Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of Transamerica Premier 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 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. Both equity and fixed-income markets have experienced extreme volatility and accelerating downward pricing pressure over the past twelve months as a credit crisis has had profound effects on the financial markets and has spilled over into the global economy. Oil prices rose dramatically throughout the first seven months of 2008 and have fallen precipitously since then as the global economy has struggled and demand has declined. The Federal Reserve has lowered the federal funds rate during the past twelve months from 4.25% at the beginning of January 2008 to a range of 0% — 0.25% in December 2008 as it has sought to provide liquidity in a difficult market environment. The Treasury department has also been taking an active role in an effort to stabilize the markets, including the initiation of the Temporary Money Market Guarantee program and the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). The job market continues to struggle, as non-farm payrolls have weakened and the unemployment rate rose to 7.2% by year’s end. In this environment, investors have flocked to money market instruments and Treasuries in a flight to quality. Many funds have struggled to produce positive returns. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned (31.93%), the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned (37.00%), and the Barclays Capital Aggregate U.S. Bond Index (formerly known as the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index) returned 5.24%. 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		Christopher A. Staples

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The year ended December 31, 2008 was exceptionally challenging for investors. As problems in the credit markets spread to other segments of the economy, unemployment rose to 7.2%, home prices fell for the third consecutive year, consumer confidence declined, and U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) shrank. The financial markets responded to these events with substantial losses.

The credit problems in the financial sector prompted the U.S. government to intervene early in the year with a $160 billion economic stimulus package intended to stave off an economic collapse. However, in the second quarter it became evident that the credit crisis had not only spread beyond the financial sector but also beyond U.S. borders. Subsequent attempts to stabilize the U.S. monetary system and economy with capital injections came from the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the federal government. Further, throughout the course of the year, the Fed lowered short-term interest rates from 4.25% to an unprecedented target range of 0-0.25%. China and Europe also cut interest rates in an effort to stimulate growth.

As the year came to a close, falling energy prices and the historic election of the 44th U.S. President gave the markets a much-needed confidence boost. Investor confidence plummeted once again, however, when the Big Three automakers announced they were unable to continue funding operations without government assistance, sending ripples throughout the markets, especially among industrial suppliers to the automakers.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Diversified Equity Fund, Investor Class returned (40.93)%. By comparison its benchmark, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index, returned (37.00)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The portfolio’s underperformance was largely a result of weak returns posted by individual holdings in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Also pressuring relative performance were the portfolio’s underweight positions in better-performing sectors like health care and consumer staples.

Another significant detractor from relative performance was CME Group, Inc., an electronic derivatives exchange. Although CME is the leader in this segment, a slowdown in the company’s monthly trading volumes compared to rapid volume growth in 2007 caused the stock to sell off. We believe CME will continue to gain market share with development of several new exchange traded products and maintained our position.

On the upside, the portfolio’s relative results benefited from stock selection in the financials (e.g., Plum Creek Timber, Co., Inc.) and materials (e.g., Sigma-Aldrich Corp.) sectors. Plum Creek, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), owns and manages timberlands in the U.S and benefited from its status as the largest private landholder in the U.S. The company plans to sell much of its higher-quality, higher-priced acreage for conservation, residential and recreational uses.

Although Sigma is technically a chemicals company, it serves the healthcare industry by providing chemical products and kits used in scientific, genomic, pharmaceutical and biotech research. We believe a stable business model, expanding margins and strong cash flow bode well for this company.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Equity Fund, Investor Class returned (44.74)%. By comparison its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index, returned (38.44)% and (37.00)%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The portfolio’s underperformance was largely a result of weak returns posted by individual holdings in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Also pressuring relative performance were the portfolio’s underweight position in the consumer staples sector and an overweight position in the financials sector.

Within technology, strong demand for Apple, Inc.’s Macs, Nanos and iPhones was undermined by continued rumors of management change. In addition, some investors believe growth in demand for the iPod has reached a plateau. We maintained our position, convinced that Apple will stay on the cutting edge of personal technology devices and continue to gain market share. We were not as optimistic about Research In Motion, Ltd., one of the largest detractors from relative performance. This maker of the BlackBerry wireless platform has fallen behind in its technology for phones, prompting us to liquidate our position.

On the upside, the portfolio’s relative results benefited from an underweight position versus the index in the poorly performing energy sector and strong individual stock selection within the healthcare and materials sectors (e.g., Gilead Sciences, Inc. and Praxair, Inc.). A biotech company that develops therapeutic treatments for infectious, life-threatening diseases such as HIV, Gilead proved resilient to the economic downturn. Generally speaking, Gilead’s products are not price sensitive, patent dependent or threatened by competition. We believe we will see continued strength in the stock. Praxair is a worldwide producer and distributor of industrial gases. The inherent defensiveness of the industrial gases sector, as well as a backlog of new projects that has virtually locked in sales and earnings growth through 2010, provided stability for Praxair during the period.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Focus Fund, Investor Class returned (41.19)%. By comparison its benchmark, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index, returned (37.00)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The portfolio’s underperformance was largely a result of losses for individual holdings in the information technology and health care sectors (e.g., Apple, Inc. and Nvidia, Inc.). An underweight position in consumer staples also held back relative results.

Although sales for Apple, Inc.’s marquee products during the period remained strong, the effects were negated by speculation of a change in management. We believe Apple will continue to capture market share by launching new cutting-edge personal technology devices, and maintained our position in the stock.

Video graphics chipmaker NVIDIA Corp. also traded lower, pressured by declining profits, growing competition and a decline in video game sales. We eliminated the position in the portfolio.

One of the largest individual detractors was Nighthawk Radiology Holdings, a provider of off-hours emergent radiologic interpretations to doctors’ offices and hospitals. The stock declined when the company lost several key contracts to competitors and experienced a change in management. We believe Nighthawk is positioned to benefit from growing demand for telemedicine (the transfer of medical information via telephone, the Internet or other networks for consulting purposes) and maintained our position.

Meanwhile, strong returns delivered by select holdings in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors (e.g., Strayer Education, Inc., and CH Robinson Worldwide, Inc.) bolstered the portfolio’s relative performance. Also aiding relative results was a relatively high cash position (i.e., 12% average for the year). Strayer is a provider of undergraduate and graduate degree programs in traditional classroom settings, and over the Internet. Despite initial worries about limited access to student loans, investors gained confidence in Strayer upon learning that the majority of its funding comes from government-backed loans. The stock also benefited from strong enrollment growth and a tuition increase. CH Robinson, a freight logistics company, advanced as demand for its transportation services prevailed over shrinking margins resulting from higher fuel costs. In addition, the company continued to take market share from competitors.

(unaudited)

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Growth Opportunities Fund, Investor Class returned (40.85)%. By comparison its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 2500^® Growth Index and the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index, returned (41.50)% and (44.32)%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

A modest cash position bolstered the portfolio’s relative results, as did an underweight position in the energy sector. Select holdings in the industrials and financials sectors (e.g., CH Robinson Worldwide, Inc. and Signature Bank) also contributed to outperformance.

CH Robinson advanced during the period as demand for its transportation services overcame shrinking margins resulting from higher fuel costs. In addition, the company continued to take market share from competitors. Signature Bank, a full-service commercial bank, took market share and accelerated growth by hiring employees away from two competitors as they merged.

Making the largest individual positive contribution to relative performance was Strayer Education, Inc., a provider of undergraduate and graduate degree programs in traditional classroom settings, as well as over the Internet. Despite initial worries about limited access to student loans, investors gained confidence in Strayer upon learning that the majority of its funding comes from government-backed loans. The stock also benefited from strong enrollment growth and a tuition increase.

An underweight position in the consumer staples sector and weak stock selection within the health care and information technology sectors (e.g., Intuitive Surgical, Inc. and Sirf Technology Holdings, Inc.) detracted from performance. Intuitive develops surgical tools and devices that enable a surgeon’s movements to be more precise. Despite strong financial results and the continued adoption of robotic surgery, investors sold the stock indiscriminately when other high-quality, high-multiple stocks declined. We maintained our position in the stock based on our thesis that the company’s devices enable doctors to be more productive and we believe that demand for its products will therefore remain strong throughout the economic crisis. We liquidated our position in Sirf, a maker of global positioning systems (“GPS”) and chips, midway through the year. Demand for its more-precise technology failed to meet our expectations.

(unaudited)

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The credit problems in the financial sector and a near-freeze in the funding market prompted the U.S. government to intervene early in the year with a $160 billion economic stimulus package intended to stave off an economic collapse. However, in the second quarter it became evident that the credit crisis had not only spread beyond the financial sector but also beyond U.S. borders. Subsequent attempts to stabilize the U.S. monetary system and economy with capital injections came from the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the federal government. Further, throughout the course of the year, the Fed lowered short-term interest rates from 4.25% to an unprecedented target range of 0-0.25%. China and Europe also cut interest rates in an effort to stimulate growth.

The poor credit market and economic environment spawned a flight from higher-risk assets such as stocks and corporate bonds to the relative safety of U.S. government-backed securities. Increasing demand for Treasuries drove prices higher and, because they move in opposition, yields lower. As the risk aversion escalated, the difference between Treasury and non-government yields, in some cases, reached record levels.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Balanced Fund, Investor Class returned (33.27)%. By comparison its primary and secondary benchmarks, Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”) and Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index (“BCGC”), returned (37.00)% and 5.70%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

On the equity side, the portfolio’s underperformance was largely a result of weak returns posted by individual holdings in the information technology (e.g., Apple, Inc.) and consumer discretionary (e.g., Daimler AG) sectors as well as an underweight position in consumer staples, the sector that experienced the smallest decline.

Within technology, strong demand for Apple’s Macs, Nanos and iPhones was undermined by continued rumors of management change. In addition, some investors believe growth in demand for the iPod has reached a plateau. We maintained our position, convinced that Apple will stay on the cutting edge of personal technology devices and continue to gain market share. We also maintained our position in Tyco Electronics, Ltd., a maker of connectors for the auto, aerospace and telephony industries. We believe the company is growing at a healthy rate for a quasi-industrial company. Daimler suffered during the year due primarily to the downward trend in auto sales worldwide and the lack of financing available to consumers.

Helping to offset some of the underperformance was WW Grainger, Inc., a distributor of industrial maintenance and repair supplies. It benefited from a number of new improvement projects and expansion into new markets.

On the fixed-income side, a shorter-than-index duration as well as an overweighting of non-government sectors (i.e., investment-grade corporate securities and agency mortgage securities), which lagged the Treasury sector, was the primary source of underperformance. Among investment-grade corporate bonds, we had no exposure to the most distressed companies in the troubled financial services sector. On the mortgage side, our emphasis was on short-duration agency collateralized mortgage obligations, which were less volatile than other mortgage securities. As the credit crisis expanded to other parts of the market and world, we pared back our exposure to corporates.

Transamerica Premier High Yield Bond Fund
(unaudited)

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The sub-prime mortgage meltdown of 2007 continued to create problems in 2008, triggering unprecedented volatility in the financial markets and escalating to a full-blown credit crisis. As the situation deteriorated, several major financial institutions were either forced into bankruptcy or into the arms of more stable competitors.

In the second half of the year, it became apparent that the credit crisis had spread to banking systems in Europe and Asia, and fears of a global recession escalated. Governments around the world responded by implementing a number of fiscal and monetary programs. For example, both the U.K. and China announced multi-billion dollar stimulus packages in an attempt to revive their economies. In the U.S., these stimulative measures included a $700 billion financial rescue package, an unprecedented reduction in short-term interest rates, and commercial paper and bank debt guarantee programs, among others. During the final months of the year, however, unemployment continued to rise, credit availability for both consumers and businesses declined, consumer spending decelerated, and manufacturing slowed, suggesting more time and more stimulus may be necessary.

The poor market environment spawned a flight from higher-risk assets such as stocks and corporate bonds to the relative safety of U.S. government-backed securities. Within the fixed-income markets, high-yield bonds bore the brunt of this negative sentiment, as bank failures and illiquid credit markets led to greater refinancing risk. These developments caused the difference between Treasury and non-government yields (i.e., yield spreads) to reach record levels. In the final weeks of the year, sentiment around high-yield bonds improved when the federal government approved bank holding status for GMAC, the financing arm of General Motors, allowing the company to receive funding through the government’s $700 billion bank rescue package. Because the auto sector represents a large segment of the high-yield market, the GMAC news was modestly reassuring, but ultimately not significant enough to turn the tide.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier High Yield Bond Fund, Investor Class returned (25.19)%. By comparison it’s primary and secondary benchmarks, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay, BB-B Rated Index (“ML High Yield BB-B”) and the Merrill Lynch U.S. High-Yield, Cash Pay Index (“MLHYCP”), returned (23.63)% and (26.21)%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Because of the growing aversion to risk, high-yield bonds particularly vulnerable to default suffered the sharpest declines in value during the period. We consequently reduced the portfolio’s allocation to lower-rated (i.e., CCC-rated) bonds and increased our exposure to BB-rated securities that we felt possessed greater cash flow and liquidity. While our investment approach is to focus on individual companies rather than ratings, the characteristics we look for in an issuer generally tend to steer us into B-rated bonds.

In terms of individual holdings, the two largest contributors to the portfolio’s relative performance were Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and PNA Group, Inc. Specifically, we purchased Merrill Lynch bonds that can be put (i.e., may be redeemed before maturity and receive full face value) 30 days after the closing of the Bank of America Corp. merger. Our holdings in steel distributor PNA Group benefited when the company was purchased by Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. and the bonds were tendered.

The two most significant detractors from relative results were Seitel, Inc. and Algoma Steel. Seitel is a provider of seismic data and related geophysical expertise to the petroleum industry. As natural gas prices fell during the year, the company’s prospects for additional seismic data sales began to wane. Going forward, we believe an increased focus in the U.S. on oil shale fields and high decline rates of natural gas production will cause gas prices to stabilize and eventually recover, benefiting Seitel. Algoma Steel is a fully integrated steel producer. As the economic outlook dimmed in the second half of the year, steel prices tumbled. With an increased focus on infrastructure in North America, we are confident that the outlook for steel will improve.

To a lesser degree, the portfolio’s relative performance was hindered by our lack of exposure to the automakers, which as mentioned above, saw their bonds increase in value toward the end of the period. These issuers account for roughly 5% of our benchmark index.

Transamerica Premier Institutional Bond Fund
(unaudited)

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The poor market environment spawned a flight from higher-risk assets such as stocks and corporate bonds to the relative safety of U.S. government-backed securities. Increasing demand for Treasuries drove prices higher and, because they move in opposition, yields lower. For most corporate bonds, the opposite occurred; as demand decreased due to credit concerns, prices dropped. In some cases, the difference between Treasury and non-government yields (i.e., yield spreads) reached record levels.

Within the mortgage sector, yield spreads on mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies (e.g., Fannie Mae) widened slightly; however, the implicit government guarantee of these bonds, along with the government’s effort to manipulate mortgage rates, generally enabled the bonds to outperform most other non-Treasury asset classes. For corporate bonds, the lowest-quality bonds saw the greatest increase in yield spreads.

As the year came to an end, the unprecedented amount of fiscal and monetary stimulus began to work. Financials markets, specifically the credit markets, starting showing signs of stabilization and even a slight recovery. Although the economy remains in a recession, these early signs are encouraging.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Institutional Bond Fund, Institutional Class returned 0.56%. By comparison its benchmark, Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate U.S. Bond Index, returned 5.24%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The portfolio’s underperformance is a result of a shorter-than-index duration as well as modest overweightings in the corporate and high-yield bond sectors. However, as the credit crisis worsened, we pared back our exposure to both sectors early in the year. Meanwhile, we increased the portfolio’s weighting to government agency mortgage-backed securities after the government takeover of mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Agency mortgages performed well thereafter and hence added to the portfolio’s performance.

In terms of industry exposure, the portfolio was underweight homebuilders, autos, paper and forest products, healthcare, consumer cyclicals, brokers, and monoline financial companies. We had a small overweighting to large money-center banks due to our expectation that they would gain market share over their failing competitors and due to the large amount of government support provided by the government. We avoided exposure to the large thrifts and brokerages that imploded during the period. A negative outlook for consumer spending convinced us to reduce the portfolio’s allocation to consumer cyclicals. Industrials, capital goods, and consumer staples were some of the sectors in which the portfolio was overweight, as we believe products and goods in these sectors will benefit from the pending infrastructure build-out in the U.S. and continued demand for basic consumer staples.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Institutional Equity Fund, Institutional Class returned (43.92)%. By comparison its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index, returned (38.44)% and (37.00)%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The portfolio’s underperformance was largely a result of weak returns posted by individual holdings in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Also pressuring relative performance were the portfolio’s underweight position in the consumer staples sector and an overweight position in the financials sector.

Within technology, strong demand for Apple, Inc.’s Macs, Nanos and iPhones was undermined by continued rumors of management change. In addition, some investors believe growth in demand for the iPod has reached a plateau. We maintained our position, convinced that Apple will stay on the cutting edge of personal technology devices and we believe will continue to gain market share. We were not as optimistic about Research in Motion, Ltd., one of the largest detractors from relative performance. This maker of the BlackBerry wireless platform has fallen behind in its technology for phones, prompting us to liquidate our position.

Transamerica Premier Institutional Small Cap Value Fund
(unaudited)

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The year ended December 31, 2008, was exceptionally challenging for investors. As problems in the credit markets spread to other segments of the economy, unemployment rose to 7.2%, home prices fell for the third consecutive year, consumer confidence declined, and U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) shrank. The financial markets responded to these events with substantial losses. Small cap stocks fell notably less than their large-cap counterparts during the year, with the Russell 2000^® Index down 33.79% and the S&P SmallCap 600 Index down 31.99%. By contrast, the Russell 1000^® Index and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500”), two large-stock measures, declined 37.60% and 37.00%, respectively.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Institutional Small Cap Value Fund, Institutional Class returned (37.01)%. By comparison its primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 2000^® Value Index and the Russell 2500^® Value Index, returned (28.92)% and (31.99)%, respectively.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The portfolio’s underperformance was largely a result of losses suffered by individual holdings in the energy (e.g., Global Industries, Ltd.) and industrials (e.g., Aegean Marine Petroleum Network, Inc.) sectors.

Global Industries is an oil services provider catering to the offshore oil and gas industry. Performance was hurt by excessive costs incurred from downtime due to bad weather, issues surrounding port clearance, and delays in obtaining support vessels and equipment from its customers. We opted to liquidate our position in favor of other, more attractive investment ideas. We also sold Aegean, the portfolio’s single largest relative detractor. Aegean is a logistics company that provides fueling services to ocean-going and coastal vessels. Collapsing demand for the transportation of iron, steel and other commodities transported by ship weighed heavily on the stock.

Helping to limit the portfolio’s underperformance were the strong returns delivered by select holdings in the materials (i.e., Zep, Inc.) and financials (e.g., Ezcorp, Inc.) sectors. Zep is a manufacturer of cleaning and maintenance solutions for commercial, industrial, institutional and consumer end-markets. The company’s clients — hotels, hospitals and other large institutions — view Zep products as a more efficient and cost-effective way to clean their facilities. In the current economic environment, corporations need to keep costs down, convincing us demand for Zep’s products will remain solid.

Through its network of pawnshops, Ezcorp provides credit to individuals unable to get it through traditional banks. As economic conditions deteriorated and more jobs were lost, many consumers were forced to seek alternative personal financing solutions. This trend pushed Ezcorp higher during the period.

Transamerica Premier Institutional Diversified Equity Fund
(unaudited)

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The credit problems in the financial sector prompted the U.S. government to intervene early in the year with a $160 billion economic stimulus package intended to stave off an economic collapse. However, in the second quarter it became evident that the credit crisis had not only spread beyond the financial sector but also beyond U.S. borders. Subsequent attempts to stabilize the U.S. monetary system and economy with capital injections came from the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the federal government. Further, throughout the course of the year, the Fed lowered short-term interest rates from 4.25% to an unprecedented range of 0-0.25%. China and Europe also cut interest rates in an effort to stimulate growth.

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Transamerica Premier Institutional Diversified Equity Fund, Institutional Class returned (40.98)%. By comparison its benchmark, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index, returned (37.00)%.

STRATEGY REVIEW

The portfolio’s underperformance was largely a result of weak returns posted by individual holdings in the information technology (e.g., Apple, Inc. and Tyco Electronics, Ltd.) and consumer discretionary (e.g. BorgWarner, Inc.) sectors. Also pressuring relative performance were the portfolio’s underweight positions in better-performing sectors like health care and consumer staples. Apple was undermined by continued rumors of management change. In addition, some investors believe growth in demand for the iPod has reached a plateau. We maintained our position, convinced that Apple will stay on the cutting edge of personal technology devices and we believe will continue to gain market share. Tyco, a maker of connectors for the auto, aerospace and telephony industries, has seen its stock price decline primarily due to its association with the auto industry. We believe that the company is growing at a healthy rate for a quasi-industrial company and have maintained our position.

Understanding Your Funds’ Expenses
(unaudited)

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. The following Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Funds’ and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2008 and held for the entire period until December 31, 2008.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The second and third columns in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the third column of your Fund under the heading entitled “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 EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The fourth and fifth column in the table 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 is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the fifth column under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any of these transaction costs were included, your costs would be higher. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

(a)		Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days).

(b)		5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, management investment company. The Company is composed of eleven Funds: Transamerica Premier Diversified Equity Fund (the “Diversified Equity Fund”), Transamerica Premier Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund”), Transamerica Premier Focus Fund (the “Focus Fund”),Transamerica Premier Growth Opportunities Fund (the “Growth Opportunities Fund”), Transamerica Premier Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”), Transamerica Premier High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), Transamerica Premier Cash Reserve Fund (the “Cash Reserve Fund”), Transamerica Premier Institutional Bond Fund (the “Institutional Bond Fund”), Transamerica Premier Institutional Equity Fund (the “Institutional Equity Fund”), Transamerica Premier Institutional Small Cap Value Fund (the “Institutional Small Cap Value Fund”), and Transamerica Premier Institutional Diversified Equity Fund (the “Institutional Diversified Equity Fund”), (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). All of the Funds are diversified except the Focus Fund, which is non-diversified under the 1940 Act. For information on investment objectives and strategies, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus.

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

This report should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ current prospectus, which contains more complete information.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Multiple Class Operations and Expenses

The Company currently offers two classes of shares, either an Investor and/or an Institutional class in each of the Funds, which reflect different expense levels. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses, are allocated 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. Each share of each class of a Fund represents an identical legal interest in the investment of the Fund.

Valuation of Securities

Fund investments traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price or closing price on the day of valuation on the 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 sale bid price.

Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services; however, those that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, the Cash Reserve Fund values its securities at amortized cost, which with accrued interest approximates fair value.

The Funds value their investment securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board of Directors on days when significant events occur after the close of the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, and as a result, are expected to materially affect the value of investments. Other securities for which quotations are not readily available or whose values have been determined to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Transamerica Asset Management, Inc.’s (“TAM”) Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board of Directors.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Funds adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2008:


	Investments in						Total
	Securities						Investments in
Fund	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Securities
Diversified Equity Fund	$	188,586	$	32,733	$	—	$	221,319
Equity Fund		504,878		53,829		—		558,707
Focus Fund		38,512		20,237		—		58,749
Growth Opportunities Fund		74,719		14,094		—		88,813
Balanced Fund		161,383		155,082		—		316,465
High Yield Bond Fund		—		33,735		—		33,735
Cash Reserve Fund		—		69,956		—		69,956
Institutional Bond Fund		—		1,155		—		1,155
Institutional Equity Fund		72,155		9,875		—		82,030
Institutional Small Cap Value Fund		4,951		411		—		5,362
Institutional Diversified Equity Fund		441		49		—		490

Management has determined that there were no securities classified as Level 3 securities at December 31, 2007 or December 31, 2008.

Pricing of Shares

The Funds price their shares on the basis of the net asset value of each class of shares of the Funds, which are determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading.

(all amounts in thousands)

NOTE 1. (continued)

Repurchase Agreements

The Funds are authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Funds, through their custodian, State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”), 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 102% 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

Transamerica Investment Management, LLC is the only sub-advisor to the 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 Premier 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 Premier Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions for the year ended December 31, 2008 are included in net realized gains in the Statements of Operations and are summarized as follows:


Fund	Commissions
Diversified Equity Fund	$	9
Equity Fund		34
Focus Fund		4
Growth Opportunities Fund		7
Balanced Fund		6
Institutional Equity Fund		4
Institutional Small Cap Value Fund		4
Institutional Diversified Equity Fund		—	*


*		Amount rounds to less than $1.

Securities lending

The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with State Street acting as the Fund’s lending agent. The Fund earns negotiated lenders’ fees. The Fund receives cash and/or securities as collateral against the loaned securities. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio. The Funds monitor the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and require collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at December 31, 2008 is shown in the Schedules of Investments and in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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

Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)

There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REIT’s. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates. For Funds that invest primarily in real estate securities, the net asset value per share may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a fund that invests in a broad range of industries. Dividend income 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 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.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Interest income and operating expenses are recorded daily on an accrual basis. Discount is recorded on a daily basis using the effective yield method, except the Cash Reserve Fund, which recognizes discount and premium on a straight-line basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends from net investment income on shares of the Cash Reserve Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends from net investment income on shares of the High Yield Bond Fund and the Institutional Bond Fund are declared and paid monthly. Dividends from net investment income, if any, on shares of the Diversified Equity Fund, the Equity Fund, the Focus Fund, the Growth Opportunities Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Institutional Equity Fund, the Institutional Small Cap Value Fund and the Institutional Diversified Equity Fund are declared and paid annually. Each Fund distributes net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for the Cash Reserve Fund, which records dividends daily. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Funds and timing differences. Dividends from net investment income are determined on a class level. Capital gains distributions are determined on a Fund level.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during December 31, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:

Temporary Guarantee Program

The Transamerica Premier Cash Reserve Fund has enrolled in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program for money market funds (the “Program”). Under the Program, the U.S. Treasury guarantees the $1.00 dollar per share value of fund shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008, subject to certain terms and limitations.

Only shareholders who held shares as of September 19, 2008 are eligible to participate in the guarantee. Those shareholders may purchase and redeem shares in their account during the period covered by the Program. However, the number of shares covered by the guarantee cannot exceed the number of shares held by the shareholder at the close of business on September 19, 2008. Thus, to the extent the overall value of a shareholder’s account increases after September 19, 2008, the amount of the increase will not be covered by the guarantee. If a Fund shareholder closes his or her Fund account, any future investment in the Fund will not be guaranteed.

The guarantee will be triggered if the market-based net asset value of the Fund is less than $0.995, unless promptly cured (a “Guarantee Event”). If a Guarantee Event were to occur, the Fund 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 coverage provided for all money market funds participating in the Program (and, in turn, any amount available to the Fund and its eligible shareholders) is subject to an overall limit, currently approximately $50 billion.

The initial period of the Program covered a three month period from September 19, 2008 to December 18, 2008. On November 24, 2008, the Treasury Department announced an extension of the Program from December 19, 2008 through April 30, 2009 (the “Program Extension Period”). On December 5, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Fund elected to participate in the Program Extension Period. The Program may be later extended by the Treasury Department to terminate no later than September 18, 2009. If the Treasury Department extends the Program, the Board will consider whether to continue to participate. The Fund has 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 the Program Extension Period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
At December 31, 2008
(all amounts in thousands)

NOTE 1. (continued)

These expenses are borne by the Fund without regard to any expense limitation agreement in effect for the Fund. Participation in any extension of the Program would require payment of an additional fee, although there can be no assurance that the Fund will elect to participate, or be eligible to participate, in any extension of the Program.

Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and by distributing to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required to be paid by the Funds.

Net investment income distributions and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for items such as deferral of wash sales, return of capital, distributions from real estate investment trusts, premium amortization, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and tax character of distributions paid. Permanent items identified in the year ended December 31, 2008, have been reclassified among components of net assets as follows:


				Undistributed

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that reflect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company has an Investment Advisory Agreement on behalf of each Fund (the “Agreement”) with TAM, an affiliate of AEGON N.V., a Netherlands corporation. TAM is directly owned by Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (77%) and AUSA Holding Company (23%) (“AUSA”), both of which are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of AEGON NV. AUSA is wholly owned by AEGON USA, 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. For its services to the Funds, TAM receives a monthly fee, based on an annual percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The annual fees for the following Funds are:


Fund	Advisory Fee Rate
Diversified Equity Fund *
First $1 billion		0.75	%
Over $1 billion up to $2 billion		0.72

*		Effective 3/1/2008.

See the Funds’ prospectuses for additional information.

TAM has agreed to waive its fees and assume any other operating expenses (other than certain extraordinary or nonrecurring expenses) which together exceed a specified percentage of the average daily net assets of that Fund.

These waivers and subsidies may be terminated at any time without notice.

The specified percentages are as follows:


	Investor			Institutional
Fund	Class			Class
Diversified Equity Fund		1.15	%		—

(all amounts in thousands)

NOTE 2. (continued)

Prior to March 1, 2008, the Focus and Growth Opportunities Funds paid 0.60% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Additionally, TAM was entitled to be paid by the Equity Fund, Diversified Equity Fund, and Balanced Fund an annual advisory fee, which are accrued daily and paid monthly based on average net assets (“ANA”), which may vary between a minimum fee and a maximum fee as follows:


Fund	Minimum Fee	Maximum Fee
Diversified Equity Fund	0.50% of ANA	0.75% of the first $1 billion of ANA 0.72% of the next $1 billion of ANA 0.70% of ANA over $2 billion
Equity Fund	0.50% of ANA	0.85% of the first $1 billion of ANA 0.82% of the next $1 billion of ANA 0.80% of ANA over $2 billion
Balanced Fund	0.50% of ANA	0.75% of the first $1 billion of ANA 0.72% of the next $1 billion of ANA 0.70% of ANA over $2 billion

If payment of the maximum fee would result in a Fund’s annualized operating expenses in any month to exceed the applicable contractual expense limitation (“Expense Cap”) (shown below), the advisory fee payable to TAM will reduce from the maximum fee, but not below the minimum fee, in an amount sufficient to limit annualized Fund operating expenses to the Expense Cap. If payment of the minimum fee would result in Fund operating expenses exceeding the Expense Cap, TAM and/or its affiliates will remit to the Fund an amount sufficient to limit annualized Fund operating expenses to the Expense Cap.

The above Funds are subject to an Expense Cap applicable to each Fund’s annual total operating expenses as follows:


Fund	Expense Caps
Equity Fund		1.15	%
Diversified Equity Fund		1.15	%
Balanced Fund		1.10	%

The actual advisory fees paid for the year ended December 31, 2008 are as follows:


Fund	Advisory Fees
Equity Fund		0.83	%
Diversified Equity Fund		0.72	%
Balanced Fund		0.72	%

Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. (“TFS”) serves as administrator and transfer agent to the Funds. Transfer agent fees paid to TFS on behalf of the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2008 can be found in the Statement of Operations.

TFS is also an affiliate of AEGON N.V.

The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services which include such items as compliance, expenses, financial statement and other reporting, distributions, tax returns, prospectus preparation, board of directors meeting support and other legal matters. The Company pays TFS the greater of an annual fee of 0.02% of average net assets of the Funds, or $385 allocated based pro rata on the average net assets of the Funds.

Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of the shares for each of the Funds. TCI is an affiliate of AEGON N.V.

Certain directors and officers of the Funds are also directors and officers of TAM, TFS, and TCI.

The aggregate fee expensed to all directors who are not affiliated persons of TAM for the year ended December 31, 2008 can be found in the Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2008, TAM and its affiliates held the following percentages of outstanding shares:


	Outstanding

High Yield Bond Fund		—
Cash Reserve Fund		14	%
Institutional Bond Fund		100	%

Institutional Small Cap Value Fund		11	%
Institutional Diversified Equity Fund		100	%

Deferred Compensation Plan

Each eligible independent Fund Director 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 Funds Group II, or funds of Transamerica Investors, Inc. The right of a participant to receive a distribution from the Plan of the deferred fees is an unsecured claim against the general assets of all series of Transamerica Funds. The pro rata liability to the Funds of all deferred fees in the Plan as of December 31, 2008, amounted to the following:


Fund	Expenses
Diversified Equity Fund	$	1
Equity Fund		2
Focus Fund		—	*
Growth Opportunities Fund		—	*
Balanced Fund		1
High Yield Bond Fund		—	*
Cash Reserve Fund		—	*
Institutional Bond Fund		—	*
Institutional Equity Fund		—	*
Institutional Small Cap Value Fund		—	*
Institutional Diversified Equity Fund		—	*


*		Amount rounds to less than $1.

NOTE 3. DISTRIBUTION PLANS

The 12b-1 plans of distribution and related distribution contracts require the Funds to pay distribution fees to TCI as compensation for its activities, not as reimbursement for specific expenses. For the Investor Shares, there is an annual 12b-1 distribution fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets, except for the Cash Reserve Fund. On November 1, 1997, Transamerica Securities Sales Corporation (“TSSC”) and subsequently TCI agreed to waive the distribution fees until at least April 30, 2009 for the Cash Reserve Fund. The fee waivers may be terminated at any time without notice after April 30, 2009. For the Institutional Shares, there is no annual 12b-1 distribution fee. This fee is paid to securities dealers and financial intermediaries for providing personal services and account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

NOTE 5. CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS

At December 31, 2008, there were 1.04 billion shares of $0.001 par value stock authorized. The tables below summarize the transactions in Fund shares for the years and class indicated.

The Diversified Equity Fund, Equity Fund, Focus Fund, and Growth Opportunities Fund have a short-term redemption fee in the Investor Class. Shares of these funds purchased on or after October 1, 2003 that are sold or exchanged within 90 days of the purchase are assessed a redemption fee of 2% of the value of the shares sold or exchanged. The redemption fees are included as a reduction to the amount of capital stock redeemed in the tables below. Due to the risk that the Funds and financial intermediaries may not detect all harmful trading activity, it is possible that shareholders may bear the risks associated with such activity.

NOTE 6. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008 the FASB issued its new Standard No. 161, “Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requries enhanced disclsoures about a Fund’s deriative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 was effective during the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

Implementation of FIN 48 requires Company management to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities (i.e. the last three tax year ends, and the interim tax period since then). The Company has had no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time.

As of December 31, 2008, management has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to any Fund’s net assets or results of operations. There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Company is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Transamerica Investors, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Transamerica Investors, Inc. (comprising, respectively, Transamerica Premier Diversified Equity Fund, Transamerica Premier Equity Fund, Transamerica Premier Focus Fund, Transamerica Premier Growth Opportunities Fund, Transamerica Premier Balanced Fund, Transamerica Premier High Yield Bond Fund, Transamerica Premier Cash Reserve Fund, Transamerica Premier Institutional Bond Fund, Transamerica Premier Institutional Equity Fund, Transamerica Premier Institutional Small Cap Value Fund and Transamerica Premier Institutional Diversified Equity Fund) (the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned eleven Funds of Transamerica Investors, Inc., at December 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
