assets as a combination of slowing global growth, downward revisions in corporate earnings growth expectations, and a less accommodative U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) weighed on performance. Global equities were down over the last two months of 2018, with major equity markets across the U.S., Eurozone and Japan all posting negative returns. Despite continued weakness in Chinese data, emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets in large part due to the strong performance of Indian equities. In bonds, the U.S. 10 year yield fell due to signs of slowing global economic growth.

In contrast, 2019 has so far been characterized by a synchronized rally in risk assets, recovering from the sell-off in late 2018. The key themes that have driven financial markets year-to-date include: a dovish pivot by central banks that has been supportive for risk assets, the continued drag on economic activity from trade tensions, and a softening in manufacturing data.

The first half of 2019 saw continued weakness in global economic growth. This weakness, combined with muted inflationary pressures across developed markets, led the Fed and the European Central Bank to keep monetary policy supportive of growth. Global equities delivered positive returns year to date, with strong outperformance in the U.S. supported by better than expected earnings and labor statistics. Emerging market equities were up modestly, underperforming developed market equities. In fixed income, U.S. 10 year bond yields declined on the back of an overall slowdown in the global economy, limited inflationary pressures and signaling by central banks of accommodative policy, namely expectations of U.S. rate cuts.

The third quarter of 2019 saw continued slowdown in global manufacturing and an increase in the possibility for recession. Interest rates on U.S. government bonds continued to fall as the Fed cut rates twice, while U.S.-China trade negotiations remained volatile. Global equities were slightly up on the quarter, with emerging market equities underperforming due to trade tensions. Oil remained very volatile, and posted a negative return despite a surge in prices following an attack on Saudi Arabian production.

In October 2019, there was a rally in risk assets driven by a tentative truce in the U.S.-China trade war, easy monetary policy, increased probability of a Brexit deal, and a better-than-expected earnings season.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio (Class A), returned 4.10%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the ICE BofAML 3-Month Treasury Bill +3% Wrap Index and the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, returned 5.52% and 3.53%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the ICE BofAML 3-Month Treasury Bill +3% Wrap Index, but outperformed the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, its secondary benchmark.

This is a fund-of-funds multistrategy portfolio, which seeks to provide returns from differentiated sources and strategies. It relies on diversification across active investment styles, asset classes, markets, geographies and strategies to deliver better risk-adjusted absolute returns less correlated to traditional equities. It invests primarily in underlying alternative strategies. The Portfolio also invested in an ETF and futures positions during the fiscal year.

During the fiscal year, alternative strategies broadly contributed to performance in the Fund. Transamerica Inflation Opportunities, Transamerica Unconstrained Bond, Transamerica Long/Short Equity, and Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities funds were the primary contributors. Transamerica Global Multifactor Macro and Transamerica Managed Futures funds were the main detractors among alternatives.

Traditional strategies also contributed positively overall as equities and fixed income performed well over the 12-month period. Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt, Transamerica High Yield Bond, and Transamerica Core Bond were among the top performers.

The Fund’s positioning to be short U.S. interest rates, implemented through U.S. Treasury futures, detracted from performance during the period as U.S. yields fell.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

(A) The ICE BofAML 3-Month Treasury Bill + 3% Wrap Index assumes a 3% wrap fee and is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month, which is subsequently sold at the end of the month and rolled into a newly selected issue. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, three months from the rebalancing date.

(B) The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index is designed to measure the daily performance of the overall composition of the hedge fund universe. It is comprised of all eligible hedge fund strategies; including but not limited to convertible arbitrage, distressed securities, equity hedge, equity market neutral, event driven, macro, merger arbitrage, and relative value arbitrage.

The ICE BofAML 3-Month Treasury Bill + 3% Wrap Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index is a passively-managed index designed to measure the daily performance of the overall composition of the hedge fund universe. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for Class A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. There are no sales charges on Class I and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Alternative strategies may not suitable for all investors. Many alternative strategies tend to use sophisticated and aggressive investment techniques. Certain alternative strategies may be tied to hard assets such as commodities, currencies and real estate and may be subject to greater volatility as they may be affected by overall market movements, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry, commodity or currency, and international economic, political, and regulatory developments. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.

(B)   Class B ceased operations on May 6, 2019.
(C)   Class T1 ceased operations on February 15, 2019.

Each class has a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Effective May 6, 2019, Class B shares automatically converted to Class A shares. Class B shares are no longer available to existing investors except for exchanges, and dividend and capital gains reinvestment. Effective September 16, 2018, Class C shares will convert to Class A shares ten years from the date of purchase.

Each Fund, a “fund of fund”, invests the majority of its assets among certain other series of the Trust (hereafter referred to as “Underlying Funds”). The shareholder reports of the Underlying Funds, including the Schedule of Investments, should be read in conjunction with this report. The Underlying Funds’ shareholder reports are not covered by this report.

This report must be accompanied or preceded by each Fund’s current prospectus, which contains additional information about the Funds, including risks, sales charges, as well as investment objectives and strategies.

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Funds pursuant to an investment management agreement. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Funds. TAM supervises each Fund’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Funds.

TAM is responsible for the day-to-day management of Intermediate Horizon, Long Horizon and Short Horizon. For each of the other Funds, TAM currently acts as a “manager of managers” and hires sub-advisers to furnish day-to-day investment advice and recommendations. TAM may, in the future, determine to provide all aspects of the day-to-day management of these other Funds without the use of a sub-adviser. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, the design and development of the Funds and their investment strategies and the ongoing review and evaluation of those investment strategies including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for the Funds employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative screens, research, analysis and due diligence; negotiation of sub-advisory agreements and fees; oversight and monitoring of sub-advisers and recommending changes to sub-advisers where it believes appropriate or advisable; recommending fund combinations and liquidations where it believes appropriate or advisable; selection and oversight of transition managers, as needed; regular supervision of the Funds’ investments; regular review and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Funds; regular review of holdings; ongoing trade oversight and analysis; regular monitoring to ensure adherence to investment process; regular calls and periodic on-site visits with sub-advisers; portfolio construction and asset allocation when using multiple sub-advisers for a Fund; risk management oversight and analysis; oversight of negotiation of investment documentation and agreements; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the valuation process; periodic due diligence reviews of pricing vendors and vendor methodology; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the compliance process; respond to regulatory inquiries and determine appropriate litigation strategy, as needed; review of proxies voted by sub-advisers; oversight of preparation, and review, of materials for meetings of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation, and review, of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; oversight of other service providers to the Funds, such as the custodian, the transfer agent, the Funds’ independent accounting firm and legal counsel; supervision of the performance of recordkeeping and shareholder relations functions for the Funds; and oversight of cash management services. TAM uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools to carry out its investment management services. TAM, not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-adviser(s) for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

1. ORGANIZATION (continued)

 

TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below: to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of the Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in the oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of Fund investments; assisting with Fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds; assisting the Funds in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Funds’ independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on a first-in, first-out basis. Interest income, if any, is accrued as earned. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from underlying investments, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from underlying investments, if any, are recorded as Dividend income from investments within the Statement of Operations. Long-term capital gain distributions received from underlying investments, if any, are recorded as Net realized gain (loss) on Capital gain distributions received from investments within the Statement of Operations.

Multiple class operations, income, and expenses: Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class daily based upon net assets. Each class bears its own specific expenses in addition to the allocated non-class specific expenses.

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Commission recapture: The sub-adviser(s), to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may elect to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which other funds or portfolios advised by TAM have established a commission recapture program. A commission recapture program is any arrangement under which a broker/dealer applies a portion of the commissions received by such broker/dealer on the security transactions to the Funds. In no event will commissions, paid by the Funds, be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds or portfolios advised by TAM, or by any other party.

There were no commissions recaptured during the year ended October 31, 2019 by the Funds.

Cash overdraft: The Funds may have cash overdraft balances. A fee is incurred on these overdrafts, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the Federal Funds Rate.

Payables, if any, are reflected as Due to custodian within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Expenses, if any, from U.S. cash overdrafts are reflected in Custody fees within the Statements of Operations. Expenses, if any, from foreign cash overdrafts are reflected in Other expenses within the Statements of Operations.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that 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 and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

3. SECURITY VALUATION

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2019

 

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include the Funds’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative instruments.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, using the “practical expedient” have not been classified in the fair value Levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments at October 31, 2019, is disclosed within the Security Valuation section of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is generally greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the determination of values may differ significantly from values that would have been realized had a ready market for investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Fair value measurements: Descriptions of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ significant categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Investment companies: Certain investment companies are valued at the NAV of the underlying Funds as the practical expedient. These investment companies are not included within the fair value hierarchy. Certain other investment companies are valued at the actively traded NAV of the underlying funds and no valuation adjustments are applied. These investment companies are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted securities: Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value. Restricted securities issued by publicly traded companies are generally valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities. Restricted securities issued by nonpublic entities may be valued by reference to comparable public entities and/or fundamental data relating to the issuer. Depending on the relative significance of observable valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative instruments: Centrally cleared or listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contracts include forward, swap, swaption, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products are modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case of interest rate swap and option contracts. The majority of OTC derivative products valued by the Funds using pricing models fall into this category and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in unregulated restricted securities. Restricted securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

Restricted securities held at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Funds may engage in borrowing transactions as a means of raising cash to satisfy redemption requests, for other temporary or emergency purposes or, to the extent permitted by their investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested in other securities or instruments. When the Funds invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Funds will bear the risk that the market value of the securities in which such proceeds are invested goes down and is insufficient to repay the borrowed proceeds. The Funds may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Funds enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Funds’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the Funds’ total assets, minus liabilities other than borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all borrowings. Although complying with this requirement has the effect of limiting the amount that the Funds may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

Interfund lending: The Funds, along with other funds and portfolios advised by TAM, may participate in an interfund lending program pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2017. This program allows the Funds to lend to and borrow from other funds and portfolios advised by TAM. Interfund lending transactions are subject to the conditions of the exemptive relief which place limits on the amount of lending or borrowing a Fund may participate in under the program. Interest earned or paid on an interfund lending transaction will be based on the average of certain current market rates. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds have not utilized the program.

Repurchase agreements: In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security and simultaneously commit to resell that security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Securities purchased subject to a repurchase agreement are held at the Funds’ custodian, or designated sub-custodian related to tri-party repurchase agreements, and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must be collateralized by securities with an aggregate market value greater than or equal to 100% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the securities can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the securities. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented within the Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected within the Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2019.

Repurchase agreements at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds’ investment objectives allow the Funds to use various types of derivative contracts, including option contracts, swap agreements, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of the Funds’ investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to certain market risks, including:

Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of fixed income securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.

Foreign exchange rate risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in the currency exchange rates.

Equity risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Credit risk: Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Funds.

Commodity risk: Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indices as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to sell or close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligations to the Funds. Investing in derivatives may also involve greater risks than investing directly in the underlying assets, such as losses in excess of any initial investment and collateral received. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

The Funds’ exposure to market risk factors and certain other associated risks are summarized by derivative type as follows:

Futures contracts: The Funds are subject to equity and commodity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities and commodities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or in securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid or received by the Funds, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds bear the risk of equity and commodity prices, interest rates, or exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize losses. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Open futures contracts at October 31, 2019, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments. Variation margin, if applicable, is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following is a summary of the location and each Fund’s fair values of derivative investments disclosed, if any, within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by primary market risk exposure as of October 31, 2019. Funds not listed in the subsequent tables do not have direct exposure to derivative investments during the year.

7. FEES AND OTHER AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

Distribution and service fees: The Trust has a distribution plan (“Distribution Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Trust entered into a distribution agreement with TCI as the Funds’ distributor.

The Distribution Plan requires the Funds to pay distribution fees to TCI as compensation for various distribution activities, not as reimbursement for specific expenses. Under the Distribution Plan and distribution agreement, TCI, on behalf of the Funds, is authorized to pay various service providers, as direct payment for expenses incurred in connection with distribution of the Funds shares. The distribution and service fees are included in Distribution and service fees within the Statements of Operations.

Each Fund is authorized under the Distribution Plan to pay fees to TCI based on daily ANA of each class up to the following annual rates:

 

Class (A)    Rate  

Class A

     0.25

Class C

     1.00  

Class R

     0.50  

Class R4

     0.25  

 

(A) 

12b-1 fees are not applicable for Class I and Class R6.

Shareholder fees: Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge, and a contingent deferred sales charge on certain share redemptions. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. For the year ended October 31, 2019, underwriter commissions received by TCI from the various sales charges are as follows.

Deferred compensation plan: Under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan effective January 1, 1996, (as amended and restated January 1, 2010), available to the trustees, compensation may be deferred that would otherwise be payable by the Trust to an independent trustee on a current basis for services rendered as trustee. Deferred compensation amounts will accumulate based on the value of the investment option, as elected by the trustee. Balances pursuant to deferred compensation plan are recorded in Trustees, Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2019, amounts included in Trustees, CCO and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Operations reflect total compensation paid to the independent Board members.

9. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Funds have not made any provision 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. The Funds’ tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities three years from the date of filing for federal purposes and four years from the date of filing for state purposes. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in relation to interest and penalties expense in Other within the Statements of Operations. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; 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.

Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, mark-to-market on futures contracts, and liquidating trust basis adjustments. 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 reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. The primary permanent differences are due to liquidating trust basis adjustments, non-real estate investment trust return of capital adjustments, and distribution re-designations. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. There are no reclassifications in the current year.

As of October 31, 2019, the approximate cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the aggregate gross/net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the value of investments (including securities sold short and derivatives, if any) are as follows:

10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820: Disclosure Framework), Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not eliminate the requirement to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, or the reporting of changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated and has early adopted the disclosure requirements and the impact is reflected within the Funds’ financial statements.

12. CUSTODY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

In December 2015, State Street, the Funds’ custodian, identified inconsistencies in the way in which clients were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed out-of-pocket costs, during an 18-year period going back to 1998. The issue was the result of inaccurate billing rates that were not subsequently reviewed or adjusted. The amount of the difference in what was charged and what should have been charged, plus interest, was paid back to the Funds in September 2016 as a reimbursement. The amounts applicable to each Fund, if any, were recognized as a change in accounting estimate and are reflected as a reimbursement of custody fees. This resulted in a decrease in net expenses and an overall increase in net assets. Please reference the Financial Highlights for additional information in regards to the per share impact.

13. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 27, 2018, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (“AUIM”) and Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that resolved an investigation into asset allocation models and volatility overlays utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to certain Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds, and related disclosures. TAM and TCI serve as investment manager and principal underwriter, respectively, to Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds. TCI also serves as the principal underwriter to the variable life insurance and annuity products through which certain Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds are offered. AUIM, an affiliate of TAM and TCI, serves as sub-adviser to a number of Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds.

The SEC’s order instituting administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings (the “Order”) pertains to events that occurred during the period between July 2011 and June 2015, and, among other things, the operation and/or implementation of an asset allocation model utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to certain Transamerica tactical funds and asset allocation funds, the designation of the portfolio manager for certain of these funds as well as the operation and/or implementation of volatility overlays utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to the asset allocation funds. The Order also states that the parties failed to make appropriate disclosures regarding these matters, including in marketing materials, and failed to have adequate compliance policies and procedures. AUIM ceased to serve as sub-adviser to the Transamerica tactical funds on April 30, 2015 and to the Transamerica asset allocation funds on June 30, 2015.

Under the terms of the Order, AUIM, TAM and TCI were censured, and agreed, without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain statutory provisions and SEC rules. AUIM agreed to pay civil penalties of $21,000,000, $24,599,896 in disgorgement and $3,682,195 in prejudgment interest. TAM agreed to pay civil penalties of $10,500,000, $15,000,000 in disgorgement and $2,235,765 in prejudgment interest. TCI agreed to pay civil penalties of $4,000,000, $12,000,000 in disgorgement and $1,826,022 in prejudgment interest. The amounts paid in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties have been deposited into a Fair Fund for distribution to affected investors. Affected investors are those who purchased or held the relevant mutual funds, variable life insurance and annuity investment portfolios and separately managed account strategies during the period between July 2011 and June 2015.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TRANSAMERICA FUNDS

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on June 19-20, 2019, the Board considered the renewal of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Transamerica Funds, on behalf of each of the following funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”):

 

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio

   Transamerica Asset Allocation Intermediate Horizon

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio

   Transamerica Asset Allocation Long Horizon

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio

   Transamerica Asset Allocation Short Horizon

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio

   Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio

For the Funds listed in the left column below, the Board also considered the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreements (each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and collectively the “Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between TAM and the corresponding sub-adviser listed in the right column below (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively the “Sub-Advisers”).

 

Fund    Sub-Adviser

   Morningstar Investment Management LLC

   Morningstar Investment Management LLC

Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio

   Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2020.

Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Fund, and knowledge they gained over time through meeting with TAM and each Sub-Adviser. Among other materials, the Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser. In their review, the Trustees also sought to identify Funds for which the performance, fees, total expenses and/or profitability appeared to be outliers within their respective peer groups or other comparative metrics, and sought to understand the reasons for such comparative positions.

In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met privately without representatives of TAM or any Sub-Adviser present and were represented throughout the process by their independent legal counsel. In considering the proposed continuation of each of the Agreements, the Trustees evaluated and weighed a number of considerations that they believed to be relevant in light of the legal advice furnished to them by counsel, including independent legal counsel, and made a decision in the exercise of their own business judgment. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any particular consideration or item of information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by TAM and each Sub-Adviser to the applicable Fund in the past and the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board also considered the investment approach for each Fund; the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management; the financial resources of TAM; TAM’s management oversight process; TAM’s and each Sub-Adviser’s responsiveness to any questions by the Trustees; and the professional qualifications and compensation program of the portfolio management team of each Sub-Adviser. The Trustees noted that they receive, on a quarterly basis, an execution analysis from Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (CAPIS), an independent provider of trade analyses, for each applicable Sub-Adviser and a comparison of trading results against a peer universe of managers.

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM, when acting as a manager of managers, for the portion of the management fee it retains from each Fund after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

(unaudited)

 

Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Fund and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Funds; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Funds; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Funds’ prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; and ongoing cash management services for the Funds. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to each Fund. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Funds, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder service functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Broadridge, and (ii) the Fund’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2018. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that TAM and each Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the applicable Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. The Board’s conclusions as to performance are summarized below. In describing a Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize performance for the relevant periods in relation to whether it was “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, performance is described as “above” the median if a Fund’s performance ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise return was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median return).

When considering each Fund’s performance, the Trustees considered any representations made by TAM regarding the appropriateness of certain peer groups and benchmarks. They recognized that performance reflects a snapshot of a period as of a specific date, and that consideration of performance data for a different period could generate significantly different performance results. The Trustees also recognized that even longer-term performance can be negatively affected by performance over a short-term period when that short-term performance is significantly below the performance of the comparable benchmark or universe of peer funds.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 3- and 5-year periods and in line with the median for the past 1-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above its primary benchmark for the past 1-year period and below its primary benchmark for the past 3- and 5-year periods.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 5-year period and below the median for the past 1- and 3-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was below its primary benchmark and a composite benchmark used for comparison purposes for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was in line with the median for its peer universe for the past 5-year period and below the median for the past 1- and 3-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was below its primary benchmark and a composite benchmark used for comparison purposes for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was in line with the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was below its primary benchmark and a composite benchmark used for comparison purposes for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods.

Transamerica Asset Allocation Intermediate Horizon. The Board noted that the performance of Class R4 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-year period, in line with the median for the past 5- and 10-year periods and below the

median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R4 Shares of the Fund was below its composite benchmark for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Trustees noted that the Fund had acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of four Transamerica Partners funds on May 19, 2017. As a result of that transaction, and based on published guidance from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund had assumed the performance history of the performance survivor, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon, effective as of that date in place of its own historical performance record. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during the first quarter of 2019.

Transamerica Asset Allocation Long Horizon. The Board noted that the performance of Class R4 Shares of the Fund was in line with the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 5- and 10-year periods and below the median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R4 Shares of the Fund was below its composite benchmark for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Trustees noted that the Fund had acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of four Transamerica Partners funds on May 19, 2017. As a result of that transaction, and based on published guidance from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund had assumed the performance history of the performance survivor, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Long Horizon, effective as of that date in place of its own historical performance record. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during the first quarter of 2019.

Transamerica Asset Allocation Short Horizon. The Board noted that the performance of Class R4 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 3-, 5- and 10-year periods and below the median for the past 1-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R4 Shares of the Fund was above its composite benchmark for the past 10-year period and below its composite benchmark for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Trustees noted that the Fund had acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of two Transamerica Partners funds on May 19, 2017. As a result of that transaction, and based on published guidance from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund had assumed the performance history of the performance survivor, Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation – Short Horizon, effective as of that date in place of its own historical performance record. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during the first quarter of 2019.

Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was in line with the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 3-year periods and below the median for the past 5-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was below its primary benchmark for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s Sub-Adviser had commenced subadvising the Fund on July 7, 2017 pursuant to its current investment strategies. The Trustees also noted recent changes in the portfolio management team at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. The Trustees noted that TAM intends to monitor and report to the Board on the portfolio manager transition and performance going forward. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during the first quarter of 2019.

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund, including information provided by Broadridge comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund to the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Broadridge. The Board’s conclusions as to management fees and total expense ratios are summarized below. In describing a Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio relative to its peer group and peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize management fees and total expense ratios for the relevant periods in relation to whether they were “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer group or peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, management fees and total expense ratios are described as “above” the median if a Fund’s management fee or total expense ratio ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise management fee or total expense ratio was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median management fee or total expense ratio).

The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services, as well as the portion of a Fund’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee and how the portion of the contractual management fee retained by TAM at a specified asset level compared to the portions retained by other investment advisers managing mutual funds with similar investment strategies as calculated by an independent provider of information.

Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I Shares of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Asset Allocation Intermediate Horizon. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R4 Shares of the Fund were below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Asset Allocation Long Horizon. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R4 Shares of the Fund were below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe.

Transamerica Asset Allocation Short Horizon. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R4 Shares of the Fund were above the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Portfolio. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was below the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I Shares of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the management and sub-advisory fees to be received by TAM and the Sub-Advisers under the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

The Board reviewed information provided by TAM about the cost of providing and procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration, transfer agency and other services, to each Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Fund and Transamerica Funds as a whole. The Trustees recognized the competitiveness of the mutual fund industry and the importance of an investment adviser’s long-term profitability, including for maintaining company and management stability and accountability.

The Board also considered the allocation methodology used for calculating the profitability of TAM and its affiliates. The Board noted that the revenue and expense allocation methodology used by TAM to estimate its profitability with respect to its relationship with the Funds had been reviewed previously by an independent consultant. The Trustees considered that TAM reported that it had not made material changes to this methodology, and that the methodology had been applied consistently for each Fund.

TRANSAMERICA FUNDS

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

(unaudited)

 

With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and the applicable Sub-Adviser, which is not affiliated with TAM, and are paid by TAM and not the applicable Fund. As a result, the Board focused on the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to the applicable Fund.

Based on this information, the Board determined that the profitability of TAM and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds was not excessive.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether the Fund had appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there was the potential for realization of any future economies of scale. The Board also considered the existence of economies of scale with respect to management of the Transamerica mutual funds overall and the extent to which the Funds benefited from any economies of scale. The Board recognized that, as a Fund’s assets increase, any economies of scale realized by TAM or a Sub-Adviser may not directly correlate with each other or with any economies of scale that might be realized by the Fund. The Board considered each Fund’s management fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and also considered the extent to which TAM shared economies of scale, if any, with the Funds through undertakings to limit or reimburse Fund expenses and to invest in maintaining and developing its capabilities and services. The Board also considered each Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and how such breakpoints relate to any breakpoints in the applicable Fund’s management fee schedule. The Board considered that certain Funds’ sub-advisory fees would be based on the combined assets of multiple funds. The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s fee structure reflected an appropriate sharing of any efficiencies or economies of scale to date and noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the management fees payable to TAM and the fees paid to the Sub-Advisers in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.

Benefits to TAM, its Affiliates and the Sub-Advisers from their Relationships with the Funds

The Board considered other benefits derived by TAM, its affiliates, and/or the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Funds. The Board noted that TAM does not receive benefits from research obtained with commissions paid to broker-dealers for portfolio transactions (“soft dollars”) as a result of its relationships with the Funds.

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment and undertaken certain business risks with respect to the management and success of the Funds.

Conclusion

After consideration of the factors described above, as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the renewal of the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders and voted to approve the renewal of the Agreements.

The members of the Board (“Board Members”) and executive officers of the Trust are listed below.

Interested Board Member means a board member who may be deemed an “interested person” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust because of his current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM. Interested Board Members may also be referred to herein as “Interested Trustees.” Independent Board Member means a Board Member who is not an “interested person” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Trust and may also be referred to herein as an “Independent Trustee.”

The Board governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of the shareholders. The Board Members are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the business affairs of each fund and the operation of each fund by its officers. The Board also reviews the management of each fund’s assets by the investment manager and its respective sub-adviser.

The funds are among the funds managed and sponsored by TAM (collectively, “Transamerica Fund Family”). The Transamerica Fund Family consists of (i) Transamerica Funds (“TF”); (ii) Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”); (iii) Transamerica ETF Trust (“TET”); and (iv) Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (“TAAVF”). The Transamerica Fund Family consists of 133 funds as of the date of this Annual Report. With the exception of Mr. Smit, none of the Board Members serve on the board of trustees of TET. TET is overseen by a separate board of trustees.

The mailing address of each Board Member is c/o Secretary, 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, Colorado 80202.

Further information about the Fund’s Directors and Officers is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained without charge by calling 1-888-233-4339 or visiting the Fund’s website at www.transamerica.com.

The Board Members, their age, their positions with the Trust, and their principal occupations for the past five years (their titles may have varied during that period), the number of funds in the Transamerica Fund Family the Board oversees, and other board memberships they hold are set forth in the table below.

TRANSAMERICA FUNDS

 

ANNUAL REPORT

 

 

OCTOBER 31, 2019

 

 

 

LOGO

Beginning January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds intend to no longer mail paper copies of the funds’ shareholder reports, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from a fund or your financial intermediary (such as broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be made available on a website and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically (“e-delivery”), you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from a fund electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you are a direct shareholder with a fund, by calling 1-888-233-4339.

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports where a fund is held through that intermediary. If you are a direct shareholder with a fund, you can call 1-888-233-4339 to let the fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. That election will apply to all Transamerica funds held directly with the fund complex.

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2019


Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of Transamerica Funds, I 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 professional in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Fund(s) during the fiscal year. The Securities and Exchange Commission currently requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides detailed information about your Fund(s) for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last fiscal year to provide a context for reading this report. As the period began, domestic and international markets were in the beginning phase of a fourth quarter decline which would eventually take the S&P 500® down almost 20% from its previous record high. Investor anxiety was primarily driven by two dynamics creating high levels of uncertainty as the year was concluding. These dynamics were Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy and the ongoing trade dispute with China.

Selling accelerated into year-end as the Fed implemented its fourth rate hike of the year and ninth since its tightening cycle had begun three years earlier. This played into developing market fears that the Fed was on the verge of a major policy error, of raising rates into a slowing economy. Parallel to concerns with the Fed, the market also grappled with deteriorating trade relations with China and the prospect of additional U.S. imposed tariffs. Together, these two concerns sent stocks sliding as the market experienced its worst month of December in more than eighty-five years. Unlike the equity markets, however, the December strains also garnered a flight to quality in U.S. Treasury bonds and a large downward move in the 10-year Treasury yield which fell by over a half a percent, from 3.24% on November 8th to 2.69% by the end of 2018.

As the calendar turned to 2019, the Fed quickly changed its perspective to one of patience, and it became clear to the market that no further rate hikes were likely in the immediate future. In May, markets were surprised to hear that a trade deal with China would not come to fruition as expected, and a new round of tariffs went into effect. This jolted stocks to some extent, however, the Fed acted quickly, first by signaling in June that it was ready to reverse course and begin reducing rates starting with a rate cut of 0.25% at the July meeting. As trade uncertainty with China continued and the rhetoric escalated, the Fed cut rates twice more in September and October, negating three of the four hikes from the year past. During the summer, investors also witnessed the inversion of the yield curve, as long-term Treasury rates fell below short-term rates, stoking recession fears. However, by late October, after the Fed had enacted its third rate cut of the year, long-term rates rose, and the yield curve moved back into a traditional upward slope.

In the credit markets, investment grade and high yield bonds began 2019 with elongated credit spreads as a result of the economic fears created from the Fed’s tightening activity toward the end of 2018 and the potential impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy. As both those fears thawed throughout the year, credit spreads narrowed, market fundamentals remained strong and corporate bonds posted strong returns throughout the first half of the year. International developed and emerging markets equities also recovered well during this time.

As the autumn months began, investors could also recognize the continued strength in the economy. The unemployment rate continued close to the lowest level in a half century, wages continued to grow, inflation remained benign and consumer spending progressed on a strong path. In this environment, lower rates also helped equity valuations as the market looked forward to higher earnings growth in 2020.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index returned 14.33% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, returned 11.63%. During the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%. Please keep in mind that 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 professional is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial professionals are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your professional, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline and your risk tolerance.

Please contact your financial professional if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.

Sincerely,

Disclosure of Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses.

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 May 1, 2019, and held for the entire six-month period until October 31, 2019.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The information in the table below 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), 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. If your account is an IRA, your expenses may have included an additional annual fee. The amount of any fee paid during the six-month period can decrease your ending account value.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The information in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. 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. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries, or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 began with the prospects of healthy but moderating economic activity and global trade tensions that could potentially derail it. As consumption, fixed investments and government spending growth slowed, so did year-over-year gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. Lower expectations prevailed throughout the year while any lingering optimism was reduced by a tumultuous geopolitical environment. As trade wars between the U.S. and China, and Japan and South Korea intensified, so did their impact on underlying economies.

Risks around trade policy were a concern for the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), which lowered 2019 GDP projections in December. Still, they stayed the course in normalizing rates given continued economic strength, and hiked rates once more in December of 2018. As a result, market expectations on Fed action soured, pricing in no further hike for the entirety of 2019 as a jolt of volatility overtook risk assets. The Fed’s more dovish tone and concerns over an inverted yield curve were top of mind for investors at the start of calendar year 2019. After cutting rates by 25 basis points in July and September, softening economic data and continued below-target inflation gave the green light to the Fed to trim its federal funds rate a quarter of a point at its October meeting.

Despite a rough start and volatility throughout the year, the credit markets performed well, both on a total and excess return basis. U.S. equities and high yield bonds posted their largest quarterly losses at the beginning of the fiscal year, which, when combined with higher volatility, depressed risk-return profiles for the quarter. Losses for investment grade bonds were more muted. As volatility normalized and financial conditions eased, risk assets, led by U.S. equities and high yield bonds, posted positive results in the second quarter. During the third quarter, risk assets and Treasuries posted positive results, led by U.S. equities and investment grade bonds. U.S. risk assets have broadly gained so far in the fourth quarter, led by investment grade bonds and Treasuries. October was risk-on with equities delivering positive returns in the U.S. Investment grade, high yield, and Treasuries also posted modest gains for the month.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.

At the beginning of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, in November of 2018, U.S. equity markets were up 2.04%, a step upward after the October 2018 sell-off. Intermittent volatility still roiled markets, with questions abounding on the U.S./China trade narrative and whether we have reached peak corporate earnings. Trade tensions briefly eased following the G-20 Summit, where President Trump and China’s President Xi agreed to a short-term truce. The market ended the month of December down -9.03%, correcting again after the decline seen in October. Episodic volatility continued to shake the market, with fears surrounding trade, overextended corporate earnings, and declining global purchasing manager’s indexes (“PMIs”) raising concerns. Despite periodic market shocks, many market and economic indicators still leaned positive, including consumer and small business confidence, wages, and same store retail sales.

The market bounced back in the first quarter of 2019, making up for losses experienced at the end of 2018. After 2018’s large S&P 500® Index price-to-earnings (“P/E”) multiple contraction, from over 18x at the year’s onset to 14x by the year’s end, a considerable amount of risk and uncertainty became priced into the market. While consensus remains that the Fed may keep rates steady, alleviating some recessionary fears, volatility escalated in May with increased tensions surrounding tariffs between the U.S. and China, in addition to proposed U.S. tariffs on Mexico. Investors took risk off the table given new developments in the trade narrative and signs of slower economic growth globally, despite a still generally constructive earnings backdrop in the U.S. Driven mostly by increased hopes of a trade deal between the U.S. and China at the G20 summit, the strong performance in equities provided both relief and hope to investors who piled back into the market and drove the S&P 500® Index to fresh highs during June. Markets moved higher in July, with signs of easing global monetary policy, continuing strength in corporate earnings, and abating trade tensions. Market gains were lost come August, however, with the Fed’s move to cut rates, together with President Trump’s surprise tariff proposal, leading to risk-off sentiment. The market again rebounded in September, accompanied by a dramatic rotation from growth stocks into value stocks.

The market moved higher in October on the heels of September’s rally, with corporate earnings and consumer strength driving the advance. Corporate profits have been solid this third quarter earnings season, with 70% of S&P 500® companies beating bottom-line estimates as of the date of this report. The unemployment rate has remained at record lows, which has helped to sustain high consumer confidence. While trade remains a concern, negotiations have been more constructive lately, with a “Phase One” deal outlined in mid-October. The Fed also showed a more accommodative stance by cutting the federal funds rate by 25 basis points at its latest meeting in October.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Balanced II (Class R) returned 12.79%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® Index and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, returned 14.33% and 11.51%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

Over the past year, we continued to remain overweight spread-based assets relative to the benchmark given our views on expected risk-adjusted returns. Securitized credit remained a favored investment opportunity given our solid fundamental outlook and robust structural protections offered by many deals. Within corporate credit, we continued to prefer financials due to strong capital positions and lower expected event risk. Over the year, we became more biased towards shorter-dated credit given what we see as its attractive risk-adjusted return profile compared to longer maturity bonds.

One year relative performance for the portfolio was driven by the overweight to spread-based assets as both carry and spread effects contributed positively to relative returns. Yield curve effects were a detractor given a slightly shorter duration positioning compared to the benchmark as rates fell across the curve over the time period.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

At an asset class level, the portfolio’s allocation to longer duration Treasury securities compared to the benchmark contributed positively to relative returns, as did the portfolio’s underweight allocation to agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and overweight allocation to investment grade corporates. These positives were partially offset by poor security selection in agency RMBS and investment grade corporate credit. An overweight allocation to shorter duration commercial mortgage-backed securities also detracted from returns.

Within corporate credit, allocations to communications and transportation contributed positively to relative returns. Security selection with communications, transportation and real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) were detractors.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.

The industrial cyclical, technology and utilities sectors contributed to performance, while the financials, basic materials and media sectors detracted from performance.

Within the retail space, an overweight in AutoZone, Inc. contributed to performance. The company demonstrated solid execution against a healthy industry backdrop as it posted solid margins and continued to make progress in the commercial do-it-for-me market. We have remained positive on the stock as we believe that in addition to industry tailwinds, AutoZone, Inc. can continue to grow and consolidate market share. Within technology, our overweight in Microsoft Corp. helped performance as the stock outperformed the market due to strong fundamentals across all segments. Commercial cloud growth drove strong earnings in 2019 and the company increased their revenue guide. We think the company is well positioned for the transition to the cloud with Azure and Office 365. We thus remain positive on the stock. Within pharma/medical technology, an underweight in AbbVie, Inc. boosted returns as the stock underperformed the broader sector. AbbVie, Inc. struggled amid further scrutiny on their Humira business, as the introduction of biosimilars has hurt sales in Europe even more than expected. We remain comfortable in our underweight given these persistent concerns.

Within energy, an overweight in EOG Resources, Inc. weighed on returns. Sector-wide operational fears surrounding Concho Resources’ well spacing test, which indicated well spacing was too tight, drove the stock down. Investors’ bearish outlook on oil prices further hurt the stock. However, we remain positive on EOG Resources, Inc. as a diversified U.S. shale producer with key assets in areas such as the Permian basin. Within retail our overweight in PVH Corp. weighed on returns as a result of higher tax rates and ongoing tensions in Hong Kong and the U.S.-China trade war. There has been some investor concern around the brand’s relevance as well. However, we maintain our overweight as we believe the company’s brands are durable and that PVH Corp. should be a share gainer in the industry given its ability to expand margins and allocate capital toward accretive acquisitions. Within media, our underweight in Facebook, Inc. – Class A hurt performance. Strong quarterly results throughout the year, largely due to engagement holding up better than expected, drove the stock higher. Advertisers have remained unable to diversify away from Facebook, Inc. – Class A because of the superior return on investment it provides. However, we believe revenue growth may continue to moderate, and margins may keep coming down. Given our view that regulatory and mix-shift risks still remain, we are comfortable in our position.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions added to performance.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Fund calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the Fund, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of the fund will decline. Fixed income securities have several risks including fluctuations in market value, changes in interest rates as the values will decrease as interest rates rise, and issuers defaulting on their obligations to pay interest or return principal.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 began with the prospects of healthy but moderating economic activity and global trade tensions that could potentially derail it. As consumption, fixed investments and government spending growth slowed, so did year-over-year gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. Lower expectations prevailed throughout the year while any lingering optimism was reduced by a tumultuous geopolitical environment. As trade wars between the U.S. and China, and Japan and South Korea intensified, so did their impact on underlying economies.

Risks around trade policy were a concern for the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), which lowered 2019 GDP projections in December. Still, they stayed the course in normalizing rates given continued economic strength, and hiked rates once more in December of 2018. As a result, market expectations on Fed action soured, pricing in no further hike for the entirety of 2019 as a jolt of volatility overtook risk assets. The Fed’s more dovish tone and concerns over an inverted yield curve were top of mind for investors at the start of calendar year 2019. After cutting rates by 25 basis points in July and September, softening economic data and continued below-target inflation gave the green light to the Fed to trim its federal funds rate a quarter of a point at its October meeting.

Despite a rough start and volatility throughout the year, the credit markets performed well, both on a total and excess return basis. U.S. equities and high yield bonds posted their largest quarterly losses at the beginning of the fiscal year, which, when combined with higher volatility, depressed risk-return profiles for the quarter. Losses for investment grade bonds were more muted. As volatility normalized and financial conditions eased, risk assets, led by U.S. equities and high yield bonds, posted positive results in the second quarter. During the third quarter, risk assets and Treasuries posted positive results, led by U.S. equities and investment grade bonds. U.S. risk assets have broadly gained so far in the fourth quarter, led by investment grade bonds and Treasuries. October was risk-on with equities delivering positive returns in the U.S. Investment grade, high yield, and Treasuries also posted modest gains for the month.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Bond (Class A) returned 9.00%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, returned 11.51%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Duration increased in the portfolio over the last year as our views on the interest rate environment evolved on macroeconomic developments. Although the duration gap relative to the benchmark narrowed over the year, we remained underweight duration during the period, which negatively impacted active returns as rates rallied across the curve.

We continued to favor exposure to spread-based assets over the year. While this positoning was a detractor overall, excess coupon contributed postively, particularly from high yield corporate credit, investment grade corporate credit, and securitized assets. However, this positive carry was completely offset by the spread volatility and interest rate effects during the period.

At an asset class level, the portfolio’s allocation to longer duration Treasury securities versus the benchmark was the largest positive contributor to returns, while the portfolio’s underweight allocation to agency residential mortgage-backed securities also contributed. These positives were offset by the portfolio’s overweight to shorter duration asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities.

Security selection within corporate credit, specifically investment grade, detracted from returns. While sector allocations to communications, wireless and consumer transports contributed positively to relative returns, security selection was negative in each. This led to an overall negative contribution to returns from corporate credit.

Duration †

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Interest rates may go up, causing the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers and the creditworthiness of the issuers may significantly affect the value of a bond. Investing in bond funds entails interest rate and credit risk as well as additional risks such as high-yield/high-risk bonds and is subject to greater levels of liquidity risk. These risks are described in more detail in the prospectus.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Large cap growth stocks advanced over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, with real estate and materials as the best performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Energy was the only sector to post a decline and hence was the greatest relative underperformer. Against this backdrop, our team continued to focus on bottom-up stock selection and the long-term outlook for companies owned in the portfolio.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Capital Growth (Class A) returned 5.40%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 17.10%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its benchmark over this period due to unfavorable stock selection and sector allocation decisions.

Communication services was by far the greatest detractor in the Fund, due to unfavorable stock selection. Video game publisher Activision Blizzard, Inc. (no longer held in the Fund) was the poorest performer in the sector and the third greatest detractor in the portfolio. Concerns about the pace of new gaming content releases weighed on investor sentiment, as did a weaker than expected outlook.

Covetrus, an animal health technology and services company, was the poorest performer in healthcare and the second greatest detractor in the portfolio. Covetrus is the result of the recent combination of Vets First Choice, a leading online pharmacy platform used by veterinarians, and the animal health distribution business of Henry Schein. Covetrus shares declined due to disappointing results, resulting from weaker than expected demand in its animal health distribution business and greater investment spending related to the integration of the two businesses. Within healthcare the weakness in Covetrus and a diverse set of other holdings was partly offset by strength in Veeva Systems, Inc., Class – A (“Veeva”), a company which offers cloud-based sales software solutions to life sciences companies. Veeva was the top contributor in the portfolio during the period. The company has been executing well and seeing particular strength in its Vault product, which provides content and data management applications to aid research and development functions. Veeva is also looking to expand into other verticals outside of life sciences, and this has supported overall positive market sentiment.

Information technology was the top contributing sector in the portfolio, due to strong stock selection and an average sector underweight position. Several of the portfolio’s holdings in the software-as-a-service area were among the portfolio’s top contributors, including Workday, Inc., Class – A, which was the third largest contributor across the portfolio. Software-as-a-service providers have benefited from a generally strong demand environment, as enterprises continue to embark on digital transformation projects and employ cloud-based solutions to modernize their software and technology infrastructure, improve efficiency, enhance agility in responding to new business opportunities, and harness data to make more informed business decisions. Shopify, Inc., Class – A, which provides a cloud-based multi-channel commerce platform largely to small and medium sized retailers and manufacturers, also contributed, due to strong fundamentals; the company has experienced strong gross merchandise value growth and continued progress in adding additional merchants to its platform. Within Information Technology, the strength in these holdings was partly offset by weakness in Slack Technologies, Inc., Class – A (“Slack”), which was the top detractor in the portfolio. Slack is a leading provider of cloud-based collaboration software and a company that came public in June through a direct listing. Its shares were weak in spite of solid reported results. Despite ongoing concerns about competition from other large incumbent players, Slack’s results indicated that its offering has gained significant traction with large enterprise customers.

As of October 31, 2019, the portfolio has a small derivatives investment in the form of, over-the-counter puts on the Chinese Yuan. These puts are designed to provide a potential hedge to equities in the Fund that are exposed, directly or indirectly, to China.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

(B) Not annualized.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with return on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Valuation matters, especially over the long run, and value stocks tend to outperform their growth counterparts over very long periods. The past fiscal year continued a trend that is now a decade old as growth benchmarks outperformed value yet again. However, there were some signs later that could signal a change in favor of value as technology stock returns moderated and were no longer leading the market as we ended the fiscal year. Instead, the best performing were more defensive sectors, such as real estate and utilities. Lagging sectors included energy, over concerns of slowing global growth, and health care, over concerns of political and regulatory changes.

While timing inflection points in style dominance is very difficult, we do know that valuation matters; and when valuation disparities in favor of value stocks become as extreme as they were at period end, confidence grows in the theory that when a sustained value cycle comes, it has the makings of a long and profitable one.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Dividend Focused (Class A) returned 8.43%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 11.21%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We stay fully invested with a conservative orientation based on our belief that superior returns can be achieved while taking below average risks. We construct portfolios that reflect all three value characteristics: price/earnings and price/book ratios below the market and dividend yields above the market (S&P 500®). In addition, the strategy requires that stocks purchased not only pay a dividend, but also that each stock has a consecutive 25-year history of paying cash dividends. While we are exacting in our definition of value, we are equally demanding in our pursuit of quality. We seek companies with profitability and earnings growth greater than the market.

Transamerica Dividend Focused underperformed its value benchmark for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. Stock selection and an underweight in consumer staples were the largest relative detractors. Few technology stocks meet the 25-year dividend paying history requirement; therefore, our underweight and holding, relative to the benchmark, in information technology stocks hurt performance as did stock selection within financials and health care. The five largest detractors from performance for the period were: Schlumberger, Ltd., EOG Resources, Inc., State Street, Altria Group, Inc. and Philip Morris International, Inc. The Fund’s holdings in State Street, Altria and Philip Morris were all sold during the period.

Our consumer discretionary holdings were the largest contributors to relative performance. Holdings and overweights in industrials and utilities also aided performance. The top five contributing stocks were Entergy Corp., Target Corp., HCP, Inc., Johnson Controls International PLC and Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. Target Corp. was sold during the period.

(A) The Russell 1000® Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of Russell 1000® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Focused funds are less diversified than other mutual funds; therefore, the performance of each holding in a focused fund has a greater impact upon the overall portfolio, which increases the risks associated with investing in the Fund. Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock considered undervalued is actually appropriately priced. ADRs involve the same risk as foreign securities including currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Dividend income may vary depending on market performance and is not guaranteed. A company’s future ability to pay dividends may be limited.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the past year, global fixed income and global equity markets rallied. Within fixed income markets, for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Barcalys US Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, returning 9.54%. Fixed income was supported by the dovish activity by global central banks. In the U.S., the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) cut interest rates by 25 basis points three times since July. In August, the U.S. 2 year-10 year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade and the 30-year Treasury yield dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bank announced additional stimulus in September and reduced the deposit rate.

Within the U.S., large cap stocks strongly outperformed small cap stocks, with the S&P 500® Index returning 14.33% versus 4.90% for the Russell 2000® Index. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, where the S&P 500® Index returned 13.65%. Abroad, emerging markets outperformed developed, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index.

Crude oil declined over the past year and was largely driven by the last two months of 2018. During that period, market concerns around over-supply spiked. Crude oil rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 due to tighter global supply conditions. This was driven by the U.S. reducing its drilling, Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and Saudi Arabia affirming their commitment to cutting oil output.

Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout the past year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Dynamic Allocation (Class A) returned 6.57%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 3000® Index and the Transamerica Dynamic Allocation Blended Benchmark, returned 13.49%, and 11.99%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund invests primarily in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) that are designed to track various equity and fixed income indices. In addition, we use a combination of two risk management strategies that are designed to protect the Fund from experiencing significant losses in the event of a major decline in asset values, while allowing it to participate during trending bull markets. In sideways or fluctuating markets, the strategy tends to underperform.

One of these risk management strategies, Dynamic Risk Management, involves systematically raising the allocation to cash in response to rising volatility and declines in the value of the Fund’s net asset value. This strategy seeks to protect the investor from extended and severe market drawdowns.

The other strategy, Event Risk Management, involves the continuous use of put options on the S&P 500® Index to provide additional protection against sudden market declines. This strategy tends to help relative performance in periods when the stock market is falling (since put options tend to rise in price when the underlying index is falling), but detracts from relative performance when the stock market is flat or rising.

Relative to its benchmarks, the Fund underperformed for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. All six of the Fund’s ETF holdings posted positive returns. The primary relative detractor was the iShares Russell 1000 Values ETF. The primary contributor was the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF.

(E) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

(F) The MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index captures large and mid-cap representation across developed and emerging markets countries, excluding the U.S.

(G) The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities of the Russell 3000® Index based on a combination of market cap and current index membership.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Asset Allocation, like many investment strategies, offers no guarantee of positive returns, and mutual funds are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The market price of a ETFs share may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; and an active trading market for an ETF share may not develop or be maintained. The risks of investing in foreign securities are magnified in emerging markets. These may include risks related to market and currency volatility, adverse social and political developments and the relatively small size and less liquidity of these markets. Fixed income investing is subject to credit risk, inflation risk and interest rate risk.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the past year, global fixed income and global equity markets rallied. Within fixed income markets, for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 9.54%. Fixed income was supported by the dovish activity of global central banks. In the U.S., the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) cut interest rates by 25 basis points three times since July. In August, the U.S. 2-year-10-year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade and the 30-year Treasury yield dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bank announced additional stimulus in September and reduced the deposit rate.

Within the U.S., large cap stocks strongly outperformed small cap stocks, with the S&P 500® Index returning 14.33% versus the Russell 2000® Index which returned 4.90%. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, when the S&P 500® Index returned 13.65%. Abroad, emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index.

Crude oil declined over the past year which was largely driven by the last two months of 2018. During that period, market concerns around over-supply spiked. Crude oil rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 due to tighter global supply conditions. This was driven by the U.S. reducing its drilling, combined with Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and Saudi Arabia affirming its commitment to cutting oil output. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout the fiscal year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Dynamic Income (Class A) returned 9.35%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index and the Transamerica Dynamic Income Blended Benchmark, returned 9.05% and 11.64%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund, which is designed to generate income at a balanced risk level over a full market cycle seeks income across diversified sources, while balancing exposure to multiple risk factors. Over the short term, these risk factors can be correlated but we believe that over a full market cycle having a broad exposure to different risk factors may help mitigate the investor’s drawdown risk.

Relative to its benchmark, the Fund underperformed for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. Across equity holdings, the Global X Super Dividend US ETF was the primary detractor as defensive equities underperformed the broader U.S. equity market. Across fixed income holdings, the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Short Term High Yield Bond ETF was the largest detractor. The Vanguard Long-Term Bond ETF was the top contributor relative to the benchmark, as decreasing interest rates throughout the year were beneficial to long-term bonds. All of the underlying holdings except for the Global X MLP ETF produced positive absolute returns. The top performing ETF was the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF while the worst performing ETF was the Global X MLP ETF.

Foreign and emerging market investments involve risks not associated with U.S. markets, such as currency fluctuation, adverse social and political developments and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Fixed income investing is subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Investments in high-yield bonds (junk bonds) may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when the interest rate increases.

Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The past 12 months (period ended October 31, 2019) remained volatile in emerging markets with developed market monetary policy and trade negotiations playing a pivotal role in asset prices and impacting other areas of the emerging world. While U.S. dollar-denominated assets were the best performers, the dispersion among asset classes has not been as significant over the course of 2019 as we had seen in parts of 2018. Down in quality, long duration risk in Sub-Saharan Africa, positive election outcomes like Ukraine and conventional spread risk out the curve in higher rated countries like Indonesia have all led the U.S. dollar emerging markets debt asset class to be the best performing opportunity set in the period.

Corporates have also been a strong performer, with Brazil and Mexico credits outpacing the index. Within local currency debt, there was a significant degree of dispersion in returns by country and region. Most recently Turkey rates rallied strongly amid substantial rate cuts. While the dovish stance of central banks in developed markets has been giving emerging markets countries space to ease, political noise and dollar strength have been weighing on emerging market currencies.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt (Class A) returned 10.42%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, returned 13.69%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The majority of the relative underperformance for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 has come from the hard currency sovereign side of the portfolio. Both Argentina U.S. dollar and local currency bonds were detractors. Even though we believe the administration will be much more investor friendly than expected, asset prices will likely be slow to recover without any confirmation around International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) negotiations as well as plans for a debt restructuring. Not owning duration in higher rated areas like China and Russia also hurt returns over the period.

While Petroleos Mexicanos was a positive contributor, on the whole the underweight in Mexico did not help performance given high quality outperformance in the hard currency space over the period. On the flip-side, Ukraine sovereign assets have been a strong performer on optimism surrounding continued engagement with the IMF, decent economic performance, and better than expected currency stability. Not owning Lebanon contributed to performance as that bond market continues to struggle with liquidity and solvency amidst an unstable political backdrop. Exposure to Ecuador also buoyed returns over the period as its government demonstrated concerted efforts to implement reforms and work with the IMF, albeit not without challenges.

On the local currency side, owning duration out the curve in Mexico has been good exposure for the portfolio. Brazil and Peru also contributed positively to the portfolio over the period. Brazil has delivered on pension reform, and we believe the central bank will likely cut rates to help spur domestic growth, while Peru remains an attractive market from a real rate perspective with a central bank that has helped reduce currency volatility.

Corporate exposure was a bright spot for the portfolio. Exposure in names like CSN, Vale SA, and Suzano Austria GmbH continued to trade very well. The deleveraging within Latin American names has generically been very powerful, and management teams have been hesitant to lever back up with global growth remaining uncertain. Exposure to high quality Mexican corporates in the banking sector added to performance. Indonesian power producers who sell to the quasi-sovereign space have also been some of the best performers over the course of the past twelve months.

Most recently, improved sentiment around U.S.-China trade negotiations, global central bank easing, and a partial stabilization of growth expectations in the U.S. and globally helped risk appetite in the first month of the fourth quarter of 2019. We were positioned out the curve in corporate, local, and sovereign debt, and benefitted from better sentiment and improved currency performance.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

 

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

^

The Net Other Assets (Liabilities) category may include, but is not limited to, reverse repurchase agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, written options and swaptions, and cash collateral.

(A) The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global tracks total returns for U.S. dollar denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities: Brady bonds, loans, Eurobonds, and local market instruments.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The risks of investing in foreign securities are magnified in emerging markets. These may include risks related to market and currency volatility, adverse social and political developments, and the relativity small size and less liquidity of these markets. Debt investing is subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risks is the risk that the issuer of a bond won’t meet their payments and Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates will affect the price of a bond.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Emerging Markets were positive for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.

Central banks, governments, and regulators reacted to heightened macro concerns (Brexit, trade wars, economic growth fears, inverted yield curves, etc.) by pivoting from hawkish policies over the second half of 2018 to dovish policies in 2019. For example, since December 2018, there were 95 global central bank rate cuts and numerous countries also implemented fiscal stimulus policies.

China is top of mind when evaluating emerging markets. Investor worries about China are ubiquitous and market conditions will be volatile at times, depending largely on the policies taken to support economic growth and negotiate trade relationships. While China is expected to slow, it remains one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. The Chinese government still has multiple levers to pull, including new stimulus measures, tax changes, infrastructure projects, and easing credit rules. Also, it is important to note that China continues to open its domestic stock market to outside investment. Consequently, foreign inflows will increasingly drive stock prices as Chinese companies become a larger part of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

We expect the macro uncertainty and volatility experienced in 2019 to continue into 2020 as much of the tensions have yet to resolve, and we add the additional uncertainty of the November, 2020 U.S. presidential election. While macro concerns and politics can dominate headlines, we believe that economics and earnings ultimately drive long-term asset and portfolio returns. Despite the heightened macro volatility, we remained disciplined and diversified and, as always, continued to avoid trying to time volatile markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Emerging Markets Equity (Class A) returned 7.15%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 12.29%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The portfolio continues to be positioned in line with our overall philosophy. ClariVest employs a strategy of identifying and investing in the securities of firms entering or extending a fundamental growth cycle. We manage this strategy by marrying it with a disciplined approach to portfolio construction. We maintain a balanced profile of growth and value, as demonstrated by a positive exposure to recent earnings growth relative to benchmark, as well as a positive exposure to valuation (via such measures as earnings to price) relative to benchmark.

The fund underperformed its benchmark this fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. Top detractors from performance over the period included: an overweight to materials, stock selection within China and Korea, and stock selection within industrials and energy.

Bottom stock-level contributors included China’s largest oil and gas company, PetroChina Co., Ltd., H Shares (“PetroChina”), and China Railway Group Ltd., H Shares (“China Railway Group”), an engineering and construction company. PetroChina fell as third quarter earnings missed estimates partly due to higher than expected losses from imported gas. China Railway Group reported strong new orders, however, gross margins contracted on product mix and economic slowdown in China.

Top contributors to portfolio performance included: an underweight to Saudi Arabia, allocation to Taiwan, strong stock selection within South Africa and Russia, an overweight to information technology, and stock selection within materials and consumer discretionary.

Top stock-level contributors included ANTA Sports Products, Ltd. (“ANTA”), the Chinese sportswear designer, and JBS SA (“JBS”), the Brazilian meat producer. ANTA’s share price rose after the company posted net profit and revenue that beat analyst estimates for the first half of the year due, in part, to retail sales from its Chinese operated Fila and Descente brands. JBS benefitted from pork price rises in the wake of an African Swine Fever outbreak in China which drastically cut China’s production output.

(A) The MSCI Emerging Markets Index captures large and mid-cap representation across emerging markets countries.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. The risks of investing in foreign securities are magnified in emerging markets. These may include risks related to market and currency volatility, adverse social and political developments and the relatively small size and less liquidity of these markets.

The 2019 fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 had a tumultuous start as volatility returned to both the equity and fixed income markets. However, the S&P 500® Index rebounded at the outset of 2019. The 2019 year through October encountered ongoing volatility created by broad geopolitical concerns, including the trade war between U.S. and China, Brexit, and tensions in the Middle East. While the limited communication from the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) to the market was another source of volatility, the Fed followed through on previous indications and cut interest rates three times. The last rate cut came as the economy showed continued signs of slowing.

The global convertible market issuance remained healthy throughout 2019. The U.S. convertible market demonstrated strong performance. Broadly, the fiscal year period concluded with growing idiosyncratic volatility. Several factors contributed to individual stock volatility, including a steepening yield curve, continued market rotation from momentum into value, and an earnings season without outsized moves that signaled significant divergence between expectations and normalized valuations.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Event Driven (Class I2) returned 4.41%. By comparison, its benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar LIBOR 3-Month Constant Maturity Index, returned 2.68%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The healthcare and technology sectors were the greatest contributors to performance during the fiscal year, while the energy and media sectors were the greatest performance detractors. In terms of asset class, convertible bonds were the greatest contributors to performance whereas equity positions were the greatest detractors. The hybrid nature of the convertible asset class helped mitigate sharp downward swings in the market while also enabling upside participation through the convertible’s equity optionality. The Fund’s exposure to the merger and acquisitions sub-strategy was the greatest contributor to performance whereas the shorting sub-strategy & hedged positions were the greatest performance detractors during the fiscal year.

Inmarsat plc, Palo Alto Networks, Inc. and Inphi Corp. were the top performance contributors for the fiscal year. Inmarsat plc, the world’s leading provider of global satellite communications, was the top performer during the year. The Fund’s position in Inmarsat was established in 2018 and expressed through a convertible bond that was hedged with a short position in the company’s common stock to neutralize the delta exposure. Our long-term view that Inmarsat plc was an attractive takeover candidate came to fruition in mid-March 2019 when the company disclosed that it had been approached by a private equity consortium led by Apax Partners to be acquired. When the convertible notes traded up to reflect what we believed was near full value, the Fund exited its position.

Alibaba Group Holding, Ltd. – ADR, YY, Inc. and Evolent Health were the most significant detractors from returns during the fiscal year. The Alibaba Group Holding, Ltd. – ADR was a straight equity holding and the top performance detractor for the period. Alibaba Group Holdings, Ltd. is China’s largest ecommerce platform, and as one of the largest publicly traded companies in China, it remains a China sentiment proxy for many investors. During the period, we traded around our core fundamental position in the name. The company’s underlying equity experienced significant volatility during this period due to ongoing China-U.S. trade tensions and concerns of a global economic slowdown.

The portfolio was invested primarily in the U.S. during the fiscal year, with the remainder in Japan, Marshall Islands, France and China. The Fund’s largest sector concentrations were in technology, consumer discretionary and healthcare.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

     2.68      1.87         

(A) The ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar LIBOR 3-Month Constant Maturity Index represents the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) with a constant 3-month average maturity.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or Life of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The value of your investment may be more volatile to the extent that the Fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments that have a leveraging effect on the Fund. Other risks also will be compounded. This is because leverage generally magnifies the effect of a change in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the Fund would otherwise have had. The use of leverage is considered to be a speculative investment practice and may result in the loss of a substantial amount, and possibly all, of the Fund’s assets. The Fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations. The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Fixed income securities have several risks including fluctuations in market value, changes in interest rates as the values will decrease as interest rates rise, and issuers defaulting on their obligations to pay interest or return principal.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 began with the prospects of healthy but moderating economic activity and global trade tensions that could potentially derail it. As consumption, fixed investments and government spending growth slowed, so did year-over-year gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. Lower expectations prevailed throughout the year while any lingering optimism was reduced by a tumultuous geopolitical environment. As trade wars between the U.S. and China, and Japan and South Korea intensified, so did their impact on underlying economies.

Risks around trade policy were a concern for the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), which lowered 2019 GDP projections in December. Still, they stayed the course on normalizing rates given continued economic strength, and hiked rates once more in December of 2018. As a result, market expectations on Fed action soured, pricing in no further hike for the entirety of 2019 as a jolt of volatility overtook risk assets. The Fed’s more dovish tone and concerns over an inverted yield curve were top of mind for investors at the start of calendar year 2019. After cutting rates by 25 basis points in July and September, softening economic data and continued below-target inflation gave the green light to the Fed to trim its federal funds rate a quarter of a point at its October meeting.

The loan market started out with a sell-off that reached its apex in late December, with poor seasonal liquidity and heavy retail outflows contributing to the weakness. After the turn of the calendar year, the loan market rallied as collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) issuance picked up, retail outflows moderated and market risk appetite picked up. The loan market traded in a range-bound pattern for much of the fiscal year, with three key themes. First, investors moved up in quality as the pace of rating agency downgrades increased. Secondly, retail investors made up less than 10% of the asset class due to persistent outflows, leading to the CLO market increasing its share of the market and making the market more ratings sensitive as a result. Finally, the size of the loan market finally stalled out after years of healthy increases in loans outstanding, and due to some of the pressures mentioned above, the high yield market stole some share of secured issuance while also enjoying a high number of paydowns throughout the year.

At the end of the fiscal year, the loan market legged back down, with the lower-quality segment leading the way lower as managers attempted to increase portfolio quality. BB rated credits eked out a slight gain in the month of October while other non-investment grade ratings fell. For the 12-month period, it’s notable that higher quality credits outperformed lower quality, with BBs and Bs producing positive returns while CCCs declined.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Floating Rate (Class A) returned 2.44%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, returned 2.60%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Security selection, most notably Bs and CCC-rated loans, was the largest contributor to relative performance for the 12-month period. The underweight to CCCs contributed positively, as lower-quality underperformed. The Fund was underweight to BBs, detracting from results, but security selection within that ratings category contributed favorably. Positive results were slightly offset by off-benchmark exposures to investment grade credits. By sub-sector, top contributors to active returns included healthcare, consumer durables and services. The largest detractors included holdings in food/tobacco, energy and media/telecom.

With respect to positioning, we believe food and beverage, packaging, and consumer products industries stand to benefit from historically low energy prices and increased consumer spending. However, the fund has continued to remain underweight retail given our negative outlook for the sector, driven by slower mall traffic, weak margins, and poorly structured deals. We continue to watch how e-commerce generally is impacting consumption patterns, particularly in the consumer products space. Additionally, we have positioned the Fund to be underweight technology. While the sector has been a long-term beneficiary of secular growth, there will be winners and losers, and we believe there is quite a bit of equity-related risk in many tech deals.

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index is an index designed to mirror the investable universe of the dollar denominated leveraged loan market.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Investing in high-yield bonds (junk bonds) may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities in not guaranteed. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers and the creditworthiness of the issuers may significantly affect the value of a bond.

Transamerica Global Equity

 

 

(unaudited)

 

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Global equity markets produced relatively solid returns for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. Gains in the U.S. outpaced those of non-U.S. markets. The biggest drivers of returns were particularly strong performance in information technology and sectors that generally exhibit less economic cyclicality (e.g., real estate and utilities), while trade war uncertainty as well as a flattening yield curve negatively impacted more cyclical industries, particularly banks.

The significant fall in yields driven by dovish actions by central banks across the world created what we believe to be bubbly valuations in certain sectors, particularly utilities, real estate, consumer staples and technology. At the other end of the spectrum, we feel the market is overlooking cyclical value, an area where we see compelling long-term opportunities.

We also believe that non-U.S. markets are poised to outperform the U.S. One potential catalyst is German fiscal stimulus, which may be unveiled over the coming months to combat a technical recession. German fiscal stimulus could boost European equities and sovereign bond yields, with cyclical and value stocks being the primary beneficiaries.

The U.S. market, which has been the best performer over the last 10 years, may be running out of steam. Due in part to uncertainty surrounding the 2020 U.S. presidential election, we suspect U.S. markets will become more volatile and potentially underperform other regions.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Global Equity (Class A) returned 7.77%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the MSCl All Country World Index Net and MSCI World Index ex-U.S., returned 12.59% and 11.70%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Transamerica Global Equity underperformed its benchmark for the fiscal year due mostly to negative stock selection in financials and consumer discretionary. Our underweights in information technology, real estate and utilities also negatively impacted performance as did our overweight in energy. Swedbank AB, A Shares (“Swedbank”) was one of the largest detracting stocks. The company was under investigation for suspected money laundering at their Estonian unit. While the investigation was ongoing at period end, the stock was trading at what we consider attractive valuations. Swedbank operates in a fairly oligopolistic market, generating higher returns relative to other European bank peers, with a conservative balance sheet and a strong capital position. We feel the bank’s balance sheet should be able to weather potential fines; the increase in costs to date were manageable.

Covetrus also weighed on performance. The company is a combination of the spin-out of Henry Schein’s animal health business, one of the largest providers of animal health products, and VetsFirstChoice, which provides pharmacy services to veterinarians. Providing an end to end solution for providers (i.e., accounting/billing solutions to medical equipment and pet medication), Covetrus was negatively impacted by a combination of issues, including disappointing earnings and a delay in the release of its first earnings report. Management also cited macroeconomic headwinds in North America, which was not consistent with commentary from other animal health companies that had reported. Additionally, there were concerns that manufacturers like Zoetis were exploring more direct distribution models. Given these concerns, we exited our position.

On a sector basis, communication services was the largest contributing sector, driven by strong performance in Facebook, which continued to experience robust earnings growth. Spark Therapeutics, another top individual contributor, received a takeover offer from Roche.

Europe was the largest detracting region, with our European bank holdings negatively impacting performance. Japan was our top contributing region, with KDDI Corp. being the largest contributor; the stock recovered from underperformance related to competitive concerns.

(A) The MSCI All Country World Index Net is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets.

(B) The MSCI World Index ex-U.S. captures large and mid-cap representation across developed markets countries, excluding the U.S.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Investments in global/international markets involve risks not associated with U. S. markets, such as currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Investments in developing markets involve greater risks than investments in developed markets.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Following a turbulent end to 2018, the financial markets posted impressive performances with both fixed income and equity markets generating strong positive returns for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The investment grade fixed income market has benefited from both declining Treasury rates and a spread sector rally.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tightened rates by 25 basis points in December 2018, then eased rates three times, by 25 basis points each, from July through October. U.S. economic growth continued at a moderate pace during the fiscal year. The consumer remained a bulwark of the economy as employment trends were strong and personal consumption expenditures continued to be robust. The housing market was also a bright spot in the economy.

The trade war has overshadowed the manufacturing side of the economy. Business investment remains weak, and companies dependent on trade have underperformed those with more domestic focus. Concern remains that the U.S. economy may be the only engine of growth for the global economy. Corporate debt new issuance in 2019 has remained slightly below the pace of 2018, while issuance levels in the structured markets are on par or slightly ahead of 2018. Dollar denominated investment grade fixed income continues to be prized by both domestic and international investors, supporting the liquidity and spread levels of these markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica High Quality Bond (Class R4) returned 5.15%. By comparison, its benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate & Government 1-3 Years Index, returned 4.90%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund uses relative value analysis in an attempt to select high quality investment grade and liquid fixed income assets and to tactically adjust portfolio weightings in an effort to generate strong risk-adjusted returns. Throughout the period the Fund maintained a neutral duration stance relative to the benchmark. During the past fiscal year, the Fund’s allocation to corporates and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) was modestly decreased, and the allocation to asset-backed securities (“ABS”) was increased. The spreads on these three sectors increased in November and December of 2018, with corporate bonds increasing the most. Spreads generally tightened through the remainder of the fiscal year. Residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) spreads followed a different course, gradually widening through the second half of the year. The Fund’s overweight to the spread sectors and underweight to Treasuries relative to the index contributed to performance.

The Fund’s specific security selection also contributed to performance. Its holdings of subordinated auto ABS tranches and mezzanine CMBS tranches outperformed the broader sectors, as higher beta securities generally outperformed. Treasury rates fell and the yield curve flattened over the fiscal year. While the overall Fund duration was kept intentionally close to the benchmark, the Fund was overweight the 0-1 year and modestly underweight the 1-3 year. In total, curve positioning added to return for the fiscal period.

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

 

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

(A) The ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate & Government 1-3 Years Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated investment grade debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market, including U.S. Treasury, U.S. agency, foreign government, supranational and corporate securities that have a remaining maturity of less than three years and more than one year.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Fund calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the Fund, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Any U.S. government guarantees of the securities held in this investment Fund pertain only to those securities and not the Fund or its yield. The values of bonds change in response to changes in economic conditions, interest rates, and the creditworthiness of individual issuers. The value of bonds and bond funds generally falls when interest rates rise, causing an investor to lose money upon sale or redemption.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 began with the prospects of healthy but moderating economic activity and global trade tensions that could potentially derail it. As consumption, fixed investments and government spending growth slowed, so did year-over-year gross domestic product “(GDP”) growth. Lower expectations prevailed throughout the year while any lingering optimism was reduced by a tumultuous geopolitical environment. As trade wars between the U.S. and China, and Japan and South Korea intensified, so did their impact on underlying economies.

Risks around trade policy were a concern for the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), which lowered 2019 GDP projections in December of 2018. Still, they stayed the course on normalizing rates given continued economic strength, hiking once more in December. As a result, market expectations on Fed action soured, pricing in no further hike for the entirety of 2019 as a jolt of volatility overtook risk assets. The Fed’s more dovish tone and concerns over an inverted yield curve were top of mind for investors at the start of calendar year 2019. After cutting rates by 25 basis points in July and September, softening economic data and continued below-target inflation gave the green light to the Fed to trim its federal funds rate a quarter of a point at its October meeting.

High yield returns rebounded in 2019, helping to more than offset the losses experienced into year-end 2018, as the broad high yield index increased by high single digits in the fiscal year. Reversing course from last year, lower-quality bonds significantly underperformed higher quality counterparts, as CCCs declined, while the more rate-sensitive B-and BB-rated credits led the way as market interest rates declined.

With Treasuries rallying through most of 2019, long duration, higher-quality assets outperformed their lower quality counterparts, leading to what we view as rich valuations for a large portion of the BB universe relative to the rest of the U.S. high yield market. Overall, high yield technicals were strong with outflows from 2018 reversing course and moving to inflows in 2019, while issuance remained muted. High yield fundamentals remain solid in our opinion given strong corporate earnings, though in many cases there is lowered guidance citing the effect of the trade war.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica High Yield Bond (Class A) returned 7.79%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, returned 8.38%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Security selection was the primary contributor to fund performance this year. While the individual security selection was strong across high yield rating categories, the selection within B-rated credit was especially advantageous relative to the benchmark. Other positive contributors included the modest underweight position to CCCs and below as well as the small off-index exposure to investment grade credit. However, the fund’s underweight to BBs detracted as higher quality generally outperformed the broader high yield market during the last twelve months. By sector, the top contributors included consumer cyclical and non-cyclicals as well as technology sectors. The largest detractors from active returns were capital goods, electric utilities and finance companies.

With respect to positioning and themes, we have continued to prefer U.S. issuers relative to the rest of the world. Sectors where the team has remained overweight include consumer cyclicals, primarily housing and gaming, and financials, and we have been finding some opportunities in specific credits within the telecom and energy sectors. The team still views current valuations of basic materials as relatively rich and maintain an underweight position, primarily via chemicals. We also ended the period underweight consumer non-cyclical, primarily due to our view on the healthcare sector, where we have some fundamental concerns around certain private equity backed issuers.

We remained overweight B-rated and BBB- or higher bonds, while maintaining an underweight to CCC+ or below and BBs – but are pursuing idiosyncratic opportunities to add lower quality-rated credit. On a case-by-case basis, we are comfortable with risk exposure to lower-quality credit given underlying fundamentals. The team also believes there are select situations in the investment grade market that offer good risk/reward relative to BBs.

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index is an issuer-constrained measurement of the market of U.S. dollar denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds. The exposure of each issuer is limited to 2% of the total market value of the index.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2, I3, R, R4 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Interest rates may go up, causing the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. Changes, in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers and the creditworthiness of the issuers may significantly affect the value of a bond. Investing in high-yield bonds (junk bonds) may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when interest rates increases.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The municipal and Treasury rally that concluded 2018 continued its surge to start 2019 following the inability of President Trump and Chinese President Xi to successfully negotiate a new trade deal. The Chinese-U.S. trade war was one of the main contributors to Treasury and municipal performance, as investors flooded to safe assets after President Trump’s increase on Chinese tariffs boosted fears of a global economic slowdown in 2019. The largest rally throughout the year came in August 2019, when President Trump announced a 10% tariff, with the possible threat of a later 25% tariff on $300 billion of Chinese imports that would affect American consumers directly. The tariff announcement led to a 52 basis point (“bps”) and 57 bps rally, in 10-year and 30-year Treasuries respectively over the course of the month, setting multi-year lows, last seen in July 2016 and the lowest level of the Trump administration. In fear of a global economic slowdown, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) enacted three rate cuts in 2019, negating the rate hikes experienced in 2018 in an attempt to insulate the economy from slowing global demand and market uncertainty.

As a result of long-dated Treasuries tightening over 100 bps throughout the fiscal year, the market has seen an uptick in municipal supply, as issuers tried to take advantage of lower yields to refinance their debt. Fund flows remained positive each month in 2019 due to the rally in rates and the demand for tax-sheltered income, as taxpayers faced the state and local tax (“SALT”) deduction cap in which taxpayers could only deduct a maximum of $10,000 from their federal tax returns. Investors flooded to municipals following April 2019, as taxpayers saw higher tax bills following the enactment of the SALT tax deduction. The $10,000 cap is not adjusted for inflation, so we expect that the demand for tax sheltered income will remain constant in the upcoming years.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Transamerica High Yield Muni (Class A) returned 9.54%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index, returned 11.65%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We have preferred higher quality credits than the benchmark in the current market environment, as evidenced by the fund’s over 40% exposure to investment-grade credits. We have maintained a continued focus on diligent credit analysis in smaller deals, lesser-known issuers, and areas of the market we believe to be over-looked and under-valued by Wall Street. The Fund has remained very selective in the new issuance coming to market in terms of pay-ability and feasibility, as issuers look to take advantage of the multi-year lows in interest rates. The Fund maintains its wary stance on new project finance deals that were unable to clear the market previously. More recently, however, we have been able to buy these deals as investors have been willing to accept higher risk in search of higher yielding positions. We look to take advantage of such opportunities, when comfortable with the credit, while also keeping an active management approach to sell out of positions that, in our opinion, may no longer be providing enough value for the risk potential.

Although the Fund was positioned almost a half-year longer than the benchmark as measured by duration, it underperformed due to its overweight short-term positions in the zero- to one-year maturity bucket. With the dramatic rally in interest rates, the Fund would have been better positioned to allocate longer out on the curve, as it was underweighted in long bonds (22-years+) compared to the benchmark. Such portfolio positioning is the primary reason the Fund underperformed, despite having a slightly longer duration in a falling interest rate environment.

The Fund’s allocation across the credit spectrum was a detractor from performance as our investment grade holdings did not benefit from spread compression as much as the benchmark’s high yield holdings. Throughout the fiscal year, the Fund was materially underweight below-investment-grade and non-rated bonds.

Revenue bonds detracted from performance during the period. Relative to the benchmark, the Fund was underweight housing, hospital, special tax bonds, which were all sectors that generated positive returns. However, we were overweight in the education sector which was the best performing sector due to our highly selective exposure to charter school and secondary education investments.

Though the Fund was overweight in Puerto Rico, the exposure was limited to insured credits which have not traded at the same elevated spreads as the non-insured bonds, and thus did not realize the same outperformance seen in the non-insured credits, as the benchmark’s exposure to Puerto Rico is concentrated in these non-insured names. The Fund’s best performing state was Georgia due to strong credit selection and spread tightening.

Duration †

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

*

Percentage rounds to less than 0.1% or (0.1)%.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index is comprised of bonds that are non-investment grade, unrated, or rated below Ba1 by Moody’s Investors Service with a remaining maturity of at least one year.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 3.25% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Municipal bond prices can rise or fall depending on interest rates. Interest rates may go up, causing the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. All municipal bonds carry credit risk that the issuer will default or be unable to make timely payments of interest and principal. Generally, lower rated bonds carry more credit risk. High-yield bonds (junk bonds) may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when interest rates increases. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

It has been a volatile year in interest rates. Inflation-linked securities had a good year due to the overall rally in rates. However, break-evens did deteriorate over the year which detracted from U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) performance.

The U.S. TIPS 10-year break-even was over 200 basis points (“bps”) in 2018 and declined precipitously to 155 bps on October 31, 2019. This decline in break-evens resulted in underperformance of the U.S. TIPS vs the nominal Treasury curve.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) ended 2018 with a plan to hike rates four more times, which quickly morphed into two rate hikes and a balance sheet on autopilot before year end. The market suffered a terrible fourth quarter where the market was projecting a large policy error. Then in early January 2019, the Fed switched completely back to easing and rate cuts, along with a dose of ending quantitative tightening. These moves, along with dovish European Central Bank and Bank of Japan, caused a global rates rally.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Inflation Opportunities (Class A) returned 8.73%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Inflation Linked Bond Index, returned 8.64%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Asset allocation was the top contributor. The underweight in U.K. inflation-linked bonds (“linkers”) delivered positive performance as break-evens fell precipitously during the year, even though U.K. rates fell. The largest detractor to Fund performance was the shorter duration versus the index.

Asset allocation was helped by performance from inflation related corporate bonds as spreads tightened over the year. Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”) and Asset Backed Securities (“ABS”) bonds also benefitted as real estate performed well in times of rising inflation and rent increases have outpaced inflation.

Asset allocation among inflation-linked bonds also helped performance. Canada lead the pack and the Fund was overweight that country. The Fund was also long New Zealand, which also outperformed the index. The Fund did own Italian linkers at the beginning of the year, but sold the positions in the first quarter as the Italian budget concerns became more acute. The portfolio managers have favored natural resource heavy countries of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as a way to play a future stimulus package from China. Recently the Fund has taken some profit from the Canada trade and allocated a small percentage to Japanese linkers, which we believe have bottomed on a break-even basis.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions added to performance.

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

^

The Net Other Assets (Liabilities) category may include, but is not limited to, reverse repurchase agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, written options and swaptions, and cash collateral.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays Global Inflation Linked Bond Index cover eleven sovereign markets, quasi-sovereign issues in the Euro market and a full credit index in sterling.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 4.75% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Fixed income investing is subject to credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk. Investing in high-yield bonds (junk bonds) may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the return of principal and income derived from these securities are not guaranteed and can fluctuate based on firm profitability and economic conditions. Interest payment on inflation-related debt securities will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.

Transamerica Inflation-Protected Securities

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

It has been a volatile year in interest rates. Inflation-linked securities had a good year due to the overall rally in rates. However, break-evens did deteriorate over the year which detracts from U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) performance.

The U.S. TIPS 10-year break-even was over 200 basis points (“bps”) in 2018 and declined precipitously to 155 bps on October 31, 2019. This decline in break-evens resulted in underperformance of the U.S. TIPS vs the nominal Treasury curve.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) ended 2018 with a plan to hike rates four more times, which quickly morphed into two rate hikes and a balance sheet on autopilot before year end. The market suffered a terrible fourth quarter where the market was projecting a large policy error. Then in early January 2019, the Fed switched completely back to easing and rate cuts, along with a dose of ending quantitative tightening. These moves, along with dovish European Central Bank and Bank of Japan, caused a global rates rally.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Inflation-Protected Securities (Class R4) returned 8.58%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index, returned 8.96%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Asset allocation was the top contributor. Other contributors included European inflation-linked bonds (“linkers”), specifically Italian and Spanish linkers, and security selection witihn U.S. TIPS. The Fund was overweight the shorter end of the U.S. TIPS curve and the shorter end did not experience the falling break-evens of the longer end. The largest detractor to Fund performance was the shorter duration versus the index.

Asset allocation was helped by performance from corporate bonds as spreads tightened over the year. Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”) and Asset Backed Securities (“ABS”) bonds also benefitted as real estate performed well in times of rising inflation and rent increases have outpaced inflation.

Asset allocation among inflation-linked bonds also helped performance. Canada lead the pack and the Fund was overweight that country. The Fund was also long New Zealand, which also outperformed the index. The Fund did own Italian linkers at the beginning of the year, but sold the positions in the first quarter as the Italian budget concerns became more acute. The portfolio managers have favored natural resource heavy countries of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as a way to play a future stimulus package from China. Recently the Fund has taken some profit from the Canada trade and allocated a small percentage to Japanese linkers, which we believe have bottomed on a break-even basis.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions added to performance.

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

*

Percentage rounds to less than 0.1% or (0.1)%.

 

^

The Net Other Assets (Liabilities) category may include, but is not limited to, reverse repurchase agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, written options and swaptions, and cash collateral.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index is a market value weighted index that tracks inflation protected securities issued by the U.S. Treasury.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Fund calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the Fund, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Any U.S. government guarantees of the securities held in this investment Fund pertain only to those securities and not the Fund or its yield. The values of bonds change in response to changes in economic conditions, interest rates, and the creditworthiness of individual issuers. The value of bonds and bond funds generally falls when interest rates rise, causing an investor to lose money upon sale or redemption. Market values of inflation-protected securities can be affected by changes in the market’s inflation expectations or changes in real rates of interest.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 began with the prospects of healthy but moderating economic activity and global trade tensions that could potentially derail it. As consumption, fixed investments and government spending growth slowed, so did year-over-year gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. Lower expectations prevailed throughout the year while any lingering optimism was reduced by a tumultuous geopolitical environment. As trade wars between the U.S. and China, and Japan and South Korea intensified, so did their impact on underlying economies.

Risks around trade policy were a concern for the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), which lowered 2019 GDP projections in December. Still, they stayed the course in normalizing rates given continued economic strength, and hiked rates once more in December of 2018. As a result, market expectations on Fed action soured, pricing in no further hike for the entirety of 2019 as a jolt of volatility overtook risk assets. The Fed’s more dovish tone and concerns over an inverted yield curve were top of mind for investors at the start of calendar year 2019. After cutting rates by 25 basis points in July and September, softening economic data and continued below-target inflation gave the green light to the Fed to trim its federal funds rate a quarter of a point at its October meeting.

Despite a rough start and volatility throughout the year, the credit markets performed well, both on a total and excess return basis. U.S. equities and high yield bonds posted their largest quarterly losses at the beginning of the fiscal year, which, when combined with higher volatility, depressed risk-return profiles for the quarter. Losses for investment grade bonds were more muted. As volatility normalized and financial conditions eased, risk assets, led by U.S. equities and high yield bonds, posted positive results in the second quarter. During the third quarter, risk assets and Treasuries posted positive results, led by U.S. equities and investment grade bonds. U.S. risk assets have broadly gained so far in the fourth quarter, led by investment grade bonds and Treasuries. October was risk-on with equities delivering positive returns in the U.S. investment grade, high yield, and Treasuries also posted modest gains for the month.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Intermediate Bond (Class R4) returned 11.10%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, returned 11.51%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Over the past year, we continued to remain overweight spread-based assets relative to the benchmark given our views on expected risk-adjusted returns. Securitized credit remained a favored investment opportunity given our solid fundamental outlook and robust structural protections offered by many deals. Within corporate credit, we continue to prefer financials due to strong capital positions and lower expected event risk. Over the year, we became more biased towards shorter-dated credit given what we see as its attractive risk-adjusted return profile compared to longer maturity bonds.

One year relative performance for the portfolio was driven by the overweight to spread-based assets as both carry and spread effects contributed positively to relative returns. Yield curve effects were a detractor given a slightly short duration positioning compared to the benchmark as rates fell across the curve over the time period.

At an asset class level, the portfolio’s allocation to longer duration Treasury securities compared to the benchmark contributed positively to relative returns, as did the portfolio’s underweight allocation to agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and overweight allocation to investment grade corporates. These positives were partially offset by poor security selection in agency RMBS and investment grade corporate credit. An overweight allocation to shorter duration commercial mortgage-backed securities also detracted from returns.

Within corporate credit, allocations to communications and transportation contributed positively to relative returns. Security selection with communication, transportation and real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) were detractors.

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or Life of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Any U.S. government guarantees of the securities held in this investment fund pertain only to those securities and not the fund or its yield. The values of bonds change in response to changes in economic conditions, interest rates, and the creditworthiness of individual issuers. The value of bonds and bond funds generally falls when interest rates rise, causing an investor to lose money upon sale or redemption.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The municipal and Treasury rally that concluded 2018 continued its surge to start 2019 following the inability of President Trump and Chinese President Xi to successfully negotiate a new trade deal. The Chinese-U.S. trade war was one of the main contributors to Treasury and municipal performance, as investors flooded to safe assets after President Trump’s increase on Chinese tariffs boosted fears of a global economic slowdown in 2019. The largest rally throughout the year came in August 2019, when President Trump announced a 10% tariff, with the possible threat of a later 25% tariff on $300 billion of Chinese imports that would affect American consumers directly. The tariff announcement led to a 52 basis points (bps) and 57 bps rally, in 10-year and 30-year Treasuries respectively over the course of the month, setting multi-year lows, last seen in July 2016 and the lowest level of the Trump administration. In fear of a global economic slowdown, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) enacted three rate cuts in 2019, negating the rate hikes experienced in 2018 in an attempt to insulate the economy from slowing global demand and market uncertainty.

As a result of long-dated Treasuries tightening over 100 basis points throughout the fiscal year, the market has seen an uptick in municipal supply, as issuers tried to take advantage of lower yields to refinance their debt. Fund flows remained positive each month in 2019 due to the rally in rates and the demand for tax-sheltered income, as taxpayers faced the state and local tax (“SALT”) deduction cap in which taxpayers could only deduct a maximum of $10,000 from their federal tax returns. Investors flooded to municipals following April 2019, as taxpayers saw higher tax bills following the enactment of the SALT tax deduction. The $10,000 cap is not adjusted for inflation, so we expect that the demand for tax sheltered income will remain constant in the upcoming years.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Intermediate Muni (Class A) returned 9.35%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Muni Managed Money Intermediate Index, returned 9.28%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund was positioned approximately 0.65 years longer than the index, as measured by duration, at the end of the period; however, the Fund was also overweight ultra-short duration (<1 year), which limited performance as yields rallied over a full percentage point throughout the 2019 fiscal year. The Fund’s outperformance was driven by its added exposure in long bonds (20-years+) versus the benchmark, which has concentration in the shorter end of the yield curve.

The Fund has increased its exposure to high quality paper. The allocation across the credit spectrum had a significantly positive effect on performance this fiscal year as credit spreads tightened concurrently with the rally in Treasuries. The largest contributor to relative performance was the fund’s overweight exposure to BBB-rated bonds. Relative to the index, the Fund was underweight both AAA and AA-rated credits, and overweight A, BBB, and non-rated credits.

The housing sector was the top-contributing sector to performance, and the Fund was overweight the sector relative to the index. With the rally in municipal yields, housing bonds outperformed with their higher price sensitivity to the market due to their lower average coupons. The Fund’s overweight exposure to insured bonds also contributed to relative performance this year as demand remained strong with investors searching for the extra protection provided by the bond insurers.

The Fund’s exposure to states with historically low supply like New Hampshire contributed to performance during this period. Purchases in states like these were made for future opportunistic trades in which future demand is anticipated for retail investors who seek state tax-exempt income. The Fund also seeks smaller issues that require extra yield to clear the market at issuance, as the spreads usually tighten to comparable trading names post-issuance. This is done in an effort to boost performance and provide alpha generation.

Active management through opportunistic trade execution remains a focus for the portfolio managers in an effort to outperform the benchmark. We seek to take advantage of certain market dislocations and inefficiencies by taking advantage on both the buy and sale side of the market. Additionally, we continue to monitor and manage duration to seek to remain more closely aligned with the Fund’s benchmark and peers.

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays Muni Managed Money Intermediate Index is comprised of tax-exempt bonds with maturities ranging from 1 to 17 years that are rated Aa3/AA- or higher by at least two of the following statistical ratings agencies: Moody’s, S&P and Fitch.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 3.25% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Municipal bond prices can rise or fall depending on interest rates. Interest rates may go up, causing the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. All municipal bonds carry credit risk that the issuer will default or be unable to make timely payments of interest and principal. Generally, lower rated bonds carry more credit risk.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

During the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, international equities increased as part of a rebound in global equities. Investor concerns about trade disputes, interest rates and the outcome of Brexit characterized the period. Asia Ex-Japan performed the best, while the United Kingdom lagged other regions. Ten of 11 benchmark sectors posted positive returns with utilities and information technology leading; meanwhile, energy and financials lagged.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica International Equity (Class I) returned 7.66%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 11.63%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index due in part to two emerging markets holdings, Baidu, Inc., ADR (“Baidu”) and Embraer SA, ADR, (“Embraer”). Despite Chinese internet search giant Baidu releasing results and guidance above expectations, its stock declined due to increased competition in search and data restructuring in its health-care segment. Brazilian aerospace conglomerate Embraer underperformed after the company’s deliveries of new aircraft fell short of expectations. We believe Embraer’s position in an oligopolistic industry is undervalued.

The United Kingdom led regional relative performance with Barratt Developments PLC and Inchcape PLC among the top performers. U.K. homebuilder Barratt Developments PLC outperformed after releasing results above expectations supported by higher margins. Inchcape PLC operates a multinational automotive distribution, retail and services business. The company strategically disposed of underperforming retail locations to focus on high-return opportunities and more effective capital allocation.

Stock selection in industrials provided the biggest drag on a sector basis. Embraer and CK Hutchison Holdings, Ltd. (“CK Hutchison”) were the primary laggards. As mentioned above, shares of the Brazilian aerospace conglomerate declined following a lower number of aircraft deliveries. Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison underperformed amidst a softer macro environment, despite reporting satisfactory results. The company announced a reorganization of its telecommunication segment to better monetize its underlying assets. This reorganization resembles Vodafone’s plan, which led to a significant rally in shares.

Materials holdings also lagged with ArcelorMittal and Kuraray Co., Ltd. (“Kuraray”) as underperformers. Steel manufacturer ArcelorMittal continued to endure a difficult pricing environment. Management reduced production and announced a plan to sell non-core assets over the next two years to reduce debt. The firm recently doubled its dividend; we believe mid-term shareholder return potential is significant given the company’s strong free cash flow. Japanese chemical and material company Kuraray experienced manufacturing and end market headwinds, leading to two negative guidance revisions. A fire in a North American factory derailed production and led to litigation while demand for PVA film used in LCD panels softened. We were re-evaluating our position in the company at period end.

Information technology and utilities were top sector contributors thanks to stock selection. NXP Semiconductors NV (“NXP”) and Hitachi, Ltd. drove outperformance in IT. Netherlands-based semiconductor manufacturer NXP performed well after reporting results above expectations and raising full-year guidance. The company also increased its dividend by 50%, and announced the acquisition of Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. to round out its product offering. Japanese conglomerate Hitachi, Ltd. reported strong results and guided for further margin improvement. The company is restructuring its business portfolio and selling undervalued, non-core segments. French companies Veolia Environnement SA (“Veolia”) and Engie SA (“Engie”) powered outperformance in utilities. Veolia reported strong results due to organic growth and improved operating efficiency. The company also announced the sale of its U.S. district heating operations at a favorable valuation. Engie, which reported results above expectations, continued to transform its operations as evidenced by its sale of European coal assets and acquisition of Brazilian natural gas infrastructure. Additionally, Engie announced a new strategy for wind and solar development during its recent capital markets day.

(A) The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2, I3, R, R4 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. Investments in global/international markets involve risks not associated with U.S. markets, such as currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments and relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, international economies were relatively weak and macroeconomic risk continued to dominate headlines, including continuation of the U.S.-China trade dispute, ongoing Brexit negotiations, Italian politics and other geopolitical issues. Though this caused bouts of volatility in financial markets, the MSCI EAFE Index, the Fund’s benchmark posted positive returns, with the energy sector the only sector down. Since the global financial crisis, growth stocks have outperformed value stocks; however, value started to outperform growth in September.

We continue to hold companies with positive business momentum and competitive advantages that help sustain longer-term profitability. The earnings environment remained weak as of period end, and the outlook is expected to be moderately down over the next 12 months. Since the risks to the downside remain elevated and the market may be prone to periods of volatility, we prefer companies with a prudent use of leverage and a more resilient earnings profile. We take advantage of periods of weakness to add high-conviction stocks at a reasonable price.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica International Growth (Class I2) returned 15.22%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 11.63%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund outperformed its benchmark, led by an allocation to emerging markets. Anta Sports Products, Ltd., a sporting retailer in China, continued to execute on its business plan and was the largest individual contributor to performance. The company, which has an excellent track record of acquiring assets, benefited from a recent acquisition in Amer Sports. In October 2019, the company also reported third quarter strong sales growth on healthy demand. We trimmed the position to take profits and to manage risk. The U.K. also contributed to regional performance, driven predominantly by stock selection. Compass Group PLC, a food services company, was the top U.K. contributor and second largest for the fund overall. The company continued to generate good organic growth and benefited from strength in its North American market.

A lower weighting and holdings in the Pacific ex-Japan region detracted from performance. a2 Milk Co., Ltd., a New Zealand-based company that distributes alternative milk products, weighed the most in the region after management revised down its margin guidance. While there is uncertainty over sales and margin improvements in the near term, the company is increasing marketing expenses in new end markets in the U.S. and China to build long-term franchise value. Based on our belief management is taking the right approach, we added to our position.

From a sector perspective, contribution was broad based with eight of the 11 sectors adding to performance. Holdings in consumer discretionary, financials and industrials sectors contributed the most. In financials, our tilt to non-bank financials, such as Swiss Life Holding AG, an insurance company, and Euronext NV, a financial exchange based in France, aided performance. Both companies are moving away from interest-rate sensitive to fee-based revenues. Industrial contributors were broad based across several regions. Epiroc AB, a Swedish manufacturer of mining equipment, Ashtead Group PLC, a U.K. equipment rental company, MinebeaMitsumi, Inc., a Japanese manufacturer of high-precision ball bearings, and Kingspan Group PLC, an Irish manufacturer of insulated building panels, all contributed.

At the stock level, the worst performing was Equinor ASA, a Norwegian integrated oil company. The stock was impacted by near-term uncertainty over an investment in a North Sea project, which was just coming on stream in the fourth quarter of 2019 and we believe should pay off later in 2019 and into 2020. The stock had not corrected as much as the Brent oil price earlier in the year, so we used the opportunity to trim the holding to reduce exposure. We continued to have strong conviction in the company and will be monitoring how revenues from the new asset start to materialize.

(A) The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of the fund will decline. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. Investments in global/international markets involve risks not associated with U.S. markets, such as currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Investments in developing markets involve greater risks than investments in developed markets.

Transamerica International Small Cap Value

 

 

(unaudited)

 

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

During the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, international equities increased as part of a rebound in global equities. Investor concerns over trade disputes, interest rates and the outcome of Brexit characterized the period. Asia ex-Japan was the top-performing region, while Japan was the worst performing. Sector performance was led by real estate and information technology, while energy and consumer staples were the worst performing.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica International Small Cap Value (Class I) returned 9.84%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index Gross, returned 9.27%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Transamerica International Small Cap Value outperformed the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index led by European holdings ASM International NV and Barco NV. ASM International NV, which supplies semiconductor manufacturing equipment for front and back end processes, reported earnings above expectations alongside strong order intake. The continuation of order strength alleviated analyst fears of a pullback in demand from large chipmakers. Barco NV, a Belgian technology company specializing in digital projection and imaging, benefited from improving margins and revenue growth that led to reported results above analyst expectations. Management also raised full-year guidance twice over the past year.

Stock selection in the Asia ex-Japan region, primarily Pacific Textiles Holdings Ltd. and Great Eagle Holdings, Ltd., detracted the most from relative performance. Pacific Textiles Holdings Ltd., lowered its guidance after experiencing disruption at its Vietnamese factory and margin pressure from rising cost of goods sold. The company’s Vietnamese facilities later returned to production, which improved margins through higher utilization. At period end, we believed the stock was undervalued given its broad, brand-name customer base and significant shareholder returns. Great Eagle Holdings, Ltd., a Hong Kong-based real estate company, declined as political tensions weighed on investor sentiment. We believed the stock traded at an unwarranted discount to the value of its real estate assets as of period end.

Information technology and industrials were top sector contributors due to stock selection. IT was led by previously-mentioned ASM International NV and Barco NV. In industrials, take-outs of Ramirent OYJ and Hopewell Holdings Ltd. drove outperformance. Finnish construction equipment provider Ramirent OYJ received a takeover bid representing a sizable premium from a private competitor. Hong Kong-based infrastructure and property company Hopewell Holdings Ltd. received an offer to be privatized by its management team at a significant premium to its previous share price.

Health-care holdings were a significant drag on relative performance. Japanese dental equipment supplier Nakanishi, Inc. and Japanese pharmaceutical company Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Kaken Pharmaceutical”) were the primary detractors. Nakanishi, Inc. underperformed following a deceleration in revenues and earnings. The company had benefited from Japanese specific demand related to stricter sterilization regulations in the prior year. As this factor faded, Nakanishi, Inc. experienced a slowdown in domestic replacement demand and excess channel inventory with its original equipment manufacturing partners. We believe these issues are temporary and related to the long, four-year product lifecycle. The company’s new product releases should spur replacement demand and expand its addressable market. Despite delivering positive absolute return, Kaken Pharmaceutical lagged other holdings in health care. Many of the company’s older products faced pressure from drug price cuts in the Japanese market. Kaken Pharmaceutical, which has several new drugs set to launch in 2021, initiated a share repurchase program. At period end, we believed shares were undervalued: real estate was another significant drag on relative performance primarily due to sector allocation. Great Eagle Holdings Ltd., mentioned above, was the only sector holding detracting from relative return. The portfolio’s underweight in real estate hindered performance during a period when investor desire for some defensive exposures pushed real estate to be the best-performing sector in the benchmark.

(A) The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index Gross is an equity index which captures small cap representation across developed markets countries around the world, excluding the U.S. and Canada.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Investments in international markets involve risks not associated with U.S. markets, such as currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Investing in small-and medium-size companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with more established companies. The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

International markets were positive over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 despite rising macro concerns. Central banks, governments, and regulators reacted to heightened macro concerns (Brexit, trade wars, economic growth fears, inverted yield curves, etc.) by pivoting from hawkish policies over the second half of 2018 to dovish policies in 2019. For example, since December of 2018, there were 95 global central bank rate cuts and numerous countries also implemented fiscal stimulus policies. These fears presented challenging uncertainties for us and other market participants during the fiscal year. Though challenging in this environment, it is critical to look through the shorter-term noise and focus on the longer-term trends where possible. We sought to maintain a balanced portfolio, positioning the fund to accommodate alternate outcomes and risks.

We expect the macro uncertainty and volatility experienced in 2019 to continue into 2020 as much of the tensions have yet to resolve, and we add the additional uncertainty of the November 2020 U.S. presidential election. While macro concerns and politics can dominate headlines, we believe that economics and earnings ultimately drive long-term asset and portfolio returns. Despite the heightened macro volatility, we remained disciplined and diversified and, as always, continued to avoid trying to time volatile markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica International Stock (Class A) returned 4.59%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 11.63%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

ClariVest employs a strategy of identifying and investing in the securities of firms entering or extending a fundamental growth cycle. We manage this strategy by marrying it with a disciplined approach to portfolio construction. We maintain a balanced profile of growth and value, as demonstrated by a positive exposure to recent earnings growth relative to benchmark, as well as a positive exposure to valuation (via such measures as earnings to price) relative to benchmark.

The fund underperformed its benchmark for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. Top detractors from performance over the period included: stock selection in Switzerland and Japan, stock selection in materials and information technology, and an underweight position in consumer staples.

Bottom stock-level contributors included the Israel-based pharmaceutical company Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Teva”) and the Japanese chemical products manufacturer Showa Denko K.K. (“Showa Denko”). Teva struggled as analysts slashed price targets in the wake of lawsuits surrounding the company’s sales of opioid painkillers. Showa Denko reported results showing a slowdown in hard disk media and graphite electrode demand.

Top contributors included: overweights to Switzerland, strong stock selection within Switzerland and Italy, overweighting the information technology sector, and strong stock selection within financials and utilities.

Top stock-level contributors included Enel SpA (“Enel”), the Italy-based multinational energy company, and NXP Semiconductors NV (“NXP”), the semiconductor company based in the Netherlands. Enel reported results in line with consensus and confirmed guidance for the year as expected. NXP shares gained after the firm beat estimates for the second quarter of 2019 and announced a solid 50% quarterly dividend increase.

(A) The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of the fund will decline. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. Investments in global/international markets involve risks not associated with U.S. markets, such as currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

In the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, U.S. equity markets marked their eleventh consecutive fiscal year gain with the Russell 1000® Value Index advancing +11.21%. There were large variations in performance among sectors, with the strongest being real estate, utilities, and technology. The bottom performing sectors were energy, materials and health care.

The past 12-months were challenging for value investing. Growth stocks continued to outperform as shown by the +17.10% advance in the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Even within the value indices, there was a dichotomy of performance between perceived safety stocks and the contra-momentum stocks that are the hallmark of our investing style.

In the macro environment, the fiscal year was characterized by a gradual deterioration of economic conditions worldwide, especially in manufacturing, that was exacerbated by the trade war between the U.S. and China. As a result, long term interest rates fell, and the yield curve inverted in mid-2019, heightening recession fears. Market psychology began to change in September with improved prospects for a “Phase One” trade deal between the U.S. and China and a slight steepening of the yield curve, along with continued strength in consumer spending, employment, and corporate profits. All this contributed to an improvement in performance of value and contra-momentum stocks.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Large Cap Value (Class A) returned 2.51%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 11.21%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Our method of stock selection uses bottom-up fundamental research to identify quality businesses selling below what we believe they are intrinsically worth and that have catalysts for change that can drive stock prices higher, including management teams that are focused on creating shareholder value through strategic actions and optimal capital deployment. In addition, our contra-momentum strategy seeks to buy companies that are down in price or have significantly underperformed the market averages. The Fund underperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index during the year ended October 31, 2019, primarily due to stock selection, but sector weightings were also a factor.

The sectors in which stock selection detracted most from fund performance over the 12-month period were information technology, utilities and energy. The top detractors in information technology were CommScope Holding Co., Inc. (“CommScope”) and Nokia OYJ, ADR (“Nokia”), while the top detractors in utilities and energy were PG&E Corp. (“PG&E”) and Occidental Petroleum Corp. (“Occidental”), respectively. We continue to hold CommScope, Nokia and Occidental due to their low valuations, prospects for turnarounds, and upcoming catalysts. Conversely, we sold the PG&E position in late 2018 due to its uncertain outlook in resolving its wildfire liability issues.

The sectors with the largest contribution to fund performance were health care and financials. Top names in health care were Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. – Class A (“Bio-Rad”) and AbbVie, Inc. (“AbbVie”), while the top names in financials were American Insurance Group, Inc. (“AIG”), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JP Morgan”) and Bank of America Corp. (“Bank of America”). AbbVie and AIG continue to be among our largest positions, and the fund continues to own Bio-Rad and JPMorgan, while Bank of America was sold on strength after significant appreciation.

Beginning in early September, we saw a significant rebound in relative performance in many of our positions as value and contra-momentum started to recover. As this period substantiated, our portfolios have historically performed best on both absolute and relative bases when markets are more broad-based and less momentum driven, and the recent turnaround is encouraging. We have managed portfolios through many market cycles and have successfully navigated periods of underperformance by staying true to our investment philosophy and process.

(A) The Russell 1000® Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of Russell 1000® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Value approach carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that an undervalued stock is actually appropriately priced. The Fund may be more concentrated than that of a more diversified fund, subjecting it to greater fluctuation and risk.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Equities pulled back significantly in the fourth quarter of 2018 as continued trade concerns prevailed in the markets along with a pullback in technology stocks that were some of the top market performers over recent years. Midterm elections in the U.S. came and went with minimal surprise as the election results of a Democratic-led House majority and a Republican-led Senate were as expected. Consumer retail strength during the beginning of the holiday shopping season was also a positive. December 2018 was volatile as a sell-off gained traction on concerns about the longer lasting effects of the U.S.-China trade dispute as well as the near- and medium-term monetary path of the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”).

First quarter 2019 performance for the U.S. equity market was strong, as markets bounced back on some expectation that the Fed would reconsider its stance on gradual rate hikes given the volatility during December; this was reaffirmed as the central bank stood firm on interest rates. Escalation in the trade tensions between the U.S. and China led to a largely negative market environment for U.S. equities as negotiations between the two countries broke down during May. The third quarter of 2019 was defined by the ongoing trade dispute. U.S. equities rose in October based on positive developments in trade negotiations and an expected rate cut with the Fed’s October meeting. Since a particularly weak September manufacturing report, economic results were mixed in the U.S. With the announcement of a “phase one” part of the U.S.-China trade deal, equities rallied, as this was the most positive development for trade sentiment in some time.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Large Core (Class R4) returned 10.15%. By comparison, its benchmark, the S&P 500®, returned 14.33%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We believe that the most effective way to invest in equities is to categorize stocks according to where they reside in their respective company life cycles, then to let the categorization drive how they are analyzed for investment attractiveness. Through our quantitative framework, we rank companies within fundamentally similar groups of stocks based on six life-cycle stages (three types for growth companies and three for mature companies). Our model quantitatively assesses the attractiveness of each company based on numerous factors that are relevant to each life-cycle category. The model’s 70-plus factors can be aggregated into three equally-weighted clusters: quality, sentiment and valuation.

Transamerica Large Core underperformed its benchmark over the 12-month period. Real estate was the largest detracting sector to performance with Simon Property Group, Inc. and Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. weighing the most. Top-performing sectors were utilities and consumer discretionary. Within utilities, the top contributors were Entergy Corp., which was an average overweight over the period, and having no exposure in Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Based on our proprietary life-cycle categorization approach, mature defensive holdings weighed the most, while mature turnaround names were the best performing. On a model factor cluster basis, valuation detracted the most, although it bounced back somewhat in September and October. Quality and sentiment were relatively flat over the period.

(A) The S&P 500® is a market-capitalization weighted index of 500 large U.S. companies with common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Fund calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the Fund, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Equity funds invest in equity securities, which include common stock, preferred stock and convertible securities. Because such securities represent ownership in a corporation, they tend to be more volatile than fixed income or debt securities, which do not represent ownership.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc.

Large cap growth stocks advanced over the year ended October 31, 2019, with real estate and materials as the best performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Growth index. Energy was the only sector to post a decline and hence was the greatest relative underperformer. Against this backdrop, our team continued to focus on bottom-up stock selection and the long-term outlook for companies owned in the portfolio.

Wellington Management Company LLP

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, posted positive results over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. Towards the end of 2018, volatility was elevated as markets contended with a confluence of moderating growth, tighter liquidity and monetary policy, trade uncertainty, increasing fiscal deficits, and political uncertainty.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its benchmark interest rate in December 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, U.S. equities rallied to their largest quarterly gain since 2009, buoyed by a dovish shift in Fed policy and guidance, optimism for a U.S.-China trade deal, relatively strong fourth-quarter earnings, and corporate buybacks. The Fed left its benchmark interest rate unchanged during the first quarter, signaling a more patient approach toward future policy-rate adjustments in response to slowing economic growth and muted inflation. By the summer of 2019, unresolved U.S. trade frictions with China, Mexico, Japan, and the EU unsettled markets and raised concerns about the potential risks to U.S. economic growth from increasing cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, and waning business confidence and investment plans. In the third quarter of 2019, U.S. equities rose for the third consecutive quarter with the U.S. economy remaining resilient despite elevated geopolitical uncertainties and slowing global growth. U.S.-China trade relations were particularly volatile in the absence of meaningful compromises on key structural issues, and expectations for a protracted trade war and the potential for a longer-term decoupling of the world’s two largest economies has eroded consumer and business confidence and curtailed capital spending. The Fed lowered its benchmark interest rate in July and September in an effort to sustain economic expansion and mitigate the risks of moderating growth and trade frictions. In October, the Fed lowered interest rates for a third time in 2019 and signaled its intention to pause further changes in policy. U.S. and China has made progress towards finalizing sections of a “phase one” trade agreement.

Returns varied by market-cap, as large-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, outperformed small-cap and mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index and S&P MidCap 400® Index, respectively, during the period.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Large Growth (Class R4) returned 15.29%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 17.10%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc.

Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. (“MSIM”) took over the sub-advising of the Fund’s sleeve on October 18, 2019. During the October 21, 2019 to October 31, 2019 period, the sleeve of the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index.

Music streaming services provider Spotify Technology SA contributed to relative performance. Its shares advanced on good results which beat expectations, characterized by strong user growth in emerging markets and continued traction with its podcast offering. Television streaming platform provider Roku, Inc. also contributed to performance. In late October Roku, Inc. announced the acquisition of dataxu, a platform that enables marketers to manage their video advertising campaigns. The acquisition should help the company to provide advertisers with a more robust solution on its platform.

Twitter, Inc., a global communications platform, detracted from relative results. Its shares underperformed on mixed reported results, characterized by better than expected user growth but weaker than expected sales growth and profitability.

Stock selection was weak in the healthcare sector. Illumina, Inc., a leader in genetic testing and analysis, underperformed and detracted from relative results. The company reported better than expected quarterly results, but a somewhat lower than expected outlook due to several transitory items.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

Wellington Management Company LLP

Wellington implements to a disciplined portfolio construction process that allows us to assess risk, weight individual positions accordingly, and in the process, build a portfolio that seeks to generate benchmark-relative outperformance largely via stock selection.

The Fund’s sleeve managed by Wellington Management Company LLP outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

During the period, stock selection within the health care, information technology and industrials sectors helped relative performance. This was partially offset by weaker selection within the consumer discretionary sector. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, modestly contributed to relative performance. The Fund’s underweight allocation to health care and overweight allocation to information technology contributed most to relative performance.

The Fund’s largest individual relative contributors during the period included Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. a semiconductor company, and Seattle Genetics, Inc., a cancer treatment biotechnology company.

The Fund’s largest individual relative detractors during the period included NetApp, Inc. (no longer held in the Fund), a cloud and data services company, Continental Resources, Inc., an American petroleum and natural gas exploration and production company, and GoDaddy Inc., a web hosting company.

(A) The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of Russell 1000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Fund calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the Fund, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Equity funds invest in equity securities, which include common stock, preferred stock and convertible securities. Because such securities represent ownership in a corporation, they tend to be more volatile than fixed income or debt securities, which do not represent ownership.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Equities pulled back significantly in the fourth quarter of 2018 as continued trade concerns prevailed in the markets, along with a pullback in technology stocks that were some of the top market performers over recent years. Midterm elections in the U.S. came and went with minimal surprise as the election results of a Democratic-led House majority and a Republican-led Senate were as expected. Consumer retail strength during the beginning of the holiday shopping season was also a positive. December 2018 was volatile as a sell-off gained traction on concerns about the longer lasting effects of the U.S.-China trade dispute as well as the near- and medium-term monetary path of the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”).

First quarter 2019 performance for the U.S. equity market was strong, as markets bounced back on some expectation that the Fed would reconsider its stance on gradual rate hikes given the volatility during December; this was reaffirmed as the central bank stood firm on interest rates. Escalation in the trade tensions between the U.S. and China led to a largely negative market environment for U.S. equities as negotiations between the two countries broke down during May. The third quarter of 2019 was defined by the ongoing trade dispute. U.S. equities rose in October based on positive developments in trade negotiations and an expected rate cut with the Fed’s October meeting. Since a particularly weak September manufacturing report, economic results were mixed in the U.S. With the announcement of a “phase one” part of the US-China trade deal, equities rallied, as this was the most positive development for trade sentiment in some time.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Large Value Opportunities (Class R4) returned 7.31%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI USA Value Index Gross, returned 11.07%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

We believe that the most effective way to invest in equities is to categorize stocks according to where they reside in their respective company life cycles, then to let the categorization drive how they are analyzed for investment attractiveness. Through our quantitative framework, we rank companies within fundamentally similar groups of stocks based on six life-cycle stages (three types for growth companies and three for mature companies). Our model quantitatively assesses the attractiveness of each company based on numerous factors that are relevant to each life-cycle category. The model’s 70-plus factors can be aggregated into three equally-weighted clusters: quality, sentiment and valuation.

Transamerica Large Value Opportunities underperformed its benchmark over the 12-month period. Real estate was the largest detracting sector to performance with Simon Property Group, Inc. and Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. weighing the most individually within the group. Top-performing sectors were consumer discretionary and materials. Within consumer discretionary, top-performing holdings were AutoZone, Inc. and Nike, Inc., Class B. Based on our life-cycle categorization approach, high-cyclical growth holdings weighed the most, while exceptional-growth companies were the best performing. On a model factor cluster basis, valuation detracted the most, although it bounced back somewhat in September and October. Quality and sentiment were relatively flat over the period.

(A) The MSCI USA Value Index Gross captures large and mid-cap U.S. securities exhibiting overall value style characteristics.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Fund calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the Fund, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that an undervalued stock is actually appropriately priced. The Fund may be more concentrated than that of a more diversified fund, subjecting it to greater fluctuation and risk.

Transamerica Mid Cap Growth

 

 

(unaudited)

 

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, posted positive results over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. Towards the end of 2018, volatility was elevated as markets contended with a confluence of moderating growth, tighter liquidity and monetary policy, trade uncertainty, swelling fiscal deficits, and political turmoil. The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its benchmark interest rate by 0.25% in December. During the first quarter of 2019, U.S. equities rallied buoyed by a dovish shift in Fed policy and guidance, optimism for a U.S.-China trade deal, relatively strong fourth-quarter earnings, and corporate buybacks. The Fed left its benchmark interest rate unchanged during the first quarter, signaling a more patient approach toward future policy-rate adjustments in response to slowing economic growth and muted inflation. By the summer of 2019, unresolved U.S. trade frictions with China, Mexico, Japan, and the EU unsettled markets and raised concerns about the potential risks to U.S. economic growth from increasing cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, and waning business confidence and investment plans. In the third quarter of 2019, U.S. equities rose for the third consecutive quarter with the U.S. economy remaining resilient despite elevated geopolitical uncertainties and slowing global growth. U.S.-China trade relations were particularly volatile in the absence of meaningful compromises on key structural issues, and expectations for a protracted trade war and the potential for a longer-term decoupling of the world’s two largest economies has eroded consumer and business confidence and curtailed capital spending. The Fed lowered its benchmark interest rate in July and September by a combined 0.50% in an effort to sustain economic expansion and mitigate the risks of moderating growth and trade frictions. In October, the Fed lowered interest rates for a third time in 2019 by 0.25% and signaled its intention to pause further changes in policy. U.S. and China made progress towards finalizing sections of a “phase one” trade agreement.

Returns varied by market capitalization, as large-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, outperformed small-cap and mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index and S&P MidCap 400® Index, respectively.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Mid Cap Growth (Class R4) returned 23.05%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, returned 18.93%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Since we began managing the Fund on December 6, 2018 (following a brief transition period from the prior sub-advisor), through the period ended October 31, 2019, the Fund outperformed its benchmark. Relative outperformance was almost entirely driven by positive stock selection. By sector, holdings in information technology, and to a lesser extent, industrials and health care, drove performance. Notable contributors included Global Payments Inc., a provider of payment technology services; Seattle Genetics, Inc., a biotechnology company that specializes in delivering cancer-killing agents directly to tumor cells; and SBA Communications Corp., a real estate investment trust providing wireless communications infrastructure such as cell towers.

Detractors included our positions in Centene Corp., a Medicaid-focused managed care organization; Vail Resorts, Inc., a U.S. based ski resort owner and operator; and Gartner, Inc., an IT research and advisory services company.

In terms of positioning, the portfolio continues to have a meaningful overweight in consumer discretionary funded by underweights in sectors such as consumer staples, materials, financials and industrials, most notably. Over the period, we have added several new holdings, largely in the IT and health-care sectors. We have also eliminated several holdings, a few of which had graduated beyond our mid-cap opportunity set on the back of strong performance.

(A) The Russell Midcap® Growth Index measures the performance of the mid-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of Russell Midcap® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell Midcap® Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2, I3, R and R4 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with return on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks. Investing in small and medium-sized companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with more established companies. The securities of small and mid-capitalization companies are subject to higher volatility than larger, more established companies.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Most U.S. equity markets posted solid double digit returns for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, although it was certainly a bumpy ride. Specifically, December of 2018 witnessed a dramatic sell-off across equities driven by concerns of a global trade war, more restrictive monetary policy, and fears of peak earnings growth. Equities experienced a near mirror image recovery in January, suggesting that December’s weakness may have been exacerbated by tax-loss harvesting. After raising rates in December, the U.S. Federal Reserve turned dovish in 2019 and lowered the target rate three times. This dovish tone supported strong rallies in credit, equities, and Treasuries, although the market continued to oscillate around potential implications from a global trade war, downward trending forward indicators, heightened global growth concerns, and geopolitical risks both in the U.S. and abroad. With this backdrop and despite rising uncertainty, the economy continued to hold up, resulting in the continuation of one of the longest bull markets in history. Broader U.S. equity markets finished the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 on top, led by large cap and growth stocks. Equity markets favored growth across style boxes, with pricier, higher multiple names outpacing those priced at a discount. This leads us to believe investor expectations are high which increases the potential for disappointment and further market volatility. As always, Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC will maintain its disciplined approach to value investing and buy/sell stocks opportunistically irrespective of market fluctuations.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Mid Cap Value Opportunities (Class A) returned 9.64%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, returned 10.08%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, over the period on a gross of fees basis, driven primarily by stock selection. At the sector level, consumer staples and health care led performance. In staples, the portfolio benefitted from strong stock selection across a number of companies. Holdings in US Foods Holding Corp. (“US Foods”), General Mills, Inc. (“General Mills”), and Casey’s General Stores, Inc. (“Casey’s”) made considerable contributions to relative return. US Foods, a food distributor, benefitted from solid earnings driven by gross margin expansion and improved market sentiment on a prior acquisition. General Mills, a branded foods business, moved higher off strong earnings and positive sentiment around the portfolio mix shifting further away from legacy branded cereal and into more niche brands. Lastly, Casey’s, a convenience store and gasoline station operator, benefitted from a favorable gas margin environment and positive execution of their value creation plan. We have since sold the stock into strength. Within health care, the portfolio benefitted from holdings in Dentsply Sirona, Inc. (“Dentsply Sirona”) and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (“Zimmer Biomet”). Dentsply Sirona designs, manufactures, sells, and distributes professional dental products and technologies. The company reported better than expected fourth quarter earnings and provided a positive outlook due to new product introductions. We took advantage of the price increase to eliminate our position in the first quarter of 2019. Zimmer Biomet, a provider of orthopedic reconstructive parts, moved higher off expectations of the roll-out of a robotic knee product and better execution by management in addressing gaps in the product portfolio.

Producer durables and financial services were the main detractors over the period. The portfolio’s underweight to producer durables, particularly machinery, drove the weakness in the sector. For names held in the portfolio, Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity”) and Stericycle, Inc. (“Stericycle”) were the primary detractors. Trinity is a manufacturer of transportation, energy, and construction products, as well as one of the largest railcar lessors in North America. Order deceleration in the rail segment adversely impacted the stock, but we continue to hold the stock as we believe it trades at a discount to the sum of its parts. Stericycle, a medical waste management company, was impacted by pricing pressure in the industry and spend on IT initiatives at the organization.

We exited this position as our risk/reward outlook deteriorated given the rising risk associated with the company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) software implementation and negative trending non-core business fundamentals. Within financial services, our underweight to the sector adversely impacted performance, notably driven by the underweight to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which have been strong due to falling interest rates. Strong stock selection and allocation to insurance companies as well as our bank positioning, however, mitigated the aggregate underperformance in the sector. At the stock level, our holding in Uniti Group, Inc., a telecommunications REIT, was the primary detractor. The company’s largest client filed for bankruptcy earlier in the year after losing an ongoing court case to a distressed debt investor. Our risk/reward outlook deteriorated following the unexpected news and we took advantage of recent price strength to exit the small position.

(A) The Russell Midcap® Value Index measures the performance of the mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of Russell Midcap® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell Midcap® Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2, I3, R, R4 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Investing in mid-sized companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with more established companies. The securities of mid-sized companies are subject to higher volatility than larger, more established companies. The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued many not appreciate as anticipated or may go down. Value approach carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that an undervalued stock is actually appropriately priced.

Transamerica MLP & Energy Income

 

 

(unaudited)

 

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

In energy markets, concerns over a global economic slowdown, potential oversupply in commodity markets, particularly natural gas, and concern about the financial strength of upstream companies resulted in negative sector performance. While the energy infrastructure sub-sector was not immune from these concerns, midstream companies materially outperformed compared to other parts of the energy sector. This was because investors acknowledged that these companies have already implemented many of the reforms, such as reducing leverage, increasing coverage, and funding capital expenditures internally, that the market now demands of upstream companies.

The midstream sector has generated meaningful amounts of free cash flow over the past year as new projects were placed in service, capital spending abated, and production increased. Capital efficiency and shareholder returns have remained an area of focus for investors. Investors have demanded that energy companies generate free cash and increase the amount of capital they return to investors through debt reduction, dividends, and share buybacks. Recent quarterly results have been very good, as large diversified companies announced financial results that easily beat consensus estimates.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica MLP & Energy Income (Class A) returned -0.20%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Alerian MLP Total Return Index, returned 14.33% and -6.36%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Renewable, Canadian, and liquefied natural gas related infrastructure sub-sectors posted the best relative performance, while gathering & processing delivered the lowest relative returns. Fund-specific performance for the fiscal year was predominantly driven by negative contributions attributable to gathering & processing positions, largely offset by positive contributions from our Canadian oil & gas-related positions.

The largest individual contributors to performance during the fiscal year were investments in TC Energy Corp. and Kinder Morgan, Inc. TC Energy Corp., in a turnaround from last year, has demonstrated strong financial performance, while Kinder Morgan Inc., despite recently reported earnings that were mildly disappointing, was lifted by its $1.5 billion sale of its interest in the Cochin pipeline.

Targa Resources Corp. and Antero Midstream Corp. were the primary detractors to performance. Targa Resources Corp.’s processed natural gas volumes increased, however revenue shrank due to the pricing environment. As a sponsor-backed natural gas player in the northeastern U.S., Antero Midstream Corp. came under pressure as the market developed a negative view around the growth prospects of gas producers. While the company reported strong production growth and kept a lid on costs, weaker commodity prices negatively impacted earnings.

Although the Fund has experienced a bit more volatility than expected, we continue to manage the portfolio to favor higher quality midstream and renewable energy companies.

(A) The S&P 500® is market-capitalization weighted index of 500 large U.S. companies with common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ.

(B) The Alerian MLP Total Return Index is a composite of the 50 most prominent energy Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) that provides investors with an unbiased, comprehensive benchmark for this asset class.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would be lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Investing in MLPs involve risks related to limited control, cash flow changes, dilution risks and risk linked to the general partner’s right to require unit holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. The energy industries can be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other government regulations.

The Fund is subject to certain MLP tax risks. As the Fund is registered as a Regulated Investment Company, the Fund does not pay taxes. Changes to government regulations may impact future returns.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Macroeconomic, geopolitical and fiscal-policy events dominated headlines and served as key drivers of market returns. Sentiment swings predominantly stemming from global trade and the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) contributed to market volatility. After raising rates in December 2018, the Fed turned dovish in 2019 and lowered the target rate three times. The 10-year Treasury rate ended the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 at 1.69%, 155 basis points lower than its November 2018 high of 3.24%. Global macroeconomic data generally weakened throughout the year, warranting additional easing measures from many other global central banks. This dovish tone supported strong rallies in credit and equities.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Multi-Asset Income (Class A) returned 11.72%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Transamerica Multi-Asset Income Blended Benchmark, returned 14.33% and 12.71%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The strategy mandates we maintain a significant exposure in high-yield credit to generate the Fund’s primary objective of high current income and to moderate overall portfolio risk. The Fund’s focus on higher quality high yield was additive to performance as lower-rated credit underperformed. The ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield (CCC & Lower) Index returned -2.58% for the 12-month period ended on October 31, 2019, compared to the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield (BB-B) Cash Pay High Yield Index return of 9.84%. The portfolio’s preferred equity allocation detracted from total performance as the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index returned 12.77% for the period.

Within equity, allocations in financial services and energy sectors aided relative performance. In financial services, STORE Capital Corp. was the standout, benefiting from stable fundamentals and declining interest rates. Within energy, Exxon Mobil Corp. outperformed due to additional large oil discoveries driving higher production expectations.

Notable detractors from relative performance among equities were Delta Air Lines, Inc. and Verizon Communications, Inc. Delta Air Lines, Inc. underperformed due to rising cost pressures. Verizon Communications, Inc. underperformed as the company continues to reduce debt, directing cash flow away from equity holders while improving the quality of the balance sheet.

The economic backdrop for the U.S. consumer remains positive, supporting pockets of ‘risk-on’ sectors within equities and high yield bonds. Security selection may gain importance as the bull market matures. However, we believe increased attention needs to be given to overall macroeconomic risks as economic data continues to gradually deteriorate. We will continue to seek out opportunities to increase portfolio quality without sacrificing yield and total return.

(A) The S&P 500® is market-capitalization weighted index of 500 large U.S. companies with common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ.

(B) The Transamerica Multi-Asset Income Blended Benchmark is composed of the following benchmarks: 60% S&P 500® and 40% ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Constrained Index.

(C) The ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Constrained Index tracks the performance of BB and B rated high yield bonds.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would be lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Fixed income investing is subject to credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk. Investing in high-yield securities may be subject to greater volatility and risks as the income derived from these securities is not guaranteed and may be unpredictable and the value of these securities tends to decline when interest rates increases. Preferred stock tends to vary more with fluctuations in the underlying common stock and less with fluctuations in interest rates and tends to exhibit greater volatility.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 began with the prospects of healthy but moderating economic activity and global trade tensions that could potentially derail it. As consumption, fixed investments and government spending growth slowed, so did year-over-year gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. Lower expectations prevailed throughout the year while any lingering optimism was reduced by a tumultuous geopolitical environment. As trade wars between the U.S. and China, and Japan and South Korea intensified, so did their impact on underlying economies.

Risks around trade policy were a concern for the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), which lowered 2019 GDP projections in December. Still, they stayed the course in normalizing rates given continued economic strength, and hiked rates once more in December of 2018. As a result, market expectations on Fed action soured, pricing in no further hike for the entirety of 2019 as a jolt of volatility overtook risk assets. The Fed’s more dovish tone and concerns over an inverted yield curve were top of mind for investors at the start of calendar year 2019. After cutting rates by 25 basis points in July and September, softening economic data and continued below-target inflation gave the green light to the Fed to trim its federal funds rate a quarter of a point at its October meeting.

Despite a rough start and volatility throughout the year, the credit markets performed well, both on a total and excess return basis. U.S. equities and high yield bonds posted their largest quarterly losses at the beginning of the fiscal year, which, when combined with higher volatility, depressed risk-return profiles for the quarter. Losses for investment grade bonds were more muted. As volatility normalized and financial conditions eased, risk assets, led by U.S. equities and high yield bonds, posted positive results in the second quarter. During the third quarter, risk assets and Treasuries posted positive results, led by U.S. equities and investment grade bonds. U.S. risk assets have broadly gained so far in the fourth quarter, led by investment grade bonds and Treasuries. October was risk-on with equities delivering positive returns in the U.S. Investment grade, high yield, and Treasuries also posted modest gains for the month.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.

At the beginning of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, in November of 2018, U.S. equity markets ended up 2.04%, a step upward after the October 2018 sell-off. Intermittent volatility still roiled markets, with questions abounding on the U.S./China trade narrative and whether we have reached peak corporate earnings. Trade tensions briefly eased following the G-20 Summit, where President Trump and China’s President Xi agreed to a short-term truce. The market ended the month of December down -9.03%, correcting again after the decline seen in October. Episodic volatility continued to shake the market, with fears surrounding trade, overextended corporate earnings, and declining global purchasing managers’ indexes (“PMIs”) raising concerns. Despite periodic market shocks, many market and economic indicators still leaned positive, including consumer and small business confidence, wages, and same store retail sales.

The market bounced back in the first quarter of 2019, making up for losses experienced at the end of 2018. After 2018’s large S&P 500® Index price-to-earnings (“P/E”) multiple contraction, from over 18x at the year’s onset to 14x by the year’s end, a considerable amount of risk and uncertainty became priced into the market. While consensus remains that the Fed may keep rates steady, alleviating some recessionary fears, volatility escalated in May with increased tensions surrounding tariffs between the U.S. and China, in addition to proposed U.S. tariffs on Mexico. Investors took risk off the table given new developments in the trade narrative and signs of slower economic growth globally, despite a still generally constructive earnings backdrop in the U.S. Driven mostly by increased hopes of a trade deal between the U.S. and China at the G20 summit, the strong performance in equities provided both relief and hope to investors who piled back into the market and drove the S&P 500® Index to fresh highs during June. Markets moved higher in July, with signs of easing global monetary policy, continuing strength in corporate earnings, and abating trade tensions. Market gains were lost come August, however, with the Fed’s move to cut rates, together with President Trump’s surprise tariff proposal, leading to risk-off sentiment. The market again rebounded in September, accompanied by a dramatic rotation from growth stocks into value stocks.

The market moved higher in October on the heels of September’s rally, with corporate earnings and consumer strength driving the advance. Corporate profits have been solid this third quarter earnings season, with 70% of S&P 500® companies beating bottom-line estimates as of the date of this report. The unemployment rate has remained at record lows, which has helped to sustain high consumer confidence. While trade remains a concern, negotiations have been more constructive lately, with a “Phase One” deal outlined in mid-October. The Fed also showed a more accommodative stance by cutting the federal funds rate by 25 basis points at its latest meeting.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced (Class A) returned 12.53%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, returned 14.33% and 11.51%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC

Over the past year, we continued to remain overweight spread-based assets relative to the benchmark given our views on expected risk-adjusted returns. Securitized credit remained a favored investment opportunity given our solid fundamental outlook and robust structural protections offered by many deals. Within corporate credit, we continued to prefer financials due to strong capital positions and lower expected event risk. Over the year, we became more biased towards shorter-dated credit given what we see as its attractive risk-adjusted return profile compared to longer maturity bonds.

One year relative performance for the portfolio was driven by the overweight to spread-based assets as both carry and spread effects contributed positively to relative returns. Yield curve effects were a detractor given a slightly shorter duration positioning compared to the benchmark as rates fell across the curve over the time period.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

At an asset class level, the portfolio’s allocation to longer duration Treasury securities compared to the benchmark contributed positively to relative returns, as did the portfolio’s underweight allocation to agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and overweight allocation to investment grade corporates. These positives were partially offset by poor security selection in agency RMBS and investment grade corporate credit. An overweight allocation to shorter duration commercial mortgage-backed securities also detracted from returns.

Within corporate credit, allocations to communications and transportation contributed positively to relative returns. Security selection with communications, transportation and real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) were detractors.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.

The industrial cyclical, technology and utilities sectors contributed to performance, while the financials, basic materials and health services & systems sectors detracted from performance.

Within the retail space, an overweight in AutoZone, Inc. contributed to performance. The company demonstrated solid execution against a healthy industry backdrop as it posted solid margins and continued to make progress in the commercial do-it-for-me market. We have remained positive on the stock as we believe that in addition to industry tailwinds, AutoZone, Inc. can continue to grow and consolidate market share. Within technology, our overweight in Microsoft Corp. helped performance as the stock outperformed the market due to strong fundamentals across all segments. Commercial cloud growth drove strong earnings in 2019 and the company increased their revenue guide. We think the company is well positioned for the transition to the cloud with Azure and Office 365. We thus remain positive on the stock. Within pharma/medical technology, an underweight in AbbVie, Inc. boosted returns as the stock underperformed the broader sector. AbbVie, Inc. struggled amid further scrutiny on their Humira business, as the introduction of biosimilars has hurt sales in Europe even more than expected. We remain comfortable in our underweight given these persistent concerns.

Within energy, an overweight in EOG Resources, Inc. weighed on returns. Sector-wide operational fears surrounding Concho Resources well spacing test, which indicated well spacing was too tight, drove the stock down. Investors’ bearish outlook on oil prices further hurt the stock. However, we remain positive on EOG Resources, Inc. as a diversified U.S. shale producer with key assets in areas such as the Permian basin. Within retail our overweight in PVH Corp. weighed on returns as a result of higher tax rates and ongoing tensions in Hong Kong and the U.S.-China trade war. There has been some investor concern around the brand’s relevance as well. However, we maintain our overweight as we believe the company’s brands are durable and that PVH Corp. should be a share gainer in the industry given its ability to expand margins and allocate capital toward accretive acquisitions. Within media, our underweight in Facebook, Inc. – Class A hurt performance. Strong quarterly results throughout the year, largely due to engagement holding up better than expected, drove the stock higher. Advertisers have remained unable to diversify away from Facebook, Inc. – Class A because of the superior return on investment it provides. However, we believe revenue growth may continue to moderate, and margins may keep coming down. Given our view that regulatory and mix-shift risks still remain, we are comfortable in our position.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions added to performance.

(A) The S&P 500® is market-capitalization weighted index of 500 large U.S. companies with common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ.

(B) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would be lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Fixed income securities have several risks including fluctuations in market value, changes in interest rates as the values will decrease as interest rates rise, and issuers defaulting on their obligations to pay interest or return principal.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 began with the prospects of healthy but moderating economic activity and global trade tensions that could potentially derail it. As consumption, fixed investments and government spending growth slowed, so did year-over-year gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth. Lower expectations prevailed throughout the year while any lingering optimism was reduced by a tumultuous geopolitical environment. As trade wars between the U.S. and China, and Japan and South Korea intensified, so did their impact on underlying economies.

Risks around trade policy were a concern for the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), which lowered 2019 GDP projections in December of 2018. Still, they stayed the course in normalizing rates given continued economic strength, and hiked rates once more in December. As a result, market expectations on Fed action soured, pricing in no further hike for the entirety of 2019 as a jolt of volatility overtook risk assets. The Fed’s more dovish tone and concerns over an inverted yield curve were top of mind for investors at the start of calendar year 2019. After cutting rates by 25 basis points in July and September, softening economic data and continued below-target inflation gave the green light to the Fed to trim its federal funds rate a quarter of a point at its October meeting.

Despite a rough start and volatility throughout the year, the credit markets performed well, both on a total and excess return basis. U.S. equities and high yield bonds posted their largest quarterly losses at the beginning of the fiscal year, which, when combined with higher volatility, depressed risk-return profiles for the quarter. Losses for investment grade bonds were more muted. As volatility normalized and financial conditions eased, risk assets, led by U.S. equities and high yield bonds, posted positive results in the second quarter. During the third quarter, risk assets and Treasuries posted positive results, led by U.S. equities and investment grade bonds. U.S. risk assets have broadly gained so far in the fourth quarter, led by investment grade bonds and Treasuries. October was risk-on with equities delivering positive returns in the U.S. Investment grade, high yield, and Treasuries also posted modest gains for the month.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Short-Term Bond (Class I2) returned 5.41%. By comparison, its benchmark, ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate & Government 1-3 Years Index, returned 4.90%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund continued to remain cautious about interest rate volatility over the period and remained focused on identifying attractive risk-adjusted return investment opportunities in spread-based products. The portfolio managers view securitized credit favorably given strong fundamentals and robust structural protections. From a corporate credit perspective, the team remained positive on financials given strong capitalization and expected lower event risk compared to industrials.

Over the period, the largest driver of excess returns was coupon carry given the Fund’s overweight to spread-based assets. Yield curve factors did not impact relative returns as the negative impact of the Fund’s short duration positioning was offset by its relative positioning across the curve and rolldown effects. Credit spread factors were a negligible negative contributor to relative performance, largely attributable to the spread volatility experienced in late 2018.

At an asset class level, the overweight allocation to, and security selection in, investment grade corporate credit contributed positively to relative returns, as did the portfolio‘s underweight allocation to Treasury securities. Detractors included the portfolio’s ex-index allocations to commercial mortgage-backed securities and emerging markets debt. Within corporate credit, security selection in banking and insurance, as well as an overweight allocation to banking, contributed positively to relative performance, while security selection in retail and financial services detracted.

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

*

Percentage rounds to less than 0.1% or (0.1)%.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate & Government 1-3 Years Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated investment grade debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market, including U.S. Treasury, U.S. agency, foreign government, supranational and corporate securities that have a remaining maturity of less than three years and more than one year.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 2.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would be lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The Fund is subject to a variety of risks, including credit risk, inflation risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and liquidity risk. Additional risks include investing in foreign markets and non-investment grade securities. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers and the creditworthiness of the issuers may significant affect the value of the Fund.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. small cap equity investors experienced heightened volatility during the period ended October 31, 2019. The Russell 2000® Index fell substantially at the end of 2018 only to spend the bulk of 2019 climbing back and ultimately finishing the period in positive territory.

The macroeconomic backdrop was volatile during the period as well, with investors focused on topics like trade disputes, interest rates and geopolitical events just to name a few. The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) went from raising interest rates at the end of 2018 to cutting rates in 2019. In addition, there is a substantial amount of government debt around the world that trades at negative yields. Throughout the period the global economy seemed to be decelerating or in a bit of a soft patch, although some developments nearer to the end of the period provided investors some encouragement. Uncertainty was the dominant theme around U.S.-China trade talks, Brexit, and U.S. government policy as the U.S. election cycle got underway in earnest.

For the period as a whole, investors once again favored “growth” stocks over “value “stocks, with the Russell 2000® Growth Index outperforming the Russell 2000® Value Index. Investors also held a strong preference for larger capitalization issues during the period.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Small Cap Core (Class R4) returned -6.44%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500®, returned 4.90% and 14.33%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Academic and empirical research has shown the existence of a number of market anomalies that can be profitably exploited by a disciplined approach to security selection and portfolio construction. We continue to believe that the ultimate strength of the Fund’s strategy lies in our ability to produce a portfolio that, in aggregate, maintains objective and economically-meaningful exposures to the factors that our research has shown to be indicative of prospective outperformance.

The Fund underperformed the Russell 2000® Index for the period as the Fund’s focus on companies trading at lower valuation levels was generally a headwind over the period, given investors’ preference for growth over value.

Relative to the Russell 2000® Index, the Fund was underweight the software industry, which was up over 20% for the period and as a whole trades at a substantial valuation premium to the Fund’s other information technology sector holdings. Investors’ preference for larger capitalization issues also hampered the Fund’s relative performance given the more equal-weighted nature of the Fund’s positions relative to the market capitalization weighting scheme used by the benchmark. Sector allocations detracted from relative performance primarily due to an overweight to the energy sector amid generally falling oil prices over the period.

S&P 500® (B)

(A) The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities of the Russell 3000® Index based on a combination of market cap and current index membership. The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

(B) The S&P 500® is market-capitalization weighted index of 500 large U.S. companies with common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would be lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2, I3, R and R4 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Small capitalization companies may have less experienced management, unpredictable earnings growth, and limited product lines, which can cause their share prices to fluctuate more than those of larger firms. The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline.

Transamerica Small Cap Growth

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

During the first two months of the Fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, the small cap equity market declined. The markets wrestled with a host of concerning events and the resulting sell-off and volatility was both severe and swift. Ranger believed the combination of high equity valuations, continued interest rate increases, escalating trade/tariff rhetoric and deceleration in economic data were the main culprits for the market weakness. This was the worst market sell-off since 2011, and the broad, indiscriminate selling that comes with such a sharp sell-off provided compelling fundamental and valuation opportunities as we entered 2019.

In a near complete reversal, during the first ten months of 2019, equity markets delivered strong performance. This move was due in large part to investor excitement surrounding the end of the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tightening cycle, and to a lesser extent, a recovery from the lows of late 2018. One striking feature of recent markets has been the divergence between large cap and small cap indices. The Russell 2000® Growth Index remains below the highs achieved in August of 2018. Meanwhile, the S&P 500® Index, while also correcting in the fourth quarter of 2018, has steadily advanced throughout 2019 and reached a new high in October.

Over the period, we believe the underperformance by the small cap indices is the result of an economy, both at home and around the world, that is slowing. A quick review of the 30 largest economies globally reveals that most have seen a reduction in their purchasing manager indexes (“PMIs”) over the period, and nearly half have PMIs below 50. We attribute the past year’s volatility and negative relative performance by small cap companies to the deteriorating worldwide macroeconomic environment, which caused small cap earnings to decline more than S&P 500® earnings estimates and also resulted in investors seeking safety by favoring large cap versus small.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Small Cap Growth (Class A) returned 11.11%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, returned 6.40%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund outperformed its benchmark with technology, producer durables and consumer discretionary sectors contributing to performance, while energy and materials & processing sectors detracted.

The Fund’s holdings with durable growth and strong financial profiles continue to demonstrate financial characteristics, namely consistent revenue and earnings growth, above the benchmark.

From an earnings perspective, performance in the benchmark was nearly equal between earning and non-earning companies. However, from a valuation perspective, the benchmark was led by the highest valuation companies across all measures, including price/earnings, price/cash flow and price/sales ratios.

Pegasystems, Inc., a provider of business process management software, was the largest contributor to performance. Over the period, the company reported strong financial results with annual contract value bookings growth. The company has invested aggressively in sales force capacity and branding and is seeing the benefits as evidenced by the strong bookings growth.

Select Energy Services, Inc., Class A, a leading provider of oilfield water supply chain and logistics services, was the largest detractor. While the company has consistently reported quarterly results that were in line with expectations, the stock declined as pricing pressures for oilfield services increased as the U.S. rig count fell over the course of 2019. While Select Energy Services, Inc., Class A is not fully immune from these challenges, we believe their infrastructure and chemicals businesses are more stable than the recent performance in the stock price implies. During the most recent quarter, we took advantage of the weakness to add to the position.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would be lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2, I3, R, R4 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Small capitalization companies may have less experienced management, unpredictable earnings growth, and limited product lines, which can cause their share prices to fluctuate more than those of larger firms. Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with return on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

Transamerica Small Cap Value

 

 

(unaudited)

 

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The market environment for the fiscal year ended October 2019 was marked by two very distinct periods. The first was the massive market sell-off at the end of 2018 which bottomed on December 24, 2018. The second distinct period has been the year-to-date recovery in 2019.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, U.S. large cap and overall growth stocks dominated with momentum stocks doing symmetrically better throughout the market cap spectrum. U.S. small cap value stocks have been out of favor for the past decade and continued to trail over the past year. However, U.S. small value stocks led the market in September 2019 as momentum stocks broke down from high valuations and concerns over delivering on future growth expectations.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Small Cap Value (Class R4) returned 2.57%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, returned 3.22%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund’s strategy focuses on quality companies that are mispriced relative to their sector peers and have a fundamental story that supports a pathway for the name to return to a higher valuation.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the period.

For the past year, favorable selection in the consumer discretionary, retail and healthcare sectors were additive to relative performance. The Fund’s holdings within producer durables sector lagged on a relative basis in the past fiscal year.

Winnebago Industries, Inc., which is a manufacturer of recreational vehicles and towables, contributed to the relative performance over period. In addition, Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (a medical diagnostics firm) and 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. (online retailer of flowers and gifts) also helped performance during the period.

Briggs & Stratton Corp., which is a maker of small engines for both residential and commercial lawncare products, underperformed during the period. Thie was mainly driven by a wetter spring and summer mowing season and from a greater negative sales impact as a result of the Sears bankruptcy.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Small capitalization companies may have less experienced management, unpredictable earnings growth, and limited product lines, which can cause their share prices to fluctuate more than those of larger firms. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “growth” stocks. The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Systematic Financial Management, L.P.

The poor investor sentiment in the final weeks of calendar year 2018 drove stocks sharply lower amid concerns about the economic cycle’s staying power in the face of higher potential tariffs, geopolitical risks, and a then-hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”). Stocks bounced back in the new calendar year, however, with almost the same vigor with which they had fallen. The equity market regained life as U.S. and China seemingly made progress on the tariff front, easing fears of imminent recession. While hopes for a grand deal were dashed in the spring, investors got help from an unexpected source when the Fed reversed course during the summer and initiated a series of interest rate cuts. In doing so, the Fed provided an economic backstop for both the economy and financial markets, and stock prices responded well. In fact, the equity market generally remained buoyant over the rest of the fiscal year, despite continued uncertainty about tariffs and trade.

From a macroeconomic perspective, trends were mixed over the past 12-month period. Corporate business activity was undoubtedly hurt by the trade skirmish with China, as uncertainty about end demand was met by an unwillingness to hold inventory throughout many parts of the global supply chain. On the other hand, strong job growth and lower interest rates aided a stalwart consumer and kept the domestic economic engine chugging ahead.

Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC

Most domestic equity markets posted solid double digit returns for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, although it was certainly a bumpy ride. Specifically, December of 2018 witnessed a dramatic market sell-off, driven by concerns around implications from the global trade war, a more restrictive monetary policy, and uncertainty on whether we have reached peak earnings growth. It also appeared there was a classic end of year tax loss harvesting taking place, as January 2019 witnessed a near mirror image recovery. After raising rates in December 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in 2019 and lowered the target rate several times. This dovish tone certainly supported strong rallies in credit, equities, and Treasuries, although the market continued to move around potential implications from a global trade war. Domestic equity markets in general finished the 12-month period on positve territory, with large cap and growth stocks as the clear leaders.

The economy continued to hold up, albeit with more uncertainty, downward trending forward indicators, and heightened global growth concerns. Political uncertainty also continued to present itself through presidential impeachment inquiries, and the potential binary outcome in the 2020 U.S. elections. With this backdrop, we certainly witnessed further volatility in the markets month to month, but the end result has been the continuation of a strong market despite heightened valuations.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value (Class A) returned 7.63%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, returned 6.10%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Systematic Financial Management, L.P.

In the Fund’s small-cap sleeve, Systematic generally invests in stocks of companies with small capitalizations that are attractively valued. Our security selection process generally favors companies with strong operating cash flow, healthy free cash flow, limited financial leverage and sturdy debt coverage.

The small-cap sleeve outperformed (gross of management fees) its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index driven by favorable stock selection and sector allocation.

On a relative basis, stock selection in industrials and energy contributed to relative outperformance, while those within the information technology and communication services sectors were headwinds during the period. From an allocation perspective, an underweight to the energy sector paid off handsomely in the period, helping to offset the small cap sleeve’s underweight to the strongly performing real estate and utilities sectors.

From a factor attribution standpoint, Systematic’s focus on healthy balance sheets, recurring free cash flows, and strong interest coverage drove significant relative outperformance during the period. Stocks with the highest interest coverage in the Russell 2000® Value Index (by quintile) posted double digit positive average returns in the period, while those with the least interest coverage recorded high-teens average declines, which benefited the small-cap sleeve of the Fund.

STRATEGY REVIEW (continued)

 

Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC

In the Fund’s mid-cap sleeve, Thompson Siegel & Walmsley LLC seeks to invest in companies we believe present a value or potential worth that is not recognized by prevailing market prices or that have experienced some fundamental changes and are intrinsically undervalued by the investment community. Our process uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and is based on a four-factor valuation screen.

The mid-cap sleeve of the Fund outperformed its benchmark (gross of management fees), the Russell MidCap Value Index, during the fiscal year.

At the sector level, consumer staples and health care sectors were top contributors. In consumer staples, the portfolio benefitted from strong stock selection across a number of companies. Holdings in US Foods Holdings Corp. (“US Foods”), General Mills, Inc. (“General Mills”), and Casey’s General Stores, Inc. (“Casey’s”), made considerable contributions to relative return. US Foods, a food distributor, benefitted from good earnings driven by gross margin expansion and improved market sentiment on a prior acquisition. General Mills, a branded foods business, moved higher off strong earnings and positive sentiment around the portfolio mix shifting further away from legacy branded cereal and into more niche brands. Lastly, Casey’s, a convenience store and gasoline station operator, benefitted from a favorable gas margin environment and positive execution of their value creation plan.

In health care, the portfolio benefitted from holdings in Dentsply Sirona and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Dentsply Sirona (no longer held in the Fund) designs, manufactures, sells, and distributes professional dental products and technologies. The company reported better than expected fourth quarter earnings and provided a positive outlook due to new product introductions. Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., a provider of orthopedic reconstructive parts, moved higher off expectations of the roll-out of a robotic knee product and better execution by management in addressing gaps in the product portfolio.

Energy and producer durable sectors were the main detractors over the period.

While the portfolio benefitted from the underweight allocation to the energy sector, our bottom-up selection process has led us to more favorable risk/reward cases in a couple of natural gas companies which have been penalized by both the decline in pricing for the commodity, as well as the market’s heightened demand for free cash flow at any cost. In both cases, our thesis remains, and we continue to hold the respective stocks. In producer durables, we were impacted most by our underweight to the best performing sector over the period, and notably machinery stocks.

Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity”) and Stericycle, Inc. were the primary detractors within producer durables. Trinity, a manufacturer of transportation, energy, and construction products, as well as one of the largest railcar lessors in North America, was impacted due to order deceleration in the rail segment. We continue to hold the stock as we believe it trades at a discount to the sum of its parts. Stericycle, Inc. (no longer held in the Fund), a medical waste management company, was impacted by pricing pressure in the industry and spending on IT initiatives at the organization.

(A) The Russell 2500 Value Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of Russell 2500 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, commonly referred to as “smid” cap.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Shares purchased prior to March 1, 2004 are subject to a maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (2% in the 1st year, decreasing to 0% after 2 years) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would be lower. There are no sales charges on Class I, I2 and R6 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of the Fund will decline. Small capitalization companies may have less experienced management, unpredictable earnings growth, and limited product lines, which can cause their share prices to fluctuate more than those of larger firms. Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock considered undervalued. The prices of securities the sub-adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Spreads came under pressure in the fourth quarter of 2018 amid signs of slowing growth in China and Europe, sharp declines in oil and other commodity prices, weak December equity market performance and a disappointing U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) meeting that offered no flexibility with respect to balance sheet reduction. Treasury rates traded lower across all maturities on the curve.

Credit spreads and other risk asset classes generally rallied in the first quarter of 2019. Investor sentiment improved amid a backdrop of progress on US-China trade talks, stable or better than expected corporate earnings releases and, most importantly, a dovish pivot from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”).

An earnings season that was better than analyst expectations, stable to improving growth conditions in China and globally, and a dovish Fed led to bond prices trading higher in April. This was reversed in May as rhetoric from both the United States and China grew more and more rancorous ahead of June’s G20 Osaka summit and President Trump’s threat to initiate escalating tariffs on Mexican imports in early June. Outside of trade conflicts, investors also had to contend with weaker growth data in the form of lower than expected purchasing managers’ indexes and slower job and wage growth. Chairman Powell and the FOMC turned more dovish in June, stating that uncertainties in the U.S. outlook could call for rate cuts. Throughout the last four weeks of the third quarter, markets rallied in response to this change in narrative, recapturing May’s losses.

Most fixed income asset classes experienced positive total returns during the last four months of the period, despite volatility in equity and Treasury markets. The dovish stance of central banks continued amid concerns related to global growth, particularly in the eurozone, Brexit, and risks of trade war escalation between the U.S. and China. In August, investors saw a reescalation of US-China trade tensions. However, subsequently, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced that various items would be excluded until mid-December. Additionally, the Fed made anticipated 25 basis point cuts in July, September and October. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) also cut rates in September moving further into negative territory and announced a new quantitative easing program to start in November.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Unconstrained Bond (Class I) returned 4.23%. By comparison, its benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar LIBOR 3-Month Constant Maturity Index, returned 2.68%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund has both top-down and bottom-up elements to it. The global mutli-asset team sets top-down targets across all fixed income asset classes with a forward-looking intermediate-term investment horizon of 9-18 months. These targets are expected to be reset 2-6 times per year depending upon the magnitude and frequency of changes in market conditions.

Once given these targets, the fixed income team has flexibility to make tactical adjustments depending on their bottom-up views of market sentiment, valuations and technicals given the backdrop of a shorter investment horizon. Finally, portfolio managers work with analysts in implementing bottom-up credit research and selecting individual issues for the portfolio.

The Fund benefitted most from allocations to asset classes with longer spread and interest rate duration. The three largest contributors from an asset allocation standpoint were contingent convertible and preferred securities, high yield bonds and emerging markets corporate investment grade bonds. Amid sharply lower treasury rates, a hedged duration profile with short positions in treasury futures contracts detracted from performance during the year.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

Duration †

     2.11  

 

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

*

Percentage rounds to less than 0.1% or (0.1)%.

 

^

The Net Other Assets (Liabilities) category may include, but is not limited to, reverse repurchase agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, written options and swaptions, and cash collateral.

 

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

(A) The ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar LIBOR 3-Month Constant Maturity Index represents the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) with a constant 3-month average maturity.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Investing in the Fund entails interest rate risk, pre-payment risk, and credit risk as well as additional risks in that it may invest in high-yield/non-investment grade bonds. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging markets, which carry currency risk if denominated in non-dollar or non-USD and are difficult to trade during periods of stress. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers and the creditworthiness of the issuers may significantly affect the value of a bond. Derivatives involve risks in addition to the risks of underlying securities, particularly counterparty and liquidity risk.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, posted positive results over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. Towards the end of 2018, volatility was elevated as markets contended with a confluence of moderating growth, tighter liquidity and monetary policy, trade uncertainty, increasing fiscal deficits, and political uncertainty.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its benchmark interest rate in December 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, U.S. equities rallied to their largest quarterly gain since 2009, buoyed by a dovish shift in Fed policy and guidance, optimism for a U.S.-China trade deal, relatively strong fourth-quarter earnings, and corporate buybacks. The Fed left its benchmark interest rate unchanged during the first quarter, signaling a more patient approach toward future policy-rate adjustments in response to slowing economic growth and muted inflation. By the summer of 2019, unresolved U.S. trade frictions with China, Mexico, Japan, and the EU unsettled markets and raised concerns about the potential risks to U.S. economic growth from increasing cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, and waning business confidence and investment plans. In the third quarter of 2019, U.S. equities rose for the third consecutive quarter with the U.S. economy remaining resilient despite elevated geopolitical uncertainties and slowing global growth. U.S.-China trade relations were particularly volatile in the absence of meaningful compromises on key structural issues, and expectations for a protracted trade war and the potential for a longer-term decoupling of the world’s two largest economies has eroded consumer and business confidence and curtailed capital spending. The Fed lowered its benchmark interest rate in July and September in an effort to sustain economic expansion and mitigate the risks of moderating growth and trade frictions. In October, the Fed lowered interest rates for a third time in 2019 and signaled its intention to pause further changes in policy. U.S. and China has made progress towards finalizing sections of a “phase one” trade agreement.

Returns varied by market-cap, as large-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, outperformed small-cap and mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index and S&P MidCap 400® Index, respectively, during the period.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica US Growth (Class A) returned 19.17%, excluding any sales charges. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 17.10%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Wellington implements to a disciplined portfolio construction process that allows us to assess risk, weight individual positions accordingly, and in the process, build a portfolio that seeks to generate benchmark-relative outperformance largely via stock selection.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

During the period, stock selection within the health care, information technology and industrials sectors helped relative performance. This was partially offset by weaker selection within the consumer discretionary sector. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, modestly contributed to relative performance. The Fund’s underweight allocation to health care and overweight allocation to information technology contributed most to relative performance.

The Fund’s largest individual relative contributors during the period included Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a semiconductor company, and FleetCor Technologies, Inc., a workforce payment product and services provider.

The Fund’s largest individual relative detractors during the period included NetApp, Inc. (no longer held in the Fund), a cloud and data services company, Continental Resources, Inc., an American petroleum and natural gas exploration and production company, and GoDaddy, Inc., a web hosting company.

(A) The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of Russell 1000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include

any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Public Offering Price (“POP”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A shares and 8.5% for T shares or the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge 1% (in the 1st year) for Class C shares. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect any sales charges. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would be lower. There are no sales charges on Class I and I2 shares.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with return on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks may be particularly susceptible to larger price swings or to adverse developments. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

1. ORGANIZATION (continued)

 

Emerging Markets Debt, Event Driven, High Yield Muni and MLP & Energy Income are “non-diversified” Funds, as defined under the 1940 Act.

This report must be accompanied or preceded by each Funds’ current prospectus, which contains additional information about the Funds, including risks, sales charges, as well as investment objectives and strategies.

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Funds pursuant to an investment management agreement. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Funds. TAM supervises each Fund’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Funds.

TAM currently acts as a “manager of managers” and hires sub-advisers to furnish day-to-day investment advice and recommendations. TAM may, in the future, determine to provide all aspects of the day-to-day management of a Fund without the use of a sub-adviser. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, the design and development of the Funds and their investment strategies and the ongoing review and evaluation of those investment strategies including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for the Funds employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative screens, research, analysis and due diligence; negotiation of sub-advisory agreements and fees; oversight and monitoring of sub-advisers and recommending changes to sub-advisers where it believes appropriate or advisable; recommending fund combinations and liquidations where it believes appropriate or advisable; selection and oversight of transition managers, as needed; regular supervision of the Funds’ investments; regular review and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Funds; regular review of holdings; ongoing trade oversight and analysis; regular monitoring to ensure adherence to investment process; regular calls and periodic on-site visits with sub-advisers; portfolio construction and asset allocation when using multiple sub-advisers for a Fund; risk management oversight and analysis; oversight of negotiation of investment documentation and agreements; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the valuation process; periodic due diligence reviews of pricing vendors and vendor methodology; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the compliance process; respond to regulatory inquiries and determine appropriate litigation strategy, as needed; review of proxies voted by sub-advisers; oversight of preparation, and review, of materials for meetings of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation, and review, of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; oversight of other service providers to the Funds, such as the custodian, the transfer agent, the Funds’ independent accounting firm and legal counsel; supervision of the performance of recordkeeping and shareholder relations functions for the Funds; and oversight of cash management services. TAM uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools to carry out its investment management services. TAM, not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-adviser(s) for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below: to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of the Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in the oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of Fund investments; assisting with Fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds; assisting the Funds in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Funds’ independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities purchased and any realized gains or losses are translated at the prevailing exchange rates in effect on the date of the respective transaction. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include, foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions, gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, and the difference between the receivable amounts of interest and dividends recorded in the accounting records in U.S. dollars and the amounts actually received.

Foreign currency denominated assets may involve risks not typically associated with domestic transactions. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, and possible adverse political, social, and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region.

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend dates, net of foreign taxes. Interest income, if any, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date, net of foreign taxes. Fixed income premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities.

Multiple class operations, income, and expenses: Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class daily based upon net assets. Each class bears its own specific expenses in addition to the allocated non-class specific expenses.

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Foreign taxes: The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by the countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. The Funds may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable when the related income or capital gains are earned or unrealized, and based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions of foreign capital remittances abroad.

Cash overdraft: The Funds may have cash overdraft balances. A fee is incurred on these overdrafts, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the Federal Funds Rate. Payables, if any, are reflected as Due to custodian within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Expenses, if any, from U.S. cash overdrafts are reflected in Custody fees within the Statements of Operations. Expenses, if any, from foreign cash overdrafts are reflected in Other expenses within the Statements of Operations.

Commission recapture: The sub-adviser(s), to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may elect to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which other funds or portfolios advised by TAM have established a commission recapture program. A commission recapture program is any arrangement under which a broker/dealer applies a portion of the commissions received by such broker/dealer on the security transactions to the Funds. In no event will commissions, paid by the Funds, be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds or portfolios advised by TAM, or by any other party.

Commissions recaptured are included within Net realized gain (loss) within the Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2019, commissions recaptured are as follows. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have any commissions recaptured during the year.

Statement of cash flows: GAAP requires entities providing financial statements that report both a financial position and results of operations to also provide a Statement of Cash Flows for each period for which results of operations are provided, but exempts investment companies meeting certain conditions. These conditions may include the enterprise had little or no debt, based on the average debt outstanding during the year, little or no illiquid investments, and little or no investments classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in relation to average total assets. Funds with certain degrees of borrowing activity, typically through the use of sale-buyback financing transactions, line of credit borrowing, short sale transactions, illiquid investments, or Level 3 classified securities have been determined to be at a level requiring a Statement of Cash Flows. A Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared for Event Driven using the indirect method which requires net change in net assets resulting from operations to be adjusted to reconcile to net cash flows from operating activities.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that 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 and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

3. SECURITY VALUATION

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include the Funds’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative instruments.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, using the “practical expedient” have not been classified in the fair value Levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments at October 31, 2019, is disclosed within the Security Valuation section of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is generally greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the determination of values may differ significantly from values that would have been realized had a ready market for investments existed, and the differences could be material.

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

Fair value measurements: Descriptions of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ significant categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Equity securities: Securities are stated at the last reported sales price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Exchange-traded funds (“ETF”): ETFs are stated at the last reported sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the ETF is principally traded. ETFs are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign equity securities: Securities in which the primary trading market closes at the same time or after the NYSE, are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are categorized in Level 1. Because many foreign securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the NYSE, closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, or ETFs and the movement of certain indices of securities based on a statistical analysis of their historical relationship; such valuations generally are categorized in Level 2.

Investment companies: Certain investment companies are valued at the NAV of the underlying Funds as the practical expedient. These investment companies are not included within the fair value hierarchy. Certain other investment companies are valued at the actively traded NAV of the underlying funds and no valuation adjustments are applied. These investment companies are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities lending collateral: Securities lending collateral is invested in a money market fund which is valued at the NAV and no valuation adjustments are applied. Securities lending collateral is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Asset-backed securities: The fair value of asset-backed securities is estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

Commercial paper: Commercial paper is valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Convertible bonds: The fair value of convertible bonds is estimated using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, broker price quotations (where observable), and models incorporating benchmark curves, underlying stock data, and foreign exchange rates. While most convertible bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3.

Corporate debt securities: The fair value of corporate debt securities is estimated using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate debt securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3.

Foreign government obligations: Foreign government obligations are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. Foreign government obligations generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Loan assignments: Loan assignments are normally valued using an income approach, which projects future cash flows and converts those future cash flows to a present value using a discount rate. The resulting present value reflects the likely fair value of the loan. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise are categorized in Level 3.

Mortgage-backed securities: The fair value of mortgage-backed securities is estimated based on models that consider issuer type, coupon, cash flows, mortgage prepayment projection tables and adjustable rate mortgage evaluations that incorporate index data, periodic life caps and the next coupon reset date. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they are categorized in Level 3.

3. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

Municipal government obligations: The fair value of municipal government obligations and variable rate notes is estimated based on models that consider, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-want lists, offerings, market movements, the liquidity of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond or note insurance. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they are categorized in Level 3.

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term notes: A Fund normally values short-term government and U.S. government agency securities using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. Short-term government and U.S. government agency securities generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Government Money Market values all security positions using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

U.S. government agency obligations: U.S. government agency obligations are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs. Generally, agency issued debt securities are valued in a manner similar to U.S. government obligations. Mortgage pass-throughs include to be announced (“TBA”) securities and mortgage pass-through certificates. Generally, TBA securities and mortgage pass-throughs are valued using dealer quotations. Depending on market activity levels and whether quotations or other observable data are used, these securities are typically categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

U.S. government obligations: U.S. government obligations are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government obligations generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Warrants: Warrants may be priced intrinsically using a model that incorporates the subscription or strike price, the daily market price for the underlying security, and a subscription ratio. If the inputs are unavailable, or if the subscription or strike price is higher than the market price, then the warrants are priced at zero. Warrants are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Restricted securities: Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value. Restricted securities issued by publicly traded companies are generally valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities. Restricted securities issued by nonpublic entities may be valued by reference to comparable public entities and/or fundamental data relating to the issuer. Depending on the relative significance of observable valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative instruments: Centrally cleared or listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contracts include forward, swap, swaption, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products are modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case of interest rate swap and option contracts. The majority of OTC derivative products valued by the Funds using pricing models fall into this category and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Loan participations and assignments: The Funds may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers, either in the form of participations at the time the loan is originated (“Participations”) or buying an interest in the loan in the secondary market from a financial institution or institutional investor (“Assignments”). Participations and Assignments in commercial loans may be secured or unsecured. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrowers on

demand. Loan Participations and Assignments involve risks of insolvency of the lending banks or other financial intermediaries. As such, the Funds assume the credit risks associated with the corporate borrowers and may assume the credit risks associated with the interposed banks or other financial intermediaries.

Each Fund, based on its ability to invest in Loan Participations and Assignments, may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent banks and/or borrowers prior to the sale of these investments. The Funds that participate in such syndications, or that can buy a portion of the loans, become part lenders. Loans are often administered by agent banks acting as agents for all holders.

The agent banks administer the terms of the loans, as specified in the loan agreements. In addition, the agent banks are normally responsible for the collection of principal and interest payments from the corporate borrowers and the apportionment of these payments to the credit of all institutions that are parties to the loan agreements. Unless the Funds have direct recourse against the corporate borrowers under the terms of the loans or other indebtedness, the Funds may have to rely on the agent banks or other financial intermediaries to apply appropriate credit remedies against corporate borrowers.

Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Funds to the borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the borrower may demand the unfunded portion. These unfunded amounts are marked-to-market and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are recorded within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have any unfunded commitments during the year.

Open secured loan participations and assignments at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments.

Payment in-kind (“PIK”) securities: PIKs give the issuer the option of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities at each interest payment date. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a “dirty price”) and require a pro-rata adjustment from Total distributable earnings (loss) to Interest within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

PIKs held at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT”): REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income producing real estate, or real estate related loans or interests. Distributions received by REITs are classified at management’s estimate of the dividend income, return of capital and capital gains. Estimates are based on information available at year-end, which includes the previous fiscal year’s classification. The actual amounts of dividend income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the fiscal year end and may differ from the estimated amounts. Upon notification from the REITs, some of the distributions received may be re-classified and recorded as a return of capital or capital gains. There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes, and interest rates.

REITs held at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments.

Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in unregulated restricted securities. Restricted securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

Restricted securities held at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments.

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”): Certain Funds may invest in TIPS, which are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation/deflation. If the index measuring inflation/deflation rises or falls, the principal value of TIPS will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds and notes. For bonds and notes that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

TIPS held at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments. The adjustments, if any, to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to Interest income within the Statements of Operations, with a corresponding adjustment to Investments, at cost within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

When-issued, delayed-delivery, forward, and to be announced (“TBA”) commitment transactions: The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward and TBA commitment basis. When-issued and forward commitment transactions are made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds engage in when-issued and forward commitment transactions to obtain an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction. The Funds engage in when-issued and forward commitment transactions for the purpose of acquiring securities, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.

Delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment by the Funds to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery transactions are outstanding, the Funds will segregate with their custodian either cash, U.S. government securities, or other liquid assets at least equal to the value or purchase commitments until payment is made. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. These transactions also involve a risk to the Funds if the other party to the transaction defaults on its obligation to make payment or delivery, and the Funds are delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When the Funds sell a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses on the security.

TBA commitments are entered into to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date, typically not to exceed 45 days. TBAs are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines, or the value of the security sold increases, prior to settlement date, in addition to the risk of decline in the value of a Fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities. TBA collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction and comparing that amount to the value of the collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover the obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Cash collateral pledged at broker for TBA commitments or Cash collateral at broker for TBA commitments, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is disclosed within the Schedule of Investments. Typically, a Fund is permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral it receives; however, the counterparty is not permitted. To the extent amounts due to a Fund are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, a Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

When-issued, delayed-delivery, forward and TBA commitment transactions held at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments. Open trades, if any, are reflected as When-issued, delayed-delivery, forward and TBA commitments purchased or sold within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Funds may engage in borrowing transactions as a means of raising cash to satisfy redemption requests, for other temporary or emergency purposes or, to the extent permitted by their investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested in other securities or instruments. When the Funds invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Funds will bear the risk that the market value of the securities in which such proceeds are invested goes down and is insufficient to repay the borrowed proceeds. The Funds may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Funds enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Funds’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the Funds’ total assets, minus liabilities other than borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all borrowings. Although complying with this requirement has the effect of limiting the amount that the Funds may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

Interfund lending: The Funds, along with other funds and portfolios advised by TAM, may participate in an interfund lending program pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2017. This program allows the Funds to lend to and borrow from other funds and portfolios advised by TAM. Interfund lending transactions are subject to the conditions of the exemptive relief which place limits on the amount of lending or borrowing a Fund may participate in under the program. Interest earned or paid on an interfund lending transaction will be based on the average of certain current market rates. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds have not utilized the program.

Repurchase agreements: In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security and simultaneously commit to resell that security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Securities purchased subject to a repurchase agreement are held at the Funds’ custodian, or designated sub-custodian related to tri-party repurchase agreements, and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must be collateralized by securities with an aggregate market value greater than or equal to 100% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the securities can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the securities. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented within the Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected within the Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2019.

Repurchase agreements at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Securities lending: Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street serves as securities lending agent to the Funds pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the Funds to risks such as; the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities or may not be able to provide additional collateral, the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the Funds may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge cash collateral with a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities on non-U.S. fixed income investments, as well as on securities traded on U.S. exchanges. Loan counterparties pledge cash collateral with a value of at least 105% of the current value of the loaned securities for non-U.S. equity positions. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Funds in the case of default of any securities borrower.

Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust—Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. By lending securities, the Funds seek to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected in Net income from securities lending within the Statements of Operations and is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2019, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Short sales: A short sale is a transaction in which the Funds sell securities they do not own, but have borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the securities. The Funds are obligated to replace the borrowed securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Funds’ obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale is fully secured by collateral deposited with the custodian. In addition, the Funds consider the short sale to be a borrowing by the Funds that is subject to the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. Short sales represent an aggressive trading practice with a high risk/return potential, and short sales involve special considerations. Risks of short sales include that possible losses from short sales may be unlimited (e.g., if the price of stocks sold short rises), whereas losses from direct purchases of securities are limited to the total amount invested, and the Funds may be unable to replace borrowed securities sold short.

The Funds investing in short sales are liable for any dividends and/or interest payable on securities in a short position and these payables, if any, are reflected as Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds also bear other costs, such as charges for the prime brokerage accounts, in connection with short positions. These costs are reported as Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Operations.

Open short sale transactions at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments and are reflected in Securities sold short, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Funds’ investment objectives allow the Funds to use various types of derivative contracts, including option contracts, swap agreements, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of the Funds’ investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to certain market risks, including:

Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of fixed income securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.

Foreign exchange rate risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in the currency exchange rates.

Equity risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Credit risk: Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Funds.

Commodity risk: Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indices as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to sell or close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligations to the Funds. Investing in derivatives may also involve greater risks than investing directly in the underlying assets, such as losses in excess of any initial investment and collateral received. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

The Funds’ exposure to market risk factors and certain other associated risks are summarized by derivative type as follows:

Option contracts: The Funds are subject to equity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds, with the exception of High Yield Bond and Government Money Market, may enter into option contracts to manage exposure to various market fluctuations. The Funds may purchase or write call and put options on securities and derivative instruments in which each Fund owns or may invest. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask price established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option. The primary risks associated with options are an imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the option contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and an inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms. Options can be traded through an exchange or through privately negotiated arrangements with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded on an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse such as the Options Clearing Corp.

Options on exchange-traded funds and/or securities: The Funds may purchase or write options on ETFs and/or securities. Purchasing or writing options on ETFs and/or securities gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell a specified ETF and/or security as an underlying instrument for the option contract.

Options on foreign currency: The Funds may purchase or write foreign currency options. Purchasing or writing options on foreign currency gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the currency and will specify the amount of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a specified date.

Options on indices: The Funds may purchase or write options on indices. Purchasing or writing an option on indices gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the cash from the underlying index. The exercise of the option will result in a cash transfer and gain or loss depends on the change in the underlying index.

Options on futures: The Funds may purchase or write options on futures. Purchasing or writing options on futures gives the Funds the right, but not obligation to buy or sell a position on a futures contract at the specified option exercise price at any time during the period of the option.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

Interest rate swaptions: The Funds may purchase or write interest rate swaption agreements which are options to enter into a pre-defined swap agreement by some specific date in the future. The writer of the swaption becomes the counterparty to the swap if the buyer exercises. The interest rate swaption agreement will specify whether the buyer of the swaption will be a fixed-rate receiver or a fixed-rate payer upon exercise.

Purchased options: Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds pay premiums, which are included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid from options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss.

Written options: Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing put options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Funds write a covered call or put option, the premium received is recorded as a liability within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from written options which expire unexercised are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Funds could result in the Funds selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current market value.

Open option contracts at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments. The value of purchased option contracts, as applicable, is shown in Investments, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of written option contracts, as applicable, is shown in Written options and swaptions, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap agreements: Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to exchange or swap investments, cash flows, assets, foreign currencies, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements can be executed in a bilateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction or executed on a regular market. Certain swaps regardless of the venue of execution are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“centrally cleared swap agreements”). Centrally cleared swap agreements listed or traded on a multilateral platform, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the corresponding exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swap agreements the clearing exchange requires all members to provide applicable levels across complete term levels. Centrally cleared interest rate swap agreements are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates including but not limited to the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to calculate the daily settlement price. The Funds, with the exception of Government Money Market, may enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, including contracts for difference (“CFD”), and other forms of swap agreements to manage exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, and commodity risks. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Centrally cleared swap agreements are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors, which may include a registered exchange, or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as Variation margin receivable (payable) on centrally cleared swap agreements within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For OTC swap agreements, payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected in OTC swap agreements, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreements to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Additionally, these upfront payments, as well as any periodic payments received or paid by the Fund, including any liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap are recorded as part of Net realized gain (loss) on swap agreements within the Statements of Operations.

Interest rate swap agreements: The Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Because the Funds hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk, the Funds enter into interest rate swap agreements. Under an interest rate swap agreement, two parties will exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. Funds with interest rate agreements can elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate, on a notional principal amount. The risks of interest rate swap agreements include changes in market conditions which will affect the value of the contract or the cash flows, and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparties over the contracts’ remaining lives, to the extent that amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

Total return swap agreements: The Funds are subject to commodity risk, equity risk, and other risks related to the underlying investments of the swap agreement, including CFDs, in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The value of the commodity-linked investments held by the Funds can be affected by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of particular industries or commodities, such as weather, disease, embargoes, acts of war or terrorism, or political and regulatory developments. Commodity-linked derivatives are available from a relatively small number of issuers, subjecting a Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivatives to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the commodity-linked derivative will not fulfill its contractual obligations. Total return swap agreements on commodities involve commitments whereby cash flows are exchanged based on the price of a commodity in exchange for either a fixed or floating price or rate. One party would receive payments based on the market value of the commodity involved and pay a fixed amount. Total return swap agreements on indices involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One counterparty pays out the total return of a specific reference entity, which may be an equity, index, or bond, and in return receives a regular stream of payments.

Open centrally cleared swap agreements and open OTC swap agreements at October 31, 2019, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts: The Funds are subject to equity and commodity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities and commodities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or in securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid or received by the Funds, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds bear the risk of equity and commodity prices, interest rates, or exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize losses. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Open futures contracts at October 31, 2019, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments. Variation margin, if applicable, is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds are subject to foreign exchange rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds, with the exception of Government Money Market, may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, Bond utilizes forward foreign currency contracts for speculative purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily, with the change in value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss and is shown in Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are settled, a realized gain or loss is incurred and is shown in Net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency contracts within the Statements of Operations. Risks may arise from changes in market value of the underlying currencies and from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Open forward foreign currency contracts at October 31, 2019, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments.

The following is a summary of the location and each Fund’s fair values of derivative investments disclosed, if any, within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by primary market risk exposure as of October 31, 2019. Funds not listed in the subsequent tables do not have direct exposure to derivative investments during the year.

The applicable Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar master agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with their contract counterparties for certain OTC derivatives in order to, among other things, reduce credit risk to counterparties.

ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain OTC derivative financial instruments payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default, termination and/or potential deterioration in the credit quality of the counterparty.

Various Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties and typically attempt to reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Cross-termination provisions under Master Agreements typically provide that a default in connection with one transaction between the Funds and a counterparty gives the non-defaulting party the right to terminate any other transactions in place with the defaulting party to create one single net payment due to/due from the defaulting party and may be a feature in certain Master Agreements. In the event the Funds exercise their right to terminate a Master Agreement after a counterparty experiences a termination event as defined in the Master Agreement, the return of collateral with market value in excess of the Funds’ net liability may be delayed or denied.

6. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

Collateral requirements: Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange-traded derivatives (futures contracts, exchange-traded options, and exchange-traded swap agreements) while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (forward foreign currency exchange contracts, OTC options, and OTC swap agreements). For OTC derivatives, under standard derivatives agreements, a Fund may be required to pledge collateral on derivatives to a counterparty if the Fund is in a net liability position, and receive collateral if in a net positive position. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged by a Fund to cover obligations, if any, is reported in Cash collateral at broker within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cash collateral that has been received by a Fund from a counterparty, if any, is reported separately in Cash collateral pledged at custodian and/or broker within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral pledged to each Fund, if any, is disclosed within the Schedule of Investments.

Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has been made. Typically a counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. The Fund generally does not use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, interest may be paid pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty.

To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Additionally, to the extent the Fund has delivered collateral to a counterparty, the Fund bears the risk of loss from a counterparty in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral. Counterparties may immediately terminate derivatives contracts if a Fund fails to maintain sufficient asset coverage for its contracts or its net assets decline by stated percentages. Collateral may not be required for all derivative contracts.

The following is a summary of the Funds’ OTC derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of October 31, 2019. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset assets and liabilities that are subject to a master netting agreement or similar arrangement on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. See the Repurchase agreement section within the notes for offsetting and collateral information pertaining to repurchase agreements that are subject to master netting agreements. Funds not listed in the subsequent tables do not have master netting agreements for open derivative positions during the year.

7. RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Funds involves certain key risks related to the Funds’ trading activity. Please reference the Funds’ prospectuses for a more complete discussion of the following risk(s), as well as other risks of investing in the Funds.

Emerging market risk: Investments in the securities of issuers located in or principally doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards that are less fully developed, and that can be expected to be less stable. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Emerging market securities are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility. A Fund may be required to establish special custody or other arrangements before investing in emerging market countries. An investment in emerging market securities should be considered speculative.

Fixed income risk: The value of fixed income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by a Fund fall, the value of your investment will go down. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. Interest rates have been at historically low levels in the U.S., so a Fund faces a heightened risk that interest rates may rise. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities.

Foreign investment risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risk. Foreign countries in which a Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of a Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, political or financial instability or other adverse economic or political developments. Lack of information and weaker accounting standards also may affect the value of these securities.

Government money market fund risk: Government Money Market operates as a “government” money market fund under applicable federal regulations. The Fund continues to use the special pricing and valuation conventions that currently facilitate a stable share price of $1.00, although there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain a $1.00 share price. The Fund does not currently intend to avail itself of the ability to impose “liquidity fees” and/or “redemption gates” on fund redemptions, as permitted under the applicable regulations. However, the Board reserves the right, with notice to shareholders, to change this policy, thereby permitting the Fund to impose such fees and gates in the future.

Growth risk: Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

High-yield debt risk: High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or, if unrated, determined to be below investment grade by the sub-adviser. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and may be more difficult to value than higher grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to adverse events, credit downgrades and negative sentiments.

Inflation-protected security risk: Inflation-protected debt securities may react differently from other types of debt securities and tend to react to changes in “real” interest rates. Real interest rates represent nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security can fall when real interest rates rise, and can rise when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities can be unpredictable and will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation. Also, the inflation index utilized by a particular inflation-protected security may not accurately reflect the true rate of inflation, in which case the market value of the security could be adversely affected.

7. RISK FACTORS (continued)

 

LIBOR Risk: Many financial instruments, financings or other transactions to which the Fund may be a party use or may use a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is widely used in financial markets. In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s financial regulatory body announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. That announcement suggests that LIBOR may cease to be published or utilized after that time. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for that transition, but the effect of the transition process and its ultimate success cannot yet be determined. The transition process may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments the terms of which are based on LIBOR. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based investments. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021. The willingness and ability of issuers to include enhanced provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments also remains uncertain. Any of these factors may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or NAV.

Master limited partnership (“MLP”) risk: Investments in MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in corporate issuers, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, certain tax risks, and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. MLP entities are typically focused in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors of the economy could have an adverse impact on a Fund. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. The yields for equity and debt securities of MLPs and other issuers in the energy sector are susceptible in the short-term to fluctuations in interest rates and the value of a Fund’s investments in such securities may decline if interest rates rise. The value of a Fund’s investment in MLPs depends to a significant extent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If an MLP does not meet the legal requirements to maintain partnership status, it could be taxed as a corporation and there could be a material decrease in the value of its securities.

Mortgage-related and asset-backed security risk: The value of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities may be issued by private issuers, by government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or by agencies of the U.S. government, such as Ginnie Mae. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Unlike mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. government or government-sponsored entities, mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers do not have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee (but may have other credit enhancement), and may, and frequently do, have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics. Asset-backed securities represent participations in, or are secured by and payable from, assets such as installment sales or loan contracts, leases, credit card receivables and other categories of receivables. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support the securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or call and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets. The risk of default is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less information available than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, a fund or portfolio may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss.

Municipal security risk: The municipal bond market can be susceptible to unusual volatility, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can be reduced unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Municipal issuers may be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. Unfavorable conditions and developments relating to projects financed with municipal securities can result in lower revenues to issuers of municipal securities, potentially resulting in defaults. Issuers often depend on revenues from these projects to make principal and interest payments. The value of municipal securities can also be adversely affected by changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers or insurers of municipal issuers, regulatory and political developments, tax law changes or other legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. To the extent a fund invests significantly in a single state or in securities the payments on which are dependent upon a single project or source of revenues, or that relate to a sector or industry, a fund will be more susceptible to associated risks and developments. Municipal issuers may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. In recent periods an increasing number of municipal issuers have defaulted on obligations, commenced insolvency proceedings, or suffered credit downgrading. Financial difficulties of municipal issuers may continue or worsen.

7. RISK FACTORS (continued)

 

A fund may invest in municipal securities of issuers in Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or other U.S. territories, which are exempt from federal, state, and, where applicable, local income taxes. These municipal securities may have more risks than tax-exempt securities issued by other issuers due to the political, social and/or economic conditions in the particular territory. To the extent a fund holds any municipal securities of issuers in Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or other U.S. territories, a fund may lose some or all of the value of those investments.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) and real estate risk: Investing in real estate investment trusts “REITs” involves unique risks. When a Fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to a Fund.

Small and medium capitalization risk: Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than larger capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. The prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of larger capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected than large capitalization companies by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.

8. FEES AND OTHER AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

TAM is permitted to recapture amounts contractually waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the thirty-six months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class. A class may recapture and reimburse TAM only if such amount does not cause, on any particular business day of the Fund, the class’s total annual operating expenses (after the recapture is taken into account) to exceed the Operating Expense Limits or any other lower limit then in effect. Amounts recaptured, if any, by TAM for the year ended October 31, 2019 are disclosed in Recapture of previously waived and/or reimbursed fees within the Statements of Operations.

TAM, on a voluntary basis and in addition to the contractual waivers in effect from time to time may waive and/or reimburse expenses of the Funds, or any classes thereof, to such level(s) as the Trust’s officers have determined or may reasonably determine from time to time. Any such waiver or expense reimbursement may be discounted by TAM at any time. These amounts are not subject to recapture by TAM.

For the years ended October 31, 2017, October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019, the balances available for recapture by TAM for each Fund are as follows. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have balances available for recapture during the year. Government Money Market is discussed in further detail in proceeding notes and tables:

Reimbursement is not permitted if it would result in a negative yield, but amounts recaptured in certain cases have exceeded the expense limit under the contractual expense arrangement. TAM is developing a plan to address voluntary yield waiver amounts previously recaptured in excess of the contractual expense limits.

Waived and/or reimbursed expenses related to the maintenance of yield are included in Expenses waived and/or reimbursed and amounts recaptured by TAM under the voluntary yield waiver are included in Recapture of previously waived and/or reimbursed fees, both within the Statements of Operations. The actual expense ratio of each class of Government Money Market, including any amounts waived and/or reimbursed and any amounts recaptured under the voluntary yield waiver, are shown in the Ratio and supplemental data section within the Financial Highlights.

For the years ended October 31, 2017, October 31, 2018 and October 30, 2019, the amounts waived by TAM due to the maintenance of the yield are as follows:

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

The Funds have not made any provision 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. The Funds’ tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities three years from the date of filing for federal purposes and four years from the date of filing for state purposes. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in relation to interest and penalties expense in Other within the Statements of Operations. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; 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.

Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, interest written off, passive foreign investment companies, preferred securities, preferred stock interest accrual adjustments, TIPS, defaulted bonds, corporate action adjustments, premium amortization adjustments, non-real estate investment trust adjustments, organizational expenses, dividends payable, partnership basis adjustments, option contracts, forward contracts mark-to-market, futures contracts mark-to-market and straddle loss deferral from underlying investments. 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 reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. The primary permanent differences are due to wash sales from mergers, passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency gains and losses, paydown gain/loss, distribution re-designations, adjustment to prior year accumulated balances, real estate and non-real estate investment trust adjustments, prior year real estate investment trust and non-real estate investment trust reversals, convertible preferred stock interest accruals, defaulted bonds, corporate action adjustments, equalization, basis adjustments due to prior mergers, net operating losses, premium bond adjustments, distributions in excess of current earnings, partnership basis adjustments, merger adjustments and TIPS adjustments. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These permanent reclassifications are as follows:

11. RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts prior to November 1, 2015, have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. The Trust concluded that it was appropriate to reclassify certain borrowing costs, which relate to charges from a broker for securities sold short positions, as an expense which is included in Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Operations. Previously, the borrowing costs had been included in Net realized gain (loss) on securities sold short within the Statements of Operations. Corresponding reclassifications have been made to Net investment income (loss) per share, Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share and Expenses to average net asset ratios within the Financial Highlights. The impact of the reclassification is an increase to realized gain (loss) and total expenses, and a decrease in net investment income. All impacted amounts, as identified within the Financial Highlights, have been adjusted for purposes of comparability.

12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”), “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities”. ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional requirements and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820: Disclosure Framework), Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not eliminate the requirement to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, or the reporting of changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated and has early adopted the disclosure requirements and the impact is reflected within the Funds’ financial statements.

14. REORGANIZATIONS

US Growth: Following the close of business on August 2, 2019, US Growth acquired all of the net assets of Transamerica Multi-Cap Growth (“Multi-Cap Growth”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization. US Growth is the accounting survivor. The purpose of the transaction was to achieve operating efficiencies and a more cohesive, focused, and streamlined fund complex. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of US Growth for shares of Multi-Cap Growth outstanding following the close of business on August 2, 2019. The cost basis of the investments received from Multi-Cap Growth was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the US Growth’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

Shares issued to Multi-Cap Growth shareholders, along with the exchange ratio of the reorganization for US Growth, were as follows:

Additionally, following the close of business on October 18, 2019, US Growth acquired all of the net assets of Transamerica Concentrated Growth (“Concentrated Growth”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization. US Growth is the accounting survivor. The purpose of the transaction was to achieve operating efficiencies and a more cohesive, focused, and streamlined fund complex. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of US Growth for shares of Concentrated Growth, outstanding following the close of business on October 18, 2019. The cost basis of the investments received from Concentrated Growth was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the US Growth’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

Assuming the Multi-Cap Growth reorganization had been completed on November 1, 2018, the beginning of the annual reporting period of US Growth, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, are as follows:

 

Net investment income (loss)

Assuming the Concentrated Growth reorganization had been completed on November 1, 2018, the beginning of the annual reporting period of US Growth, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, are as follows:

 

Net investment income (loss)

  $ (1,879,864

Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss)

    285,774,270  

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations

    283,894,406  

Assuming the two reorganizations had been completed on November 1, 2018, the beginning of the annual reporting period of US Growth, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, are as follows:

 

Net investment income (loss)

  $ (1,660,213

Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss)

    250,562,127  

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations

    248,901,914  

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization were completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Multi-Cap Growth or Concentrated Growth that have been included in US Growth’s Statement of Operations following the close of business on August 2, 2019, and October 18, 2019, respectively.

Capital Growth: Following the close of business on October 18, 2019, Capital Growth acquired all of the net assets of Transamerica Growth (“Growth”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization. Capital Growth is the accounting survivor. The purpose of the transaction was to achieve operating efficiencies and a more cohesive, focused, and streamlined fund complex. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of Capital Growth for shares of Growth outstanding following the close of business on October 18, 2019. The cost basis of the investments received from Growth was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Capital Growth’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

15. CUSTODY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

In December 2015, State Street, the Funds’ custodian, identified inconsistencies in the way in which clients were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed out-of-pocket costs, during an 18-year period going back to 1998. The issue was the result of inaccurate billing rates that were not subsequently reviewed or adjusted. The amount of the difference in what was charged and what should have been charged, plus interest, was paid back to the Funds in September 2016 as a reimbursement. The amounts applicable to each Fund, if any, were recognized as a change in accounting estimate and are reflected as a reimbursement of custody fees. This resulted in a decrease in net expenses and an overall increase in net assets. Please reference the Financial Highlights for additional information in regards to the per share impact.

16. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 27, 2018, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (“AUIM”) and Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that resolved an investigation into asset allocation models and volatility overlays utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to certain Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds, and related disclosures. TAM and TCI serve as investment manager and principal underwriter, respectively, to Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds. TCI also serves as the principal underwriter to the variable life insurance and annuity products through which certain Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds are offered. AUIM, an affiliate of TAM and TCI, serves as sub-adviser to a number of Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds.

The SEC’s order instituting administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings (the “Order”) pertains to events that occurred during the period between July 2011 and June 2015, and, among other things, the operation and/or implementation of an asset allocation model utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to certain Transamerica tactical funds and asset allocation funds, the designation of the portfolio manager for certain of these funds as well as the operation and/or implementation of volatility overlays utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to the asset allocation funds. The Order also states that the parties failed to make appropriate disclosures regarding these matters, including in marketing materials, and failed to have adequate compliance policies and procedures. AUIM ceased to serve as sub-adviser to the Transamerica tactical funds on April 30, 2015 and to the Transamerica asset allocation funds on June 30, 2015.

Under the terms of the Order, AUIM, TAM and TCI were censured, and agreed, without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain statutory provisions and SEC rules. AUIM agreed to pay civil penalties of $21,000,000, $24,599,896 in disgorgement and $3,682,195 in prejudgment interest. TAM agreed to pay civil penalties of $10,500,000, $15,000,000 in disgorgement and $2,235,765 in prejudgment interest. TCI agreed to pay civil penalties of $4,000,000, $12,000,000 in disgorgement and $1,826,022 in prejudgment interest. The amounts paid in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties have been deposited into a Fair Fund for distribution to affected investors. Affected investors are those who purchased or held the relevant mutual funds, variable life insurance and annuity investment portfolios and separately managed account strategies during the period between July 2011 and June 2015. The Order states that these investors are to receive from the Fair Fund the pro rata fees and commissions paid by them during that period, subject to any de minimis threshold.

16. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (continued)

 

The settlement does not impose any restrictions on the business or continued ability of AUIM, TAM or TCI to serve the funds.

The foregoing is only a brief summary of the Order. A copy of the Order is available on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov.

The funds are affected by many factors and risks: for example, the risk that the sub-advisers’ judgments and investment decisions, and methods, tools, resources, information, models and analyses utilized in making investment decisions, are incorrect or flawed, do not produce the desired results, and cause the funds to lose value. See “Principal Risks” in the prospectus.

The Order and settlement has no impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement, each Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2020.

Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Fund, and knowledge they gained over time through meeting with TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser. Among other materials, the Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser. In their review, the Trustees also sought to identify Funds for which the performance, fees, total expenses and/or profitability appeared to be outliers within their respective peer groups or other comparative metrics, and sought to understand the reasons for such comparative positions.

In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met privately without representatives of TAM, any Sub-Adviser, or the Sub-Sub-Adviser present and were represented throughout the process by their independent legal counsel. In considering the proposed continuation of each of the Agreements, the Trustees evaluated and weighed a number of considerations that they believed to be relevant in light of the legal advice furnished to them by counsel, including independent legal counsel, and made a decision in the exercise of their own business judgment. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any particular consideration or item of information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser to the applicable Fund in the past and the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board also considered the investment approach for each Fund; the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management; the financial resources of TAM; TAM’s management oversight process; TAM’s, each Sub-Adviser’s, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser’s responsiveness to any questions by the Trustees; and the professional qualifications and compensation program of the portfolio management team of each Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser. The Trustees noted that they receive, on a quarterly basis, an execution analysis from Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (CAPIS), an independent provider of trade analyses, for each applicable Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser, and a comparison of trading results against a peer universe of managers.

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM, when acting as a manager of managers, for the portion of the management fee it retains from each Fund after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Fund and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment

sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Funds; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Funds; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Funds’ prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; and ongoing cash management services for the Funds. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to each Fund. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Funds, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder service functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Broadridge, and (ii) the Fund’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2018. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the applicable Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. The Board’s conclusions as to performance are summarized below. In describing a Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize performance for the relevant periods in relation to whether it was “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, performance is described as “above” the median if a Fund’s performance ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise return was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median return).

When considering each Fund’s performance, the Trustees considered any representations made by TAM regarding the appropriateness of certain peer groups and benchmarks. They recognized that performance reflects a snapshot of a period as of a specific date, and that consideration of performance data for a different period could generate significantly different performance results. The Trustees also recognized that even longer-term performance can be negatively affected by performance over a short-term period when that short-term performance is significantly below the performance of the comparable benchmark or universe of peer funds.

Transamerica Balanced II. The Board noted that the performance of Class R Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R shares of the Fund was above its primary benchmark for the past 1-year period and below its primary benchmark for the past 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s equity sub-adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., had commenced subadvising that portion of the Fund on July 9, 2010 pursuant to its current equity investment strategies. The Board also noted that the Fund’s fixed income sub-adviser, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC, had commenced subadvising that portion of the Fund on May 1, 2014 pursuant to its current fixed income investment strategies. The Trustees noted that the Fund had acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of two Transamerica Partners funds on September 15, 2017. As a result of that transaction, and based on published guidance from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund had assumed the performance history of the performance survivor, Transamerica Partners Balanced, effective as of that date in place of its own historical performance record.

Transamerica Bond. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 3- and 5-year periods and below its benchmark for the past 1-year period.

Transamerica Capital Growth. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe and above its benchmark, each for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s sub-adviser had commenced subadvising the Fund on March 22, 2011 pursuant to its current investment strategies.

Transamerica Dividend Focused. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was below the median for its peer universe and below its benchmark, each for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Trustees discussed the reasons for the underperformance with TAM and TAM agreed to continue to closely monitor and report to the Board on the performance of the Fund. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during the first quarter of 2019.

Transamerica Dynamic Allocation. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 5-year periods and in line with the median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the

Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt. The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 3-year period, in line with the median for the past 5-year period and below the median for the past 1-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 3-year period and below its benchmark for the past 1- and 5-year periods.

The Board also noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was below its benchmark for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods.

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund, including information provided by Broadridge comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund to the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Broadridge. The Board’s conclusions as to management fees and total expense ratios are summarized below. In describing a Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio relative to its peer group and peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize management fees and total expense ratios for the relevant periods in relation to whether they were “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer group or peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, management fees and total expense ratios are described as “above” the median if a Fund’s management fee or total expense ratio ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise management fee or total expense ratio was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median management fee or total expense ratio).

The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services and sub-sub-advisory services, as well as the portion of a Fund’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee(s) and sub-sub-advisory fees, and how the portion of the contractual management fee retained by TAM at a specified asset level compared to the portions retained by other investment advisers managing mutual funds with similar investment strategies as calculated by an independent provider of information.

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

(unaudited)

 

Transamerica US Growth. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I Shares of the Fund were above the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe. The Trustees noted that they had approved a reduction to the Fund’s management fee schedule in March 2019 that would take effect August 2019. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the management, sub-advisory fees, and sub-sub-advisory fee to be received by TAM, the Sub-Advisers, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser under the Management Agreement, each Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

The Board reviewed information provided by TAM about the cost of providing and procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration, transfer agency and other services, to each Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Fund and Transamerica Funds as a whole. The Trustees recognized the competitiveness of the mutual fund industry and the importance of an investment adviser’s long-term profitability, including for maintaining company and management stability and accountability.

The Board also considered the allocation methodology used for calculating the profitability of TAM and its affiliates. The Board noted that the revenue and expense allocation methodology used by TAM to estimate its profitability with respect to its relationship with the Funds had been reviewed previously by an independent consultant. The Trustees considered that TAM reported that it had not made material changes to this methodology, and that the methodology had been applied consistently for each Fund.

With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and the applicable Sub-Adviser, which is not affiliated with TAM (with the exception of those fees paid to Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (“AUIM”), which is affiliated with TAM), and are paid by TAM and not the applicable Fund. As a result, for those Funds not sub-advised by AUIM, the Board focused on the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to the applicable Fund. For each Fund sub-advised by AUIM, the Board noted that information about AUIM’s revenues and expenses was incorporated into the profitability analysis for TAM and its affiliates with respect to each Fund. As a result, the Board focused on profitability information for TAM and its affiliates and AUIM in the aggregate.

Based on this information, the Board determined that the profitability of TAM and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds was not excessive.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether the Fund had appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there was the potential for realization of any future economies of scale. The Board also considered the existence of economies of scale with respect to management of the Transamerica mutual funds overall and the extent to which the Funds benefited from any economies of scale. The Board recognized that, as a Fund’s assets increase, any economies of scale realized by TAM, a Sub-Adviser, or the Sub-Sub-Adviser may not directly correlate with each other or with any economies of scale that might be realized by the Fund. The Board considered each Fund’s management fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and also considered the extent to which TAM shared economies of scale, if any, with the Funds through undertakings to limit or reimburse Fund expenses and to invest in maintaining and developing its capabilities and services. The Board also considered each Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee schedule and the Sub-Sub-Adviser’s sub-sub-advisory fee schedule, and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and how such breakpoints relate to any breakpoints in the applicable Fund’s management fee schedule. The Board considered that certain Funds’ sub-advisory fees would be based on the combined assets of multiple funds. The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s fee structure reflected an appropriate sharing of any efficiencies or economies of scale to date and noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the management fees payable to TAM and the fees paid to the Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Sub-Adviser in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.

Benefits to TAM, its Affiliates, the Sub-Advisers, and/or the Sub-Sub-Adviser from their Relationships with the Funds

The Board considered other benefits derived by TAM, its affiliates, the Sub-Advisers, and/or the Sub-Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Funds. The Board noted that TAM does not receive benefits from research obtained with commissions paid to broker-dealers for portfolio transactions (“soft dollars”) as a result of its relationships with the Funds and that TAM believes the use of soft dollars by Advent Capital Management, LLC, Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., Jennison Associates LLC, Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P., Levin Easterly Partners LLC, Morgan Stanley Investment

Management Inc., Peregrine Capital Management, LLC, PineBridge Investments LLC, Ranger Investment Management, L.P., Rockefeller and Co., Inc., Systematic Financial Management L.P., TD Greystone Asset Management, Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC and Wellington Management Company LLP is generally appropriate and in the best interests of the applicable Funds. The Board also noted that Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC, ClariVest Asset Management LLC, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., Jennison Associates LLC, Levin Easterly Partners LLC, Peregrine Capital Management, LLC, PineBridge Investments LLC, Ranger Investment Management, L.P., Rockefeller and Co., Inc., Systematic Financial Management L.P., Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC and Wellington Management Company LLP participate in a brokerage program pursuant to which a portion of brokerage commissions paid by each applicable Fund is recaptured for the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders, thus limiting the amount of soft dollar arrangements the Sub-Adviser may engage in with respect to a Fund’s brokerage transactions.

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Sub-Adviser. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment and undertaken certain business risks with respect to the management and success of the Funds.

Conclusion

After consideration of the factors described above, as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the renewal of the Management Agreement, each Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders and voted to approve the renewal of the Agreements.

TRANSAMERICA GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — CONTRACT RENEWAL

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on June 19-20, 2019, the Board considered the renewal of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Transamerica Funds, on behalf of Transamerica Government Money Market (the “Fund”). The Board also considered the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) for the Fund between TAM and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”).

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2020.

Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and the Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM and the Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, and knowledge they gained over time through meeting with TAM and the Sub-Adviser. Among other materials, the Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser. In their review, the Trustees also sought to identify instances in which the Fund’s performance, fees, total expenses and/or profitability appeared to be outliers within its respective peer group or other comparative metrics, and sought to understand the reasons for such comparative positions.

In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met privately without representatives of TAM or the Sub-Adviser present and were represented throughout the process by their independent legal counsel. In considering the proposed continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees evaluated and weighed a number of considerations that they believed to be relevant in light of the legal advice furnished to them by counsel, including independent legal counsel, and made a decision in the exercise of their own business judgment. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any particular consideration or item of information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by TAM and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund in the past and the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board also considered the investment approach for the Fund; the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management; the financial resources of TAM; TAM’s management oversight process; TAM’s and the Sub-Adviser’s responsiveness to any questions by the Trustees; and the professional qualifications and compensation program of the portfolio management team of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees noted that they receive, on a quarterly basis, an execution analysis from Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (CAPIS), an independent provider of trade analyses, for the Sub-Adviser and a comparison of trading results against a peer universe of managers.

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM, when acting as a manager of managers, for the portion of the management fee it retains after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of the Fund and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Fund; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Fund; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Fund’s prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Fund; and ongoing cash management services. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Fund. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Fund, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder service functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance of the Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Broadridge, for various

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

(unaudited)

 

trailing periods ended December 31, 2018. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that TAM and the Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. The Board’s conclusions as to the Fund’s performance are summarized below. In describing the Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize performance for the relevant periods in relation to whether it was “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, performance is described as “above” the median if the Fund’s performance ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise return was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median return).

When considering the Fund’s performance, the Trustees considered any representations made by TAM regarding the appropriateness of certain peer groups and benchmarks. They recognized that performance reflects a snapshot of a period as of a specific date, and that consideration of performance data for a different period could generate significantly different performance results. The Trustees also recognized that even longer-term performance can be negatively affected by performance over a short-term period when that short-term performance is significantly below the performance of the comparable benchmark or universe of peer funds.

The Board noted that the performance of Class I Shares of the Fund was below the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser had commenced subadvising the Fund on November 1, 2018 pursuant to its current investment strategies. The Board also noted that the Fund converted from a “prime” to a “government” money market fund as of May 1, 2016. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during the first quarter of 2019.

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratio

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of the Fund, including information provided by Broadridge comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of the Fund to the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Broadridge. The Board’s conclusions as to the Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio are summarized below. In describing the Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio relative to its peer group and peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize management fees and total expense ratios for the relevant periods in relation to whether they were “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer group or peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, management fees and total expense ratios are described as “above” the median if the Fund’s management fee or total expense ratio ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise management fee or total expense ratio was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median management fee or total expense ratio). The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services, as well as the portion of the Fund’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee and how the portion of the contractual management fee retained by TAM at a specified asset level compared to the portions retained by other investment advisers managing mutual funds with similar investment strategies as calculated by an independent provider of information.

The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I Shares of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the management and sub-advisory fees to be received by TAM and the Sub-Adviser under the Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

The Board reviewed information provided by TAM about the cost of providing and procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration, transfer agency and other services, to the Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for the Fund and Transamerica Funds as a whole. The Trustees recognized the competitiveness of the mutual fund industry and the importance of an investment adviser’s long-term profitability, including for maintaining company and management stability and accountability.

The Board also considered the allocation methodology used for calculating the profitability of TAM and its affiliates. The Board noted that the revenue and expense allocation methodology used by TAM to estimate its profitability with respect to its relationship with the Fund had been reviewed previously by an independent consultant. The Trustees considered that TAM reported that it had not made material changes to this methodology, and that the methodology had been applied consistently for the Fund.

With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and the Sub-Adviser, which is not affiliated with TAM, and are paid by TAM and not the Fund. As a result, the Board focused on the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to the Fund.

TRANSAMERICA LARGE GROWTH

APPROVAL OF SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on July 17-18, 2019, the Board considered the termination of Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”) as a sub-adviser for Transamerica Large Growth (the “Fund”) and the approval of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. (“Morgan Stanley”) as a replacement sub-adviser. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the terms of the proposed sub-advisory agreement between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Morgan Stanley with respect to the Fund (the “Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement”) were reasonable, and that the termination of the existing sub-advisory agreement between TAM and Jennison with respect to the Fund (the “Jennison Sub-Advisory Agreement”) and the approval of the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement and authorized TAM to terminate the Jennison Sub-Advisory Agreement.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested and received from TAM certain materials and information in advance of the meeting. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement, including information previously obtained from TAM and Morgan Stanley in connection with the Board’s annual 15(c) approvals for other Transamerica funds sub-advised by Morgan Stanley. In addition, the Independent Trustees consulted with counsel, including independent legal counsel, discussing, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Independent Trustees’ deliberations.

Among other matters, the Trustees considered:

(a)        that the appointment of Morgan Stanley is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund and its shareholders, including compliance services;

(b)        that Morgan Stanley is an experienced and respected asset management firm and TAM believes that Morgan Stanley has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund based on an assessment of Morgan Stanley’s organization, investment personnel and experience managing the same proposed investment strategy for Transamerica Capital Growth;

(c)        that the proposed management fee rate payable to TAM by the Fund would be the same at current asset levels and that the fee payable to Morgan Stanley is fair and reasonable in light of the sub-advisory services to be provided;

(d)        the fact that the sub-advisory fees payable to Morgan Stanley would be paid by TAM and not the Fund;

(e)        the proposed responsibilities of Morgan Stanley and the sub-advisory services it is expected to provide to the Fund; and

(f)        that TAM recommended to the Trustees that Morgan Stanley be appointed as a sub-adviser based on, among other things, Morgan Stanley’s experience sub-advising the proposed investment strategy for Transamerica Capital Growth.

In their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated and weighed a number of considerations that they believed to be relevant, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by counsel, including independent legal counsel, and made a decision in the exercise of their own business judgment. The Trustees based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any particular consideration or item of information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be Provided. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Morgan Stanley under the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered, among other things, information provided by TAM regarding the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of Morgan Stanley, the anticipated ability of Morgan Stanley to perform its duties under the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the proposed changes to the Fund’s current investment program and other practices of the Fund. The Trustees further considered that Morgan Stanley is an experienced asset management firm and that TAM believes that Morgan Stanley has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund based on their assessment of Morgan Stanley’s organization, investment talent and experience sub-advising other Transamerica funds. The Trustees also considered the proposed changes to the Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategies.

Based on their review of the materials provided and the information they had received from TAM and other information reviewed in connection with the Board’s annual 15(c) approvals of other Transamerica funds sub-advised by Morgan Stanley, the Trustees determined that Morgan Stanley can provide sub-advisory services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the proposed investment program for the Fund and that Morgan Stanley’s appointment is not expected to adversely affect the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.

APPROVAL OF SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (continued)

(unaudited)

 

Investment Performance. The Trustees considered Morgan Stanley’s past performance, investment management experience, capabilities and resources. The Trustees reviewed the performance of the Fund, including as compared to its primary benchmark, its peer group and Transamerica Capital Growth, which is currently sub-advised by Morgan Stanley and employs the same investment strategy that will be used by the Fund (the “Morgan Stanley Strategy”), among other comparisons. They noted that the performance of the Morgan Stanley Strategy outperformed the Fund and its benchmark and peer group median for the past one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2019. On the basis of this information and the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Morgan Stanley, the Trustees concluded that Morgan Stanley is capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s proposed new investment objective and principal investment strategies.

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees, Cost of Services to be Provided and Profitability. The Trustees considered the proposed management and sub-advisory fee schedules. The Trustees noted that the proposed sub-advisory fee rate payable by TAM to Morgan Stanley is lower at current asset levels than the current sub-advisory fee rate for Jennison. The Trustees also considered that the proposed management fee would be lower at certain asset levels and would be equal to the applicable Morningstar and Broadridge peer group medians, and that TAM considered the proposed management fee to be reasonable compensation for its services. On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information they considered, the Trustees determined that the management fee to be received by TAM and the sub-advisory fee to be received by Morgan Stanley under the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

With respect to Morgan Stanley’s costs and profitability in providing sub-advisory services to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule is the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and Morgan Stanley. As a result, the Trustees did not consider Morgan Stanley’s anticipated profitability to be material to its decision to approve the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed pro forma estimated profitability information provided by TAM, noting that there was expected to be an increase in the net management fees retained by TAM due to the reduced sub-advisory fees. The Trustees considered that TAM believes that the proposed net management fee would allow TAM to be reasonably compensated for its services.

Economies of Scale. In evaluating the extent to which the proposed sub-advisory fees payable under the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement reflected economies of scale or would permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Trustees considered the existence of breakpoints in both the management and sub-advisory fee schedules. The Trustees considered that the appointment of Morgan Stanley has the potential to attract additional assets due to Morgan Stanley’s established asset management capabilities. The Trustees concluded that they would have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the management fees payable by the Fund to TAM and the sub-advisory fees payable by TAM to Morgan Stanley in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.

Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees considered any other benefits expected to be derived by Morgan Stanley from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees noted that, although TAM would not receive benefits from research obtained with commissions paid to broker-dealers for portfolio transactions (“soft dollars”) as a result of its relationship with Morgan Stanley or the Fund, Morgan Stanley may engage in soft dollar arrangements and receive such benefits, consistent with applicable law and “best execution” requirements.

Conclusion. After consideration of the factors described above, as well as other factors, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the approval of the revised management fee schedule and the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and unanimously approved the revised management fee schedule and the Morgan Stanley Sub-Advisory Agreement.

ANNUAL REPORT

 

 

OCTOBER 31, 2019

 

 

 

LOGO

Beginning January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds intend to no longer mail paper copies of the funds’ shareholder reports, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from a fund or your financial intermediary (such as broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be made available on a website and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically (“e-delivery”), you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from a fund electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you are a direct shareholder with a fund, by calling 1-888-233-4339.

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports a funds is held through that intermediary. If you are a direct shareholder with a fund, you can call 1-888-233-4339 to let the fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. That election will apply to all Transamerica funds held directly with the fund complex.

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2019


Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of Transamerica Funds, I 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 professional in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Fund(s) during the fiscal year. The Securities and Exchange Commission currently requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides detailed information about your Fund(s) for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last fiscal year to provide a context for reading this report. As the period began, domestic and international markets were in the beginning phase of a fourth quarter decline which would eventually take the S&P 500® down almost 20% from its previous record high. Investor anxiety was primarily driven by two dynamics creating high levels of uncertainty as the year was concluding. These dynamics were Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy and the ongoing trade dispute with China.

Selling accelerated into year-end as the Fed implemented its fourth rate hike of the year and ninth since its tightening cycle had begun three years earlier. This played into developing market fears that the Fed was on the verge of a major policy error, of raising rates into a slowing economy. Parallel to concerns with the Fed, the market also grappled with deteriorating trade relations with China and the prospect of additional U.S. imposed tariffs. Together, these two concerns sent stocks sliding as the market experienced its worst month of December in more than eighty-five years. Unlike the equity markets, however, the December strains also garnered a flight to quality in U.S. Treasury bonds and a large downward move in the 10-year Treasury yield which fell by over a half a percent, from 3.24% on November 8th to 2.69% by the end of 2018.

As the calendar turned to 2019, the Fed quickly changed its perspective to one of patience, and it became clear to the market that no further rate hikes were likely in the immediate future. In May, markets were surprised to hear that a trade deal with China would not come to fruition as expected, and a new round of tariffs went into effect. This jolted stocks to some extent, however, the Fed acted quickly, first by signaling in June that it was ready to reverse course and begin reducing rates starting with a rate cut of 0.25% at the July meeting. As trade uncertainty with China continued and the rhetoric escalated, the Fed cut rates twice more in September and October, negating three of the four hikes from the year past. During the summer, investors also witnessed the inversion of the yield curve, as long-term Treasury rates fell below short-term rates, stoking recession fears. However, by late October, after the Fed had enacted its third rate cut of the year, long-term rates rose, and the yield curve moved back into a traditional upward slope.

In the credit markets, investment grade and high yield bonds began 2019 with elongated credit spreads as a result of the economic fears created from the Fed’s tightening activity toward the end of 2018 and the potential impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy. As both those fears thawed throughout the year, credit spreads narrowed, market fundamentals remained strong and corporate bonds posted strong returns throughout the first half of the year. International developed and emerging markets equities also recovered well during this time.

As the autumn months began, investors could also recognize the continued strength in the economy. The unemployment rate continued close to the lowest level in a half century, wages continued to grow, inflation remained benign and consumer spending progressed on a strong path. In this environment, lower rates also helped equity valuations as the market looked forward to higher earnings growth in 2020.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index returned 14.33% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, returned 11.63%. During the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%. Please keep in mind that it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

Disclosure of Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses.

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 May 1, 2019, and held for the entire six-month period until October 31, 2019.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The information in the table below 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), 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 EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The information in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. 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. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries, or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Markets experienced a tumultuous end to 2018, as uncertainty roiled markets, culminating in a sharp risk-off move and heightened volatility. Concerns about further escalations in the U.S./China trade dispute, a poorer earnings growth outlook, the threat of a global economic slowdown, and a plunge in energy prices weighed on sentiment.

Risk assets rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 following the rocky end to 2018. Optimism for a U.S./China trade agreement and dovish Federal Reserve (“Fed”) rhetoric propelled risk assets higher despite a string of weak economic data releases in Europe and China. In essence, markets were acting as if they believed that these economies would stabilize and avoid a hard landing.

Risk assets and U.S. government securities all rallied in the second quarter amid sub-trend global growth, ongoing trade tensions and a dovish shift from the Fed. The threat of intensifying trade tensions dominated the narrative throughout spring and summer. As such, the market began to price in expectations of multiple Fed rate cuts.

Economic growth and global trade continued to dominate investor attention at the end of the fiscal period. The last months of the period was marked by a continued slowdown in the global economy, offset by further monetary easing from the U.S. and Europe, and the appearance of progress in the U.S./China trade negotiations. This optimism helped risk assets rally while continued downward pressure on rates pushed government bonds higher as well. The Fed cut interest rates 25 basis points (“bps”) at the July, September and October meetings, bringing the fed funds rate target range to 1.50%—1.75% in an attempt to prolong the expansion in the face of a slowdown in the pace of economic growth.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Core Bond (Class I2) returned 11.40%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, returned 11.51%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

U.S. Treasury yields fell across the curve, with longer-term rates falling further and flattening the yield curve during the period. The 2-year Treasury fell by 70 bps to finish the period at 1.54%, while the 10-year yield fell by 145 bps to finish at 1.69%. Duration and yield curve positioning were both positive for the Fund, as we finished the fiscal period with a longer duration, overweight the 5 to 10-year key rate durations (“KRD”), and underweight the 30-year KRD. Our underweight to Treasury debt was positive for performance as most spread sectors outperformed their risk-free counterparts, with the exception of agency mortgage-backed Securities (“MBS”). Security selection in Treasurys was a slight detractor, as an out-of-benchmark allocation to Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (“STRIP”)-Coupons underperformed Treasury whole bonds.

An underweight to investment-grade credit was a slight detractor, as that was the best performer during the period, however, the negative impact of the underweight was more than offset by positive security selection in the sector. Security selection within structured products like asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and commercial and non-agency MBS was also positive. On the other hand, security selection to agency mortgages was a detractor during the period.

Our sector allocations did not change dramatically throughout the period. We remained underweight to Treasury debt, overweight in mortgage securities and ABS, and neutral weight in corporate bonds. Duration ended the fiscal year at 5.84 years as compared to 5.69 years for the benchmark.

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

 

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or since inception date of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Investing in bond funds entails interest rate and credit risk as well as additional risks in that the Fund may invest in high-yield/high-risk bonds and is subject to greater levels of liquidity risk, which are described in more detail in the prospectus. This Fund is only available in Class I2 shares, which are not available for direct investment by the public.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The final quarter of 2018 saw significant equity market weakness, marred by persistent trade-related concerns, rising rates and slowing economic growth. October 2018 saw a correction in the S&P 500® in response to rising U.S. interest rate expectations. While this abated in November 2018, December 2018 saw a further move down. Although rate pressures eased and forward interest rate expectations moved down, concerns around economic growth took over.

A strong rebound in the first quarter of 2019 laid the foundation for positive year-to-date performance in both global equity markets and real estate securities. The second quarter of 2019 saw equities post modest gains. Following a steady march up in April, May saw a correction in the S&P 500® as trade tensions intensified, before rallying in June on the back of a dovish surprise from the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), resolution of the U.S.-Mexico tariff dispute, and a trade truce between the U.S. and China. The third quarter of 2019 was a similar story as positive performance was held to modest levels with continued deceleration in global economic growth, increased fears of a protracted trade dispute, and heightened geopolitical tensions. In the current market environment, we are encouraged by accommodative central bank policy that bolsters the pricing of yield-oriented securities and creates a more favorable case for debt financing.

While October 2019 has seen some reflation in global markets and glimmers of optimism for the economy, we remain cautious, in part due to the potential for market volatility driven by politics as we move towards next year’s presidential election, and in part due to taking a wait-and-see approach on the economy. We favor enterprises that are exposed to idiosyncratic growth, secular trends and those that have the operational and financial capacity to execute.

In a world where economic expectations appear to be low growth, low inflation and consequently lower for longer costs of capital, we continue to focus on markets where underlying property market fundamentals remain robust, and on companies with exposure to these markets coupled with strong balance sheets to withstand short term volatility in capital markets.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities (Class I2) returned 21.12%. By comparison, its benchmark, the S&P Developed Property Index, returned 20.20%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Fund outperformed its benchmark.

On a regional level, the returns for the benchmark were positive across the three regions; Americas, Asia Pacific (“APAC”) and Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”). The Fund had positive relative performance in all three regions. The Fund’s exposure to U.S. Specialty, U.S. Office, UK Majors, U.S. Lodging, Hong Kong and Australian Developers, U.S. Self-Storage, U.S. Residential, Japan Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Singapore REITs, and U.S. Industrial contributed to performance. The Fund’s exposure to U.S. Healthcare, Israel, Switzerland, U.S. Retail and Northern European countries detracted from performance.

At an individual stock level, the top five contributors were Sun Communities, Inc., REIT (an owner and operator of manufactured housing and recreational vehicle communities across the US and Canada), Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc., REIT (a U.S. REIT focused on industrial properties in Southern California), GDS Holdings, Ltd. (a Chinese-based datacenter REIT), GLP J-REIT (a Japanese based REIT specializing in logistics facilities), and Spirit Realty Capital, Inc., REIT (a premier net-lease REIT investing in single-tenant, operationally essential real estate with long-term net leases).

The main detractors were Swire Properties, Ltd. (an owner and operator of mixed-use commercial properties in Hong Kong and Mainland China, Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., REIT (the largest lodging REIT and one of the largest owners of luxury and upscale hotels), Dexus, REIT (a company focused on the Australian market), Simon Property Group, Inc., REIT (the largest retail REIT and the largest shopping mall operator in the U.S.), and Mid-America Apartment Communities, REIT (a U.S. REIT that invests in apartments in the Southeastern and the Southwestern United States).

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions added to performance.

(A) The S&P Developed Property Index defines and measures the investable universe of publicly traded property companies domiciled in developed markets.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or since inception date of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Investments in real estate securities and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involve special risks, such as the possible decline in value of real estate, extended vacancies, and uninsured damages from natural disasters.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

International equities advanced over the 12-month period ended on October 31, 2019. Asia ex-Japan was the top performing region as strong earnings from Australian and multinational companies offset economic concerns surrounding the protests in Hong Kong. The United Kingdom underperformed the rest of the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index universe, as Brexit uncertainty lingered over the nation’s macroeconomic forecasts. Ten out of eleven benchmark sectors posted gains led by information technology and utilities. Energy was the lone sector in negative territory; materials also lagged the index.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica International Value (Class I2) returned 6.74%. By comparison, its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index, returned 11.84%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund trailed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index for the fiscal year. Japan was the largest detractor from relative return on a regional basis with JXTG Holdings Inc. as the worst performer in the group. The refining company’s profits were negatively impacted by deteriorating market prices for petroleum and petrochemical products, although it continued to generate solid free cash flow throughout the cycle. Emerging markets was the top contributor to performance with Qualicorp Consultoria e Corretora de Seguros SA (“Qualicrop”) leading the group. Qualicorp provides health insurance and health-care services in Brazil. The business model is bolstered by stable free cash flow and subscriber growth. The company’s founder recently reduced his sizable stake in the business, which led to improvements in Qualicorp’s corporate governance.

The financial sector was the largest source of underperformance among sectors with Burford Capital, Ltd. ("Burford") as the primary drag on returns. Burford, which invests in legal claims, was subject to accusations from a short seller claiming it manipulated profitability metrics by inflating the returns on several investments. Burford’s management defended these claims by providing more disclosure on its ongoing investments. We believe Burford will continue to provide more evidence confirming the legitimacy of its accounting; we had not made any changes to our position at period end. Materials also detracted with ArcelorMittal as the weakest position in the group. The European steelmaker’s shares declined amid a difficult industry environment. While ArcelorMittal closed unprofitable plants, many of its peers continued to increase supply despite a narrowing spread between input costs and finished steel prices. We continue to believe ArcelorMittal will use free cash flow to pay down debt and subsequently deliver shareholder returns.

Industrials and utilities were the top contributors to relative return at the sector level. International Container Terminal Services Inc. was the leader in industrials. Despite escalating global trade tensions, the Philippines-based cargo terminal operator has seen sustained cash flows from shipping volume growth. Veolia Environnement SA led our utilities holdings. The French waste and water manager has generated significant growth and free cash flow from its operating segments as well as the disposal of non-core businesses.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

(A) The MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index captures large and mid-cap representation across developed and emerging markets countries, excluding the U.S.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or since inception date of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Investments in international markets involve risks not associated with U.S. markets, such as currency fluctuations, adverse social and political developments, and relatively small size and lesser liquidity of the markets. Value approach carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that an undervalued stock is actually appropriately priced.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

At the beginning of the fiscal year, in November of 2018, U.S. equity markets produced positive results, a step upward after the October 2018 sell-off. Intermittent volatility still roiled markets, with questions abounding on the U.S.-China trade narrative and whether we have reached peak corporate earnings. Trade tensions briefly eased following the G-20 Summit, where President Trump and China’s President Xi agreed to a short-term truce. The market ended the month of December 2018 down, correcting again after the decline seen in October 2018. Episodic volatility continued to shake the market, with fears surrounding trade, overextended corporate earnings, and declining global Purchasing Managers Index (“PMIs”) raising concerns. Despite periodic market shocks, many market and economic indicators still were favorable, including consumer and small business confidence, wages, and same store retail sales.

The market bounced back in the first quarter of 2019, making up for losses experienced at the end of 2018. While consensus remained that the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) would keep rates steady, alleviating some recessionary fears, volatility escalated in May 2019 with increased tensions surrounding tariffs between the U.S. and China, in addition to proposed U.S. tariffs on Mexico. Investors took risk off the table given new developments in the trade narrative and signs of slower economic growth globally, despite a still generally constructive earnings backdrop in the U.S. Markets moved higher in July 2019 as well, with signs of easing global monetary policy, continuing strength in corporate earnings, and abating trade tensions. Market gains were lost come August 2019, however, with the Fed’s move to cut rates, together with President Trump’s surprise tariff proposal, leading to risk-off sentiment. The market again rebounded in September 2019, accompanied by a meaningful rotation from growth into value.

The market moved higher in October 2019 on the heels of September’s rally, with corporate earnings and consumer strength driving the advance. Corporate profits have been solid in the third quarter of 2019, with most of S&P 500® companies beating bottom-line estimates thus far. The unemployment rate remains at record lows, which has helped to sustain high consumer confidence. While trade remains a concern, negotiations have been more constructive lately, with a “Phase One” deal outlined in mid-October. The Fed also showed a more accommodative stance by cutting the federal funds rate at its latest meeting.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Long/Short Strategy (Class I2) returned 6.71%. By comparison, its primary and secondary benchmarks, the ICE BofAML 3-Month Treasury Bill Index and the S&P 500®, returned 2.40% and 14.33%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark with basic materials, software & hardware and financial services sectors contributing to performance, while pharma & healthcare, energy and consumer staple sectors detracted.

Within media, a long position in Alphabet, Inc., Class C (“Alphabet”) contributed to performance as the company reported a good third quarter in 2019 with revenue upside, better expense management, and improved disclosure from management, explaining some of the underlying drivers of the second quarter sell-off. Alphabet also announced the authorization of a stock buyback program. We expect Alphabet to grow its top line for the next several years with stabilizing margins. In software & hardware, an overweight to Anaplan helped performance. The company has reported consistently strong growth on important metrics such as subscription revenue, billings and bookings. Investor sentiment remains positive as Anaplan expects meaningful uptake of its solutions.

Within retail, a short position in Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. detracted from performance as the company posted strong second quarter results. However, the stock looks very expensive in our view and we foresee challenges ahead as tailwinds from the company’s growth initiatives may subside in the near future. In energy, a long position in EOG Resources, Inc. weighed on returns. Sector-wide operational fears surrounding Concho Resources well spacing test, which indicated well spacing was too tight, drove the stock down. Investors’ bearish outlook on oil prices further hurt the stock.

(A) The ICE BofAML 3-Month Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month, which is subsequently sold at the end of the month and rolled into a newly selected issue. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, three months from the rebalancing date.

(B) The S&P 500® is market-capitalization weighted index of 500 large U.S. companies with common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ.

The Fund’s benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or since inception date of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Securities purchased for an arbitrage strategy are intended to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the value of two securities and may not perform as expected. The Fund is only available in Class I2 shares, which are not available for direct investment by the public.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. equity markets began the 2019 fiscal year up modestly in November after the October sell-off. Intermittent volatility still roiled markets, with questions abounding on the U.S./China trade narrative and whether we had reached peak corporate earnings. Trade tensions eased briefly after the G20 Summit, where President Trump and China’s President Xi agreed to a short-term truce. The market corrected again in December, closing down as it priced in added risk and uncertainty. With the sell-off, S&P 500® Index (“S&P 500®”) price-to-earnings multiples compressed from over 18x at the year’s onset to 14x by the year’s end.

Episodic volatility continued to shake the market throughout the fiscal year, with fears surrounding trade, overextended corporate earnings, and declining global Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMIs”) raising concerns. While consensus held that the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) would keep rates steady, alleviating some recessionary fears, volatility escalated in May with increased tensions surrounding tariffs between the U.S. and China and proposed U.S. tariffs on Mexico. Investors took risk off the table given new developments in the trade narrative and signs of slower economic growth globally, despite a still generally constructive earnings backdrop in the U.S. Driven mostly by improved hopes of a trade deal between the U.S. and China, the strong performance in equities provided both relief and hope to investors, driving the S&P 500® to fresh highs in June 2019. Markets moved higher in July, with signs of easing global monetary policy, continuing strength in corporate earnings, and abating trade tensions.

Market gains were lost come August, however, with the Fed’s move to cut rates, together with President Trump’s surprise tariff proposal, leading to risk-off sentiment. The market again rebounded in September, accompanied by a dramatic rotation from growth into value. The market moved higher in October on the heels of September’s rally, with corporate earnings and consumer strength driving the advance. Companies reported solid earnings in the third quarter of 2019 and the unemployment rate remains at record lows, which has helped to sustain high consumer confidence. While trade remains a concern, negotiations have been more constructive lately, with a “Phase One” deal outlined in mid-October. Thus, despite periodic market shocks and tensions that have yet to completely resolve, many market and economic indicators still lean positive and the U.S. equity markets managed strong returns for the fiscal year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Mid Cap Value (Class I2) returned 10.78%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, returned 10.08%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. Stock selection in materials and energy contributed to performance while stock selection in consumer discretionary and consumer staples detracted from portfolio results.

Ball Corp., a long term holding, led stock selection in materials. While we have trimmed Ball Corp. on outperformance, the company’s scale in the industry, lower cyclicality of its earnings pattern relative to basic materials peers, and disciplined management team drives our continued favorable view of the company. It’s also important to note that Ball Corp. stands to benefit from increased focus on sustainability which we believe will lead to increased demand for aluminum beverage cans.

Within the consumer discretionary sector, Nordstrom, Inc. (“Nordstrom”) was the top detractor during the period. Nordstrom posted a string of disappointing quarterly results amid declining Nordstrom Rack comparable sales and decelerating ecommerce sales. Despite a challenging phase, we appreciate that Nordstrom has focused on diversifying their distribution channels by investing in digital and off-price through Nordstrom Rack. These efforts are now contributing meaningfully to results. As such, we continue to think Nordstrom provides superior service through investments in technology, a rewards program, and a willingness to try different concepts.

(A) The Russell Midcap® Value Index measures the performance of the mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe, and is comprised of Russell Midcap® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell Midcap® Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or since inception date of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

Growth stocks can be volatile and experience sharp price declines and certain types of stocks, especially technology, can be extremely volatile and subject to greater price swings than the broader market. Value approach carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that an undervalued stock is actually appropriately priced. This Fund is only available in Class I2 shares, which are not available for direct investment by the public.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Elevated volatility headlined much of the end of 2018 as concerns about slowing global growth and rising geopolitical uncertainty weighed on risk sentiment. U.S. stocks reversed their gains from earlier in 2018 and fell sharply over the fourth quarter widely alongside a broader global risk asset sell-off. Midterm elections and a government shutdown in the U.S., ongoing Brexit negotiations, and political as well as budgetary turmoil in the eurozone all contributed to diminished investor appetites.

Following December’s steep sell-off, risk assets bounced back as dovish pivots from global central banks helped ease financial conditions, and optimism over U.S.-China trade negotiations bolstered investor sentiment. Still, economic data continued to signal decelerating global growth. Even as risk sentiment improved, fundamental data continued to indicate a slowdown. The eurozone saw downside surprises in growth metrics as external demand weakened, driven in part by the persistent slowdown in China, which in turn spurred stimulus measures from Chinese policymakers.

In the second quarter of 2019, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) signaled an easing bias, indicating that it would act as appropriate to sustain the expansion. Similarly, the European Central Bank suggested that it was primed to initiate additional stimulus in the form of rate cuts or quantitative easing. ”Safe-haven” and risk assets alike rallied as financial conditions eased in anticipation of easier global monetary policy. While risk sentiment moved in tandem with the ebb and flow of global trade tensions throughout the quarter, the S&P 500® still set new highs, and credit spreads broadly tightened.

The third quarter of 2019 was marked by financial markets moving in tandem with geopolitical uncertainty, particularly in August when escalating trade tensions precipitated a steep sell-off in risk assets and a surge in demand for sovereign bonds. However, investor fears subsided towards the end of the quarter which led to some reprieve in markets.

Over the period, U.S. Treasuries fell across the yield curve, as the long end fell relatively more than the front end, causing the curve to flatten. Globally, developed market yields fell in tandem. Within the spread market, mid-to-long-end breakevens tightened, while corporate credit, and agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) spreads all widened over the period. Currency markets moved in tandem as the dollar appreciated against most developed market currencies. Emerging market currencies faced bouts of volatility, particularly amid the U.S.-China trade war developments.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Total Return (Class I2) returned 10.50%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, returned 11.51%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

During the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, overall interest rate strategies were negative for returns. Consistent with our preference for U.S. duration over other developed markets, as we believe U.S. rates have further to fall, tactical short exposures to the U.K., Japan and Australia detracted from performance and more than offset positive contribution from positioning in U.S. rates.

Within spread strategies, exposure to the securitized sector detracted from performance. Specifically, positioning in MBS, both agency and non-agency, was negative as prepayments accelerated amid the falling yield environment. Corporate credit exposure was positive for performance as both an allocation to high yield credit and select exposure to investment grade financial corporates added. TIPS exposure, in lieu of nominal Treasuries detracted from performance as inflation expectations fell.

Finally, currency strategies added moderately to performance. Positioning in developed market currencies, including a moderate underweight to the U.S. dollar, detracted from performance as the U.S. dollar strengthened over the period. Tactical allocations in emerging market currencies, including dynamic exposure to a basket of high carry currencies, contributed to performance. Specifically, short exposure to the Brazilian Real in the fourth quarter of last year and dynamic long exposure to the Mexican Peso contributed positively over the period.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

Credit quality represents a percentage of net assets at the end of the reporting period. Ratings BBB or higher are considered investment grade. Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be equivalent of investment grade. The table reflects Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) ratings; percentages may include investments not rated by S&P but rated by Moody’s, or if unrated by Moody’s, by Fitch ratings, and then included in the closest equivalent S&P rating. Credit ratings are subject to change. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent agency.

 

§

Average Maturity is computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the Fund by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures.

 

Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder.

 

^

The Net Other Assets (Liabilities) category may include, but is not limited to, reverse repurchase agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, written options and swaptions, and cash collateral.

(A) The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index measures investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, as well as both mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or since inception date of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expenses reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

This Fund will normally invest its assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities. The Fund may invest in non-U.S. securities and may invest a portion of its assets in high-yield securities. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. This Fund is only available in Class I2 shares, which are not available for direct investment by the public.

(F)    All or a portion of the securities are on loan. The total value of all securities on loan is $12,094,725. The amount of securities on loan indicated may not correspond with the securities on loan identified because securities with pending sales are in the process of recall from the brokers.
(G)    Payment in-kind. Security pays interest or dividends in the form of additional bonds or preferred stock. If the security makes a cash payment in addition to in-kind, the cash rate is disclosed separately.
(H)    When-issued, delayed-delivery and/or forward commitment (including TBAs) securities. Securities to be settled and delivered after October 31, 2019. Securities may display a coupon rate of 0.00%, as the rate is to be determined at time of settlement.

(P)    Rounds to less than $1 or $(1).

(Q)

   If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (a) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation or (b) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap agreement less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation.

(R)

   Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation.

(S)

   The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

(T)

   The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period ended. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(U)

   The Fund recognizes transfers in and out of Level 3 as of October 31, 2019. Please reference the Security Valuation section of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding security valuation and pricing inputs.

(V)

   Futures contracts and/or forward foreign currency contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

Disclosure of Expenses

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses.

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 May 1, 2019, and held for the entire six-month period until October 31, 2019.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The information in the table below 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), 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 EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The information in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. 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. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries, or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 was characterized by increased concerns around slowing global growth and uncertainty around global trade. Central Bank monetary policy and uncertainty around Brexit also served as key drivers of asset price moves over the period. Equities sold off meaningfully and fixed income rallied in December of 2018 as Congress was unable to pass a spending bill, leading to a government shutdown.

The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) was more hawkish than expected and concerns the Fed could be making a policy mistake weighed on markets. With the new year came a shift in markets and the Fed. Equity markets saw a sharp reversal in January, rallying on more dovish than expected signaling from developed market central banks. The Fed began shifting towards a less aggressive direction during the first quarter, downgrading its projection for rate hikes in 2019 from two to none and announcing it would end its balance sheet run off in the third quarter of 2019. This would be the beginning of an extended dovish shift from the Fed that would lead to cutting the range for its key policy rate three times over the remainder of the reporting period.

With growth weakening in Europe, the European Central Bank would also shift in a more dovish direction, ultimately cutting its key policy rate further into negative territory and restarting the asset purchase program that it had only just ended in December of 2018. After several months of seemingly positive progress in trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, President Trump surprised markets in May by announcing an increase in tariffs on Chinese goods and threatening additional tariffs. Equities would recover from the May turmoil, but trade uncertainty would continue as a theme over most of the period. U.K. political and Brexit developments were a driver of U.K. and European assets. Markets ended the period on a relatively upbeat tone, with U.S. equities hitting new all-time highs. Despite continued concerns around slower global growth, equity markets were aided in October by better than expected earnings reports and the announcement of a high level trade agreement between the U.S. and China.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Global Multifactor Macro (Class I2) returned -2.33%. By comparison, its benchmark, the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar LIBOR 3-Month Constant Maturity Index, returned 2.68%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund utilizes a long-term market-neutral strategy that trades predominately on macroeconomic news and trends, using a systematic, bottom-up approach that integrates both quantitative and discretionary trading signals. While the Fund is long-term market neutral, it can take directional views over the short term and gains exposure to global equity, fixed income, currency, and commodity markets through the use of derivatives including futures, currency forwards, and swaps.

Positioning based on macroeconomic momentum signals and price momentum performed well over the period, but was offset by positioning driven by value and carry. Equity strategies performed well, with a long Australian equities position positively contributing over the period. Australian equities outperformed on a weaker Australian dollar, which aided export prospects, a more dovish than expected Reserve Bank of Australia and the surprise victory by incumbent, Scott Morrison. Commodity strategies also added to returns, with a long natural gas position in November of 2018 performing well. Natural gas rallied meaningfully in November on larger than expected draws in inventory and forecasts for colder than expected weather.

Fixed income strategies were the largest detractors over the period, with a long Norwegian 2-year interest rate swap position and a U.S. 2-year vs. 10-year flattener position performing poorly. Norwegian interest rate swaps underperformed, weighed down by a more hawkish than expected central bank, which hiked its key policy rate three times in 2019. The U.S. yield curve flattener position detracted in November and December of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, as concerns around a potential policy mistake by the Fed led to a sharp drop in shorter dated yields, as future Fed rate hikes were priced out. Currency strategies also detracted, with long New Zealand dollar positions in the second and third quarters of 2019 leading to losses. The New Zealand dollar underperformed, weighed down by lower than expected inflation data and a more dovish than expected Reserve Bank of New Zealand, which moved to cut its key policy rate by 75 basis points over the period.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

(A) The ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar LIBOR 3-Month Constant Maturity Index represents the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) with a constant 3-month average maturity.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or since inception date of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Highlights.

Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. This Fund is only available in Class I2 shares, which are not available for direct investment by the public.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 was characterized by increased concerns around slowing global growth and uncertainty around global trade. Central Bank monetary policy and uncertainty around Brexit also served as key drivers of asset price moves over the period. Equities sold off meaningfully and fixed income rallied in December of 2018 as Congress was unable to pass a spending bill, leading to a government shutdown.

The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) was more hawkish than expected and concerns the Fed could be making a policy mistake weighed on markets. With the new year came a shift in markets and the Fed. Equity markets saw a sharp reversal in January, rallying on more dovish than expected signaling from developed market central banks. The Fed began shifting towards a less aggressive direction during the first quarter, downgrading its projection for rate hikes in 2019 from two to none and announcing it would end its balance sheet run off in the third quarter of 2019. This would be the beginning of an extended dovish shift from the Fed that would lead to cutting the range for its key policy rate three times over the remainder of the period.

With growth weakening in Europe, the European Central Bank would also shift in a more dovish direction, ultimately cutting its key policy rate further into negative territory and restarting the asset purchase program that it had only just ended in December of 2018. After several months of seemingly positive progress in trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, President Trump surprised markets in May by announcing an increase in tariffs on Chinese goods and threatening additional tariffs. Equities would recover from the May turmoil, but trade uncertainty would continue as a theme over most of the period. U.K. political and Brexit developments were a driver for U.K. and European assets. Markets ended the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 on a relatively upbeat tone, with U.S. equities hitting new all-time highs. Despite continued concerns around slower global growth, equity markets were aided in October by better than expected earnings reports and the announcement of a high level trade agreement between the U.S. and China.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy (Class I2) returned -1.89%. By comparison, its benchmark, the FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill + 7% Wrap, returned 9.74%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Trend following in equities had a modest but positive performance impact over the trailing 12-month period. Global equities reversed long-term trends several times over the period but sustained intermittent short-term trends. Positioning started the period net short equities due to a significant reversal of longer-term bullish trends in October 2018. Short positioning benefited as the selloff continued through December 2018 but detracted in early 2019 as global equities reversed and strongly rallied, re-establishing bullish trends. Those trends reversed in May and August 2019 however on heightened trade tensions between the U.S. and China, leading to losses from net long exposures. Over the period, long-term trend reversals drove losses, while short-term signals contributed positively to performance as their views changed to align with new equity market directions and benefited as those trends continued.

Trend following in fixed income was a strong contributor to performance over the trailing 12-month period. Global fixed income markets realized significant directional moves as central banks pivoted toward more accommodative outlooks and policies. International bond markets contributed meaningfully as they sustained bullish trends, with significant contributions from European and Australian bonds which trended higher on accommodative monetary outlooks and policy in those regions. Despite starting the period net short U.S. fixed income, the large reversals in late 2018 caused positioning to flip long, also leading gains for the period. Both short-term and long-term signals contributed positively and similarly to performance over the period.

Trend following in currencies detracted over the trailing 12-month period. Changing risk sentiment and uncertainty around U.S-China trade negotiations drove reversals and losses over the period. The New Zealand dollar detracted as it reversed on changing outlooks for trade and interest rate policy. The Japanese yen also fluctuated over the period in connection with changes in risk sentiment. The Canadian dollar also experienced reversals in line with reversals in crude oil and related products. These losses were partly offset by gains from sustained trends in other currencies. In particular, sustained longer-term bearish trends in the euro and Korean won contributed positively to performance as weakness in economic data from those regions, increased trade tensions and slowing global growth concerns weighed on the currencies. These dynamics drove losses for short-term signals, while sustained bearish trends in the euro and won drove positive attribution to long-term signals.

Trend following in commodities was the largest detractor over the trailing 12-month period. Several reversals in crude oil and related commodities drove most of the losses. First, the U.S. offered sanction waivers allowing trade partners to import Iranian oil in November 2018, causing a significant reversal and selloff. Other reversals took place due to heightened concerns surrounding global growth, trade, and geopolitical risk later in the period, leading to a lack of clear market direction. Sustained bullish trends in precious metals,

such as palladium and gold, contributed positively and offset some of the losses. Long-term signals drove losses, mainly due to the significant directional shifts in energy prices over the period. Over-extended signals also detracted as they viewed crude oil and related commodities as cheap, but these assets declined overall.

During the fiscal year, the Fund utilized derivatives. These positions detracted from performance.

(A) The FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill + 7% Wrap Index represents monthly return equivalents of yield averages of the last 3 month Treasury Bill issues.

The Fund’s benchmark is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or since inception date of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Highlights.

Securities purchased for an arbitrage strategy are intended to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the value of two securities and may not perform as expected. This Fund is only available in Class I2 shares, which are not available for direct investment by the public.

The Trust applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance. The funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of the Trust and are as follows:

 

Fund

 

Fund

Transamerica Core Bond (“Core Bond”)

Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities (“Global Real Estate Securities”)

Transamerica International Value (“International Value”)

Transamerica Long/Short Strategy (“Long/Short Strategy”)

Transamerica Mid Cap Value (“Mid Cap Value”)

Transamerica Total Return (“Total Return”)

Transamerica Global Multifactor Macro (“Global Multifactor Macro”) (A)

Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy (“Managed Futures Strategy”) (A)

 

 

(A)   Transamerica Cayman Global Multifactor Macro, Ltd. and Transamerica Cayman Managed Futures Strategy, Ltd. are wholly-owned subsidiaries which act as investment vehicles for Global Multifactor Macro and Managed Futures Strategy, respectively. Please reference the Basis for Consolidation section of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information.

Global Real Estate Securities, Global Multifactor Macro and Managed Futures Strategy are “non-diversified” Funds, as defined under the 1940 Act.

This report must be accompanied or preceded by the Funds’ current prospectuses, which contain additional information about the Funds, including risks, as well as investment objectives and strategies.

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Funds pursuant to an investment management agreement. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Funds. TAM supervises each Fund’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Funds.

TAM currently acts as a “manager of managers” and hires sub-advisers to furnish day-to-day investment advice and recommendations. TAM may, in the future, determine to provide all aspects of the day-to-day management of a Fund without the use of a sub-adviser. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, the design and development of the Funds and their investment strategies and the ongoing review and evaluation of those investment strategies including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for the Funds employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative screens, research, analysis and due diligence; negotiation of sub-advisory agreements and fees; oversight and monitoring of sub-advisers and recommending changes to sub-advisers where it believes appropriate or advisable; recommending fund combinations and liquidations where it believes appropriate or advisable; selection and oversight of transition managers, as needed; regular supervision of the Funds’ investments; regular review and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Funds; regular review of holdings; ongoing trade oversight and analysis; regular monitoring to ensure adherence to investment process; regular calls and periodic on-site visits with sub-advisers; portfolio construction and asset allocation when using multiple sub-advisers for a Fund; risk management oversight and analysis; oversight of negotiation of investment documentation and agreements; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the valuation process; periodic due diligence reviews of pricing vendors and vendor methodology; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the compliance process; respond to regulatory inquiries and determine appropriate litigation strategy, as needed; review of proxies voted by sub-advisers; oversight of preparation, and review, of materials for meetings of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation, and review, of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; oversight of other service providers to the Funds, such as the custodian, the transfer agent, the Funds’ independent accounting firm and legal counsel; supervision of the performance of recordkeeping and shareholder relations functions for the Funds; and oversight of cash management services. TAM uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools to carry out its investment management services. TAM, not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-adviser(s) for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below: to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of the Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in the oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of Fund investments; assisting with Fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds;

2. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION

Transamerica Cayman Global Multifactor Macro, Ltd. and Transamerica Cayman Managed Futures Strategy, Ltd. (each, a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) are organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and are wholly-owned subsidiaries which act as investment vehicles for Global Multifactor Macro and Managed Futures Strategy, respectively. The principal purpose of investment in the Subsidiaries is to allow the Funds noted above to gain exposure to the commodity markets within the limitations of the federal tax law requirements applicable to regulated investment companies.

At October 31, 2019, the net assets of each Subsidiary as a percentage of each Fund’s net assets is as follows:

 

Fund   Subsidiary   Subsidiary
Net Assets
    Percentage

Assets
 

Global Multifactor Macro

  Transamerica Cayman Global Multifactor Macro, Ltd.   $   15,975,724       23.01

Managed Futures Strategy

  Transamerica Cayman Managed Futures Strategy, Ltd.     28,422,684       23.13  

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities purchased and any realized gains or losses are translated at the prevailing exchange rates in effect on the date of the respective transaction. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include, foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions, gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, and the difference between the receivable amounts of interest and dividends recorded in the accounting records in U.S. dollars and the amounts actually received.

Foreign currency denominated assets may involve risks not typically associated with domestic transactions. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, and possible adverse political, social, and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region.

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend dates, net of foreign taxes. Interest income, if any, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date, net of foreign taxes. Fixed income premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities.

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Foreign taxes: The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by the countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. The Funds may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable when the related income or capital gains are earned or unrealized, and based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions of foreign capital remittances abroad.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2019

 

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Cash overdraft: The Funds may have cash overdraft balances. A fee is incurred on these overdrafts, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the Federal Funds Rate.

Payables, if any, are reflected as Due to custodian within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Expenses, if any, from U.S. cash overdrafts are reflected in Custody fees within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expenses, if any, from foreign cash overdrafts are reflected in Other expenses within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Commission recapture: The sub-adviser(s), to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may elect to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which other funds or portfolios advised by TAM have established a commission recapture program. A commission recapture program is any arrangement under which a broker/dealer applies a portion of the commissions received by such broker/dealer on the security transactions to the Funds. In no event will commissions, paid by the Funds, be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds or portfolios advised by TAM, or by any other party.

Commissions recaptured are included within Net realized gain (loss) within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2019, commissions recaptured are as follows. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have any commissions recaptured during the year.

 

Fund    Commissions
Recaptured
 

Global Real Estate Securities

   $   480  

International Value

     225  

Mid Cap Value

     917  

Statement of cash flows: GAAP requires entities providing financial statements that report both a financial position and results of operations to also provide a Statement of Cash Flows for each period for which results of operations are provided, but exempts investment companies meeting certain conditions. These conditions may include the enterprise had little or no debt, based on the average debt outstanding during the period, little or no illiquid investments, and little or no investments classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in relation to average total assets. Funds with certain degrees of borrowing activity, typically through the use of sale-buyback financing transactions, line of credit borrowing, short sale transactions, illiquid investments, or Level 3 classified securities have been determined to be at a level requiring a Statement of Cash Flows. A Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared for Long/Short Strategy using the indirect method which requires net change in net assets resulting from operations to be adjusted to reconcile to net cash flows from operating activities.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that 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 and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

4. SECURITY VALUATION

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include the Funds’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative instruments.

4. SECURITY VALUATION (continued)

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, using the “practical expedient” have not been classified in the fair value Levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments at October 31, 2019, is disclosed within the Security Valuation section of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is generally greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the determination of values may differ significantly from values that would have been realized had a ready market for investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Fair value measurements: Descriptions of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ significant categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Equity securities: Securities are stated at the last reported sales price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Foreign equity securities: Securities in which the primary trading market closes at the same time or after the NYSE, are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are categorized in Level 1. Because many foreign securities markets and exchanges close prior to the close of the NYSE, closing prices for foreign securities in those markets or on those exchanges do not reflect the events that occur after that close. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures or ETFs and the movement of certain indices of securities based on a statistical analysis of their historical relationship; such valuations generally are categorized in Level 2.

Investment companies: Certain investment companies are valued at the NAV of the underlying Funds as the practical expedient. These investment companies are not included within the fair value hierarchy. Certain other investment companies are valued at the actively traded NAV of the underlying funds and no valuation adjustments are applied. These investment companies are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities lending collateral: Securities lending collateral is invested in a money market fund which is valued at the NAV and no valuation adjustments are applied. Securities lending collateral is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Asset-backed securities: The fair value of asset-backed securities is estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

Commercial paper: Commercial paper is valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Corporate debt securities: The fair value of corporate debt securities is estimated using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. While most corporate debt securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3.

Foreign government obligations: Foreign government obligations are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. Foreign government obligations generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Mortgage-backed securities: The fair value of mortgage-backed securities is estimated based on models that consider issuer type, coupon, cash flows, mortgage prepayment projection tables and adjustable rate mortgage evaluations that incorporate index data,

periodic life caps and the next coupon reset date. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they are categorized in Level 3.

Municipal government obligations: The fair value of municipal government obligations and variable rate notes is estimated based on models that consider, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-want lists, offerings, market movements, the liquidity of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond or note insurance. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would generally be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they are categorized in Level 3.

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term notes: A Fund normally values short-term government and U.S. government agency securities using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. Short-term government and U.S. government agency securities generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

U.S. government agency obligations: U.S. government agency obligations are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs. Generally, agency issued debt securities are valued in a manner similar to U.S. government obligations. Mortgage pass-throughs include to be announced (“TBA”) securities and mortgage pass-through certificates. Generally, TBA securities and mortgage pass-throughs are valued using dealer quotations. Depending on market activity levels and whether quotations or other observable data are used, these securities are typically categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

U.S. government obligations: U.S. government obligations are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued by principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government obligations generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

Derivative instruments: Centrally cleared or listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contracts include forward, swap, swaption, and option contracts related to interest rates, foreign currencies, credit standing of reference entities, equity prices, or commodity prices. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products are modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case of interest rate swap and option contracts. The majority of OTC derivative products valued by the Funds using pricing models fall into this category and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or Level 3 if inputs are unobservable.

5. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT”): REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income producing real estate, or real estate related loans or interests. Distributions received by REITs are classified at management’s estimate of the dividend income, return of capital and capital gains. Estimates are based on information available at year-end, which includes the previous fiscal year’s classification. The actual amounts of dividend income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the fiscal year end and may differ from the estimated amounts. Upon notification from the REITs, some of the distributions received may be re-classified and recorded as a return of capital or capital gains. There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes, and interest rates.

REITs held at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in unregulated restricted securities. Restricted securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

Restricted securities held at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

5. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”): Certain Funds may invest in TIPS, which are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation/deflation. If the index measuring inflation/deflation rises or falls, the principal value of TIPS will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds and notes. For bonds and notes that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

TIPS held at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The adjustments, if any, to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to Interest income within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations, with a corresponding adjustment to Investments, at cost within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

When-issued, delayed-delivery, forward, and to be announced (“TBA”) commitment transactions: The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, forward and TBA commitment basis. When-issued and forward commitment transactions are made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds engage in when-issued and forward commitment transactions to obtain an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction. The Funds engage in when-issued and forward commitment transactions for the purpose of acquiring securities, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the Funds are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement.

Delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment by the Funds to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery transactions are outstanding, the Funds will segregate with their custodian either cash, U.S. government securities, or other liquid assets at least equal to the value or purchase commitments until payment is made. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. These transactions also involve a risk to the Funds if the other party to the transaction defaults on its obligation to make payment or delivery, and the Funds are delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When the Funds sell a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses on the security.

TBA commitments are entered into to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date, typically not to exceed 45 days. TBAs are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines, or the value of the security sold increases, prior to settlement date, in addition to the risk of decline in the value of a Fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities. TBA collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction and comparing that amount to the value of the collateral currently pledged by the Funds’ and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover the obligations of the Funds’ and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Cash collateral pledged at broker for TBA commitments or Cash collateral at broker for TBA commitments, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds’, if any, is disclosed within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Typically, the Funds’ are permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral it receives; however, the counterparty is not permitted. To the extent amounts due to the Funds’ are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds’ bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

When-issued, delayed-delivery, forward and TBA commitment transactions held at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Open trades, if any, are reflected as When-issued, delayed-delivery, forward and TBA commitments purchased or sold within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

6. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Funds may engage in borrowing transactions as a means of raising cash to satisfy redemption requests, for other temporary or emergency purposes or, to the extent permitted by their investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested in other securities or instruments. When the Funds invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Funds will bear the risk that the market value of the securities in which such proceeds are invested goes down and is insufficient to repay the borrowed proceeds. The Funds may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Funds enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Funds’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings.

6. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the Funds’ total assets, minus liabilities other than borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all borrowings. Although complying with this requirement has the effect of limiting the amount that the Funds may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

Interfund lending: The Funds, along with other funds and portfolios advised by TAM, may participate in an interfund lending program pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2017. This program allows the Funds to lend to and borrow from other funds and portfolios advised by TAM. Interfund lending transactions are subject to the conditions of the exemptive relief which place limits on the amount of lending or borrowing a Fund may participate in under the program. Interest earned or paid on an interfund lending transaction will be based on the average of certain current market rates. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds have not utilized the program.

Repurchase agreements: In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security and simultaneously commit to resell that security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Securities purchased subject to a repurchase agreement are held at the Funds’ custodian, or designated sub-custodian related to tri-party repurchase agreements, and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must be collateralized by securities with an aggregate market value greater than or equal to 100% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the securities can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the securities. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2019.

Repurchase agreements at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Reverse repurchase agreements: The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements in which the Funds sell portfolio securities and agree to repurchase them from the buyer at a specified date and price. The Funds may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be a form of borrowing. Pursuant to the terms of the reverse repurchase agreements, the Funds’ custodian must segregate assets with an aggregate market value greater than or equal to 100% of the repurchase price. In periods of increased demand for the security, the Funds may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Funds. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. The Funds are subject to the risk that the buyer under the agreement may file for bankruptcy, become insolvent, or otherwise default on its obligations to the Funds. In the event of a default by the counterparty, there may be delays, costs and risks of loss involved in the Funds exercising their rights under the agreement, or those rights may be limited by other contractual agreements.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds’ average borrowings are as follows. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have any reverse repurchase agreements during the year.

Sale-buyback: The Funds may enter into sale-buyback financing transactions. The Funds account for sale-buyback financing transactions as borrowing transactions and realize gains and losses on these transactions at the end of the roll period. Sale-buyback financing transactions involve sales by the Funds of securities and simultaneously contracts to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities at an agreed upon price and date.

6. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

The Funds forgo principal and interest paid during the roll period on the securities sold in a sale-buyback financing transaction. The Funds are compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “price drop”), as well as by any interest earned on the proceeds of the securities sold. Sale-buyback financing transactions may be renewed with a new sale and a repurchase price and a cash settlement made at each renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. Sale-buyback financing transactions expose the Funds to risks such as, the buyer under the agreement may file for bankruptcy, become insolvent, or otherwise default on its obligations to the Funds, the market value of the securities the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. The Funds’ obligations under a sale-buyback typically would be offset by liquid assets equal in value to the amount of the Funds’ forward commitment to repurchase the subject security. Sale-buyback financing transactions accounted for as borrowing transactions are excluded from the Funds’ portfolio turnover rates. The Funds recognize price drop fee income on a straight line basis over the period of the roll. For the year ended October 31, 2019, Total Return earned price drop fee income of $62. The price drop fee is included in Interest income within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The outstanding payable for securities to be repurchased, if any, is included in Payable for sale-buyback financing transactions within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The interest expense is included within Interest income on the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand of the security, the Funds may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Funds, and is reflected in Interest income on the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds’ average borrowings are as follows. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have any sale-buybacks during the year.

Open sale-buyback financing transactions at October 31, 2019, if any, are identified within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Securities lending: Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street serves as securities lending agent to the Funds pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the Funds to risks such as; the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities or may not be able to provide additional collateral, the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the Funds may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge cash collateral with a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities on non-U.S. fixed income investments, as well as on securities traded on U.S. exchanges. Loan counterparties pledge cash collateral with a value of at least 105% of the current value of the loaned securities for non-U.S. equity positions. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Funds in the case of default of any securities borrower.

Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust—Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. By lending securities, the Funds seek to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected in Net income from securities lending within the Statements of Operations and is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2019, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Short sales: A short sale is a transaction in which the Funds sell securities they do not own, but have borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the securities. The Funds are obligated to replace the borrowed securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Funds’ obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale is fully secured by collateral deposited with the custodian. In addition, the Funds consider the short sale to be a borrowing by the Funds that is subject to the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. Short sales represent an aggressive trading practice with a high risk/return potential, and short sales involve special considerations. Risks of short sales include that possible losses from short sales may be unlimited (e.g., if the price of stocks sold short rises), whereas losses from direct purchases of securities are limited to the total amount invested, and the Funds may be unable to replace borrowed securities sold short.

The Funds investing in short sales are liable for any dividends and/or interest payable on securities in a short position and these payables, if any, are reflected as Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds also bear other costs, such as charges for the prime

7. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds’ investment objectives allow the Funds to use various types of derivative contracts, including option contracts, swap agreements, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of the Funds’ investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to certain market risks, including:

Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of fixed income securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2019

 

7. RISK EXPOSURES AND THE USE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

Foreign exchange rate risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in the currency exchange rates.

Equity risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Credit risk: Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Funds.

Commodity risk: Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indices as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to sell or close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligations to the Funds. Investing in derivatives may also involve greater risks than investing directly in the underlying assets, such as losses in excess of any initial investment and collateral received. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

The Funds’ exposure to market risk factors and certain other associated risks are summarized by derivative type as follows:

Option contracts: The Funds are subject to equity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may enter into option contracts to manage exposure to various market fluctuations. The Funds may purchase or write call and put options on securities and derivative instruments in which each Fund owns or may invest. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask price established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option. The primary risks associated with options are an imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the option contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and an inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms. Options can be traded through an exchange or through privately negotiated arrangements with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded on an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse such as the Options Clearing Corp.

Options on exchange-traded funds and/or securities: The Funds may purchase or write options on ETFs and/or securities. Purchasing or writing options on ETFs and/or securities gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell a specified ETF and/or security as an underlying instrument for the option contract.

Options on foreign currency: The Funds may purchase or write foreign currency options. Purchasing or writing options on foreign currency gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the currency and will specify the amount of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a specified date.

Options on indices: The Funds may purchase or write options on indices. Purchasing or writing an option on indices gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the cash from the underlying index. The exercise of the option will result in a cash transfer and gain or loss depends on the change in the underlying index.

Options on futures: The Funds may purchase or write options on futures. Purchasing or writing options on futures gives the Funds the right, but not obligation to buy or sell a position on a futures contract at the specified option exercise price at any time during the period of the option.

Credit default swaptions: The Funds may purchase or write credit default swaption agreements which are options to enter into a pre-defined swap agreement by some specific date in the future. Purchasing or writing credit default swaptions gives the Funds the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell credit protection on a specific reference with a specific maturity.

Interest rate swaptions: The Funds may purchase or write interest rate swaption agreements which are options to enter into a pre-defined swap agreement by some specific date in the future. The writer of the swaption becomes the counterparty to the swap if the buyer exercises. The interest rate swaption agreement will specify whether the buyer of the swaption will be a fixed-rate receiver or a fixed-rate payer upon exercise.

Purchased options: Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds pay premiums, which are included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the

current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid from options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss.

Written options: Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing put options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Funds write a covered call or put option, the premium received is recorded as a liability within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from written options which expire unexercised are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Funds could result in the Funds selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current market value.

Open option contracts at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The value of purchased option contracts, as applicable, is shown in Investments, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of written option contracts, as applicable, is shown in Written options and swaptions, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap agreements: Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to exchange or swap investments, cash flows, assets, foreign currencies, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements can be executed in a bilateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction or executed on a regular market. Certain swaps regardless of the venue of execution are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“centrally cleared swap agreements”). Centrally cleared swap agreements listed or traded on a multilateral platform, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the corresponding exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swap agreements the clearing exchange requires all members to provide applicable levels across complete term levels. Centrally cleared interest rate swap agreements are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates including but not limited to the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to calculate the daily settlement price. The Funds may enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, including contracts for difference (“CFD”), and other forms of swap agreements to manage exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, and commodity risks. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Centrally cleared swap agreements are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors, which may include a registered exchange, or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as Variation margin receivable (payable) on centrally cleared swap agreements within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For OTC swap agreements, payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected in OTC swap agreements, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreements to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Additionally, these upfront payments, as well as any periodic payments received or paid by the Fund, including any liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap are recorded as part of Net realized gain (loss) on swap agreements within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Credit default swap agreements: The Funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds enter into credit default swap agreements to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. Credit default swap agreements involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security in the event of a defined credit event, such as payment default or bankruptcy (buy protection).

Under a credit default swap agreement, one party acts as a guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying security at par if the defined credit event occurs (sell protection). The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the notional amount of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

Certain Funds sell credit default swap agreements, which exposes them to risk of loss from credit risk related events specified in the contracts. Although contract-specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. If a defined credit event had occurred during the period, the swap

agreements’ credit-risk-related contingent features would have been triggered, and the Funds would have been required to pay the notional amounts for the credit default swap agreements with a sell protection less the value of the contracts’ related reference obligations.

Interest rate swap agreements: The Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Because the Funds hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk, the Funds enter into interest rate swap agreements. Under an interest rate swap agreement, two parties will exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. Funds with interest rate agreements can elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate, on a notional principal amount. The risks of interest rate swap agreements include changes in market conditions which will affect the value of the contract or the cash flows, and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparties over the contracts’ remaining lives, to the extent that amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral.

Total return swap agreements: The Funds are subject to commodity risk, equity risk, and other risks related to the underlying investments of the swap agreement, including CFDs, in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The value of the commodity-linked investments held by the Funds can be affected by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of particular industries or commodities, such as weather, disease, embargoes, acts of war or terrorism, or political and regulatory developments. Commodity-linked derivatives are available from a relatively small number of issuers, subjecting a Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivatives to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the commodity-linked derivative will not fulfill its contractual obligations. Total return swap agreements on commodities involve commitments whereby cash flows are exchanged based on the price of a commodity in exchange for either a fixed or floating price or rate. One party would receive payments based on the market value of the commodity involved and pay a fixed amount. Total return swap agreements on indices involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One counterparty pays out the total return of a specific reference entity, which may be an equity, index, or bond, and in return receives a regular stream of payments.

Open centrally cleared swap agreements and open OTC swap agreements at October 31, 2019, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts: The Funds are subject to equity and commodity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities and commodities, interest rates, or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or in securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid or received by the Funds, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. Upon entering into such contracts, the Funds bear the risk of equity and commodity prices, interest rates, or exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize losses. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Open futures contracts at October 31, 2019, if any, are listed within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Variation margin, if applicable, is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds are subject to foreign exchange rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, Managed Futures Strategy utilizes forward foreign currency contracts for speculative purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily, with the change in value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss and is shown in Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are settled, a realized gain or loss is incurred and is shown in Net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency contracts within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. Risks may arise from changes in market value of the underlying currencies and from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar master agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with their contract counterparties for certain OTC derivatives in order to, among other things, reduce credit risk to counterparties.

ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain OTC derivative financial instruments payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default, termination and/or potential deterioration in the credit quality of the counterparty.

Various Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties and typically attempt to reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Cross-termination provisions under Master Agreements typically provide that a default in connection with one transaction between the Funds and a counterparty gives the non-defaulting party the right to terminate any other transactions in place with the defaulting party to create one single net payment due to/due from the defaulting party and may be a feature in certain Master Agreements. In the event the Funds exercise their right to terminate a Master Agreement after a counterparty experiences a termination event as defined in the Master Agreement, the return of collateral with market value in excess of the Funds’ net liability may be delayed or denied.

Collateral requirements: Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange-traded derivatives (futures contracts, exchange-traded options, and exchange-traded swap agreements) while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (forward foreign currency exchange contracts, OTC options, and OTC swap agreements). For OTC derivatives, under standard derivatives agreements, a Fund may be required to pledge collateral on derivatives to a counterparty if the Fund is in a net liability position, and receive collateral if in a net positive position. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged by a Fund to cover obligations, if any, is reported in Cash collateral at broker within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cash collateral that has been received by a Fund from a counterparty, if

any, is reported separately in Cash collateral pledged at custodian and/or broker within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral pledged to each Fund, if any, is disclosed within the Schedule of Investments or Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has been made. Typically a counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. The Fund generally does not use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, interest may be paid pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty.

To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Additionally, to the extent the Fund has delivered collateral to a counterparty, the Fund bears the risk of loss from a counterparty in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral. Counterparties may immediately terminate derivatives contracts if a Fund fails to maintain sufficient asset coverage for its contracts or its net assets decline by stated percentages. Collateral may not be required for all derivative contracts.

The following is a summary of the Funds’ OTC derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of October 31, 2019. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset assets and liabilities that are subject to a master netting agreement or similar arrangement on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. See the Repurchase agreement section within the notes for offsetting and collateral information pertaining to repurchase agreements that are subject to master netting agreements. Funds not listed in the subsequent tables do not have master netting agreements for open derivative positions during the year.

8. RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Funds involves certain key risks related to the Funds’ trading activity. Please reference the Funds’ prospectuses for a more complete discussion of the following risk(s), as well as other risks of investing in the Funds.

Arbitrage strategy risk: Securities purchased pursuant to an arbitrage strategy intended to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the values of two or more securities and may not perform as expected.

Emerging market risk: Investments in the securities of issuers located in or principally doing business in emerging markets are subject to heightened foreign investments risks. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems and regulatory and accounting standards that are less fully developed, and that can be expected to be less stable. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Emerging market securities are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility. The Fund may be required to establish special custody or other arrangements before investing in emerging market countries. An investment in emerging market securities should be considered speculative.

Fixed income risk: The value of fixed income securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In addition, the value of a fixed income security may decline if the issuer or other obligor of the security fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. If the value of fixed-income securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment will go down. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. Interest rates have been at historically low levels in the U.S., so the Fund faces a heightened risk that interest rates may rise. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed-income securities. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities.

Foreign investment risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involves additional risk. Foreign countries in which a Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated, less transparent and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of a Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, political or financial instability or other adverse economic or political developments. Lack of information and weaker accounting standards also may affect the value of these securities.

Growth risk: Returns on growth stocks may not move in tandem with returns on other categories of stocks or the market as a whole. Growth stocks typically are particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations may not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors “value” stocks.

8. RISK FACTORS (continued)

 

High-yield debt risk: High-yield debt securities, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, are securities that are rated below “investment grade” or, if unrated, determined to be below investment grade by the sub-adviser. Changes in interest rates, the market’s perception of the issuers, the creditworthiness of the issuers and negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally may significantly affect the value of these bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid and may be more difficult to value than higher grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to adverse events, credit downgrades and negative sentiments.

LIBOR Risk: Many financial instruments, financings or other transactions to which the Fund may be a party use or may use a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is widely used in financial markets. In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s financial regulatory body announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. That announcement suggests that LIBOR may cease to be published or utilized after that time. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for that transition, but the effect of the transition process and its ultimate success cannot yet be determined. The transition process may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments the terms of which are based on LIBOR. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based investments. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021. The willingness and ability of issuers to include enhanced provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments also remains uncertain. Any of these factors may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or NAV.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) and real estate risk: Investing in real estate investment trusts “REITs” involves unique risks. When the Fund invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally associated with investing in real estate. A REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns, how well it manages those properties and cash flow. REITs may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In addition to its own expenses, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. U.S. REITs are subject to a number of highly technical tax-related rules and requirements; and a U.S. REIT’s failure to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to U.S. REITs could result in corporate-level taxation, significantly reducing the return on an investment to the Fund.

Small and medium capitalization risk: Small or medium capitalization companies may be more at risk than larger capitalization companies because, among other things, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on a limited management group. The prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of larger capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected than large capitalization companies by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses.

TAM is permitted to recapture amounts contractually waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the thirty-six months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class. A class may recapture and reimburse TAM only if such amount does not cause, on any particular business day of the Fund, the class’s total annual operating expenses (after the recapture is taken into account) to exceed the Operating Expense Limits or any other lower limit then in effect. Amounts recaptured, if any, by TAM for the year ended October 31, 2019 are disclosed in Recapture of previously waived and/or reimbursed fees within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the years ended October 31, 2017, October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019, the balances available for recapture by TAM for each Fund are as follows. Funds not listed in the subsequent table do not have balances available for recapture by TAM during the year.

Transfer agent fees: Pursuant to a transfer agency agreement, as amended, the Funds pay TFS a fee for providing services based on the number of classes, accounts and transactions relating to each Fund. The Transfer agent fees included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations represent fees paid to TFS, and other unaffiliated parties providing transfer agent related services.

Deferred compensation plan: Under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan effective January 1, 1996, (as amended and restated January 1, 2010), available to the trustees, compensation may be deferred that would otherwise be payable by the Trust to an independent trustee on a current basis for services rendered as trustee. Deferred compensation amounts will accumulate based on the value of the investment option, as elected by the trustee. Balances pursuant to deferred compensation plan are recorded in Trustees, Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2019, amounts included in Trustees, CCO and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect total compensation paid to the independent Board members.

Brokerage commissions: The Funds incurred no brokerage commissions on security transactions placed with affiliates of the adviser or sub-adviser(s) for the year ended October 31, 2019.

Cross-trades: The Funds are authorized to purchase or sell securities from and to other funds within TAF or between the Fund and other mutual funds or accounts advised by TAM or the sub-adviser, in each case in accordance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, when it is in the best interest of each Fund participating in the transaction.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds did not engage in cross-trade transactions.

11. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Funds have not made any provision 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. The Funds’ tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities three years from the date of filing for federal purposes and four years from the date of filing for state purposes. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in relation to interest and penalties expense in Other within the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; 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.

Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, interest written off, forward contracts mark-to-market, futures contracts mark-to-market, futures straddle adjustment, swaps, passive foreign investment companies, securities sold short, subpart F income and straddle loss deferral. 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 reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. The primary permanent differences are due to net operating losses, and investment in wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. These permanent reclassifications are as follows:

12. RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts prior to November 1, 2015, have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. The Trust concluded that it was appropriate to reclassify certain borrowing costs, which relate to charges from a broker for securities sold short positions, as an expense which is included in Dividends, interest and fees for borrowings from securities sold short within the Statements of Operations. Previously, the borrowing costs had been included in Net realized gain (loss) on securities sold short within the Statements of Operations. Corresponding reclassifications have been made to Net investment income (loss) per share, Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share and Expenses to average net asset ratios within the Financial Highlights. The impact of the reclassification is an increase to realized gain (loss) and total expenses, and a decrease in net investment income. All impacted amounts, as identified within the Financial Highlights, have been adjusted for purposes of comparability.

13. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”), “Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities”. ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional requirements and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820: Disclosure Framework), Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not eliminate the requirement to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, or the reporting of changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated and has early adopted the disclosure requirements and the impact is reflected within the Funds’ financial statements.

14. CUSTODY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

In December 2015, State Street, the Funds’ custodian, identified inconsistencies in the way in which clients were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed out-of-pocket costs, during an 18-year period going back to 1998. The issue was the result of inaccurate billing rates that were not subsequently reviewed or adjusted. The amount of the difference in what was charged and what should have been charged, plus interest, was paid back to the Funds in September 2016 as a reimbursement. The amounts applicable to each Fund, if any, were recognized as a change in accounting estimate and are reflected as a reimbursement of custody fees. This resulted in a decrease in net expenses and an overall increase in net assets. Please reference the Financial Highlights for additional information in regards to the per share impact.

15. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 27, 2018, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (“AUIM”) and Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that resolved an investigation into asset allocation models and volatility overlays utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to certain Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds, and related disclosures. TAM and TCI serve as investment manager and principal underwriter, respectively, to Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds. TCI also serves as the principal underwriter to the variable life insurance and annuity products through which certain Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds are offered. AUIM, an affiliate of TAM and TCI, serves as sub-adviser to a number of Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds.

15. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (continued)

 

The SEC’s order instituting administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings (the “Order”) pertains to events that occurred during the period between July 2011 and June 2015, and, among other things, the operation and/or implementation of an asset allocation model utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to certain Transamerica tactical funds and asset allocation funds, the designation of the portfolio manager for certain of these funds as well as the operation and/or implementation of volatility overlays utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to the asset allocation funds. The Order also states that the parties failed to make appropriate disclosures regarding these matters, including in marketing materials, and failed to have adequate compliance policies and procedures. AUIM ceased to serve as sub-adviser to the Transamerica tactical funds on April 30, 2015 and to the Transamerica asset allocation funds on June 30, 2015.

Under the terms of the Order, AUIM, TAM and TCI were censured, and agreed, without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain statutory provisions and SEC rules. AUIM agreed to pay civil penalties of $21,000,000, $24,599,896 in disgorgement and $3,682,195 in prejudgment interest. TAM agreed to pay civil penalties of $10,500,000, $15,000,000 in disgorgement and $2,235,765 in prejudgment interest. TCI agreed to pay civil penalties of $4,000,000, $12,000,000 in disgorgement and $1,826,022 in prejudgment interest. The amounts paid in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties have been deposited into a Fair Fund for distribution to affected investors. Affected investors are those who purchased or held the relevant mutual funds, variable life insurance and annuity investment portfolios and separately managed account strategies during the period between July 2011 and June 2015. The Order states that these investors are to receive from the Fair Fund the pro rata fees and commissions paid by them during that period, subject to any de minimis threshold.

The settlement does not impose any restrictions on the business or continued ability of AUIM, TAM or TCI to serve the funds.

The foregoing is only a brief summary of the Order. A copy of the Order is available on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov.

The funds are affected by many factors and risks: for example, the risk that the sub-advisers’ judgments and investment decisions, and methods, tools, resources, information, models and analyses utilized in making investment decisions, are incorrect or flawed, do not produce the desired results, and cause the funds to lose value. See “Principal Risks” in the prospectus.

The Order and settlement has no impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2019

Table of Contents

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on June 19-20, 2019, the Board considered the renewal of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Transamerica Funds, on behalf of each of the following funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”):

 

Transamerica Core Bond

   Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy

Transamerica Global Multifactor Macro

   Transamerica Mid Cap Value

Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities

   Transamerica Total Return

Transamerica Long/Short Strategy

  

For the Funds listed in the left column below, the Board also considered the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreements (each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and collectively the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between TAM and the corresponding sub-adviser(s) listed in the right column below (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively the “Sub-Advisers”) and the renewal of the investment sub-sub-advisory agreements (each a “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and collectively the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) with respect to the Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities Fund between BlackRock Investment Management, LLC and each of BlackRock International Limited and BlackRock (Singapore) Limited (each a “Sub-Sub-Adviser, and collectively the “Sub-Sub-Advisers”).

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement, each Sub-Advisory Agreement, and each Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2020.

Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and each Sub-Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and each Sub-Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Fund, and knowledge they gained over time through meeting with TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and each Sub-Sub-Adviser. Among other materials, the Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser and each Sub-Sub-Adviser. In their review, the Trustees also sought to identify Funds for which the performance, fees, total expenses and/or profitability appeared to be outliers within their respective peer groups or other comparative metrics, and sought to understand the reasons for such comparative positions.

In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met privately without representatives of TAM, any Sub-Adviser, or any Sub-Sub-Adviser present and were represented throughout the process by their independent legal counsel. In considering the proposed continuation of each of the Agreements, the Trustees evaluated and weighed a number of considerations that they believed to be relevant in light of the legal advice furnished to them by counsel, including independent legal counsel, and made a decision in the exercise of their own business judgment. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any particular consideration or item of information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and each Sub-Sub-Adviser to the applicable Fund in the past and the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board also considered the investment approach for each Fund; the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management; the financial resources of TAM; TAM’s management oversight process; TAM’s, each Sub-Adviser’s, and each Sub-Sub-Adviser’s responsiveness to any questions by the Trustees; and the professional qualifications and compensation program of the portfolio management team of each Sub-Adviser and

each Sub-Sub-Adviser. The Trustees noted that they receive, on a quarterly basis, an execution analysis from Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (CAPIS), an independent provider of trade analyses, for each applicable Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Adviser, and a comparison of trading results against a peer universe of managers.

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM, when acting as a manager of managers, for the portion of the management fee it retains from each Fund after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Fund and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Funds; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Funds; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Funds’ prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; and ongoing cash management services for the Funds. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to each Fund. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Funds, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder service functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Broadridge, and (ii) the Fund’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2018. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that TAM, each Sub-Adviser, and each Sub-Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the applicable Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. The Board’s conclusions as to performance are summarized below. In describing a Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize performance for the relevant periods in relation to whether it was “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, performance is described as “above” the median if a Fund’s performance ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise return was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median return).

When considering each Fund’s performance, the Trustees considered any representations made by TAM regarding the appropriateness of certain peer groups and benchmarks. They recognized that performance reflects a snapshot of a period as of a specific date, and that consideration of performance data for a different period could generate significantly different performance results. The Trustees also recognized that even longer-term performance can be negatively affected by performance over a short-term period when that short-term performance is significantly below the performance of the comparable benchmark or universe of peer funds.

Transamerica Core Bond. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 5-year periods and in line with the median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 1- and 5-year periods and below its benchmark for the past 3-year period.

Transamerica Global Multifactor Macro. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-year period and below the median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 1-year period and below its benchmark for the past 3-year period.

Transamerica Global Real Estate Securities. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was below the median for its peer universe and below its benchmark, each for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers had commenced subadvising the Fund on November 1, 2018 pursuant to its current investment objective, investment strategies and benchmark. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during the first quarter of 2019.

Transamerica Long/Short Strategy. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 3-year periods, in line with the median for the past 5-year period and below the median for the past

10-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its primary benchmark for the past 3-, 5- and 10-year periods and below its primary benchmark for the past 1-year period. The Board noted that the Fund’s Sub-Adviser had commenced subadvising the Fund on January 6, 2011 pursuant to its current investment strategies.

Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was below the median for its peer universe and below its benchmark, each for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Trustees observed that the performance of the Fund had improved during the first quarter of 2019.

Transamerica Mid Cap Value. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 5- and 10-year periods and in line with the median for the past 1- and 3-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 1-year period and below its benchmark for the past 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Trustees also noted recent changes in the portfolio management team at J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. The Trustees noted that TAM intends to monitor and report to the Board on the portfolio manager transition and performance going forward.

Transamerica Total Return. The Board noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was in line with the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 5- and 10-year periods and below the median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class I2 Shares of the Fund was above its benchmark for the past 3- and 10-year periods and below its benchmark for the past 1- and 5-year periods.

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund, including information provided by Broadridge comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund to the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Broadridge. The Board’s conclusions as to management fees and total expense ratios are summarized below. In describing a Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio relative to its peer group and peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize management fees and total expense ratios for the relevant periods in relation to whether they were “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer group or peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, management fees and total expense ratios are described as “above” the median if a Fund’s management fee or total expense ratio ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise management fee or total expense ratio was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median management fee or total expense ratio).

The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services and sub-sub-advisory services, as well as the portion of a Fund’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee(s) and sub-sub-advisory fees, and how the portion of the contractual management fee retained by TAM at a specified asset level compared to the portions retained by other investment advisers managing mutual funds with similar investment strategies as calculated by an independent provider of information.

Transamerica Core Bond. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were in line with the median for its peer group and below the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Global Multifactor Macro. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were below the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were below the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Mid Cap Value. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Total Return. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class I2 Shares of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the management fees, sub-advisory fees, and sub-sub-advisory fees to be received by TAM, the Sub-Advisers, and the Sub-Sub-Advisers under the Management Agreement, each Sub-Advisory Agreement, and each Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

The Board reviewed information provided by TAM about the cost of providing and procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration, transfer agency and other services, to each Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Fund and Transamerica Funds as a whole. The Trustees recognized the competitiveness of the mutual fund industry and the importance of an investment adviser’s long-term profitability, including for maintaining company and management stability and accountability.

The Board also considered the allocation methodology used for calculating the profitability of TAM and its affiliates. The Board noted that the revenue and expense allocation methodology used by TAM to estimate its profitability with respect to its relationship with the Funds had been reviewed previously by an independent consultant. The Trustees considered that TAM reported that it had not made material changes to this methodology, and that the methodology had been applied consistently for each Fund.

With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and the applicable Sub-Adviser, which is not affiliated with TAM, and are paid by TAM and not the applicable Fund. As a result, the Board focused on the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to the applicable Fund.

Based on this information, the Board determined that the profitability of TAM and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds was not excessive.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether the Fund had appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there was the potential for realization of any future economies of scale. The Board also considered the existence of economies of scale with respect to management of the Transamerica mutual funds overall and the extent to which the Funds benefited from any economies of scale. The Board recognized that, as a Fund’s assets increase, any economies of scale realized by TAM, a Sub-Adviser, or a Sub-Sub-Adviser may not directly correlate with each other or with any economies of scale that might be realized by the Fund. The Board considered each Fund’s management fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and also considered the extent to which TAM shared economies of scale, if any, with the Funds through undertakings to limit or reimburse Fund expenses and to invest in maintaining and developing its capabilities and services. The Board also considered each Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee schedule and each Sub-Sub-Adviser’s sub-sub-advisory fee schedule, and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and how such breakpoints relate to any breakpoints in the applicable Fund’s management fee schedule. The Board considered that certain Funds’ sub-advisory fees would be based on the combined assets of multiple funds. The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s fee structure reflected an appropriate sharing of any efficiencies or economies of scale to date and noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the management fees payable to TAM and the fees paid to the Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Sub-Advisers in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.

Benefits to TAM, its Affiliates, the Sub-Advisers, and/or the Sub-Sub-Advisers from their Relationships with the Funds

The Board considered other benefits derived by TAM, its affiliates, the Sub-Advisers, and/or the Sub-Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Funds. The Board noted that TAM does not receive benefits from research obtained with commissions paid to broker-dealers for portfolio transactions (“soft dollars”) as a result of its relationships with the Funds and that TAM believes the use of soft dollars by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. is generally appropriate and in the best interests of the applicable Funds. The Board also noted that J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. participates in a brokerage program pursuant to which a portion of brokerage commissions paid by each applicable Fund is recaptured for the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders, thus limiting the amount of soft dollar arrangements the Sub-Adviser may engage in with respect to a Fund’s brokerage transactions.

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Sub-Advisers. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment and undertaken certain business risks with respect to the management and success of the Funds.

Conclusion

After consideration of the factors described above, as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the renewal of the Management Agreement, each Sub-Advisory Agreement, and each Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders and voted to approve the renewal of the Agreements.

(unaudited)

The members of the Board (“Board Members”) and executive officers of the Trust are listed below.

Interested Board Member means a board member who may be deemed an “interested person” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust because of his current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM. Interested Board Members may also be referred to herein as “Interested Trustees.” Independent Board Member means a Board Member who is not an “interested person” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Trust and may also be referred to herein as an “Independent Trustee.”

The Board governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of the shareholders. The Board Members are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the business affairs of each fund and the operation of each fund by its officers. The Board also reviews the management of each fund’s assets by the investment manager and its respective sub-adviser.

Beginning January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds intend to no longer mail paper copies of the funds’ shareholder reports, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from a fund or your financial intermediary (such as broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be made available on a website and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically (“e-delivery”), you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from a fund electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you are a direct shareholder with a fund, by calling 1-888-233-4339.

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports where a fund is held through that intermediary. If you are a direct shareholder with a fund, you can call 1-888-233-4339 to let the fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. That election will apply to all Transamerica funds held directly with the fund complex.

Transamerica Funds   Annual Report 2019


Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of Transamerica Funds, I 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 professional in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Fund(s) during the fiscal year. The Securities and Exchange Commission currently requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe it to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides detailed information about your Fund(s) for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last fiscal year to provide a context for reading this report. As the period began, domestic and international markets were in the beginning phase of a fourth quarter decline which would eventually take the S&P 500® down almost 20% from its previous record high. Investor anxiety was primarily driven by two dynamics creating high levels of uncertainty as the year was concluding. These dynamics were Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy and the ongoing trade dispute with China.

Selling accelerated into year-end as the Fed implemented its fourth rate hike of the year and ninth since its tightening cycle had begun three years earlier. This played into developing market fears that the Fed was on the verge of a major policy error, of raising rates into a slowing economy. Parallel to concerns with the Fed, the market also grappled with deteriorating trade relations with China and the prospect of additional U.S. imposed tariffs. Together, these two concerns sent stocks sliding as the market experienced its worst month of December in more than eighty-five years. Unlike the equity markets, however, the December strains also garnered a flight to quality in U.S. Treasury bonds and a large downward move in the 10-year Treasury yield which fell by over a half a percent, from 3.24% on November 8th to 2.69% by the end of 2018.

As the calendar turned to 2019, the Fed quickly changed its perspective to one of patience, and it became clear to the market that no further rate hikes were likely in the immediate future. In May, markets were surprised to hear that a trade deal with China would not come to fruition as expected, and a new round of tariffs went into effect. This jolted stocks to some extent, however, the Fed acted quickly, first by signaling in June that it was ready to reverse course and begin reducing rates starting with a rate cut of 0.25% at the July meeting. As trade uncertainty with China continued and the rhetoric escalated, the Fed cut rates twice more in September and October, negating three of the four hikes from the year past. During the summer, investors also witnessed the inversion of the yield curve, as long-term Treasury rates fell below short-term rates, stoking recession fears. However, by late October, after the Fed had enacted its third rate cut of the year, long-term rates rose, and the yield curve moved back into a traditional upward slope.

In the credit markets, investment grade and high yield bonds began 2019 with elongated credit spreads as a result of the economic fears created from the Fed’s tightening activity toward the end of 2018 and the potential impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy. As both those fears thawed throughout the year, credit spreads narrowed, market fundamentals remained strong and corporate bonds posted strong returns throughout the first half of the year. International developed and emerging markets equities also recovered well during this time.

As the autumn months began, investors could also recognize the continued strength in the economy. The unemployment rate continued close to the lowest level in a half century, wages continued to grow, inflation remained benign and consumer spending progressed on a strong path. In this environment, lower rates also helped equity valuations as the market looked forward to higher earnings growth in 2020.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the S&P 500® Index returned 14.33% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, returned 11.63%. During the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%. Please keep in mind that 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 professional is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial professionals are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your professional, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline and your risk tolerance.

Please contact your financial professional if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.

Sincerely,

Disclosure of Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses.

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 May 1, 2019, and held for the entire six-month period until October 31, 2019.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The information in the table below 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), 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. If your account is an IRA, your expenses may have included an additional annual fee. The amount of any fee paid during the six-month period can decrease your ending account value.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The information in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. 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. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries, or other financial institutions.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the past year, global fixed income and global equity markets rallied. Within fixed income markets, for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 9.54%. Fixed income was supported by the dovish activity of global central banks. In the U.S., the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points three times since July. In August, the U.S. 2-year-10-year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade and the 30-year Treasury yield dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bank announced additional stimulus in September and reduced the deposit rate.

Within the U.S., large cap stocks strongly outperformed small cap stocks, with the S&P 500® Index returning 14.33% versus the Russell 2000® Index which returned 4.90%. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, when the S&P 500® Index returned 13.65%. Abroad, emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

Crude oil declined over the past year which was largely driven by the last two months of 2018. During that period, market concerns around over-supply spiked. Crude oil rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 due to tighter global supply conditions. This was driven by the U.S. reducing its drilling, combined with Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and Saudi Arabia affirming its commitment to cutting oil output. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout the fiscal year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015 (Class R6) returned 11.00%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2015 Index, returned 8.47%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) representing a variety of broad asset classes — equity, fixed income and inflation-hedging — and a variety of investment styles. The Fund is managed to the specific target date included in its name, which is intended to coincide, generally, with an investor’s retirement year. The Fund follows a particular glide path in which, over time, its target asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 10 years after the target date, when the asset mix will become static.

The Fund’s glide path includes the use of a dynamic rebalancing strategy, which seeks to limit an investor’s exposure to extended periods of market declines, in the five years before and after retirement. Dynamic Rebalancing systematically raises the Fund’s allocation to cash in response to rising volatility and declines in the Fund’s net asset value. This works best during extended market declines, and often leads to underperformance in sideways, or oscillating, markets.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2015 Index. Asset allocation effects were the primary factor in outperformance as the Fund held an overweight allocation to equities relative to its benchmark. Within fixed income, the allocation to U.S. core fixed income contributed the most. The Fund had positive absolute returns for the one year period. In absolute terms, all of the Fund’s underlying holdings posted positive returns. The top performing holdings were the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF and the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF. The worst performer was the Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF.

(A) Not annualized.

(B) The Dow Jones Target 2015 Index measures the performance of multi-asset-class portfolios with market risk profiles that become more conservative over time. Each Dow Jones Target Date Index is made up of composite indices representing equity securities, fixed income securities, and money market instruments. The asset class indices are weighted differently within each target date index depending on the time horizon. Each month, the allocations among the asset class indices are rebalanced to reflect an increasingly conservative asset mix.

The Dow Jones Target Date Indices are passively-managed indices designed to automatically adjust their asset allocations over time to reflect reductions in potential risk as an investor’s target date approaches. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The Transamerica ClearTrack® target date options invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which may represent a variety of broad asset classes including equity, fixed income, inflation-hedging, and short-term defensive instruments and may be subject to all of the risks of these asset classes. ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The market price of an ETF’s shares may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; and an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained, which may constrain liquidity. The allocations are intended to become more conservative over time: the fund’s asset mix allocated to equities will decrease while the percentage allocated to fixed income will increase as the target date approaches. The higher the allocation is to equities, the greater the risk. The principal value of the investment option is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss.

The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The Transamerica ClearTrack® target date options invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which may represent a variety of broad asset classes including equity, fixed income, inflation-hedging, and short-term defensive instruments and may be subject to all of the risks of these asset classes. ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The market price of an ETF’s shares may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; and an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained, which may constrain liquidity. The allocations are intended to become more conservative over time: the fund’s asset mix allocated to equities will decrease while the percentage allocated to fixed income will increase as the target date approaches. The higher the allocation is to equities, the greater the risk. The principal value of the investment option is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the past year, global fixed income and global equity markets rallied. Within fixed income markets, for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 9.54%. Fixed income was supported by the dovish activity of global central banks. In the U.S., the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points three times since July. In August, the U.S. 2-year-10-year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade and the 30-year Treasury yield dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bank announced additional stimulus in September and reduced the deposit rate.

Within the U.S., large cap stocks strongly outperformed small cap stocks, with the S&P 500® Index returning 14.33% versus the Russell 2000® Index which returned 4.90%. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, when the S&P 500® Index returned 13.65%. Abroad, emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

Crude oil declined over the past year which was largely driven by the last two months of 2018. During that period, market concerns around over-supply spiked. Crude oil rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 due to tighter global supply conditions. This was driven by the U.S. reducing its drilling, combined with Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and Saudi Arabia affirming its commitment to cutting oil output. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout the fiscal year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2025 (Class R6) returned 11.89%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2025 Index, returned 10.58%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) representing a variety of broad asset classes — equity, fixed income and inflation-hedging — and a variety of investment styles. The Fund is managed to the specific target date included in its name, which is intended to coincide, generally, with an investor’s retirement year. The Fund follows a particular glide path in which, over time, its target asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 10 years after the target date, when the asset mix will become static.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2025 Index. Asset allocation effects were the primary factor in outperformance as the Fund held an overweight allocation to equities relative to its benchmark. Within fixed income, the allocation to U.S. core fixed income contributed the most. The Fund had positive absolute returns for the one year period. In absolute terms, all of the Fund’s underlying holdings posted positive returns. The top performing holdings were the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF, and the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF. The worst performer was the Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the past year, global fixed income and global equity markets rallied. Within fixed income markets, for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 9.54%. Fixed income was supported by the dovish activity of global central banks. In the U.S., the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points three times since July. In August, the U.S. 2-year-10-year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade and the 30-year Treasury yield dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bank announced additional stimulus in September and reduced the deposit rate.

Within the U.S., large cap stocks strongly outperformed small cap stocks, with the S&P 500® Index returning 14.33% versus the Russell 2000® Index which returned 4.90%. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, when the S&P 500® Index returned 13.65%. Abroad, emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

Crude oil declined over the past year which was largely driven by the last two months of 2018. During that period, market concerns around over-supply spiked. Crude oil rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 due to tighter global supply conditions. This was driven by the U.S. reducing its drilling, combined with Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and Saudi Arabia affirming its commitment to cutting oil output. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout the fiscal year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2035 (Class R6) returned 12.22%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2035 Index, returned 11.34%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) representing a variety of broad asset classes — equity, fixed income and inflation-hedging — and a variety of investment styles. The Fund is managed to the specific target date included in its name, which is intended to coincide, generally, with an investor’s retirement year. The Fund follows a particular glide path in which, over time, its target asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 10 years after the target date, when the asset mix will become static.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2035 Index. Asset allocation effects were the primary factor in outperformance as the Fund held an overweight allocation to equities relative to its benchmark. Within fixed income, the allocation to U.S. core fixed income contributed the most. The Fund had positive absolute returns for the one year period. In absolute terms, all of the Fund’s underlying holdings posted positive returns. The top performing holdings were the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF, and the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF. The worst performer was the Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF.

(A) Not annualized.

(B) The Dow Jones Target 2035 Index measures the performance of multi-asset-class portfolios with market risk profiles that become more conservative over time. Each Dow Jones Target Date Index is made up of composite indices representing equity securities, fixed income securities, and money market instruments. The asset class indices are weighted differently within each target date index depending on the time horizon. Each month, the allocations among the asset class indices are rebalanced to reflect an increasingly conservative asset mix.

The Dow Jones Target Date Indices are passively-managed indices designed to automatically adjust their asset allocations over time to reflect reductions in potential risk as an investor’s target date approaches. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The Transamerica ClearTrack® target date options invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which may represent a variety of broad asset classes including equity, fixed income, inflation-hedging, and short-term defensive instruments and may be subject to all of the risks of these asset classes. ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The market price of an ETF’s shares may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; and an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained, which may constrain liquidity. The allocations are intended to become more conservative over time: the fund’s asset mix allocated to equities will decrease while the percentage allocated to fixed income will increase as the target date approaches. The higher the allocation is to equities, the greater the risk. The principal value of the investment option is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss.

Within fixed income markets, for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 9.54%. Fixed income was supported by the dovish activity of global central banks. In the U.S., the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points three times since July. In August, the U.S. 2-year-10-year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade and the 30-year Treasury yield dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bank announced additional stimulus in September and reduced the deposit rate.

Within the U.S., large cap stocks strongly outperformed small cap stocks, with the S&P 500® Index returning 14.33% versus the Russell 2000® Index which returned 4.90%. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, when the S&P 500® Index returned 13.65%. Abroad, emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

Crude oil declined over the past year which was largely driven by the last two months of 2018. During that period, market concerns around over-supply spiked. Crude oil rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 due to tighter global supply conditions. This was driven by the U.S. reducing its drilling, combined with Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and Saudi Arabia affirming its commitment to cutting oil output. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout the fiscal year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2045 (Class R6) returned 12.70%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2045 Index, returned 11.68%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) representing a variety of broad asset classes — equity, fixed income and inflation-hedging — and a variety of investment styles. The Fund is managed to the specific target date included in its name, which is intended to coincide, generally, with an investor’s retirement year. The Fund follows a particular glide path in which, over time, its target asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 10 years after the target date, when the asset mix will become static.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2045 Index. Asset allocation effects were the primary factor in outperformance as the Fund held an overweight allocation to equities relative to its benchmark. Within fixed income, the allocation to U.S. core fixed income contributed the most. The Fund had positive absolute returns for the one year period. In absolute terms, all of the Fund’s underlying holdings posted positive returns. The top performing holdings were the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF, and the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF. The worst performer was the Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF.

(B) The Dow Jones Target 2045 Index measures the performance of multi-asset-class portfolios with market risk profiles that become more conservative over time. Each Dow Jones Target Date Index is made up of composite indices representing equity securities, fixed income securities, and money market instruments. The asset class indices are weighted differently within each target date index depending on the time horizon. Each month, the allocations among the asset class indices are rebalanced to reflect an increasingly conservative asset mix.

The Dow Jones Target Date Indices are passively-managed indices designed to automatically adjust their asset allocations over time to reflect reductions in potential risk as an investor’s target date approaches. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The Transamerica ClearTrack® target date options invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which may represent a variety of broad asset classes including equity, fixed income, inflation-hedging, and short-term defensive instruments and may be subject to all of the risks of these asset classes. ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The market price of an ETF’s shares may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; and an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained, which may constrain liquidity. The allocations are intended to become more conservative over time: the fund’s asset mix allocated to equities will decrease while the percentage allocated to fixed income will increase as the target date approaches. The higher the allocation is to equities, the greater the risk. The principal value of the investment option is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss.

Within fixed income markets, for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 9.54%. Fixed income was supported by the dovish activity of global central banks. In the U.S., the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points three times since July. In August, the U.S. 2-year-10-year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade and the 30-year Treasury yield dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bank announced additional stimulus in September and reduced the deposit rate.

Within the U.S., large cap stocks strongly outperformed small cap stocks, with the S&P 500® Index returning 14.33% versus the Russell 2000® Index which returned 4.90%. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, when the S&P 500® Index returned 13.65%. Abroad, emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

Crude oil declined over the past year which was largely driven by the last two months of 2018. During that period, market concerns around over-supply spiked. Crude oil rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 due to tighter global supply conditions. This was driven by the U.S. reducing its drilling, combined with Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and Saudi Arabia affirming its commitment to cutting oil output. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout the fiscal year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2050 (Class R6) returned 12.62%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2050 Index, returned 11.73%.

ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The market price of an ETF’s shares may be above or below the shares’ net asset value; and an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained, which may constrain liquidity. The allocations are intended to become more conservative over time: the fund’s asset mix allocated to equities will decrease while the percentage allocated to fixed income will increase as the target date approaches. The higher the allocation is to equities, the greater the risk. The principal value of the investment option is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Over the past year, global fixed income and global equity markets rallied. Within fixed income markets, for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 9.54%. Fixed income was supported by the dovish activity of global central banks. In the U.S., the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points three times since July. In August, the U.S. 2-year-10-year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade and the 30-year Treasury yield dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bank announced additional stimulus in September and reduced the deposit rate.

Within the U.S., large cap stocks strongly outperformed small cap stocks, with the S&P 500® Index returning 14.33% versus the Russell 2000® Index which returned 4.90%. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, when the S&P 500® Index returned 13.65%. Abroad, emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019.

Crude oil declined over the past year which was largely driven by the last two months of 2018. During that period, market concerns around over-supply spiked. Crude oil rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 due to tighter global supply conditions. This was driven by the U.S. reducing its drilling, combined with Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and Saudi Arabia affirming its commitment to cutting oil output. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout the fiscal year.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended October 31, 2019, Transamerica ClearTrack® 2060 (Class R6) returned 12.92%. By comparison, its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2060 Index, returned 11.74%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) representing a variety of broad asset classes — equity, fixed income and inflation-hedging — and a variety of investment styles. The Fund is managed to the specific target date included in its name, which is intended to coincide, generally, with an investor’s retirement year. The Fund follows a particular glide path in which, over time, its target asset mix will gradually become more conservative until approximately 10 years after the target date, when the asset mix will become static.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Dow Jones Target 2060 Index. Asset allocation effects were the primary factor in outperformance as the Fund held an overweight allocation to equities relative to its benchmark. Within fixed income, the allocation to U.S. core fixed income contributed the most. The Fund had positive absolute returns for the one year period. In absolute terms, all of the Fund’s underlying holdings posted positive returns. The top performing holdings were the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF, and the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF. The worst performer was the Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF.

(B) The Dow Jones Target 2060 Index measures the performance of multi-asset-class portfolios with market risk profiles that become more conservative over time. Each Dow Jones Target Date Index is made up of composite indices representing equity securities, fixed income securities, and money market instruments. The asset class indices are weighted differently within each target date index depending on the time horizon. Each month, the allocations among the asset class indices are rebalanced to reflect an increasingly conservative asset mix.

The Dow Jones Target Date Indices are passively-managed indices designed to automatically adjust their asset allocations over time to reflect reductions in potential risk as an investor’s target date approaches. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains are reinvested and do not include any managerial expenses. The 10 Years or the Since Inception of Class calculation is based on the previous 10 years or since the inception date of the class, whichever is more recent. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The performance data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of taxes that would be paid on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Please see www.transamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund shares are sold without a sales load.

Performance figures reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager and any recoupment by the Investment Manager of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Absent any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements, the performance would be lower.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the Financial Highlights.

The Transamerica ClearTrack® target date options invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which may represent a variety of broad asset classes including equity, fixed income, inflation-hedging, and short-term defensive instruments and may be subject to all of the risks of these asset classes. ETFs generally present the same risks as an investment in a conventional fund that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies.

As of October 31, 2019, the only investors of the Funds are affiliated and eligible retirement plans as defined in the Funds’ current prospectus.

Each Fund, a “fund of fund”, invests the majority of its assets in underlying exchange-traded funds that are managed to track an index by unaffiliated investment advisers (hereafter referred to as “Underlying ETFs”). The shareholder reports of the Underlying ETFs, including the Schedule of Investments, should be read in conjunction with this report. The Underlying ETFs’ shareholder reports are not covered by this report.

This report must be accompanied or preceded by each Fund’s current prospectus, which contains additional information about the Funds, including risks, as well as investment objectives and strategies.

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) serves as investment manager for the Funds pursuant to an investment management agreement. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Funds. TAM supervises each Fund’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Funds.

TAM currently acts as a “manager of managers” and hires sub-advisers to furnish day-to-day investment advice and recommendations. TAM may, in the future, determine to provide all aspects of the day-to-day management of a Fund without the use of a sub-adviser. When acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, the design and development of the Funds and their investment strategies and the ongoing review and evaluation of those investment strategies including recommending changes in strategy where it believes appropriate or advisable; the selection of one or more sub-advisers for the Funds employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative screens, research, analysis and due diligence; negotiation of sub-advisory agreements and fees; oversight and monitoring of sub-advisers and recommending changes to sub-advisers where it believes appropriate or advisable; recommending fund combinations and liquidations where it believes appropriate or advisable; selection and oversight of transition managers, as needed; regular supervision of the Funds’ investments; regular review and evaluation of sub-adviser performance; daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Funds; regular review of holdings; ongoing trade oversight and analysis; regular monitoring to ensure adherence to investment process; regular calls and periodic on-site visits with sub-advisers; portfolio construction and asset allocation when using multiple sub-advisers for a Fund; risk management oversight and analysis; oversight of negotiation of investment documentation and agreements; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the valuation process; periodic due diligence reviews of pricing vendors and vendor

methodology; design, development, implementation and regular monitoring of the compliance process; respond to regulatory inquiries and determine appropriate litigation strategy, as needed; review of proxies voted by sub-advisers; oversight of preparation, and review, of materials for meetings of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), participation in these meetings and preparation of regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation, and review, of prospectuses, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; oversight of other service providers to the Funds, such as the custodian, the transfer agent, the Funds’ independent accounting firm and legal counsel; supervision of the performance of recordkeeping and shareholder relations functions for the Funds; and oversight of cash management services. TAM uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools to carry out its investment management services. TAM, not the Funds, is responsible for paying the sub-adviser(s) for their services, and sub-advisory fees are TAM’s expense.

TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Funds. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Funds and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Funds by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below: to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Funds from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian’s daily calculation of the Net Asset Values (“NAV”); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in the oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of Fund investments; assisting with Fund combinations and liquidations; oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Funds’ custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Funds; assisting the Funds in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Funds’ independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on a first in, first out basis. Interest income, if any, is accrued as earned. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from investment companies, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from investment companies are recorded as Dividend income from investments within the Statements of Operations. Long-term capital gain distributions received from investment companies, if any, are recorded as Net realized gain (loss) on Capital gain distributions received from investments within the Statements of Operations.

Multiple class operations, income, and expenses: Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class daily based upon net assets. Each class bears its own specific expenses in addition to the allocated non-class specific expenses.

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Commission recapture: The sub-adviser(s), to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may elect to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which other funds or portfolios advised by TAM have established a commission recapture program. A commission recapture program is any arrangement under which a broker/dealer applies a portion of the commissions received by such broker/dealer on the security transactions to the Funds. In no event will commissions, paid by the Funds, be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds or portfolios advised by TAM, or by any other party.

There were no commissions recaptured during the year ended October 31, 2019 by the Funds.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that 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 and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

3. SECURITY VALUATION

 

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds value their investments at the official close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) each day the NYSE is open for business.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels (“Levels”) of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include the Funds’ own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy that is assigned to the fair value measurement of a security is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using NAV per share, or its equivalent, using the “practical expedient” have not been classified in the fair value Levels. The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments at October 31, 2019, is disclosed within the Security Valuation section of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is generally greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the determination of values may differ significantly from values that would have been realized had a ready market for investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Fair value measurements: Descriptions of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ significant categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Exchange-traded funds (“ETF”): ETFs are stated at the last reported sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the ETF is principally traded. ETFs are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities lending collateral: Securities lending collateral is invested in a money market fund which is valued at the NAV and no valuation adjustments are applied. Securities lending collateral is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase agreements: Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

4. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

The Funds may engage in borrowing transactions as a means of raising cash to satisfy redemption requests, for other temporary or emergency purposes or, to the extent permitted by their investment policies, to raise additional cash to be invested in other securities or instruments. When the Funds invest borrowing proceeds in other securities, the Funds will bear the risk that the market value of the securities in which such proceeds are invested goes down and is insufficient to repay the borrowed proceeds. The Funds may borrow on a secured or on an unsecured basis. If the Funds enter into a secured borrowing arrangement, a portion of the Funds’ assets will be used as collateral. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the amount of their borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of the Funds’ total assets, minus liabilities other than borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all borrowings. Although complying with this requirement has the effect of limiting the amount that the Funds may borrow, it does not otherwise mitigate the risks of entering into borrowing transactions.

Interfund lending: The Funds, along with other funds and portfolios advised by TAM, may participate in an interfund lending program pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2017. This program allows the Funds to lend to and borrow from other funds and portfolios advised by TAM. Interfund lending transactions are subject to the conditions of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

4. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

exemptive relief which place limits on the amount of lending or borrowing a Fund may participate in under the program. Interest earned or paid on an interfund lending transaction will be based on the average of certain current market rates. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds have not utilized the program.

Repurchase agreements: In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security and simultaneously commit to resell that security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Securities purchased subject to a repurchase agreement are held at the Funds’ custodian, or designated sub-custodian related to tri-party repurchase agreements, and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must be collateralized by securities with an aggregate market value greater than or equal to 100% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the securities can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the securities. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.

Repurchase agreements are subject to netting agreements, which are agreements between the Funds and their counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Funds, through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented within the Schedule of Investments, and as part of Repurchase agreements, at value within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are shown on a gross basis. The value of the related collateral for each repurchase agreement, as reflected within the Schedule of Investments, exceeds the value of each repurchase agreement at October 31, 2019.

Repurchase agreements at October 31, 2019, if any, are included within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Securities lending: Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street serves as securities lending agent to the Funds pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the Funds to risks such as; the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities or may not be able to provide additional collateral, the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the Funds may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge cash collateral with a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities on non-U.S. fixed income investments, as well as on securities traded on U.S. exchanges. Loan counterparties pledge cash collateral with a value of at least 105% of the current value of the loaned securities for non-U.S. equity positions. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Funds in the case of default of any securities borrower.

Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust—Government Money Market Portfolio (the “Navigator”), a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. By lending securities, the Funds seek to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected in Net income from securities lending within the Statements of Operations and is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2019, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2019. Funds not listed in the subsequent table have not entered into secured borrowing transactions.

5. FEES AND OTHER AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

TAM, the Funds’ investment manager, is directly owned by Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company (“TPLIC”) and AUSA Holding, LLC (“AUSA”), both of which are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Aegon N.V. TPLIC is owned by Commonwealth General Corporation (“Commonwealth”). Commonwealth and AUSA are wholly owned by Transamerica Corporation, a financial services holding company whose primary emphasis is on life and health insurance, and annuity and investment products. Transamerica Corporation is owned by The Aegon Trust, which is owned by Aegon International B.V., which is owned by Aegon N.V., a Netherlands corporation, and a publicly traded international insurance group.

Transamerica Funds Services, Inc. (“TFS”) is the Funds’ transfer agent. Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) is the Funds’ distributor/principal underwriter. TAM, TFS, and TCI are affiliates of Aegon NV.

Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are also officers and/or trustees of TAM, TFS and TCI. No interested trustee who is deemed an interested person due to current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM receives compensation from the Funds. The Funds do pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as disclosed in Trustee, CCO and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Operations.

The Underlying ETFs have varied expense and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of Underlying ETFs at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary. Fund expenses do not include expenses of the Underlying ETFs in which the Funds invest. The Funds have material ownership interests in the Underlying ETFs.

Investment management fees: TAM serves as the Funds’ investment manager, performing administration as well as investment advisory services. TAM renders investment advisory, supervisory, and administration services under an investment management agreement and each Fund pays a single management fee, which is reflected in Investment management fees within the Statements of Operations.

Each Fund pays a management fee to TAM based on daily Average Net Assets (“ANA”) at the following rates:

 

Breakpoints    Rate  

First $2.5 billion

     0.38

Over $2.5 billion up to $4 billion

     0.37  

Over $4 billion

     0.36  

TAM has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses to the extent that the total operating expenses, including the pro rata share of expenses incurred through each Fund’s investment in the Underlying ETFs, but excluding, as applicable, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses, reorganization

TAM is permitted to recapture amounts contractually waived and/or reimbursed to a class during any of the thirty-six months from the date on which TAM waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the class. A class may recapture and reimburse TAM only if such amount does not cause, on any particular business day of the Fund, the class’s total annual operating expenses (after the recapture is taken into account) to exceed the Operating Expense Limits or any other lower limit then in effect. Amounts recaptured, if any, by TAM for the year ended October 31, 2019 are disclosed in Recapture of previously waived and/or reimbursed fees within the Statements of Operations.

For the years ended October 31, 2017, October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019, the balances available for recapture by TAM for each Fund are as follows:

Distribution and service fees: The Trust has a distribution plan (“Distribution Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Trust entered into a distribution agreement with TCI as the Funds’ distributor.

The Distribution Plan requires the Funds to pay distribution fees to TCI as compensation for various distribution activities, not as reimbursement for specific expenses. Under the Distribution Plan and distribution agreement, TCI, on behalf of the Funds, is authorized to pay various service providers, as direct payment for expenses incurred in connection with distribution of the Funds shares. The distribution and service fees are included in Distribution and service fees within the Statements of Operations.

Each Fund is authorized under the Distribution Plan to pay fees to TCI based on daily ANA of each class up to the following annual rates:

 

Class (A)    Rate  

Class R1

     0.50

Class R3

     0.25  

 

(A)   12b-1 fees are not applicable for Class R6.

Transfer agent fees: Pursuant to a transfer agency agreement, as amended, the Funds pay TFS a fee for providing services based on the number of classes, accounts and transactions relating to each Fund. The Transfer agent fees included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations represent fees paid to TFS, and other unaffiliated parties providing transfer agent related services.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, transfer agent fees paid and the amounts due to TFS are as follows:

Deferred compensation plan: Under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan effective January 1, 1996, (as amended and restated January 1, 2010), available to the trustees, compensation may be deferred that would otherwise be payable by the Trust to an independent trustee on a current basis for services rendered as trustee. Deferred compensation amounts will accumulate based on the value of the investment option, as elected by the trustee. Balances pursuant to deferred compensation plan are recorded in Trustees, Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2019, amounts included in Trustees, CCO and deferred compensation fees within the Statements of Operations reflect total compensation paid to the independent Board members.

7. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Funds have not made any provision 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. The Funds’ tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities three years from the date of filing for federal purposes and four years from the date of filing for state purposes. Management has evaluated the Funds’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. If applicable, the Funds recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in relation to interest and penalties expense in Other within the Statements of Operations. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; 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.

Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales. 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 reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. The primary permanent differences are due to distribution re-designations. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. There are no reclassifications in the current year.

As of October 31, 2019, the approximate cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the aggregate gross/net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the value of investments (including securities sold short and derivatives, if any) are as follows:

 

Fund   Cost     Gross

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820: Disclosure Framework), Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not eliminate the requirement to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, or the reporting of changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated and has early adopted the disclosure requirements and the impact is reflected within the Funds’ financial statements.

9. CUSTODY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

In December 2015, State Street, the Funds’ custodian, identified inconsistencies in the way in which clients were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed out-of-pocket costs, during an 18-year period going back to 1998. The issue was the result of inaccurate billing rates that were not subsequently reviewed or adjusted. The amount of the difference in what was charged and what

10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 27, 2018, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (“AUIM”) and Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that resolved an investigation into asset allocation models and volatility overlays utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to certain Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds, and related disclosures. TAM and TCI serve as investment manager and principal underwriter, respectively, to Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds. TCI also serves as the principal underwriter to the variable life insurance and annuity products through which certain Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds are offered. AUIM, an affiliate of TAM and TCI, serves as sub-adviser to a number of Transamerica-sponsored mutual funds.

The SEC’s order instituting administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings (the “Order”) pertains to events that occurred during the period between July 2011 and June 2015, and, among other things, the operation and/or implementation of an asset allocation model utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to certain Transamerica tactical funds and asset allocation funds, the designation of the portfolio manager for certain of these funds as well as the operation and/or implementation of volatility overlays utilized by AUIM when it served as sub-adviser to the asset allocation funds. The Order also states that the parties failed to make appropriate disclosures regarding these matters, including in marketing materials, and failed to have adequate compliance policies and procedures. AUIM ceased to serve as sub-adviser to the Transamerica tactical funds on April 30, 2015 and to the Transamerica asset allocation funds on June 30, 2015.

Under the terms of the Order, AUIM, TAM and TCI were censured, and agreed, without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain statutory provisions and SEC rules. AUIM agreed to pay civil penalties of $21,000,000, $24,599,896 in disgorgement and $3,682,195 in prejudgment interest. TAM agreed to pay civil penalties of $10,500,000, $15,000,000 in disgorgement and $2,235,765 in prejudgment interest. TCI agreed to pay civil penalties of $4,000,000, $12,000,000 in disgorgement and $1,826,022 in prejudgment interest. The amounts paid in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties have been deposited into a Fair Fund for distribution to affected investors. Affected investors are those who purchased or held the relevant mutual funds, variable life insurance and annuity investment portfolios and separately managed account strategies during the period between July 2011 and June 2015. The Order states that these investors are to receive from the Fair Fund the pro rata fees and commissions paid by them during that period, subject to any de minimis threshold.

The settlement does not impose any restrictions on the business or continued ability of AUIM, TAM or TCI to serve the funds.

The foregoing is only a brief summary of the Order. A copy of the Order is available on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov.

The funds are affected by many factors and risks: for example, the risk that the sub-advisers’ judgments and investment decisions, and methods, tools, resources, information, models and analyses utilized in making investment decisions, are incorrect or flawed, do not produce the desired results, and cause the funds to lose value. See “Principal Risks” in the prospectus.

The Order and settlement has no impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies

MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — CONTRACT RENEWAL

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) held on June 19-20, 2019, the Board considered the renewal of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Transamerica Funds, on behalf of each of the following funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”):

 

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015

   Transamerica ClearTrack® 2045

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2020

   Transamerica ClearTrack® 2050

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2025

   Transamerica ClearTrack® 2055

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2030

   Transamerica ClearTrack® 2060

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2035

   Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2040

  

For each Fund, the Board also considered the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between TAM and QS Investors, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”).

Following its review and consideration, the Board determined that the terms of the Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and that the renewal of each of the Agreements was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each of the Agreements through June 30, 2020.

Prior to reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and the Sub-Adviser certain information. They then reviewed such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, including information they had previously received from TAM and the Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Fund, and knowledge they gained over time through meeting with TAM and the Sub-Adviser. Among other materials, the Trustees considered comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, as well as fee, expense and profitability information prepared by TAM. To the extent applicable, the Trustees considered information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser. In their review, the Trustees also sought to identify Funds for which the performance, fees, total expenses and/or profitability appeared to be outliers within their respective peer groups or other comparative metrics, and sought to understand the reasons for such comparative positions.

In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met privately without representatives of TAM or the Sub-Adviser present and were represented throughout the process by their independent legal counsel. In considering the proposed continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees evaluated and weighed a number of considerations that they believed to be relevant in light of the legal advice furnished to them by counsel, including independent legal counsel, and made a decision in the exercise of their own business judgment. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any particular consideration or item of information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by TAM and the Sub-Adviser to the applicable Fund in the past and the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board also considered the investment approach for each Fund; the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management; the financial resources of TAM; TAM’s management oversight process; TAM’s and the Sub-Adviser’s responsiveness to any questions by the Trustees; and the professional qualifications and compensation program of the portfolio management team of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees noted that they receive, on a quarterly basis, an execution analysis from Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (CAPIS), an independent provider of trade analyses, for the Sub-Adviser and a comparison of trading results against a peer universe of managers.

The Board also considered the continuous and regular investment management and other services provided by TAM, when acting as a manager of managers, for the portion of the management fee it retains from each Fund after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The Board noted that the investment management and other services provided by TAM include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of each Fund and its investment strategy; the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Funds; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Funds; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and exercise of rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Funds’ prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Funds; and ongoing cash management services for the Funds. The Board considered that TAM’s investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to each Fund. The Board also noted that TAM, as part of the services it provides to

(unaudited)

 

all Transamerica mutual funds, including the Funds, oversees the services provided by the funds’ custodian, transfer agent, independent accountant and legal counsel and supervises the performance of the recordkeeping and shareholder service functions of the funds.

Investment Performance

In addition, the Board considered the short- and longer-term performance, as applicable, of each Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Broadridge, and (ii) the Fund’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2018. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that TAM and the Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the applicable Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. The Board’s conclusions as to performance are summarized below. In describing a Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize performance for the relevant periods in relation to whether it was “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, performance is described as “above” the median if a Fund’s performance ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise return was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median return).

When considering each Fund’s performance, the Trustees considered any representations made by TAM regarding the appropriateness of certain peer groups and benchmarks. They recognized that performance reflects a snapshot of a period as of a specific date, and that consideration of performance data for a different period could generate significantly different performance results. The Trustees also recognized that even longer-term performance can be negatively affected by performance over a short-term period when that short-term performance is significantly below the performance of the comparable benchmark or universe of peer funds.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015. The Board noted that the performance of Class R6 Shares of the Fund was below the median for its peer universe and below its benchmark, each for the past 1- and 3-year periods.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance had improved since the Fund’s glide path was adjusted on March 1, 2018.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2040. The Board noted that the performance of Class R6 Shares of the Fund was in line with the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 3-year periods. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R6 Shares of the Fund was below its benchmark for the past 1- and 3-year periods.

Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income. The Board noted that the performance of Class R6 Shares of the Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-year period and in line with the median for the past 3-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of Class R6 Shares of the Fund was above its composite benchmark for the past 1-year period and below its composite benchmark for the past 3-year period.

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund, including information provided by Broadridge comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund to the management fees and total expense ratios of comparable investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Broadridge. The Board’s conclusions as to management fees and total expense ratios are summarized below. In describing a Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio relative to its peer group and peer universe, the summary conclusions characterize management fees and total expense ratios for the relevant periods in relation to whether they were “above,” “below” or “in line with” the peer group or peer universe median and do so using quintile rankings prepared by Broadridge. For simplicity, management fees and total expense ratios are described as “above” the median if a Fund’s management fee or total expense ratio ranked anywhere in the fourth or fifth quintiles, as “below” the median if it ranked anywhere in the first or second quintiles, or “in line with” the median if it ranked anywhere in the third quintile (i.e., even if its precise management fee or total expense ratio was somewhat above or somewhat below the precise median management fee or total expense ratio).

The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services, as well as the portion of a Fund’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee and how the portion of the contractual management fee retained by TAM at a specified asset level compared to the portions retained by other investment advisers managing mutual funds with similar investment strategies as calculated by an independent provider of information.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2015. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R6 Shares of the Fund were above the median for its peer group and below the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2020. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R6 Shares of the Fund were above the median for its peer group and below the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2025. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R6 Shares of the Fund were above the median for its peer group and below the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2030. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R6 Shares of the Fund were in line with the median for its peer group and below the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2050. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R6 Shares of the Fund were in line with the median for its peer group and below the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2055. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R6 Shares of the Fund were below the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® 2060. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R6 Shares of the Fund were in line with the median for its peer group and below the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica ClearTrack® Retirement Income. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of Class R6 Shares of the Fund were above the median for its peer group and below the median for its peer universe. The Trustees also considered that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the management and sub-advisory fees to be received by TAM and the Sub-Adviser under the Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Cost of Services Provided and Level of Profitability

The Board reviewed information provided by TAM about the cost of providing and procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration, transfer agency and other services, to each Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Fund and Transamerica Funds as a whole. The Trustees recognized the competitiveness of the mutual fund industry and the importance of an investment adviser’s long-term profitability, including for maintaining company and management stability and accountability.

The Board also considered the allocation methodology used for calculating the profitability of TAM and its affiliates. The Board noted that the revenue and expense allocation methodology used by TAM to estimate its profitability with respect to its relationship with the Funds had been reviewed previously by an independent consultant. The Trustees considered that TAM reported that it had not made material changes to this methodology, and that the methodology had been applied consistently for each Fund.

With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and the Sub-Adviser, which is not affiliated with TAM, and are paid by TAM and not the applicable Fund. As a result, the Board focused on the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to the applicable Fund.

Based on this information, the Board determined that the profitability of TAM and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds was not excessive.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether the Fund had appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there was the potential for realization of any future economies of scale. The Board also considered the existence of economies of scale with respect to management of the Transamerica mutual funds overall and the extent to which the Funds benefited from any economies of scale. The Board recognized that, as a Fund’s assets increase, any economies of scale realized by TAM or the Sub-Adviser may not directly correlate with each other or with any economies of scale that might be realized by the Fund. The Board considered each Fund’s management fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints and also considered the extent to which TAM shared economies of scale, if any, with the Funds through undertakings to limit or reimburse Fund expenses and to invest in maintaining and developing its capabilities and services. The Board also considered the Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints and how such breakpoints relate to any breakpoints in the applicable Fund’s management fee schedule. The Board considered that the Funds’ sub-advisory fees would be based on the combined assets of multiple funds. The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s fee structure reflected an appropriate sharing of any efficiencies or economies of scale to date and noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the management fees payable to TAM and the fees paid to the Sub-Adviser in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.

Benefits to TAM, its Affiliates and the Sub-Adviser from their Relationships with the Funds

The Board considered other benefits derived by TAM, its affiliates, and/or the Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Funds. The Board noted that TAM does not receive benefits from research obtained with commissions paid to broker-dealers for portfolio transactions (“soft dollars”) as a result of its relationships with the Funds.

Other Considerations

The Board noted that TAM has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage each Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board favorably considered the procedures and policies TAM has in place to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment and undertaken certain business risks with respect to the management and success of the Funds.

Conclusion

After consideration of the factors described above, as well as other factors, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the renewal of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders and voted to approve the renewal of the Agreements.

Management of the Trust

Board Members and Officers

(unaudited)

The members of the Board (“Board Members”) and executive officers of the Trust are listed below.

Interested Board Member means a board member who may be deemed an “interested person” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust because of his current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM. Interested Board Members may also be referred to herein as “Interested Trustees.” Independent Board Member means a Board Member who is not an “interested person” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Trust and may also be referred to herein as an “Independent Trustee.”

The Board governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of the shareholders. The Board Members are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the business affairs of each fund and the operation of each fund by its officers. The Board also reviews the management of each fund’s assets by the investment manager and its respective sub-adviser.

The funds are among the funds managed and sponsored by TAM (collectively, “Transamerica Fund Family”). The Transamerica Fund Family consists of (i) Transamerica Funds (“TF”); (ii) Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”); (iii) Transamerica ETF Trust (“TET”); and (iv) Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (“TAAVF”). The Transamerica Fund Family consists of 133 funds as of the date of this Annual Report. With the exception of Mr. Smit, none of the Board Members serve on the board of trustees of TET. TET is overseen by a separate board of trustees.

The mailing address of each Board Member is c/o Secretary, 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, Colorado 80202.

Further information about the Fund’s Directors and Officers is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained without charge by calling 1-888-233-4339 or visiting the Fund’s website at www.transamerica.com.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Registrant’s Audit Committee must preapprove (i) all audit and non-audit services performed for the Registrant by the independent accountant and (ii) all non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent accountant for the Registrant’s investment adviser, and certain of the adviser’s affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Registrant, if the services to be provided by the accountant relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant.

The Audit Committee may delegate preapproval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated shall report any preapproval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

In accordance with the Procedures, the annual audit services engagement terms and fees for the Registrant will be subject to the preapproval of the Audit Committee. In addition to the annual audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant preapproval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent accountant reasonably can provide.

Requests or applications to provide services that require separate approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent accountant and the Registrant’s treasurer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commissions’ rules on auditor independence.

Management will promptly report to the Chair of the Audit Committee any violation of this Procedure of which it becomes aware.
