Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds, we would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial adviser in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.

This semi-annual report is provided to you with the intent of presenting a comprehensive review of the investments of each of your funds. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be sent to all shareholders, and we believe this report to be an important part of the investment process. In addition to providing a comprehensive review, this report also provides a discussion of accounting policies as well as matters presented to shareholders that may have required their vote.

We believe it is important to understand market conditions over the last six months in order to provide a context for reading this report. As 2012 began, the crisis in Europe was occupying center stage. Fear of a large European bank failure causing a global banking crisis had previously driven global asset prices down. The European Central Bank responded by lending troubled European banks over one trillion Euros and the Federal Reserve made unlimited dollars available to the European Central Bank. The combined effect was to relieve pressure on the European banks. In turn, the banks used some of this money to buy sovereign bonds which further reduced market pressure. Relieved investors jumped back into risk assets and equity markets across the globe rallied strongly throughout the first quarter of the year. At the same time, the U.S. economy and corporate earnings picked up steam. Equity and bond markets followed suit.

However, the underlying economic imbalances were not addressed and as summer arrived, an economic contraction began appearing in many countries across the globe. As a result, the global equity and corporate bond markets gave up part of their gains as investors sought safety. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index returned 6.83%, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index returned 9.49%, and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.37%. It is always important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial adviser is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial advisers are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial adviser, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline, and your risk tolerance.

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

Sincerely,

 

Thomas A. Swank    Christopher A. Staples

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses

 

 

(unaudited)

UNIT HOLDER EXPENSES

Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (individually, a “Subaccount” and collectively, the “Subaccounts”) is a separate investment account established by Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, Inc. (“TFLIC”), and is used as an investment vehicle under certain tax-deferred annuity contracts issued by TFLIC. Each Subaccount invests in underlying subaccounts of Transamerica Partners Variable Funds (“TPVF”), a unit investment trust. As a contractholder of a Subaccount, you will bear the ongoing costs of managing the corresponding subaccount in which your Subaccount invests. You will also bear the cost of operating the Subaccount. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Subaccounts 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 January 1, 2012 and held for the entire period until June 30, 2012.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Expenses” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number shown under the heading “Expenses paid during Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Expenses” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Subaccount’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Subaccount’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Subaccount 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.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (the “Separate Account”), is a non-diversified separate account of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“TFLIC”), and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a management investment company. The Separate Account is composed of three different subaccounts that are separate investment funds: Transamerica Asset Allocation—Short Horizon Subaccount (“Short Horizon”), Transamerica Asset Allocation—Intermediate Horizon Subaccount (“Intermediate Horizon”), and Transamerica Asset Allocation—Intermediate/Long Horizon Subaccount (“Intermediate/Long Horizon”) (individually, a “Subaccount” and collectively, the “Subaccounts”). Each Subaccount invests all of its investable assets among certain Transamerica Partners Variable Funds (“TPVF”). Certain TPVF subaccounts invest all their investable assets in the Transamerica Partners Portfolios.

This report should be read in conjunction with the Subaccounts’ current prospectus, which contains more complete information about the Subaccounts, including investment objectives and strategies.

In the normal course of business, the Separate Account enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Separate Account’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Separate Account and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Separate Account expects the risk of loss to be remote.

In preparing the Separate Account’s financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), estimates or assumptions may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Separate Account.

Operating expenses: The Separate Account accounts separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of each Subaccount. Each Subaccount will indirectly bear its share of fees and expenses incurred by TPVF in which it invests. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses in the Statements of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.

Security transactions: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Net realized gain (loss) from investments in affiliates for the Subaccounts are from investments in units of affiliated investment companies.

NOTE 2. SECURITY VALUATIONS

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The value of each Subaccount’s investment in a corresponding subaccount of TPVF is valued at the unit value per share of each Subaccount determined as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally, 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, each day the NYSE is open for business. The Subaccount utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 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, that 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, which may include Transamerica Asset Management, Inc.’s (“TAM”) Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the sub-advisor, issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.

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, TAM’s Valuation Committee’s 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.

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.

NOTE 2. (continued)

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

Investment company securities: Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying subaccounts. These securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied. They are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Subaccounts’ investments at June 30, 2012, are disclosed in the Valuation Summary of each of the Subaccounts’ Schedule of Investments.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Separate Account has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with TAM. TAM is directly owned by Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio and AUSA Holding Company (“AUSA”), both of which are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of AEGON NV. AUSA is wholly-owned by AEGON USA, LLC (“AEGON USA”), a financial services holding company whose primary emphasis is on life and health insurance, and annuity and investment products. AEGON USA is owned by AEGON US Holding Corporation, which is owned by Transamerica Corporation (DE). Transamerica Corporation (DE) is owned by The AEGON Trust, which is owned by AEGON International B.V., which is owned by AEGON NV, a Netherlands corporation, and a publicly traded international insurance group.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement TAM provides general investment advice to each Subaccount. For providing these services and facilities and for bearing the related expenses, TAM receives a monthly fee from each Subaccount which is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of the average daily net assets of each Subaccount.

TFLIC is the legal holder of the assets in the Subaccounts and will at all times maintain assets in the Subaccounts with a total market value of at least equal to the contract liabilities for the Subaccounts.

Certain Managing Board Members and officers of TFLIC are also trustees, officers or employees of TAM or its affiliates. No interested Managing Board Members receives compensation from the Separate Account. Similarly, none of the Separate Account’s officers receive compensation from the Subaccounts. The independent board members are also trustees of the Transamerica Partners Portfolios for which they receive fees.

Deferred compensation plan: Under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, effective January 1, 1996, as amended and restated (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), 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 investment options under Transamerica Partners Institutional Funds and Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation Funds, or the value of Class A (or comparable) shares of a series of Transamerica Funds (without imposition of sales charge), as elected by the Trustee.

NOTE 4. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The cost of affiliated investments purchased and proceeds from affiliated investments sold for the period ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

 

     Purchases of affiliated investments:      Proceeds from maturities and
sales of affiliated investments:
 

Fund

   Long-term      U.S. Government      Long-term      U.S. Government  

Short Horizon

   $ 2,197       $ —         $ 2,337       $ —     

Intermediate Horizon

     2,866         —           3,024         —     

Intermediate/Long Horizon

     4,142         —           5,107         —     

NOTE 5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The operations of the Separate Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the operations of TFLIC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON USA. TFLIC does not expect, based upon current tax law, to incur any income tax upon the earnings or realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon this expectation, no charges are currently being deducted from the Separate Account for federal income tax purposes. Management has evaluated the Separate Account’s tax positions taken for all open tax years (2008-2010), or expected to be taken in the Separate Account’s 2011 tax returns. Each subaccount is 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.

NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements, and determined that no other material events or transactions would require recognition or disclosure in the Subaccounts’ financial statements.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – CONTRACT RENEWAL

(unaudited)

At a meeting of the Managing Board of Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (the “Board”) held on June 13-14, 2012, the Board reviewed and considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreements (each, an “Investment Advisory Agreement” and collectively the “Investment Advisory Agreements”) between each of Transamerica Asset Allocation—Intermediate Horizon Subaccount, Transamerica Asset Allocation—Intermediate/Long Horizon Subaccount, and Transamerica Asset Allocation—Short Horizon Subaccount (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”).

Following their review and consideration, the Board Members determined that the terms of each Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and that the renewal of each agreement is in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Board Members”), unanimously approved the renewal of each Investment Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2013. In reaching their decision, the Board Members requested and received from TAM such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreements. The Board Members also considered information they had previously received from TAM as part of their regular oversight of each Fund, as well as comparative fee, expense, and performance information prepared by TAM based on information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, and other fee and expense information and profitability data prepared by TAM.

In their deliberations, the Independent Board Members had the opportunity to meet privately without representatives of TAM present and were represented throughout the process by independent legal counsel. In considering the proposed continuation of each Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board Members evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by independent legal counsel and their own business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular information that was controlling of their decisions, and each Board Member 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 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; and the professional qualifications of TAM’s portfolio management team.

Based on these considerations, the Board determined that TAM can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the applicable Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

Investment Performance

The Board considered the short- and longer-term performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against a peer universe of mutual funds, based on Lipper information, for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2011. On the basis of this information and the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by TAM, the Board concluded that TAM is capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the applicable Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.

Management Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund, including information comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund to the management fees and total expense ratios of peer investment companies, based on Lipper information. On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the management fees to be received by TAM under the Investment Advisory Agreements 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 fund management services, as well as the costs of the provision of administration and other services, to each Fund by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Fund, as well as the allocation methodology used for calculating profitability.

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 further economies of scale. The Board also considered the existence of economies of scale with respect to management of the Transamerica funds overall and the extent to which the Funds benefited from these economies of scale. 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 with the Funds through investments in capabilities and services. The Board Members concluded that each Fund’s fee structure reflected economies of scale to date but noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether each Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM, in the future.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – CONTRACT RENEWAL (continued)

(unaudited)

Benefits to TAM or its Affiliates from their Relationships with the Funds

The Board considered any other benefits derived by TAM and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that TAM does not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationship 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. The Board also noted that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Funds.

Conclusion

After consideration of the factors described above, as well as other factors, the Board Members, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the renewal of each Investment Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders and voted to approve the renewal of each Investment Advisory Agreement.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (all amounts in thousands):

 

^ All or a portion of this security is on loan. The value of all securities on loan is $160,362.
p Rate shown reflects the yield at 06/29/2012.
a A portion of this security in the amount of $5,980 has been segregated as collateral with the broker for open swap contracts and/or for swaptions.
g A portion of this security in the amount of $2,529 has been segregated as collateral with the broker to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts.
* Floating or variable rate note. Rate is listed as of 06/29/2012.
¥ Percentage rounds to less than 0.1%.
Џ In default.
Ž The security has a perpetual maturity. The date shown is the next call date.
ə Fair valued as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Total aggregate market value of fair valued securities is less than $1, or less than 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets.
Non-income producing security.
Ώ Payment in-kind. Securities pay interest or dividends in the form of additional bonds or preferred stock.
P Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is $1,929,114. Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/depreciation for all securities in which there is an excess of value over tax cost were $49,149 and $27,999, respectively. Net unrealized appreciation for tax purposes is $21,150.
p Cash in the amount of $1,800 has been pledged by the broker as collateral with the custodian for open swap contracts and/or swaptions.
u Amount is less than 1.
§ Illiquid. Total aggregate market value of illiquid securities is less than $1, or less than 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets.

 

(1) If the portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the portfolio will either (a) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (b) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(2) 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.
(3) The maximum potential amount the portfolio could be required to make 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.
(4) If the portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the portfolio 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 index or (b) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(5) 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, represent a deterioration of the references 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.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica Partners Portfolios (the “Series Portfolio”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and was organized as a series trust under the laws of the State of New York. The Series Portfolio is composed of fifteen different series that are, in effect, separate investment funds: Transamerica Partners Money Market Portfolio (“Money Market”), Transamerica Partners High Quality Bond Portfolio (“High Quality Bond”), Transamerica Partners Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio (“Inflation-Protected Securities”), Transamerica Partners Core Bond Portfolio (“Core Bond”), Transamerica Partners High Yield Bond Portfolio (“High Yield Bond”), Transamerica Partners Balanced Portfolio (“Balanced”), Transamerica Partners Large Value Portfolio (“Large Value”), Transamerica Partners Large Core Portfolio (“Large Core”), Transamerica Partners Large Growth Portfolio (“Large Growth”), Transamerica Partners Mid Value Portfolio (“Mid Value”), Transamerica Partners Mid Growth Portfolio (“Mid Growth”), Transamerica Partners Small Value Portfolio (“Small Value”), Transamerica Partners Small Core Portfolio (“Small Core”), Transamerica Partners Small Growth Portfolio (“Small Growth”), and Transamerica Partners International Equity Portfolio (“International Equity”) (each a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio issues shares of beneficial interest only in private placement transactions that do not involve a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Only “accredited investors”, as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, may invest in the Portfolios. Accredited investors include investment companies, insurance company separate accounts, common or commingled trust funds, or other similar organizations or entities.

This report should be read in conjunction with the Portfolios’ current prospectus, which contains more complete information about the Portfolios, including investment objectives and strategies.

In the normal course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss to be remote.

In preparing the Portfolios’ financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Portfolios.

Repurchase agreements: Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are held at the Portfolios’ custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreements, must be collateralized by securities with an aggregate market value greater than or equal to 100% of the resale price. The Portfolios 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rates in effect when the investment was acquired. Each Portfolio 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: 1) foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions; 2) gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts; and 3) 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.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Portfolios are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily, with the change in value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contracts are settled, a realized gain or loss is incurred. 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.

Open forward foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2012 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.

NOTE 1. (continued)

Option and swaption contracts: The Portfolios are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, enter into option contracts to manage exposure to various market fluctuations. Options are valued at the average of the bid and ask (“Mean Quote”) established each day at the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. 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.

The Portfolios write call and put options/swaptions on futures, swaps, securities, or currencies they own or in which they may invest. When a Portfolio writes a covered call or a put option/swaption, an amount equal to the premium received by a Portfolio is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. Premiums received from writing options/swaptions which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options/swaptions which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option/swaption written.

The Portfolios purchase put and call options/swaptions on foreign or U.S. securities, indices, futures, swaps, and commodities. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolios pay premiums, which are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options/swaptions which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, swaps, security, commodity, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses are reflected in the realized gains or losses of investment securities on the Statements of Operations.

The underlying face amounts of open option and swaption contracts at June 30, 2012, are listed in the Schedules of Investments.

Futures contracts: The Portfolios are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and commodity risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, 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 Portfolios are required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or 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 Portfolios each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolios. Upon entering into such contracts, the Portfolios bear the risk of interest or exchange rates or security prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Portfolios may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize losses. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

The open futures contracts at June 30, 2012 are listed in the Schedules of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap agreements: Swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolios and a counterparty to exchange or swap investments, cash flows, assets, foreign currencies, or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Certain Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance, and other forms of swap agreements to manage exposure to credit, currency, and interest rate risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral 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. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement 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). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Portfolio are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Specific risks and accounting related to each type of swap agreement are identified and described in the following paragraphs:

Credit default swap agreements: The Portfolios are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or to 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 swaps 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, 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolios to cover the Portfolios’ exposure to the counterparty.

NOTE 1. (continued)

Certain Portfolios sell credit default swaps which expose 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. The aggregate fair value of the credit default swaps are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral, net of assets received as collateral, for these swaps is included in the footnotes to the Schedules of Investments. If a defined credit event had occurred during the period, the swaps’ credit-risk-related contingent features would have been triggered, and the Portfolios would have been required to pay the notional amounts for the credit default swaps with a sell protection less the value of the contracts’ related reference obligations.

Interest rate swap agreements: The Portfolios are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. To help hedge against this risk, the Portfolios enter into interest rate swap contracts. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. The Portfolios with interest rate swap 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 swaps 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 Portfolios’ 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 that amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolios and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolios to cover the Portfolios’ exposure to the counterparty.

The open swap agreements at June 30, 2012 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.

Short sales: A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio, with the exception of Money Market, sells securities it does not own, but has borrowed, in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolios are obligated to replace the borrowed securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Portfolios’ obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a short sale is fully secured by collateral deposited with the custodian. In addition, the Portfolios consider the short sale to be a borrowing by the Portfolios that is subject to the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. The Portfolios incur a profit or a loss, depending upon whether the market price of the securities decrease or increase between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Portfolios must replace the borrowed securities. 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 Portfolios may be unable to replace borrowed securities sold short.

The Portfolios investing in short sales are liable for any interest or dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position and also bear other costs, such as charges for the prime brokerage accounts, in connection with its short positions. These costs, if any, are reported in the Statements of Operations.

Loan participations/assignments: Participations/assignments in commercial loans may be secured or unsecured. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the Portfolios to supply additional cash to the borrowers on demand. Loan participations/assignments involve risks of insolvency of the lending banks or other financial intermediaries. As such, the Portfolios assume the credit risks associated with the corporate borrowers, and may assume the credit risks associated with the interposed banks or other financial intermediaries.

The Portfolios, with the exception of Money Market, may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent banks and/or borrowers prior to the sale of these investments. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in loans to corporate borrowers, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Portfolios that participate in such syndications, or 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, under the terms of the loans or other indebtedness, the Portfolios have direct recourse against the corporate borrowers, the Portfolios may have to rely on the agent banks or other financial intermediaries to apply appropriate credit remedies against corporate borrowers.

The Portfolios held no unsecured loan participations at June 30, 2012.

To be announced purchase commitments (“TBA”): TBA purchase commitments are entered into to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date, typically not to exceed 45 days. They are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Portfolios’ other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under Security Valuations.

NOTE 1. (continued)

Treasury inflation-protected securities ("TIPS"): Certain Portfolios invest in TIPS, specially structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation as measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index. The adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost.

Restricted and illiquid securities: Restricted and illiquid securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market, or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.

The restricted and illiquid securities at June 30, 2012 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.

Payment in-kind securities (“PIKs”): PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. 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 interest receivable to the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The PIKs at June 30, 2012 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.

Securities lending: Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. The lending of the Portfolios’ securities exposes the Portfolios to risks such as the following: (i) the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities; (ii) the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral; (iii) the Portfolios may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral; or (iv) the Portfolios may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge cash collateral equal to at least the market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. By lending such securities, the Portfolios seek to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest (after rebates and fees).

Such income is reflected separately on the Statements of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at June 30, 2012 are shown in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Income from loaned securities on the Statements of Operations is net of fees earned by the lending agent for its services.

Commission recapture: The sub-advisers of certain Portfolios, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, have elected to place security transactions of the Portfolios with broker/dealers with which other funds or portfolios advised by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“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 Portfolios. In no event will commissions paid by the Portfolios 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 for the period ended June 30, 2012, are included in net realized gains (losses) on the Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:

Portfolios not listed in the above table did not have any commissions recaptured during the period ended June 30, 2012.

 

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded 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 Portfolios are informed of the ex-dividend dates net of foreign taxes. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.

TBAs, when-issued or delayed delivery securities may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Interest income is not accrued until settlement date.

Core Bond and Balanced had TBAs outstanding as of June 30, 2012, which are included in Investment securities sold and Investment securities purchased on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 1. (continued)

Dividend income related to a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) is recorded at management’s estimate of the income included in distributions from the REIT investments. Distributions received in excess of the estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or realized gain (loss). The actual amounts of 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.

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on each valuation day and allocated pro rata among the investors in a Portfolio at the time of such determination.

Foreign taxes: The Portfolios may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Portfolios will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Portfolios invest.

NOTE 2. SECURITY VALUATIONS

All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Portfolios value their investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4 p.m. Eastern Time, each day the NYSE is open for business. The Portfolios 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 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, that 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, which may include TAM’s Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the sub-adviser, issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. 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, TAM’s Valuation Committee’s 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.

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.

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

Equity securities (common and preferred stocks): 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.

Foreign securities, in which their 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 intra-day trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of certain indices of securities based on a statistical analysis of their historical relationship, such valuations are generally categorized in Level 2.

Preferred stock, repurchase agreements, and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also generally categorized in Level 2.

NOTE 2. (continued)

Corporate bonds: The fair value of corporate bonds 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 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.

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 as Level 3.

Short term notes: Short-term notes are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Government securities: Government securities 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. Government securities generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. government agency securities: U.S. government agency securities 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 securities. Mortgage pass-throughs include 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.

Restricted securities (equity and debt): Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by TAM’s Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Portfolios’ Board of Trustees. 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 valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment company securities: Securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio. These securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied. They 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 net asset value of the underlying portfolios and no valuation adjustments are applied. It is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative instruments: 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, option, and swaption 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 can be 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. A substantial majority of OTC derivative products valued by the Portfolios using pricing models fall into this category and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other: Securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values have been determined to be unreliable are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by TAM’s Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Portfolios’ Board of Trustees. For instances which daily market quotes are not readily available, securities may be valued, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, with reference to other instruments or indices. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. When a Portfolio uses fair valuation methods that rely on significant unobservable inputs to determine a security’s value, the Valuation Committee will choose the method that is believed to accurately reflect fair market value. These securities categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The hierarchy classification of inputs used to value the Portfolios’ investments at June 30, 2012, is disclosed in the Valuation Summary of each Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.

For assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used, a reconciliation of the beginning to the ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in/out of the Level 3 category during the period. The Level 3 reconciliation, if any, is disclosed in the Valuation Summary of each respective Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments.

For non-exchange traded derivatives (swaps and forward foreign currency contracts), under standard derivatives agreements, the Portfolio may be required to post collateral on derivatives if the Portfolio is in a net liability position with the counterparty exceeding certain amounts. Additionally, counterparties may immediately terminate derivatives contracts if the Portfolio fails to maintain sufficient asset coverage for its contracts or its net assets decline by stated percentages.

Balanced:

The Portfolio is subject to various risks in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The volume of written option and swaption contracts increased from zero contracts at the beginning of the period to two contracts held at period end. The volume of purchased option contracts held throughout the period decreased from six contracts at the beginning of the period to two contracts at period end. The volume of futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts held at period end is indicative of the volume held throughout the period.

NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Series Portfolio has received rulings from the Internal Revenue Service that each Portfolio will be treated as a separate partnership for federal income tax purposes. Income taxes are not provided for by the Portfolios because taxable income/(loss) of each Portfolio is included in the income tax returns of the investors. It is intended that the Portfolios’ assets will be managed so an investor in the Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Portfolios recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has evaluated the Portfolios’ tax provisions taken for all open tax years (2008 -2010), or expected to be taken in the Portfolios’ 2011 tax returns, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. For tax purposes, each component of the Portfolios’ net assets are reported at the investor level; therefore, the Statements of Assets and Liabilities do not present the components of net assets.

NOTE 6. (continued)

Each investor in the Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains; which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to different treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, structured notes, foreign bonds, swaps, net operating losses, distribution reclasses for REITs, passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, and post-October loss deferrals.

NOTE 7. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the authoritative guidance that will enhance disclosures related to financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in the statement of assets and liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This information will enable users of the Portfolio’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the Portfolio’s financial position. The adoption of this disclosure requirement is effective for financial statements interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is currently evaluating the implication of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Portfolio's financial statements.

NOTE 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective on or about August 31, 2012, TAM will terminate its investment sub-advisory agreement with Perimeter Capital Partners LLC with respect to Small Growth and will enter into a new investment sub-advisory agreement with Ranger Investment Management, L.P. (“Ranger”). In connection with the change in sub-adviser, the fund’s investment objective and certain principal investment strategies will change. In addition, the Fund’s advisory fee will be reduced. The Fund’s name, its investment adviser, TAM, as well as its benchmark index and fundamental investment restrictions will remain the same. Upon the effective date of the change in sub-adviser to Ranger, TAM’s advisory fee schedule will decrease as set forth below:

 

Current Advisory Fee

  

New Advisory Fee

0.87% of the fund’s ANA

  

0.84% of the first $300 million of ANA

0.80% in excess of $300 million of ANA

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements, and determined that no other material events or transactions would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – CONTRACT RENEWAL

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Partners Portfolios (the “Board”) held on June 13-14, 2012, the Board reviewed and considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreements (each, an “Investment Advisory Agreement” and collectively the “Investment Advisory Agreements”) between each of the following funds (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”) and Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”):

Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the terms of each Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable and that the renewal of each agreement is in the best interests of the applicable Portfolio and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the renewal of each Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2013. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreements, including, to the extent applicable, information about fees and performance of comparable funds and/or accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also considered information they had previously received from TAM and each Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of each Portfolio, as well as comparative fee, expense, and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance information, and fee and expense information and profitability data prepared by TAM. In conducting their review, the Trustees noted that the relevant analysis of investment performance, fees and expenses for each Portfolio was better made at the level of the Funds that invest in the Portfolio (the Transamerica Partners Fund and Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund), since shareholders could not invest directly in the Portfolio and this is the manner in which Lipper provided its comparative information.

In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees had the opportunity to meet privately without representatives of TAM or any Sub-Adviser present and were represented throughout the process by independent legal counsel. In considering the proposed continuation of each Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by independent legal counsel and their own business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed below, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular 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 Portfolio in the past and the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board also considered the investment approach for each Portfolio; the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management; the financial resources of TAM and each Sub-Adviser; TAM’s management oversight process; and the professional qualifications 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 services provided by TAM for the portion of the management fee it retains after payment of the sub-advisory fee(s) for each Portfolio. The Board noted that these services include not only the services TAM provides to all Transamerica funds in the form of oversight of the services provided by the funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent and supervision of the performance of recordkeeping, shareholder relations, regulatory reporting and compliance functions of the funds, but also the “manager of managers” services TAM provides to sub-advised funds in the form of selection and oversight of the sub-adviser(s).

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 Portfolio’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

Investment Performance

The Board considered the short- and longer-term performance of each Portfolio in light of its investment objective, policies and strategies, including relative performance against (i) a peer universe of comparable mutual funds, as prepared by Lipper, and (ii) the Portfolio’s benchmark(s), in each case for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2011.

Transamerica Partners Balanced Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of the Transamerica Partners 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 and that the performance of the Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods and in line with the median for the past 10-year period.

On the basis of this information and the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Advisers, the Board concluded that TAM and each Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the applicable Portfolio’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.

Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Total Expense Ratios

The Board considered the management fee and total expense ratio of each Portfolio, including information provided by Lipper comparing the management fee and total expense ratio of each Transamerica Partners Fund and Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund to the management fees and total expense ratios of other investment companies in both a peer group and broader peer universe compiled by Lipper. The Board also considered the fees charged by the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services as well as the portion of a Portfolio’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee(s).

Transamerica Partners Small Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the Transamerica Partners Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe.

The Board also noted that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Transamerica Partners Fund and the Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Transamerica Partners Small Value Portfolio. The Board noted that the Transamerica Partners Fund’s contractual management fee was above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund’s contractual management fee was in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Board also noted that the actual total expenses (i.e., expenses reflecting any waivers and/or reimbursements) of the Transamerica Partners Fund were in line with the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe and the actual total expenses of the Transamerica Partners Institutional Fund were below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe. The Board also noted that TAM has entered into an expense limitation arrangement with the Transamerica Partners Fund and the Transamerica Partners Institutional 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 Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements 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/or procuring fund management services, as applicable, as well as the costs of the provision of administration and other services, to each Portfolio and to Transamerica Partners Portfolios as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates in providing these services for each Portfolio and Transamerica Partners Portfolios as a whole, as well as the allocation methodology used for calculating profitability.

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 and are paid by TAM and not the applicable Portfolio. As a result, the Board principally considered the profitability of TAM and its affiliates with respect to each Portfolio.

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

Economies of Scale

The Board considered economies of scale with respect to the management of each Portfolio, whether the Portfolio had appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there was the potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board also considered the existence of economies of scale with respect to management of the Transamerica funds overall and the extent to which the Portfolios benefited from these economies of scale. The Board considered each Portfolio’s management fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints, if any, and also considered the extent to which TAM shared economies of scale with the Portfolios through investments in capabilities and services. The Trustees concluded that each Portfolio’s fee structure reflected economies of scale to date but noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether each Portfolio has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees paid to the Sub-Advisers, in the future.

Benefits to TAM, its Affiliates, or the Sub-Advisers from their Relationships with the Portfolios

The Board considered any other benefits derived by TAM, its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Portfolios. The Board noted that TAM does not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationships with the Portfolios and that TAM believes that any use of soft dollars by the Sub-Advisers is generally appropriate and in the best interests of the Portfolios. The Board also noted that certain Sub-Advisers are participating in a brokerage program pursuant to which a portion of brokerage commissions paid by each applicable Portfolio is recaptured for the benefit of the Portfolio and its shareholders, thus limiting the amount of soft dollar arrangements the Sub-Adviser may engage in with respect to a Portfolio’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 Portfolio in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Portfolio 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 to the management and success of the Portfolios.

Conclusion

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

TRANSAMERICA PARTNERS SMALL GROWTH PORTFOLIO

APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(unaudited)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Partners Portfolios (the “Board”) held on May 24, 2012, the Board considered the termination of Perimeter Capital Partners LLC (“Perimeter”) as sub-adviser to Transamerica Partners Small Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) and approval of a new investment sub-advisory agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the Portfolio between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Ranger Investment Management, L.P. (“Ranger”), the Portfolio’s proposed new sub-adviser.

Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable and that the termination of Perimeter as sub-adviser to the Portfolio and approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year period and authorized TAM to terminate the sub-advisory agreement with Perimeter.

To assist the Trustees in their consideration of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees received in advance of their meeting certain materials and information. In addition, the Independent Trustees consulted with their independent legal counsel, discussing, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Trustees’ deliberations. Among other matters, the Board considered:

 

  (a) that TAM advised the Board that the appointment of Ranger is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio and its shareholders, including compliance services;

 

  (b) that Ranger is an experienced and respected asset management firm and that Ranger has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide sub-advisory services to the Portfolio;

 

  (c) the proposed responsibilities of Ranger for the Portfolio and the services expected to be provided by it;

 

  (d) the fact that the sub-advisory fee payable to Ranger would be paid by TAM and not the Portfolio;

 

  (e) that the management fee rate paid by the Portfolio would be reduced in connection with the sub-adviser change, and that the sub-advisory fee to be paid by TAM to Ranger is reasonable in light of the services to be provided; and

 

  (f) that TAM recommended to the Board that Ranger be appointed as sub-adviser to the Portfolio based on its desire to engage an investment sub-adviser with a strategy that TAM believes represents a quality offering within the small cap growth investment category.

A discussion followed that included additional consideration of these and other matters.

In their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by independent legal counsel and their own business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decisions on the considerations discussed here, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular 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 Ranger under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things, information and assurances provided by TAM and Ranger as to the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of Ranger, the anticipated ability of Ranger to perform its duties under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the anticipated changes to the current investment program and other practices of the Portfolio. The Board considered the proposed changes to the Portfolio’s investment objective and principal investment strategies. The Board considered that TAM has advised the Board that the appointment of Ranger is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio and its shareholders, including compliance services. The Board considered that Ranger is an experienced and respected asset management firm and that TAM believes that Ranger has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide sub-advisory services to the Portfolio.

Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from TAM, the Board determined that Ranger can provide sub-advisory services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the proposed investment program for the Portfolio and that Ranger’s appointment is not expected to adversely affect the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio.

Investment Performance

The Board reviewed the performance of the Portfolio as compared to the composite performance of the strategy to be followed by Ranger in providing services to the Portfolio. The Board noted that the performance of the Ranger strategy compared favorably to that of the Portfolio and its benchmark for the 1-, 3-and 5-year periods (annualized) ended March 31, 2012. The Board further noted that TAM believes that the appointment of Ranger could benefit shareholders by offering them the potential for improved performance based on the historical comparisons, but were unable to predict what effect execution of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement would actually have on the future performance of the Portfolio.

On the basis of this information and the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Ranger, the Board concluded that Ranger is capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Portfolio’s investment objectives, policies and strategies.

Sub-Advisory Fee, Cost of Services Provided and Profitability

The Board considered the proposed sub-advisory fee rate under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the increase in the portion of the Portfolio’s management fee retained by TAM following payment of the sub-advisory fee that would result from implementation of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that the management fee rate payable by the Portfolio would be reduced in connection with the sub-adviser change, which would benefit the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Board also noted that the Portfolio does not pay the sub-advisory fee. On the basis of these considerations, together with the other information it considered, the Board determined that the sub-advisory fee to be received by Ranger under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

With respect to Ranger’s costs and profitability in providing services to the Portfolio, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fee is the product of arm’s-length negotiation between TAM and Ranger. As a result, the Board did not consider Ranger’s anticipated profitability as material to its decision to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the sub-advisory fee schedule and the existence of breakpoints, noting that a breakpoint would be added to the management fee schedule in connection with the sub-adviser change. The Trustees concluded that they would have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Portfolio has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees payable by TAM to Ranger, in the future.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Board considered any other benefits to be derived by Ranger from its relationship with the Portfolio. The Board noted that TAM would not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationship with Ranger, and that Ranger may engage in soft dollar arrangements 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 New Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders and voted to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.
