Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of Transamerica 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 advisor 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 recognize and understand current market conditions in order to provide a context for reading this report. Equity and fixed-income markets have continued to remain volatile over the past six months while exhibiting some signs of price improvement in March and April of 2009. The Federal Reserve has sought to stabilize financial markets by providing liquidity, and the Treasury department has taken an active role in the restructuring of financial companies and markets. At the end of 2008, and during the beginning of 2009, credit markets exhibited some signs of thawing, with improvement in returns, particularly within the high yield sector. While data has been mixed, there has been some evidence of an improvement in housing demand and construction spending. Additionally, consumer confidence has risen as investors look beyond weak economic and unemployment data. Oil prices have risen from their lows in 2008 while most major foreign currencies remain relatively weak against the U.S. dollar. For the six months ending April 30, 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned -10.78%, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned -8.53%, and the Barclays Capital Aggregate U.S. Bond Index returned 7.74%. Please keep in mind it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.
In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial advisor is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial advisors are familiar with the market’s history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial advisor, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline, and your risk tolerance.
Please contact your financial advisor if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.
Sincerely,
     
John K. Carter

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, dividend expense on short-sales, 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 November 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2009.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Expenses” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60), 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 could have included a $15 annual fee. The amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Expenses” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate 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 Funds and 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. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Expenses” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 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.
Expense ratios may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses that are not covered by the advisory and administrative fees such as fees and expenses of the trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Transamerica Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Transamerica Balanced, Transamerica Convertible Securities, Transamerica Equity, Transamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Growth Opportunities, Transamerica High Yield Bond, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap, Transamerica Money Market, Transamerica Science & Technology, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value, Transamerica Templeton Global and Transamerica Value Balanced (each, a “Fund”; collectively, the “Funds”) are part of Transamerica Funds.
The Funds, except Transamerica Balanced, Transamerica Equity, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, Transamerica Templeton Global and Transamerica Value Balanced, currently have four classes of shares; Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class I. Transamerica Balanced, Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap, Transamerica Templeton Global, and Transamerica Value Balanced currently have three classes of shares; Class A, Class B, and Class C. Transamerica Equity currently has five classes of shares; Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, and Class T. Transamerica Short-Term Bond currently has three classes of shares: Class A, Class C, and Class I. Class T shares are not available to new investors. Each of the above classes has a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares are currently available for investment primarily to certain affiliated asset allocation funds.
Class I shares may also be made available to other investors, including institutional investors and eligible retirement plans whose record keepers or financial service firm intermediaries have entered into agreements with Transamerica Funds or its agents. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase.
Transamerica Legg Mason Partners All Cap and Transamerica Science & Technology are “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ current prospectus, which contains more complete information about the Funds.
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.
In preparing the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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.
Multiple class operations, income and expenses: Income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class, based upon the value of shares outstanding method as permitted under Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act. Each class bears its own specific expenses as well as a portion of general, common expenses.
Security valuations: The Funds value their investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds’ investments are valued at the last sale price or closing price on the day of valuation taken from the primary exchange where the security is principally traded.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price.
Debt securities are valued based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of value supplied by an exchange, a pricing service or a major market maker; however, those that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Foreign securities generally are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded. 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. If a significant market event impacting the value of a portfolio security (e.g., natural disaster, company announcement, market volatility) occurs subsequent to the close of trading in the security, but prior to the calculation of the Funds’ net asset value per share, market quotations for that security may be determined to be unreliable and, accordingly, not “readily available.” As a result, foreign equity securities held by the Funds may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc.’s (“TAM”) Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
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 Board of Trustees.

At April 30, 2009
(all amounts in thousands)
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. (continued)
The Funds are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (“Level 1”) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3”) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:
     
Level 1 -
  Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 -
  Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
 
Level 3 -
  Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The aggregate value by input level, at April 30, 2009 for the Funds’ investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Funds’ Schedules of Investments.
Cash overdraft: Throughout the year, the Funds may have cash overdraft balances. A fee is incurred on these overdrafts, calculated by multiplying the overdrafts by a rate based on the federal funds rate.
Repurchase agreements: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. The Funds, through their custodian, receive delivery of the underlying securities, the value of which at the time of purchase is required to be an amount equal to at least 100% of the resale price. The Funds will bear the risk of value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.
Commission recapture: The sub-advisers of certain Funds, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, have elected to place security transactions of the Funds with broker/dealers with which Transamerica Funds has 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 within Transamerica Funds, or by any other party.
Recaptured comissions during the period ended April 30, 2009, are included in net realized gains on the Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:

(a)   Rounds to less than $1.
Securities lending: The Funds may lend securities to qualified financial institutions and brokers. The lending of Fund securities exposes the Funds to risks such as the following: (i) the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities; (ii) the borrower may not be able to provide additional collateral; (iii) the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral; or (iv) the Funds may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain of these 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 Funds attempt 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 the liability to return the cash collateral received are reflected on the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There were no securities on loan at April 30, 2009.
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 Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on the settlement date.
Dividend income, related to Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT”), is recorded at managements’ 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 the cost of investments. 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.

NOTE 1. (continued)
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 at the closing exchange rate each day. Income, expenses, purchases and sales of investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at prevailing exchange rates when accrued or incurred. The Funds combine 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.
Foreign taxes: The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds 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 Funds invest.
Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds are subject to foreign currency 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. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the contractual forward rate and 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 April 30, 2009 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.
Futures contracts: The Funds 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 Funds may 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 Funds 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 made or received by the Funds each day, 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 interest or exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. 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.
The underlying face amounts of open futures contracts are listed in the Schedules of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
At April 30, 2009, the Funds did not hold any futures contracts.
Option contracts: The Funds 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 Funds may 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. Certain Funds may write call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. When a Fund writes a covered call or put option/swaption, an amount equal to the premium received by a Fund is included in the Fund’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.
At April 30, 2009, the Funds did not hold any open options or swaptions contracts.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any sales of Fund shares in a fund account during the first five (5) NYSE trading days following their purchase date. This redemption fee will equal 2% of the amount redeemed and shares held the longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held the shortest as being redeemed last. For the period ended April 30, 2009, the Funds received redemption fees which are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Effective March 1, 2009, the Funds no longer charge redemption fees.
Dividend distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Temporary guarantee program: Transamerica Money Market has enrolled in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s “Treasury” Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) through September 18, 2009. Under the Program, the Treasury guarantees the $1.00 dollar per share value of fund shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008, subject to certain terms and limitations “Covered Shares”.
The guarantee will be triggered if the market-based net asset value of any class percentage of Transamerica Money Market is less than $0.995, unless promptly cured (a “Guarantee Event”). If a Guarantee Event were to occur, Transamerica Money Market would be required to liquidate. Upon liquidation and subject to the availability of funds under the Program, eligible shareholders would be entitled to receive payments equal to $1.00 per Covered Share. The number of Covered Shares held by a shareholder would be equal to the lesser of (1) the number of shares owned by that shareholder on September 19, 2008 or (2) the number of shares owned by that shareholder on the date upon which the Guarantee Event occurs.
The initial period of the Program covered a three month period from September 19, 2008 to December 18, 2008. The program was extended from December 19, 2008 through April 30, 2009, and again from May 1, 2009 through September 18, 2009 (the “Program Extension Periods”). Participation in the Program extension periods required payment of additional fees. Transamerica Money Market paid to the Treasury a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the initial three month period of the Program and a fee of 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008 to participate in each of the Program Extension Periods. These expenses are borne by Transamerica Money Market without regard to any expense limitation agreement in effect.

In addition to the advisory fee waiver for Transamerica Money Market, TAM or any of its affiliates may waive fees or reimburse expenses of one or more classes of Transamerica Money Market in order to avoid a negative yield. At any point in which the Transamerica Money Market, or any classes thereof, achieves a positive yield, the expenses previously waived or reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph may be reimbursed to TAM, to the extent that such reimbursement does not cause classes of Transamerica Money Market to experience a negative yield. Waived expenses related to the maintenance of the yield are included in the Statement of Operations, within the class expense reimbursed (recaptured). Amounts waived for Class A, B, and C, as of April 30, 2009 were $53, $103, and $155, respectively.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible Independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) maintained by Transamerica Funds. Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in Class A shares of any series of Transamerica Funds, including the Funds, or investment options under Transamerica Partners Institutional Funds Group or Transamerica Institutional Asset Allocation Funds, or funds of Transamerica Investors, Inc. The right of a participant to receive a distribution from the Plan of the deferred fees is a claim against the general assets of all series of Transamerica Funds.

Retirement plan: Under a prior retirement plan (the “Emeritus Plan”) available to the Independent Trustees, each Independent Trustee was deemed to have been elected to serve as Trustee Emeritus of Transamerica Funds upon his or her termination of service, other than removal for cause, for a maximum period of five years determined by his or her years of service as a Trustee.
Such amounts were to be accrued by Transamerica Funds on a pro rata basis allocable to each Transamerica Fund based on the relative assets of the Fund. If retainers increased in the future, past accruals (and credits) would be adjusted upward so that 50% of the Trustee’s current retainer was accrued and credited at all times. Upon death, disability or termination of service, other than removal for cause, amounts deferred became payable to a Trustee Emeritus (or his/her beneficiary). Upon the commencement of service as Trustee Emeritus, compensation would be paid on a quarterly basis during the time period that the Trustee Emeritus was allowed to serve as such.
At April 30, 2009, the Funds’ liabilities related to the Emeritus Plan were as follows:

Amounts deferred and accrued under the Emeritus Plan are claims against the general assets of Transamerica Funds.
The Emeritus Plan was terminated effective October 30, 2007. Upon the termination, the Funds continue to pay any remaining benefits in accordance with the Plan, but no further compensation is accrued under the Plan.

NOTE 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Funds have not made any provisions for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for items including, but not limited to, wash sales, structured notes, foreign bonds, swaps, net operating losses and distribution reclasses.

TRANSAMERICA BALANCED
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL
(unaudited)
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds held on May 15th, 2008, the Board reviewed and considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between Transamerica Balanced (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), as well as the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) of the Fund between TAM and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (“TIM” or, the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed.
Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement would enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, fair, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2009. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TAM and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreements, including information about fees and performance of comparable funds managed by the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also carefully considered information they had previously received from TAM and the Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as comparative fee, expense, and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance, and fee and expense information and profitability data prepared by management. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, 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 following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular information that was controlling of their decisions:
The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TAM and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past by TAM and the Sub-Adviser for this Fund and the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management, the financial resources of TAM and the Sub-Adviser, TAM’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications of the portfolio management team of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees 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 operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.
The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the short and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a peer universe of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2007. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was strong compared to its peer universe for the past 1-year period, above the median for the past 3-year period, and in line with the median for the past 5-year period. On the basis of the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information of TAM’s cost of procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the management and sub-advisory fees for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees and total expenses were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. and they also noted management’s statements about the challenges reflected in the peer group. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the management and sub-advisory fees of the Fund generally are appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided or procured, and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TAM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser. In making these observations and determinations, the Board reviewed comparative information provided by Lipper.
Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In evaluating the extent to which the management fees payable under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board noted that TAM and the Sub-Adviser offer breakpoints which appropriately benefit investors by passing on economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees paid to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.
Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TAM, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Fund are expected to be consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that TAM would not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser is participating in a brokerage program pursuant to which a portion of brokerage commissions paid by the 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 the Fund’s brokerage transactions.
Other considerations. The Board determined 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 the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees favorably considered the procedures and policies in place by TAM to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TAM’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was strong compared to its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Trustees considered that the Fund’s risk/reward profile is well above median, indicating attractive returns commensurate with the risk taken. On the basis of the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In evaluating the extent to which the management fees payable under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board noted that despite a flat sub-advisory fee schedule TAM offers breakpoints which appropriately benefit investors by passing on economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees paid to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.
Benefits to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund.

Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement would enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, fair, and in the best interests of its shareholders.

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TAM and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future.

The Trustees 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 operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.
The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the short and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a peer universe of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2007. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was below the median for its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Trustees recognized that the longer-term underperformance can be attributed to the Fund’s prior sub-adviser, noting that TIM took over the management of the Fund on March 1, 2004. The Trustees considered that the Fund’s recent underperformance was driven in part by overweighting in corporate and high-yield bond investments, but they noted that they would be monitoring performance closely and expected to see improvement. On the basis of the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information of TAM’s cost of procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the management and sub-advisory fees for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the total expenses of the Fund above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Trustees further noted that TAM voluntarily lowered its fees in 2007 and again for 2008. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the management and sub-advisory fees of the Fund generally are appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided or procured, and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TAM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser. In making these observations and determinations, the Board reviewed comparative information provided by Lipper.
Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows.

They based their decisions on the following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular information that was controlling of their decisions:
The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TAM and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past by TAM and the Sub-Adviser for this Fund and the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management, the financial resources of TAM and the Sub-Adviser, TAM’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications of the portfolio management team of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees 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 operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.
The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the short and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a peer universe of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2007. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was above the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 3-year periods and slightly above the median for the past 5-year period. The Trustees recognized that the longer-term underperformance can be partially attributed to the Fund’s prior sub-adviser, noting that TIM took over the management of the Fund in 2005. On the basis of the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information of TAM’s cost of procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the management and sub-advisory fees for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were below the median for its peer group and in line with the median for its peer universe and that the total expenses of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the management and sub-advisory fees of the Fund generally are appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided or procured, and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TAM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser. In making these observations and determinations, the Board reviewed comparative information provided by Lipper.
Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows.

The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees paid to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.
Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TAM, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Fund are expected to be consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that TAM would not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser is participating in a brokerage program pursuant to which a portion of brokerage commissions paid by the 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 the Fund’s brokerage transactions.
Other considerations. The Board determined 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 the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees favorably considered the procedures and policies in place by TAM to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TAM’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Fund, which currently is resulting in TAM waiving fees for certain share classes for the benefit of shareholders.

TRANSAMERICA HIGH YIELD BOND
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL
(unaudited)
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds held on May 15th, 2008, the Board reviewed and considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between Transamerica High Yield Bond (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), as well as the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) of the Fund between TAM and AEGON USA Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed.
Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement would enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, fair, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2009. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TAM and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreements, including information about fees and performance of comparable funds managed by the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also carefully considered information they had previously received from TAM and the Sub-Adviser as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as comparative fee, expense, and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance, and fee and expense information and profitability data prepared by management. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, 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 following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular information that was controlling of their decisions:
The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TAM and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past by TAM and the Sub-Adviser for this Fund and the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management, the financial resources of TAM and the Sub-Adviser, TAM’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications of the portfolio management team of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees 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 operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.
The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the short and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a peer universe of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2007. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance 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 noted that prior to March 2005, the Fund’s mandate was limited to 75% in high-yield bonds and relative to its peer funds, this higher quality structural limitation hurt the Fund as high-yield bonds outperformed investment-grade bonds over the past several years. The Board noted that they would be monitoring performance closely. On the basis of the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information of TAM’s cost of procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the management and sub-advisory fees for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were in line with the median for its peer group and slightly below the median for its peer universe and that the total expenses of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the management and sub-advisory fees of the Fund generally are appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided or procured, and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TAM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser. In making these observations and determinations, the Board reviewed comparative information provided by Lipper.
Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In evaluating the extent to which the management fees payable under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board noted that TAM and the Sub-Adviser offer breakpoints which appropriately benefit investors by passing on economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees paid to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.
Benefits to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TAM, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Fund are expected to be consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
Other considerations. The Board determined 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 the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees favorably considered the procedures and policies in place by TAM to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TAM’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the short and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a peer universe of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2007. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was below the median for its peer universe for the past 1- and 3-year periods and slightly below the median for the past 5-year period, and that they would be monitoring performance closely and expected improvement. On the basis of the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information of TAM’s cost of procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the management and sub-advisory fees for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees is in line with the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe and that the total expenses of the Fund were above the medians for its peer group and peer universe. The Board noted further that sub-advisory fees were renegotiated for 2008. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the management and sub-advisory fees of the Fund generally are appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided or procured, and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TAM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser. In making these observations and determinations, the Board reviewed comparative information provided by Lipper.
Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows.

The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees paid to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.
Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TAM, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Fund are expected to be consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that TAM would not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser is participating in a brokerage program pursuant to which a portion of brokerage commissions paid by the 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 the Fund’s brokerage transactions.
Other considerations. The Board determined 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 the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees favorably considered the procedures and policies in place by TAM to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TAM’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In evaluating the extent to which the management fees payable under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board considered the specific reasons for the absence of breakpoints, and concluded that the absence of breakpoints was acceptable under the circumstances. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees paid to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.
Benefits to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund.

The Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past by TAM and the Sub-Adviser for this Fund and the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management, the financial resources of TAM and the Sub-Adviser, TAM’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications of the portfolio management team of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees 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 operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.
The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the short and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a peer universe of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2007. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was strong compared to its peer universe for the past 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund’s 5-year performance could not be attributed completely to the Sub-Adviser’s current management team, which assumed management of the Fund in March 2004. On the basis of the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information of TAM’s cost of procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the management and sub-advisory fees for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were below the medians for its peer group and peer universe and that the total expenses of the Fund were in line with the medians for its peer group and peer universe. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the management and sub-advisory fees of the Fund generally are appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided or procured, and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TAM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser. In making these observations and determinations, the Board reviewed comparative information provided by Lipper.
Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In evaluating the extent to which the management fees payable under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board noted that TAM and the Sub-Adviser offer breakpoints which appropriately benefit investors by passing on economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees paid to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.
Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TAM, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationships with the Fund are expected to be consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that TAM would not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser is participating in a brokerage program pursuant to which a portion of brokerage commissions paid by the 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 the Fund’s brokerage transactions.
Other considerations. The Board determined 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 the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees favorably considered the procedures and policies in place by TAM to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TAM’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Fund, which may result in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.

TRANSAMERICA TEMPLETON GLOBAL
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS — CONTRACT RENEWAL
(unaudited)
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica Funds held on May 15th, 2008, the Board reviewed and considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between Transamerica Templeton Global (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), as well as the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) of the Fund between TAM and Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (“TIM”) (collectively the “Sub-Advisers”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed.
Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement would enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, fair, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2009. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TAM and the Sub-Advisers such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the agreements, including information about fees and performance of comparable funds managed by the Sub-Advisers. The Trustees also carefully considered information they had previously received from TAM and the Sub-Advisers as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as comparative fee, expense, and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund performance, and fee and expense information and profitability data prepared by management. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, 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 following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any consideration or particular information that was controlling of their decisions:
The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TAM and the Sub-Advisers to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Advisers are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past by TAM and the Sub-Advisers for this series and the experience, capability and integrity of TAM’s senior management, the financial resources of TAM and the Sub-Advisers, TAM’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications of the portfolio management team of the Sub-Advisers. The Trustees determined that TAM and the Sub-Advisers can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.
The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the short and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a peer universe of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended December 31, 2007. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in line with the median for its peer universe for the past 1-year period and below the median for its peer universe for the past 3- and 5-year periods. The Trustees recognized that the longer-term underperformance can partly be attributed to the Fund’s prior sub-advisers of the domestic portion of the Fund, noting that TIM took over the management of the domestic portion of the Fund in August 2006. The Board noted they would be monitoring performance closely. On the basis of the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TAM and the Sub-Advisers, the Board concluded that TAM and the Sub-Advisers are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with other investment companies.
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information of TAM’s cost of procuring fund management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to Transamerica Funds as a whole by TAM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the management and sub-advisory fees for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were below the median for its peer group and slightly above median for the peer universe and that the total expenses of the Fund were slightly above the median for its peer group and above the median for its peer universe. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the management and sub-advisory fees of the Fund generally are appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided or procured, and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TAM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisers. In making these observations and determinations, the Board reviewed comparative information provided by Lipper.
Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In evaluating the extent to which the management fees payable under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board noted that TAM and the Sub-Advisers offer breakpoints which appropriately benefit investors by passing on economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund 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 (such as soft dollars) to TAM, its affiliates, or the Sub-Advisers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TAM, its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Fund are expected to be consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that TAM would not realize soft dollar benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser is participating in a brokerage program pursuant to which a portion of brokerage commissions paid by the 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 the Fund’s brokerage transactions.
Other considerations. The Board determined 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 the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees favorably considered the procedures and policies in place by TAM to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers. The Trustees also determined that TAM has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TAM’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Fund, which currently is resulting in TAM waiving fees for the benefit of shareholders.
