Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, I would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial 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 it to be an important part of the investment process. In addition to providing a comprehensive review, this report provides a discussion of accounting policies and any matters presented to shareholders that may have required their vote.

We believe it is important to recognize and understand current market conditions in order to provide a context for reading this report. During the past six months, the Federal Reserve has continued its campaign of fighting inflation by raising interest rates at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Oil prices have continued to exhibit significant volatility, with political tensions in Nigeria and Iran, coupled with a lack of excess capacity, adding support to higher prices. However, given these economic headwinds, the U.S. economy has been resilient and has continued its path of positive growth. For the six months ending April 30, 2006, the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned 10.24%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 9.63%. 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 comprehensive 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 this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.

Sincerely,

Brian C. Scott
President

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,014.93       2.00       9.99    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Currently all share classes are closed to new investors. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class I is currently uninvested. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $1, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

Received by Underwriter   $ 9    
Retained by Underwriter     2    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     2    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $94 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $7.

Brokerage commissions: Brokerage commissions incurred on security transactions placed with an affiliate of the adviser for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were $3.

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX American Century International (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board expressed concerns about the Fund's performance compared to its peers, although the Board noted that the Fund's recent performance had improved. The Board also noted that a new portfolio manager had assumed management responsibilities with respect to the Fund, and decided to closely monitor the Fund's performance at upcoming meetings to gauge the ability of the new portfolio manager to continue to improve performance. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided,

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX American Century International (continued)

the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and that the Sub-Adviser's "soft-dollar" arrangements are consistent with applicable law and "best execution" requirements. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.65       0.90       4.13    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Classes A, B, and C are closed to new investors. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $5, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %

Brokerage commissions: Brokerage commissions incurred on security transactions placed with an affiliate of the adviser for the six months ended April 30, 2006, were less than $1.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $7.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 9,032

Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     189,172

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and distribution reclasses.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX American Century Large Company Value (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved competitive investment performance, noting that although the Fund's performance was below median relative to its peers and the benchmark index over the past five-year period, its performance has been at or above median relative to its peers and the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. The Board noted that although the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund are relatively high compared to its peers, the Fund's performance had remained competitive. The Board nonetheless instructed TFAI to work with the Sub-Adviser to attempt to lower the Fund's management and sub-advisory fees in order to reduce the Fund's total expense ratio. Therefore, on the basis of its review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and that the Sub-Adviser's "soft-dollar" arrangements are consistent with applicable law and "best execution" requirements. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting, and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Funds investment in other affiliated investment companies. The average weighted annualized expense ratio of the underlying investment companies at April 30, 2006, was 0.85%.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,021.92       0.58 %     2.91    
Class B  
Actual     1,000.00       1,076.00       1.24 %     6.38    
Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.65       1.24 %     6.21    
Class C  
Actual     1,000.00       1,076.30       1.21 %     6.23    
Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.79       1.21 %     6.06    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At April 30, 2006
(all amounts in thousands)
(unaudited)

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

In the normal course of business, TA IDEX Asset Allocation - Conservative Portfolio (the "Fund") enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class B, and Class C, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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: Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Throughout the year, the Fund may have a cash overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate.

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. Dividends and net realized gain (loss) from investment securities for the Fund are from investments in shares of affiliated investment companies.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any fund shares in a fund account that are sold during the first five (5) New York Stock Exchange ("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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received $3 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Transamerica Investment Management, LLC and Great Companies, L.L.C. are affiliates of the Fund and are sub-advisers to other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following rate:

0.10% of ANA

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

0.45% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the waived advisory fees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
At April 30, 2006
(all amounts in thousands)
(unaudited)

NOTE 2.–(continued)

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  

 

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 978    
Retained by Underwriter     159    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     201    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. As of January 1, 2006, the Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.0125% of ANA. For the period November 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, the Fund paid TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $180 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $14.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 142,407    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     129,947    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and distribution reclasses.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ASSET ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS — REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Asset Allocation - Conservative Portfolio (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Asset Allocation Management Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Morningstar Associates, LLC (the "Portfolio Construction Manager"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Asset Allocation Management Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager (such as in-person presentations by the Portfolio Construction Manager) as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as: comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past, TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Portfolio Construction Manager's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager generally had achieved competitive investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been below median relative to its peers over the past one-year period, but has been above median relative to its peers over the past three-year period, and competitive to the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. However, the Board noted that the profitability data provided to the Board was based on a prior fee arrangement which has been changed following negotiations between TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager pursuant to which the Portfolio Construction Manager agreed to assume additional responsibilities in managing the Fund, and the Board noted that the Portfolio Construction Manager receives the entirety of the management fee payable by the Fund while TFAI gets compensated through the management fees payable by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees, and other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees). Based on such

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Conservative Portfolio (continued)

information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Portfolio Construction Manager, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Portfolio Construction Manager.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board noted that the management fee of the Fund does not contain asset-based breakpoints, despite TFAI's efforts to negotiate such breakpoints with the Portfolio Construction Manager (the Board instructed TFAI to continue to try to negotiate breakpoints for the Fund in the future). However, the Board also noted that, based on the information provided by TFAI, the Fund's investments in underlying funds have permitted the realization of breakpoints (or lower breakpoints) at the underlying fund level which, indirectly, benefit the Fund and its shareholders, as well as the underlying funds. The Board carefully reviewed the one- and three-year performance record and the fees and expenses of the Fund and the comparative information provided by Lipper. The Board concluded that the Fund has management fees in line with, or lower than, its peers. The Board also concluded that the Fund's management fee appropriately reflects the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable to the Portfolio Construction Manager, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Portfolio Construction Manager from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI (including any benefits derived from investment advisory fees payable to TFAI with respect to the underlying funds in which the Fund invests) or the Portfolio Construction Manager from its relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Portfolio Construction Manager realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Portfolio Construction Manager. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Funds investment in other affiliated investment companies. The average weighted annualized expense ratio of the underlying investment companies at April 30, 2006, was 0.93%.

Hypothetical(b)     1,000.00       1,018.74       1.22 %     6.11    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

In the normal course of business, TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio (the "Fund") enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class B, and Class C, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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: Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

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. Dividends and net realized gain (loss) from investment securities for the Fund are from investments in shares of affiliated investment companies.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any fund shares in a fund account that are sold during the first five (5) New York Stock Exchange ("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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received $2 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Transamerica Investment Management, LLC and Great Companies, L.L.C. are affiliates of the Fund and are sub-advisers to other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following rate:

0.10% of ANA

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

0.45% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the waived advisory fees.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

NOTE 2.–(continued)

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  

 

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 3,450    
Retained by Underwriter     546    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     340    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. As of January 1, 2006, the Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.0125% of ANA. For the period November 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, the Fund paid TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $652 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $22.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 559,927    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     288,942    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and distribution reclasses.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ASSET ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Asset Allocation - Growth Portfolio (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Asset Allocation Management Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Morningstar Associates, LLC (the "Portfolio Construction Manager"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Asset Allocation Management Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager (such as in-person presentations by the Portfolio Construction Manager) as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as: comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past, TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Portfolio Construction Manager's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager generally had achieved competitive investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been at median relative to its peers over the past one- and three-year periods, above median relative to its peers over the past two-year period, and competitive to the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. However, the Board noted that the profitability data provided to the Board was based on a prior fee arrangement which has been changed following negotiations between TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager pursuant to which the Portfolio Construction Manager agreed to assume additional responsibilities in managing the Fund, and the Board noted that the Portfolio Construction Manager receives the entirety of the management fee payable by the Fund while TFAI gets compensated through the management fees payable by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees, and other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees). Based on such

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Growth Portfolio (continued)

information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Portfolio Construction Manager, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Portfolio Construction Manager.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board noted that the management fee of the Fund does not contain asset-based breakpoints, despite TFAI's efforts to negotiate such breakpoints with the Portfolio Construction Manager (the Board instructed TFAI to continue to try to negotiate breakpoints for the Fund in the future). However, the Board also noted that, based on the information provided by TFAI, the Fund's investments in underlying funds have permitted the realization of breakpoints (or lower breakpoints) at the underlying fund level which, indirectly, benefit the Fund and its shareholders, as well as the underlying funds. The Board carefully reviewed the one- and three-year performance record and the fees and expenses of the Fund and the comparative information provided by Lipper. The Board concluded that the Fund has management fees in line with, or lower than, its peers. The Board also concluded that the Fund's management fee appropriately reflects the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable to the Portfolio Construction Manager, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Portfolio Construction Manager from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI (including any benefits derived from investment advisory fees payable to TFAI with respect to the underlying funds in which the Fund invests) or the Portfolio Construction Manager from its relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Portfolio Construction Manager realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Portfolio Construction Manager. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Funds investment in other affiliated investment companies. The average weighted annualized expense ratio of the underlying investment companies at April 30, 2006, was 0.90%.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.84       1.20       6.01    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)   5% return per year before expenses.

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At April 30, 2006
(all amounts in thousands)
(unaudited)

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

In the normal course of business, TA IDEX Asset Allocation - Moderate Growth Portfolio (the "Fund") enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class B, and Class C, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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: Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Throughout the year, the Fund may have a cash overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate.

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. Dividends and net realized gain (loss) from investment securities for the Fund are from investments in shares of affiliated investment companies.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any fund shares in a fund account that are sold during the first five (5) New York Stock Exchange ("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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received $5 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Transamerica Investment Management, LLC and Great Companies, L.L.C. are affiliates of the Fund and are sub-advisers to other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following rate:

0.10% of ANA

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

0.45% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the waived advisory fees.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

NOTE 2.–(continued)

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  

 

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 6,377    
Retained by Underwriter     1,025    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     620    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. As of January 1, 2006, the Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.0125% of ANA. For the period November 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, the Fund paid TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $1,028 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $46.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 919,861    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     501,231    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and distribution reclasses.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ASSET ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Asset Allocation - Moderate Growth Portfolio (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Asset Allocation Management Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Morningstar Associates, LLC (the "Portfolio Construction Manager"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Asset Allocation Management Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager (such as in-person presentations by the Portfolio Construction Manager) as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as: comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past, TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Portfolio Construction Manager's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager generally had achieved acceptable investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been at median relative to its peers over the past one-, two- and three-year periods and competitive to the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. However, the Board noted that the profitability data provided to the Board was based on a prior fee arrangement which has been changed following negotiations between TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager pursuant to which the Portfolio Construction Manager agreed to assume additional responsibilities in managing the Fund, and the Board noted that the Portfolio Construction Manager receives the entirety of the management fee payable by the Fund while TFAI gets compensated through the management fees payable by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees, and other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees). Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth Portfolio (continued)

averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Portfolio Construction Manager, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Portfolio Construction Manager.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board noted that the management fee of the Fund does not contain asset-based breakpoints, despite TFAI's efforts to negotiate such breakpoints with the Portfolio Construction Manager (the Board instructed TFAI to continue to try to negotiate breakpoints for the Fund in the future). However, the Board also noted that, based on the information provided by TFAI, the Fund's investments in underlying funds have permitted the realization of breakpoints (or lower breakpoints) at the underlying fund level which, indirectly, benefit the Fund and its shareholders, as well as the underlying funds. The Board carefully reviewed the one- and three-year performance record and the fees and expenses of the Fund and the comparative information provided by Lipper. The Board concluded that the Fund has management fees in line with, or lower than, its peers. The Board also concluded that the Fund's management fee appropriately reflects the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable to the Portfolio Construction Manager, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Portfolio Construction Manager from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI (including any benefits derived from investment advisory fees payable to TFAI with respect to the underlying funds in which the Fund invests) or the Portfolio Construction Manager from its relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Portfolio Construction Manager realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Portfolio Construction Manager. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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. The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Funds investment in other affiliated investment companies. The average weighted annualized expense ratio of the underlying investment companies at April 30, 2006, was 0.88%.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.89       1.19       5.96    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

In the normal course of business, TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio (the "Fund") enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class B, and Class C, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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: Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

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. Dividends and net realized gain (loss) from investment securities for the Fund are from investments in shares of affiliated investment companies.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any fund shares in a fund account that are sold during the first five (5) New York Stock Exchange ("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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received $5 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Transamerica Investment Management, LLC and Great Companies, L.L.C. are affiliates of the Fund and are sub-advisers to other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following rate:

0.10% of ANA

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

0.45% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the waived advisory fees.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements

such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A  0.35%
Class B  1.00%
Class C  1.00%

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 2,860    
Retained by Underwriter     468    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     413    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. As of January 1, 2006, the Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.0125% of ANA. For the period November 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, the Fund paid TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $559 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $33.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 475,161    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     325,557    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and distribution reclasses.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ASSET ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Asset Allocation Management Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Morningstar Associates, LLC (the "Portfolio Construction Manager"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Asset Allocation Management Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager (such as in-person presentations by the Portfolio Construction Manager) as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as: comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past, TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Portfolio Construction Manager's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager generally had achieved superior investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been superior relative to its peers over the past one-, two- and three-year periods and superior to the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. However, the Board noted that the profitability data provided to the Board was based on a prior fee arrangement which has been changed following negotiations between TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager pursuant to which the Portfolio Construction Manager agreed to assume additional responsibilities in managing the Fund as a sub-adviser, and the Board noted that the Portfolio Construction Manager receives the entirety of the management fee payable by the Fund while TFAI gets compensated through the management fees payable by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees, and other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees). Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Asset Allocation – Moderate Portfolio (continued)

industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Portfolio Construction Manager, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Portfolio Construction Manager.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board noted that the management fee of the Fund does not contain asset-based breakpoints, despite TFAI's efforts to negotiate such breakpoints with the Portfolio Construction Manager (the Board instructed TFAI to continue to try to negotiate breakpoints for the Fund in the future). However, the Board also noted that, based on the information provided by TFAI, the Fund's investments in underlying funds have permitted the realization of breakpoints (or lower breakpoints) at the underlying fund level which, indirectly, benefit the Fund and its shareholders, as well as the underlying funds. The Board carefully reviewed the one- and three-year performance record and the fees and expenses of the Fund and the comparative information provided by Lipper. The Board concluded that the Fund has management fees in line with, or lower than, its peers. The Board also concluded that the Fund's management fee appropriately reflects the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable to the Portfolio Construction Manager, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Portfolio Construction Manager from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI (including any benefits derived from investment advisory fees payable to TFAI with respect to the underlying funds in which the Fund invests) or the Portfolio Construction Manager from its relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Portfolio Construction Manager realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Portfolio Construction Manager. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.56       0.92       4.22    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

Effective November 1, 2005, TA IDEX Clarion Real Estate Securities changed its name to TA IDEX Clarion Global Real Estate Securities (the "Fund").

The Fund is "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act.

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Classes A, B, and C are closed to new investors. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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

Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $18 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $3, earned by IBT for its services.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates. Since the Fund invests primarily in real estate securities, the net asset value per share may fluctuate more widely than the net asset 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.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 1) foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions; 2) gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts; and 3) the difference between the receivable amounts of interest and dividends recorded in the accounting records in U.S. dollars and the amounts actually received.

Foreign currency denominated assets may involve risks not typically associated with domestic transactions. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. 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, 2006 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

0.80% of the first $250 million of ANA
0.775% of the next $250 million of ANA
0.70% of the next $500 million of ANA

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.40% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the waived advisory fees.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

From February 28, 2006 through March 1, 2007, the Fund will not pay any 12b-1 fees under these plans.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $23 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $4.

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and distribution reclasses.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Clarion Global Real Estate Securities (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and ING Clarion Real Estate Securities, L.P. (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board noted the Fund's high absolute performance, but expressed some concerns about the Fund's relative performance in comparison to its peer group and benchmark index. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved acceptable investment performance and also concluded that recent changes to the Fund's investment objectives and strategies to seek high total return and permit more investment in global real estate securities could enhance return opportunities. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,019.69       1.03       5.16    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

Effective March 1, 2006, TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Health Sciences changed its name to TA IDEX Evergreen Health Care (the "Fund") and changed its sub-advisor from T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("T. Rowe Price") to Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC ("Evergreen").

The Fund is "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act.

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Classes A, B, and C are closed to new investors. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Commission recapture: The Fund's previous sub-adviser, T. Rowe Price, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, placed security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party. Evergreen does not participate in the Commission Recapture Program.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $16 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets

and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 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.

Option contracts: The Fund may enter into options contracts to manage exposure to 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 imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the options contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contracts terms. When the Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.

The underlying face amounts of open option contracts at April 30, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Transactions in written call and put options were as follows:

    Premium   Contracts*  
Beginning Balance October 31, 2005   $ 3,825       10,651    
Sales     6,851       22,206

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

From February 28, 2006 through March 1, 2007, the Fund will not pay 12b-1 fees under these plans.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $7.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 431,784    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     367,650    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and straddles.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW, RENEWAL AND APPROVAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Evergreen Health Care (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") to determine whether the Investment Advisory Agreement should be renewed for a one-year period. During the meeting, TFAI also proposed that the Board approve the replacement of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("T. Rowe"), then the Fund's sub-adviser, with Evergreen Investment Management Company LLC ("Evergreen") effective on or about March 1, 2006. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the proposed change in investment sub-adviser will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the renewal of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with T. Rowe until it was replaced by Evergreen, effective on or about March 1, 2006. The Board also approved the successor Evergreen Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Fund's name change to "TA IDEX Evergreen Health Care." In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and Evergreen such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Investment Advisory Agreement and the proposed Evergreen Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as: comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data prepared by TFAI. In considering the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the proposed Evergreen Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services expected to be provided by TFAI and Evergreen to the Fund in the future. The Trustees favorably noted that Evergreen proposed to manage the Fund with an experienced team of fund managers at a lower sub-advisory fee rate than T. Rowe. The Board concluded that TFAI and Evergreen are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided by TFAI in the past, TFAI's and Evergreen's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and Evergreen, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of Evergreen's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and Evergreen proposed to provide investment and related services that were of comparable or superior quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund under the management of T. Rowe, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that the Fund had achieved acceptable investment performance, noting that although the performance of the Fund was below median relative to its peers and trailed the benchmark index over the past one-year period, the Fund's performance was above median relative to its peers and the benchmark index over the past two- and three-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services expected to be provided or procured by TFAI and Evergreen and Evergreen's track record in managing similar funds, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and Evergreen should be capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's performance record in managing the Fund and Evergreen's performance record in managing other funds indicate that their management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. The Board noted that Evergreen had agreed to manage the Fund at a lower sub-advisory fee rate, which would in turn permit TFAI to lower its advisory fees. The Board carefully reviewed the

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Evergreen Health Care (continued)

proposal, and considered, among other things, the proposed investment advisory fees, sub-advisory fees and estimated operating expenses of the Fund, which the Board determined to be generally consistent with industry averages. The Board concluded that the proposed changes are reasonably likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the proposed management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, the proposed sub-advisory fees to be paid by Evergreen, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, and the estimated pre-tax profit margins of Evergreen, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the proposed level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and Evergreen's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and Evergreen.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that it may continue selling shares to other funds of TA IDEX and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. The Board also concluded that the lowered investment advisory and sub-advisory fees reflect potential economies of scale to some extent by virtue of their competitive levels determined with reference to industry standards as reported by Lipper and the estimated profitability at current or foreseeable asset levels. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's investment management and sub-advisory fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI and Evergreen and the competitive nature of the investment company industry. The Trustees also determined 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to Evergreen, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or Evergreen from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI and Evergreen had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI and Evergreen to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,016.29       0.90       3.60    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 145 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). TA IDEX Great Companies – AmericaSM (the "Fund") is "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act.

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares were offered for investment on November 15, 2005, and investment activity began on December 6, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $29 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $1, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

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 any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $8.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 57,493    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     68,148    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue

Code. 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, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Great Companies - AmericaSM (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Great Companies, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board expressed concerns about the Fund's performance, but noted that the Fund's new pricing will result in lower management and sub-advisory fees, which could contribute to improving performance. The Board undertook to closely monitor the Fund's performance or asked that TFAI work with the Sub-Adviser to take steps to improve performance. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's new pricing schedule (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. The Board favorably noted the Fund's new pricing, which results in lower management and sub-advisory fees to the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the

TA IDEX Great Companies–AmericaSM (continued)

services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.60       0.91       4.18    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The TA IDEX Great Companies–
TechnologySM (the "Fund") is "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act.

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $21 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $4, earned by IBT for its services.

NOTE 1.–(continued)

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

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 any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $3.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 43,260    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     48,301    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, net operating losses, distribution reclasses and return of capital from underlying investments.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

TA IDEX Great Companies–TechnologySM

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Great Companies - TechnologySM (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Great Companies, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board expressed concerns about the Fund's performance, but noted that the Fund's new pricing will result in lower management and sub-advisory fees, which could contribute to improving performance. The Board undertook to closely monitor the Fund's performance or asked that TFAI work with the Sub-Adviser to take steps to improve performance. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's new pricing schedule (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. The Board favorably noted the Fund's new pricing, which results in lower management and sub-advisory fees to the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

TA IDEX Great Companies–TechnologySM (continued)

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,019.89       0.99       4.96    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B, C and T, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers five classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class T, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class T shares are not available to new investors. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

NOTE 1.–(continued)

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $89 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $23, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 1) foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions; 2) gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts; and 3) the difference between the receivable amounts of interest and dividends recorded in the accounting records in U.S. dollars and the amounts actually received.

Foreign currency denominated assets may involve risks not typically associated with domestic transactions. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. 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 currency contracts at April 30, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received $5 in 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.

0.80% of the first $250 million of ANA
0.77% of the next $500 million of ANA
0.75% of the next $750 million of ANA
0.70% of the next $1.5 billion of ANA

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.30% Expense Limit

The sub-adviser, Janus Capital Management, LLC, has agreed to a pricing discount based on the aggregate assets that they manage in the AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust and Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds. There was no discount received by the Fund for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund, excluding Class T. The 12b-1 fee for the Fund is comprised of a 0.25% service fee and the remaining amount is an asset-based sales charge/distribution fee. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    
Class T     N/A    

 

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A and T shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 262    
Retained by Underwriter     39    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     131    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $1,305 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $356.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 272,283

Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     419,405    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, deferred compensation and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Janus Growth (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Janus Capital Management LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund in the past, as well as the services anticipated to be provided in the future. The Board discussed recent developments affecting the Sub-Adviser (i.e., regulatory scrutiny, new management and rumors of a potential change of control transaction) and considered how those may impact the Fund. The Board was satisfied with TFAI's representation about a perceived improvement in the Sub-Adviser's management and improved corporate culture, which could benefit the Fund, and concluded that TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved superior investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund was above median relative to its peers over the past one-, two-, three- and ten-year periods, and superior to the benchmark index over the past one-, two-, three- and ten-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages, although, the Board requested that Fund management seek improved pricing for the Fund in the coming year. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser,

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Janus Growth (continued)

as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX. The Board concluded that the current level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.65       0.90       4.13    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Classes A, B, and C are closed to new investors. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $11 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $2, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.40% Expense Limit

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 10    
Retained by Underwriter     1    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     6

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 any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $7.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006, were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 80,005    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     51,039    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Jennison Growth (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Jennison Associates LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees conclude that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved superior investment performance, noting the superior performance of the Fund relative to its peers and the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods, although the performance of the Fund was at median compared to its peers and approximated the benchmark index over the past five-year period. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board favorably noted the Fund's new pricing schedule, which results in lower asset-based management and sub-advisory fee breakpoints, which, based upon current asset levels, should result in lower management fees to the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

12



TA IDEX Jennison Growth (continued)

management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.69       0.89       4.09    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Classes A, B, and C are closed to new investors. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $12 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $19, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received $1 in 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.

0.70% of ANA over $500 million

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.40% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the waived advisory fees.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

From February 28, 2006 through March 1, 2007, the Fund will not pay 12b-1 fees under these plans.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 11

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $63 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the

Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $4.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Long-Term     44,921

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, net operating losses, foreign currency transactions and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

Capital Loss

  Available through

  8,550     October 31, 2011  

 

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Marsico Growth (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved superior performance and noted that the Fund's performance has been above median relative to its peers and superior to the benchmark index over the past one-, two-, three- and five- year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

TA IDEX Marsico Growth (continued)

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at March 1, 2006 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any expenses from the Funds investment in other affiliated investment companies. The average weighted annualized expense ratio of the underlying investment companies at April 30, 2006, was 1.15%.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,005.84       1.45       2.39    

 

(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 number of days in the period (60 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At April 30, 2006
(all amounts in thousands)
(unaudited)

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). TA IDEX Multi-Manager International Fund (the "Fund") began operations on March 1, 2006.

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class B, and Class C, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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: Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 from inception through April 30, 2006, the Fund received $1 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following rate:

0.10% of ANA

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

0.45% Expense Limit

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  

 

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C

and certain A share redemptions. For the period from inception through April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were less than $1.

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.0125% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $15 for the period from inception through April 30, 2006.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the period from inception through April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 38,619    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term        
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ASSET ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND APPROVAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Multi-Manager International Fund (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the proposed Asset Allocation Management Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Morningstar Associates, LLC (the "Portfolio Construction Manager"), to determine whether the agreements should be approved for an initial two-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the anticipated fee and expense information and profitability data prepared by TFAI. In considering the approval of the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the Asset Allocation Management Agreement, the Board considered its prior discussion of the Fund during the September meeting, during which the Board reached a number of conclusions about the management program proposed by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager. In addition, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services expected to be provided by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager to the Fund. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided to other TA IDEX funds in the past, TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, TFAI's management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Portfolio Construction Manager's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager proposed to provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations and the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board noted that no performance information is available for the Fund, but determined that most other funds managed by the Portfolio Construction Manager have generally performed well and generated considerable investor interest. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services expected to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Portfolio Construction Manager are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's performance records indicate that their management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed estimated profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. Based on such information, the Trustees concluded that the proposed management fees of the Fund are competitive compared to other international large-cap mutual funds. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Portfolio Construction Manager, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the anticipated investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Portfolio Construction Manager's profitability, are appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services proposed to be provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Portfolio Construction Manager.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board considered the anticipated levels of assets in the Fund and noted that the management fee of the Fund will not contain asset-based breakpoints. However, the Board also noted that, based on the information provided by TFAI, the Fund's investments in underlying funds likely will permit the realization of breakpoints (or lower breakpoints) at the underlying fund level which, indirectly, benefit the Fund and its shareholders, as well as the underlying

TA IDEX Multi-Manager International Fund (continued)

funds. The Board concluded that the Fund's anticipated management fee appropriately reflects the Fund's anticipated size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable to the Portfolio Construction Manager, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Portfolio Construction Manager from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits expected to be derived by TFAI (including any benefits derived from investment advisory fees payable to TFAI with respect to the underlying funds in which the Fund will invest) or the Portfolio Construction Manager from its relationship with the Fund should be reasonable and fair, and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Portfolio Construction Manager will realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees to be paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI will be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the TA IDEX funds in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees favorably considered the procedures and policies in place by TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Portfolio Construction Manager. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the TA IDEX funds, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the TA IDEX funds, including the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

The Fund is "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Classes A, B, and C are closed to new investors. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 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.

NOTE 1.–(continued)

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. 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, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Swap agreements: The Fund may enter into swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve commitments to pay/receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.

Entering into these agreements involves elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

Open swap agreements at April 30, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to market, interest rate or currency fluctuations. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held and the prices of futures contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms.

The underlying face amount of open futures contracts at April 30, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin represents the additional payment due or excess deposits made in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level.

Option contracts: The Fund may enter into options contracts to manage exposure to 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 imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the options contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contracts terms. When the Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.

Transactions in written options were as follows:

    Premium   Contracts*  
Beginning Balance October 31, 2005   $ 91       403    
Sales     245       901    
Closing Buys     (117 )     (552 )  
Expirations     (166 )     (679 )  
Exercised              
Balance at April 30, 2006   $ 53       73    

 

*  Contracts not in thousands

Swaptions contracts: The Fund is authorized to write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to enhance fund yield. Swaption contracts written by the Fund represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a previously agreed upon swap contract on a future date. If a written call option is exercised, the writer will enter a swap and is obligated to pay the fixed rate and receive a variable rate in exchange. Swaptions are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers.

When the Fund writes a swaption, the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the swaption. Changes in the value of the swaption are reported as Unrealized gains or losses in written options in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gain or loss is recognized when the swaption contract expires or is closed. Premiums received from writing swaptions that expire or are exercised are treated by the Fund as realized gains from

written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on affecting a closing purchase transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

0.70% of the first $250 million of ANA
0.65% of the next $500 million of ANA
0.60% of ANA over $750 million

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

From November 1, 2005 to November 6, 2005:

1.30% Expense Limit-Classes A, B and C
1.00% Expense Limit-Class I

From November 7, 2005 on:

1.30% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the reimbursed class expenses.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

From February 28, 2006 through March 1, 2007, the Fund will not pay 12b-1 fees under these plans.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 2    
Retained by Underwriter        
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $15 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $11.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 30,347    
U.S. Government     1,362,199    
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     50,402    
U.S. Government     1,320,493    

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, swap reclass, futures, options and foreign currency transactions.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

TA IDEX PIMCO Real Return TIPS

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX PIMCO Real Return TIPS (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by the Sub-Adviser) as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as: comparative fee, transfer agency, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved competitive investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been at or above median relative to its peers over the past one- and two-year periods and superior to the benchmark index over the past one- and two-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided,

the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows, notwithstanding the absence of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's sub-advisory fees. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,019.15       0.79       3.63    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Classes A, B and C are closed to new investors. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

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

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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.

NOTE 1.–(continued)

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $1, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 1) foreign currency fluctuations between trade date and settlement date of investment security transactions; 2) gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts; and 3) the difference between the receivable amounts of interest and dividends recorded in the accounting records in U.S. dollars and the amounts actually received.

Foreign currency denominated assets may involve risks not typically associated with domestic transactions. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. 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, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Swap agreements: The Fund may enter into swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve commitments to pay/receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.

Entering into these agreements involves elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

Open swaps agreements at April 30, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to market, interest rate or currency fluctuations. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held and the prices of futures contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms.

The underlying face amounts of open futures contracts at April 30, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments. The variation margin receivable or payable, as applicable, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Variation margin represents the additional

payment due or excess deposits made in order to maintain the equity account at the required margin level.

Option contracts: The Fund may enter into options contracts to manage exposure to 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 imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the options contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contracts terms. When the Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.

Transactions in written options were as follows:

    Premium   Contracts*  
Beginning Balance October 31, 2005   $ 37       132    
Sales     33       62    
Closing Buys     (24 )     (90 )  
Expirations     (19 )     (66 )  
Exercised              
Balance at April 30, 2006   $ 27       38    

 

*  Contracts not in thousands

Swaptions contracts: The Fund is authorized to write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to enhance fund yield. Swaption contracts written by the Fund represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a previously agreed upon swap contract on a future date. If a written call option is exercised, the writer will enter a swap and is obligated to pay the fixed rate and receive a variable rate in exchange. Swaptions are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers.

When the Fund writes a swaption, the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the swaption. Changes in the value of the swaption are reported as Unrealized gains or losses in written options in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gain or loss is recognized when the swaption contract expires or is closed. Premiums received from writing swaptions that expire or are exercised are treated by the Fund as realized gains from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on affecting a closing purchase transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss.

Transactions in written swaptions were as follows:

    Premium   Notional
Amount
 
Beginning Balance October 31, 2005   $ 196       20,000    
Sales     61       12,300

Expirations              
Exercised              
Balance at April 30, 2006   $ 190       23,300    

 

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following breakpoints:

0.70% of the first $250 million of ANA
0.65% of the next $500 million of ANA
0.60% of ANA over $750 million

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.30% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the reimbursed class expenses.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

From February 28, 2006 through March 1, 2007, the Fund will not pay 12b-1 fees under these plans.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 3    
Retained by Underwriter     1    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     6    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $42 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $6.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX PIMCO Total Return (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by the Sub-Adviser) as part of their regular oversight of the Fund, as well as: comparative fee, transfer agency, expense and performance information prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved acceptable investment performance, noting that although the performance of the Fund has been trailing the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods, its performance has been at median relative to its peers over the past one-, two- and three-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the

TA IDEX PIMCO Total Return (continued)

services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows, notwithstanding the absence of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's sub-advisory fees. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,012.25       2.53       12.62    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class M, each with different expense levels. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

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 Fund is 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.

Option contracts: The Fund may enter into options contracts to manage exposure to 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 imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the options contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contracts terms. When the Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.

The underlying face amounts of open contracts at April 30, 2006, are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Transactions in written call and put options were as follows:

    Premium   Contracts*  
Beginning Balance October 31, 2005   $ 1,161       388

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 any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Protected Principal Stock (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Gateway Investment Advisers, L.P. (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. In light of the upcoming change-of-control of the Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered the successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (as well as its successor agreement) will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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, the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, as well as a successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, to take effect following an impending change of control with respect to the Sub-Adviser. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees conclude that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved acceptable investment performance, noting that although the Fund's performance has been below median relative to its peers and trailed the benchmark index over the past two-year period, its performance has been at median relative to its peers and approximated the benchmark index over the past one-year period. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund's principal protection goal lessened the relevance of a comparison of the Fund's performance against a benchmark index. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages for principal protected funds. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services,

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Protected Principal Stock (continued)

the effect of the unique guarantee feature of the Fund on the level of management fees, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. In considering the successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that the successor agreement would provide continuity of portfolio management services, as the terms of the successor agreement would be substantially identical to those of the current Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (including the sub-advisory fees) and it was contemplated that all of the current personnel associated with managing the Fund will be retained and continue to serve in their current capacity. Additionally, the Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Class A

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,017.11       1.55       7.75    
Class B  
Actual     1,000.00       1,124.10       2.20       11.59    
Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,013.88       2.20       10.99    
Class C  
Actual     1,000.00       1,124.10       2.20       11.59    
Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,013.88       2.20       10.99    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b) 5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

The TA IDEX Salomon All Cap (the "Fund") is "non-diversified" under the 1940 act.

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class I is currently uninvested. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

(unaudited)

NOTE 1.–(continued)

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $28 are included in net realized gains on the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $14, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following breakpoints:

0.80% of the first $500 million of ANA
0.70% of ANA over $500 million

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.20% Expense Limit

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 52    
Retained by Underwriter     8    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     126

NOTE 2.–(continued)

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $349 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $26.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 44,103    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     172,818    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, net operating losses, excess distributions and foreign currency transactions.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Salomon All Cap (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. In light of the upcoming change-of-control of the Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered the successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. Following their review and consideration, a majority of the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (as well as its successor agreement) will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including a majority of the independent members of the Board, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, as well as a successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, to take effect following an impending change of control with respect to the Sub-Adviser. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board expressed concerns about the Fund's performance and carefully considered whether to renew the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that although the Fund had underperformed comparable investment companies and its benchmark index, the Sub-Adviser had recently made progress on improving performance. After careful consideration of the materials presented and their discussions at prior Board meetings with representatives of the Sub-Adviser, the Board decided to continue the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement following the Board's prior discussion with the Sub-Adviser concerning performance and undertook to carefully monitor the Fund's future performance. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Salomon All Cap (continued)

(derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting, and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. In considering the successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that the successor agreement would provide continuity of portfolio management services, as the terms of the successor agreement would be substantially similar to those of the current agreement (including the sub-advisory fees) and it was contemplated that all of the current personnel associated with managing the Fund will be retained and continue to serve in their current capacity. Additionally, the Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.74       0.88       4.04    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Classes A, B, and C are closed to new investors. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

NOTE 1.–(continued)

For the period ended April 30, 2006 there were no recaptured commissions.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $2, earned by IBT for its services.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

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.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

From February 28, 2006 through March 1, 2007, the Fund will not pay 12b-1 fees under these plans.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 4    
Retained by Underwriter     1    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     2    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $58 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $10.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 17,503    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     138,336    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, distribution reclassifications and foreign currency transactions.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Salomon Investors Value (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. In light of the upcoming change-of-control of the Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered the successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. Following their review and consideration, a majority of the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (as well as its successor agreement) will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including a majority of the independent members of the Board, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, as well as a successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, to take effect following an impending change of control with respect to the Sub-Adviser. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board expressed concerns about the Fund's performance and carefully considered whether to renew the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that although the Fund had underperformed comparable investment companies and its benchmark index, the Sub-Adviser had recently made progress on improving performance. After careful consideration of the materials presented and their discussions at prior Board meetings with representatives of the Sub-Adviser, the Board decided to continue the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement following the Board's prior discussion with the Sub-Adviser concerning performance and undertook to carefully monitor the Fund's future performance. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Salomon Investors Value (continued)

from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting, and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. In considering the successor agreement to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that the successor agreement would provide continuity of portfolio management services, as the terms of the successor agreement would be substantially similar to those of the current agreement (including the sub-advisory fees) and it was contemplated that all of the current personnel associated with managing the Fund will be retained and continue to serve in their current capacity. Additionally, the Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

In the normal course of business, TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Small Cap (the "Fund") enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Classes A, B, and C are closed to new investors. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of less than $1 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $4, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

The following schedule reflects the percentage of Fund assets owned by affiliated investment companies at April 30, 2006:

    Net

    2,311       8.41 %  
Total   $ 4,710       17.14 %  

 

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following breakpoints:

0.75% of the first $500 million of ANA
0.70% of ANA over $500 million

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.35% Expense Limit

The sub-adviser, T. Rowe Price, has agreed to a pricing discount based on the aggregate assets that they manage in the Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds. The amount of the discount received by the Fund at April 30, 2006 was $1.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

From February 28, 2006 through March 1, 2007, the Fund will not pay 12b-1 fees under these plans.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 7    
Retained by Underwriter     1    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     2    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $60 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006, were as follows:

Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     37,436    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and net operating losses.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Small Cap (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved competitive investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been at median relative to its peers over the past one-, two-, three- and five-year periods and competitive or superior to the benchmark index over the past one-, two-, three- and five-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, and TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Small Cap (continued)

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,014.68       2.04       10.19    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

In the normal course of business, TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Tax-Efficient Growth (the "Fund") enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently has four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with different expense levels. Currently all share classes are closed to new investors. Class I commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class I is currently uninvested. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $1, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following breakpoints:

0.75% of the first $500 million of ANA
0.65% of ANA over $500 million

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.35% Expense Limit

The sub-adviser, T. Rowe Price, has agreed to a pricing discount based on the aggregate assets that they manage in the Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds. The amount of the discount received by the Fund for the six months ended April 30, 2006 was $1.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

From February 28, 2006 through March 1, 2007, the Fund will not pay 12b-1 fees under these plans.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 2    
Retained by Underwriter        
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     1    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $36 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $2.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 1,086    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     9,831    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and capital loss carryforwards.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Tax-Efficient Growth (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved acceptable investment performance, noting that although the performance of the Fund has been below median relative to its peers and the benchmark index over the past one- and two-year periods, its performance has been at or above median relative to its peers and the benchmark index over the past three- and five-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, and TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

TA IDEX T. Rowe Price Tax-Efficient Growth (continued)

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. In addition, the Board assessed the current asset levels of the Fund and the long-term development strategy for the Fund, including continued investments by the TA IDEX asset allocation funds, and concluded that the Fund's current management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $56 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned.

(unaudited)

NOTE 1.–(continued)

Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $8, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received $1 in 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.

NOTE 2.–(continued)

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 49

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $111.

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, excess distribution, return of capital from underlying investments, passive foreign investment companies, deferred compensation and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

NOTE 5. REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Templeton Great Companies Global (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements of the Fund between TFAI and each of the sub-advisers, Great Companies, LLC and Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC (the "Sub-Advisers"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Advisers such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Advisers (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Advisers' management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the Funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Advisers, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Advisers' portfolio management teams. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Advisers proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Advisers' obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Advisers generally had achieved acceptable investment performance, although they noted that the domestic portion of the Fund had underperformed while the international portion of the Fund had generally outperformed the benchmark. The Board decided to monitor closely the future performance of the domestic portion of the Fund, and also asked TFAI to take necessary steps to improve the Fund's performance, including consideration of alternative sub-advisers for the domestic portion of the Fund. However, on the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Advisers, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Advisers are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Advisers' performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of each Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Advisers' profitability, are appropriate in light of the

TA IDEX Templeton Great Companies Global (continued)

services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisers.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Advisers, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Advisers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisers from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and that the Sub-Advisers are participating in brokerage programs 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-Advisers may engage in with respect to the Fund's brokerage transactions. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Advisers. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,016.86       1.60       8.00

Actual     1,000.00       1,089.20       2.15       11.14    
Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,014.13       2.15       10.74    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class I is currently uninvested. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 Fund's 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 Fund may be valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

For the period ended April 30, 2006 there were no recaptured commissions.

NOTE 1.–(continued)

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $15, earned by IBT for its services.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

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 Fund is 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.

Foreign currency denominated investments: The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate each day. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. The Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Transamerica Investment Management, LLC is both an affiliate of the Fund and a sub-adviser to the Fund.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following breakpoints:

0.80% of the first $250 million of ANA
0.75% of the next $250 million of ANA
0.70% of the next $1 billion of ANA
0.625% of ANA over $1.5 billion

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.45% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the reimbursed class expenses.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A

NOTE 2.–(continued)

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 55    
Retained by Underwriter     8    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     111    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $321 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $38.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 43,968    
U.S. Government     24,092    
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     61,418    
U.S. Government     23,112    

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

Capital Loss
Carryforwards
  Available through  
$ 520     October 31, 2009  
  26,030     October 31, 2010  
  9,071     October 31, 2011  

 

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica Balanced (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board expressed concerns about the Fund's median or below median performance, and requested that the Sub-Adviser be informed about these concerns and be asked to work with TFAI to formulate a plan to address them. However, the Board noted that the Fund was previously managed by another sub-adviser, and that the Fund's long-term performance cannot be attributed to the Sub-Adviser. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser have achieved an acceptable level of investment performance and are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records with respect to the Fund and other mutual funds indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

TA IDEX Transamerica Balanced (continued)

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.96       0.83       3.81    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $25, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

0.75% of the first $250 million of ANA
0.70% of ANA over $250 million

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

1.35% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the reimbursed class expenses.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $7.

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica Convertible Securities (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved competitive investment performance, noting that although the performance of the Fund was below median relative to its peers over the three-year period, its performance has been above median relative to its peers over the past one- and two-year periods and superior to or competitive with the benchmark index. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,019.06       0.81       3.72    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $3 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $8, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

NOTE 5. REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica Equity (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved superior investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been above median relative to its peers over the past one-, two-, three-, and five-year periods and superior to the benchmark index over the past one-, two-, three- and five-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,020.58       0.85       4.26    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $20, earned by IBT for its services.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in redemption fees.

There are no amounts available for recapture at April 30, 2006.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund.

NOTE 2.–(continued)

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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $15.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

U.S. Government     39,597

Long-Term     112,385    
U.S. Government     111,657    

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforward is available to offset future realized capital gains through the period listed:

Capital Loss
Carryforward
  Available through  
$ 890     October 31, 2013  

 

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

NOTE 6.  RESTATEMENT

The Fund's previously issued financial statements presented accretion of discount incorrectly for the years ended October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2004. This was due to the security Raytheon Co. accreting discount based on an incorrect maturity value. The impact of correcting the maturity value of Raytheon Co. was to reduce interest income on the Statement of Operations with an offsetting adjustment to unrealized gain (loss). The financial highlights have also been restated accordingly. This restatement had no effect on the Fund's net assets, net asset value per share or total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during the periods.

This restatement changed the financial statements as follows:

TA IDEX Transamerica Flexible Income

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica Flexible Income (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved competitive investment performance, noting that although the performance of the Fund has been below or at median relative to its peers and approximated the benchmark index over the past two-, three-, and five-year periods, its performance has been above median relative to its peers and better than the benchmark index over the past one-year period. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. The Board expressed concerns about the relatively high level of fees and expenses paid by the Fund, while noting that the Fund's performance was competitive (and very competitive over the past year), and concluded that the relatively high level of fees and expenses may be attributable, at least in part, to the small asset size of the Fund. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund are acceptable, although the Board requested that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser consider ways to reduce expenses. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall

expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.74       0.88       4.04    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $11 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $84, earned by IBT for its services.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 76

Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $16.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 128,091    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     131,331    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

Capital Loss

  Available through  
$ 194,799     October 31, 2008

  7,437     October 31, 2011  

 

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica Growth Opportunities (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, and TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved acceptable investment performance, noting that although the performance of the Fund has been below median relative to its peers and trailed the benchmark index over the past one- and three-year periods, it has been at median relative to its peers and competitive with the benchmark index over the past two- and five-year periods. The Board noted that while the Fund's performance could be improved, the performance record largely was attributable to the Sub-Adviser's prior equity investment team, and the Board determined that the results of the new team would be carefully monitored on a going-forward basis. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

11



TA IDEX Transamerica Growth Opportunities (continued)

the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,021.47       0.67       3.36    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $92, earned by IBT for its services.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in redemption fees.

maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $25.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 152,217    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     190,564    
U.S. Government     1,794    

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future realized capital gains through the periods listed:

Capital Loss
Carryforwards
  Available through  
$ 1,624     October 31, 2010  
  5,283     October 31, 2011  

 

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica High-Yield Bond (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and AEGON USA Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved competitive investment performance, noting that the Fund performance has been above median relative to its peers and superior to the benchmark index over the past one-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board expressed disappointment with the below-median performance over the past three-year period, but noted that this may result, in part, from the Fund's traditional investment focus on higher-quality high-yield issues because of the restrictions in investing in lower-quality issues that existed until recently. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Board favorably noted the Fund's new pricing schedule, which results in lower management and sub-advisory fees to the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders, and also reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's new pricing schedule (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Transamerica High-Yield Bond (continued)

profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board noted that the Fund is closed to new investors and will be closed to new investments in the near future, except that the Fund may continue selling shares to other TA IDEX funds and other investment companies in the same group of investment companies as TA IDEX, which may limit, to an extent, the ability of the Fund to realize economies of scale. The Board then noted and went on to conclude that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting, and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,020.56       0.48       2.21    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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: As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, the securities held by the Fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received $1 in 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.

NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI") is the Fund's investment adviser. Transamerica Fund Services, Inc. ("TFS") is the Fund's administrator and transfer agent. AFSG Securities Corp. ("AFSG") is the Fund's distributor/principal underwriter. TFAI, TFS, and AFSG are affiliates of AEGON, NV, a Netherlands corporation.

Transamerica Investment Management, LLC is both an affiliate of the Fund and a sub-adviser to the Fund.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of TFAI, TFS and AFSG.

Investment advisory fees: The Fund pays management fees to TFAI based on average daily net assets ("ANA") at the following rate:

0.40% of ANA

TFAI has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and will reimburse the Fund to the extent that operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, exceed the following stated annual limit:

0.48% Expense Limit

If total Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation agreement agreed to by the adviser within the succeeding three years, the Fund may be required to pay the adviser a portion or all of the waived advisory fees.

Distribution and service fees: The Fund has a 12b-1 distribution plan under the 1940 Act pursuant to which an annual fee, based on average daily net assets, is paid to the distributor for various disbursements such as broker-dealer account servicing fees and other promotional expenses of the Fund. The Fund is authorized under the 12b-1 plan to pay fees on each class up to the following limits:

Class A     0.35 %  
Class B     1.00 %  
Class C     1.00 %  
Class I     N/A    

 

In the case the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund is closed to new investors or investments, the Fund is authorized to pay 12b-1 fees for past sales and distribution efforts and present and past investor services.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $    
Retained by Underwriter        
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     50    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $182 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $12.

NOTE 3.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, capital loss carry forwards and dividends payable.

NOTE 4.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica Money Market (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved acceptable investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been at median relative to its peers over the past one-, two-, and three-year periods although its performance trailed the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), and other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees). Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, and TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

TA IDEX Transamerica Money Market (continued)

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. Although the investment advisory fees do not reduce should Fund assets grow meaningfully, the Board determined that the investment advisory fees already reflect potential economies of scale to some extent by virtue of their competitive levels determined with reference to industry standards as reported by Lipper and the estimated profitability at current or foreseeable asset levels. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which has resulted, and may continue to result, in TFAI waiving a substantial amount of advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the second line 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.

Hypothetical (b)     1,000.00       1,018.78       0.87       3.99    

 

(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 number of days in the period (181 days for Classes A, B and C, and 166 days for Class I), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)  5% return per year before expenses.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

In the normal course of business, TA IDEX Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value (the "Fund") enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Repurchase agreements: The Fund is authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Fund, through its custodian, IBT, receives 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 Fund 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-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $29 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Securities lending: The Fund may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT 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 short term, interest bearing securities. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees, in the amount of $82, earned by IBT for its services.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

NOTE 1.–(continued)

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.

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 Fund is 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.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

Underwriter commissions relate to front-end sales charges imposed for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges from Classes B, C, and certain A share redemptions. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the underwriter commissions were as follows:

Received by Underwriter   $ 148    
Retained by Underwriter     22    
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge     43    

 

Administrative services: The Fund has entered into an agreement with TFS for financial and legal fund administration services. The Fund pays TFS an annual fee of 0.02% of ANA. The Legal fees on the Statement of Operations are fees paid to external legal counsel.

Transfer agent fees: The Fund pays TFS an annual per-account charge for each open and closed account. The Fund paid TFS $126 for the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Deferred compensation plan: Each eligible independent Fund Trustee may elect to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Fund Trustee. Each Trustee who is a participant in the Plan may elect that the earnings, losses or gains credited to his or her deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $14.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 62,877    
U.S. Government        
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     48,796    
U.S. Government        

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and distribution reclassifications.

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team, and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Board favorably noted the Fund's competitive performance compared to its peers and benchmark. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved superior investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been above median relative to its peers over the past one-, two- and three-year periods, and superior to the benchmark index over the past one-, two- and three-year periods (although some of the prior performance was attributable, in part, to another sub-advisor). On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

12



TA IDEX Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value (continued)

the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S 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, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 1, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund 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 sales charges, redemption fees, brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares.

Therefore, the second line 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.

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

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

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

In preparing the Fund's 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 Fund.

Multiple class operations, income and expenses: The Fund currently offers four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class I, each with a public offering price that reflects different sales charges, if any, and expense levels. Class I shares commenced operations on November 15, 2005. Class I is only available for investment to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Class I is currently un-invested. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. 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 Fund values its investments at the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. Fund 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.

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 the Fund's Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board's Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT"). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Fund to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Commission recapture: The sub-adviser, to the extent consistent with the best execution and usual commission rate policies and practices, may place security transactions of the Fund with broker/dealers with which Transamerica IDEX Mutual 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 Fund. In no event will commissions paid by the Fund be used to pay expenses that would otherwise be borne by any other funds within Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Recaptured commissions during the six months ended April 30, 2006, of $5 are included in net realized gains in the Statement of Operations.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

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.

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 Fund is 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.

Option contracts: The Fund may enter into options contracts to manage exposure to 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 imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the

options contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contracts terms.

Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.

The underlying face amounts of open option contracts at April 30, 2006 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

Redemption fees: A short-term trading redemption fee may be assessed on any Fund shares in a fund account that are sold 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 six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund received less than $1 in 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.

deferred fee amounts be determined based on a deemed investment in any series of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds, including the Fund. 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 IDEX Mutual Funds. The pro rata liability to the Fund of all deferred fees in the Plan amounted, as of April 30, 2006, to $15.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows:

Purchases of securities:  
Long-Term   $ 5,511    
U.S. Government     8,101    
Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities:  
Long-Term     11,173    
U.S. Government     7,507    

 

NOTE 4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund has not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to its policy to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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, excess distributions and capital loss carryforwards.

The capital loss carryforward is available to offset future realized capital gains through the period listed:

Capital Loss
Carryforward
  Available through  
$ 2,658     October 31, 2010  

 

NOTE 5.  REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Fund's investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Fund currently believes that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on it is remote. It is important to note that the Fund is not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against it and its Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Fund, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Fund and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Fund, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

TA IDEX Transamerica Value Balanced

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS – REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds ("TA IDEX") held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Transamerica Value Balanced (the "Fund") and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. ("TFAI"), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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"), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI's senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI's management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser's portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund's operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined both the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for various trailing periods ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser had generally achieved competitive investment performance, noting that although the performance of the Fund has been at median relative to its peers over the past one- and two-year periods, its performance has been above median relative to its peers over the past three- and five-year periods, and superior or competitive to the benchmark index over the past one-, two-, three- and five-year periods. On the basis of the Trustees' assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI's costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund's management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees were higher than many peer funds, although the overall expense ratio of the Fund generally was consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board's review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI's audited financial statements), TFAI's estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI's and its affiliates' service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI's and the Sub-Adviser's

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds

Semi-Annual Report 2006

TA IDEX Transamerica Value Balanced (continued)

profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund's management fees appropriately reflect the Fund's current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI's pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including "soft dollar" benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize "soft dollar" benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund's overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund's operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI's expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which has resulted, and may continue to result, in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at December 6, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(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 number of days in the period (181 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at December 6, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at December 6, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(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 number of days in the period (145 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 15, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(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 number of days in the period (166 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at December 6, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(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 number of days in the period (145 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at November 15, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at December 6, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at December 6, 2005 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(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 number of days in the period (145 days), and divided by the number of days in the year (365 days).

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

(b)          5% return per year before expenses.

(unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

Fund shareholders may incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Shares of the Fund currently are sold only to certain Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds and AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust (an affiliate of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds) asset allocation funds at net asset value, without any transaction costs.

The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at January 3, 2006 and held for the entire period until April 30, 2006.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line of your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(all amounts in thousands)
(unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). TA IDEX AllianceBernstein International Value (“AllianceBernstein International Value”), TA IDEX Evergreen International Small Cap (“Evergreen International Small Cap”), TA IDEX Federated Market Opportunity (“Federated Market Opportunity”), TA IDEX JPMorgan International Bond (“JPMorgan International Bond”), TA IDEX J.P. Morgan Mid Cap Value (“J.P. Morgan Mid Cap Value”), TA IDEX Marsico International Growth (“Marsico International Growth”), TA IDEX Mercury Global Allocation (“Mercury Global Allocation”), TA IDEX Mercury Large Cap Value (“Mercury Large Cap Value”), TA IDEX Neuberger Berman International (“Neuberger Berman International”), TA IDEX Oppenheimer Developing Markets (“Oppenheimer Developing Markets”), TA IDEX Transamerica Short-Term Bond (“Transamerica Short-Term Bond”), TA IDEX UBS Large Cap Value (“UBS Large Cap Value”), TA IDEX Van Kampen Emerging Markets Debt (“Van Kampen Emerging Markets Debt”), TA IDEX Van Kampen Mid-Cap Growth (“Van Kampen Mid-Cap Growth”), and TA IDEX Van Kampen Small Company Growth (“Van Kampen Small Company Growth”), (each a “Fund” and collectively “the Funds”), are part of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds.

Evergreen International Small Cap, Marsico International Growth, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, UBS Large Cap Value, Van Kampen Emerging Markets Debt andVan Kampen Small Company Growth commenced operations on November 8, 2004.

J.P. Morgan Mid Cap Value and Mercury Large Cap Value commenced operations on March 1, 2005 with Class A shares. J.P. Morgan Mid Cap Value and Mercury Large Cap Value commenced operations on Class I shares and converted Class A assets to Class I assets on November 15, 2005.

AllianceBernstein International Value, Federated Market Opportunity, JPMorgan International Bond, Mercury Global Allocation, Neuberger Berman International and Oppenheimer Developing Markets commenced operations on December 6, 2005.

Van Kampen Mid-Cap Growth commenced operations on January 3, 2006.

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.

This report should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ current prospectuses, which contain more complete information about the Funds.

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:  The Funds currently offer one class of shares, Class I shares, which are currently being offered for sale only to certain affiliated asset allocation funds. Effective November 16, 2005, Evergreen International Small Cap, J.P.Morgan Mid Cap Value, Marsico International

177




 

Growth, Mercury Large Cap Value, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, UBS Large Cap Value, Van Kampen Emerging Markets Debt and Van Kampen Small Company Growth ceased offering Class A shares. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses, were 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 bore 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. Fund 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.

Investment company securities are valued at the net asset value of the underlying portfolio.

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 the Funds’ Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board’s Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by 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 the Funds’ Administrative Valuation Committee, under the supervision of the Board’s Valuation Committee, using guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Cash: The Funds may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian, Investors Bank & Trust Company (“IBT”). IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Funds to invest the excess cash into a savings account, which at April 30, 2006, was paying an interest rate of 3.24%.

Throughout the year, the Fund may have a cash overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate.

Repurchase agreements:  The Funds are authorized to enter into repurchase agreements. The Funds, through their custodian, IBT, 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 IDEX Mutual 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 IDEX Mutual Funds, or by any other party.

Securities lending:  The Funds may lend securities to qualified borrowers, with IBT acting as the Funds’ lending agent. The Funds earn negotiated lenders’ fees. The Funds receive cash and/or securities as collateral against the loaned securities. Cash collateral received is invested in short term, interest bearing securities. The Funds monitor the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requires collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. Income from loaned securities on the Statement of Operations is net of fees earned by IBT for its services, in the following amounts:

Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

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.

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.

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. The cost of foreign securities is translated at the exchange rate in effect when the investment was acquired. Each Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in value when computing net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include: 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 capital gains taxes:  The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. 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 currency contracts at April 30, 2006 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.

Futures contracts:  The Funds may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to market, interest rate or currency fluctuations. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held and the prices of futures contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contract terms.

Open futures contracts at April 30, 2006 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.

Option contracts:  The Funds may enter into options contracts to manage exposure to 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 imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held and the prices of the options contracts; the possibility of an illiquid market and inability of the counterparty to meet the contracts terms. When a Fund writes a covered call or put option, 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. Options are marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the option written.

The underlying face amounts of open option contracts at April 30, 2006 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.

NOTE 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Funds have not made any provision for federal income or excise taxes due to their policy to distribute all of their taxable income and capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. 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 and foreign currency transactions.

NOTE 5. REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS

There continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, particularly mutual fund companies and their investment advisers. As part of an ongoing investigation regarding potential market timing, recordkeeping and trading compliance issues and matters affecting the Funds’ investment adviser, TFAI, and certain affiliates and former employees of TFAI, the SEC staff has indicated that it is likely to take some action against TFAI and certain of its affiliates at the conclusion of the investigation. The potential timing and the scope of any such action is difficult to predict. Although the impact of any action brought against TFAI and/or its affiliates is difficult to assess at the present time, the Funds currently believe that the likelihood that any such action will have a material adverse impact on them is remote. It is important to note that the Funds are not aware of any allegation of wrongdoing against them and their Board at the time this semi-annual report is printed. Although it is not anticipated that these developments will have an adverse impact on the Funds, there can be no assurance at this time. TFAI and its affiliates are actively working with the SEC in regard to this matter; however, the exact resolution cannot be determined at this time. TFAI will take such actions that it deems necessary or appropriate to continue providing management services to the Funds and to bring all matters to an appropriate conclusion.

TFAI and/or its affiliates, and not the Funds, will bear the costs regarding these regulatory matters.

TA IDEX ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL VALUE


INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND APPROVAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on July 26, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX AllianceBernstein International Value (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Alliance Capital Management, L.P. (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be approved for an initial two-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the comparative fee, expense and performance information of another fund managed by the Sub-Adviser that is managed in accordance with an investment program that closely resembles the proposed investment program of the Fund (the “Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund”) prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and anticipated profitability data. In considering the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team. The Board also determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the proposed operations of the Fund, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board noted that no performance information is available for the Fund, but considered the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund as compared to its Lipper peers. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund has outperformed its Lipper peers for the year-to-date, one- and three-year trailing periods ended May 31, 2005. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services expected to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, as well as the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed estimated profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the anticipated costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Board noted that the anticipated asset weighted investment management fee for the Fund is lower than the category median investment management fee. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the level of anticipated

185




investment management fees and estimated overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. The Board also took note of the costs involved in establishing a new fund. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, the anticipated TFAI profitability information (based on estimates derived from a TFAI profitability analysis provided at the meeting), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the anticipated investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s estimated profitability, are appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services proposed to be provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

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 proposed Investment Advisory Agreement reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board took note of the proposed advisory fee breakpoints as detailed in the materials provided, and noted each fee breakpoint with respect to the various asset levels achieved by the Fund. The Board concluded that the inclusion of the asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board determined that the Fund’s proposed management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s anticipated size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and the TFAI’s pricing strategy. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including “soft-dollar” benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions should be reasonable and fair, and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees to be paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI should be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services anticipated to be provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. In approving the Fund, the Board considered the high quality of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management personnel who will manage the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Adviser’s overall portfolio management capabilities. The Board also considered the proposed investment objective of the Fund and the proposed strategy for the Fund, and determined that it would enhance the investment options for the asset allocation funds. The Board determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser have 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the TA IDEX funds, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the TA IDEX funds, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

TA IDEX EVERGREEN INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP


INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Evergreen International Small Cap (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”) as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team, and the Fund’s investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the year-to-date (the Fund commenced operations on November 8, 2004) performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved superior investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been above median relative to its peers and superior to the benchmark index over this period. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of

187




provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund’s management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI’s pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

TA IDEX FEDERATED MARKET OPPORTUNITY


INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND APPROVAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on July 26, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Federated Market Opportunity (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be approved for an initial two-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the comparative fee, expense and performance information of another fund managed by the Sub-Adviser that is managed in accordance with an investment program that closely resembles the proposed investment program of the Fund (the “Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund”) prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and anticipated profitability data. In considering the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team. The Board also determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the proposed operations of the Fund, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board noted that no performance information is available for the Fund, but considered the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund as compared to its Lipper peers. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund has outperformed its Lipper peers for the year-to-date, one- and three-year trailing periods ended May 31, 2005. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services expected to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, as well as the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed estimated profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the anticipated costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Board noted that the anticipated asset weighted investment management fee for the Fund is lower than the category median investment management fee. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the level of anticipated

189




investment management fees and estimated overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. The Board also took note of the costs involved in establishing a new fund. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, the anticipated TFAI profitability information (based on estimates derived from a TFAI profitability analysis provided at the meeting), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the anticipated investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s estimated profitability, are appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services proposed to be provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

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 proposed Investment Advisory Agreement reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board took note of the proposed advisory fee breakpoints as detailed in the materials provided, and noted each fee breakpoint with respect to the various asset levels achieved by the Fund. The Board concluded that the inclusion of the asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board determined that the Fund’s proposed management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s anticipated size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and the TFAI’s pricing strategy. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including “soft-dollar” benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions should be reasonable and fair, and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees to be paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI should be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services anticipated to be provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. In approving the Fund, the Board considered the high quality of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management personnel who will manage the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Adviser’s overall portfolio management capabilities. The Board also considered the proposed investment objective of the Fund and the proposed strategy for the Fund, and determined that it would enhance the investment options for the asset allocation funds. The Board determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser have 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the TA IDEX funds, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the TA IDEX funds, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

The Board also determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the proposed operations of the Fund, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund as compared to its Lipper peers. The Board noted that although the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund slightly trails its Lipper peers for the year-to-date trailing period, it has outperformed its Lipper peers for the past one- and three-year trailing periods ended May 31, 2005. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services expected to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, as well as the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and that the Sub-Adviser’s “soft-dollar” arrangements will be consistent with applicable law and “best execution” requirements. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees to be paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI should be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services anticipated to be provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX J.P. Morgan Mid Cap Value (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process, and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the year-to-date (the Fund commenced operations on March 1, 2005) performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser had achieved acceptable performance, noting that although the Fund performance was below-median relative to its peers over this period, it was competitive with the benchmark index. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of  advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

193




The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund’s management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI’s pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser.

TA IDEX MARSICO INTERNATIONAL GROWTH


INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Marsico International Growth (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement.

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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the year-to-date (the Fund commenced operations on November 8, 2004) performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, ended June 30, 2005. The Board reviewed the Fund’s below-median performance during the brief period since its inception, but noted that the Sub-Adviser’s proprietary fund, which has comparable investment objectives and strategies, has a competitive longer-term performance record. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of

195




provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Board instructed TFAI to attempt to lower the Fund’s management fees in the future, which currently are relatively high, although the Board also noted that the Fund’s total expense ratios are competitive. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund’s management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI’s pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

TA IDEX MERCURY GLOBAL ALLOCATION


INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND APPROVAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on July 26, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Mercury Global Allocation (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Fund Asset Management, L.P., doing business as Mercury Advisors (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be approved for an initial two-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the comparative fee, expense and performance information of another fund managed by the Sub-Adviser that is managed in accordance with an investment program that closely resembles the proposed investment program of the Fund (the “Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund”) prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and anticipated profitability data. In considering the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team. The Board also determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the proposed operations of the Fund, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund as compared to its Lipper peers. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund has outperformed its Lipper peers for the year-to-date, one-, and three-year trailing periods ended May 31, 2005. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services expected to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, as well as the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed estimated profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the anticipated costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the level of anticipated investment management fees and estimated overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. The Board also took note of the costs involved in establishing a new fund. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be

197




charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, the anticipated TFAI profitability information (based on estimates derived from a TFAI profitability analysis provided at the meeting), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the anticipated investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s estimated profitability, are appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services proposed to be provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

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 proposed Investment Advisory Agreement reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board took note of the proposed advisory fee breakpoints as detailed in the materials provided, and noted each fee breakpoint with respect to the various asset levels achieved by the Fund. The Board concluded that the inclusion of the asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board determined that the Fund’s proposed management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s anticipated size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and the TFAI’s pricing strategy. The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including “soft-dollar” benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions should be reasonable and fair, and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and that the Sub-Adviser’s “soft-dollar” arrangements will be consistent with applicable law and “best execution” requirements. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees to be paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI should be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services anticipated to be provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. In approving the Fund, the Board considered the high quality of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management personnel who will manage the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Adviser’s overall portfolio management capabilities. The Board also considered the proposed investment objective of the Fund and the proposed strategy for the Fund, and determined that it would enhance the investment options for the asset allocation funds. The Board determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser have 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the TA IDEX funds, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the TA IDEX funds, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Mercury Large Cap Value (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Fund Asset Management, L.P., doing business as Mercury Advisors (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability  and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team, and the Fund’s investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the year-to-date performance (the Fund commenced operations on March 1, 2005) of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, ended June 30, 2005. The Board favorably noted the competitive performance of the Fund since its creation and the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser had achieved superior performance, noting that the Fund’s performance has been above median relative to its peers and superior to the benchmark index over this period. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund’s management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI’s pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

TA IDEX NEUBERGER BERMAN INTERNATIONAL

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND APPROVAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on July 26, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Neuberger Berman International (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be approved for an initial two-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the comparative fee, expense and performance information of another fund managed by the Sub-Adviser that is managed in accordance with an investment program that closely resembles the proposed investment program of the Fund (the “Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund”) prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and anticipated profitability data. In considering the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Board concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team. The Board also determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser can provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the proposed operations of the Fund, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund as compared to its Lipper peers. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund has outperformed its Lipper peers for the year-to-date, one- and three-year trailing periods ended May 31, 2005. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services expected to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, as well as the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s Similar Fund, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed estimated profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the anticipated costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Board noted that the anticipated asset weighted investment management fee for the Fund is lower than the category median investment management fee. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the level of anticipated investment management fees and estimated overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. The Board also took note of the costs involved in establishing a new fund. In addition,

201




 

on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, the anticipated TFAI profitability information (based on estimates derived from a TFAI profitability analysis provided at the meeting), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the anticipated investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s estimated profitability, are appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services proposed to be provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

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 proposed Investment Advisory Agreement reflect economies of scale or will permit economies of scale to be realized in the future, the Board took note of the proposed advisory fee breakpoints as detailed in the materials provided, and noted each fee breakpoint with respect to the various asset levels achieved by the Fund.

The Trustees also concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits anticipated to be derived by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including “soft-dollar” benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions should be reasonable and fair, and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees to be paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI should be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services anticipated to be provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. In approving the Fund, the Board considered the high quality of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management personnel who will manage the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Adviser’s overall portfolio management capabilities. The Board also considered the proposed investment objective of the Fund and the proposed strategy for the Fund, and determined that it would enhance the investment options for the asset allocation funds. The Board determined that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser have 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.

TA IDEX TRANSAMERICA SHORT-TERM BOND

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Short-Term Bond (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team, and the Fund’s investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the year-to-date performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, for the period ended June 30, 2005. The Board noted that the Fund had under-performed during the period under review, but noted that the Fund had a very limited performance record as it was recently created, which also had generated a high level of portfolio turnover. The Board decided to monitor the performance of the Fund going forward, and determined that the Fund’s performance was acceptable under the circumstances. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund’s management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI’s pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

TA IDEX UBS LARGE CAP VALUE

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX UBS Large Cap Value (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team, and the Fund’s investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the year-to-date (the Fund commenced operations on November 8, 2004) performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved superior investment performance, noting that the Fund’s performance has been above median relative to its peers and superior to the benchmark index over this period. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Board favorably noted the Fund’s new pricing schedule, which results in lower management and sub-advisory fees to the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders, and also reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund’s new pricing schedule (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against peer groups of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the Fund’s new management fee schedule and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI’s pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including “soft dollar” benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting, and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. The Board also determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

(“TFAI”), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders.

The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data.

The Board examined the year-to-date (the Fund commenced operations on November 8, 2004) performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, ended June 30, 2005. The Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser had achieved investment performance below median relative to its peers and below the performance of the benchmark index over this period, but noted that the Fund had a very limited operating history. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA

IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund’s management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund.

TA IDEX VAN KAMPEN MID-CAP GROWTH

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND APPROVAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Van Kampen Mid-Cap Growth (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the proposed Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be approved for an initial two-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board, including the independent members of the Board, unanimously approved the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the anticipated fee and expense information and profitability data prepared by TFAI. In considering the approval of the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered its prior discussion of the Fund during the September meeting, during which the Board reached a number of conclusions about the management program proposed by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services expected to be provided by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Board concluded that TFAI 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, TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process and the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations and the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board noted that no performance information is available for the Fund, but determined that most other funds managed by the Sub-Adviser have generally performed well. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services expected to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance records indicate that their management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed estimated profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the proposed management fees and estimated overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its

 

211




 

affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the anticipated investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s estimated profitability, are appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services proposed to be provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board noted the absence of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee schedule, which is explained in part by the relatively high costs of pursuing the Fund’s investment mandate, which may not necessarily diminish as assets grow. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s anticipated size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI’s pricing strategy. The Board nevertheless asked TFAI to work with the Sub-Adviser to attempt to propose such breakpoints in the future. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits expected to be derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that neither TFAI nor the Sub-Adviser realizes “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees to be paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI will be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the TA IDEX funds, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the TA IDEX funds, including the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.

TA IDEX VAN KAMPEN SMALL COMPANY GROWTH

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS - REVIEW AND RENEWAL (unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Transamerica IDEX Mutual Funds (“TA IDEX”) held on November 2, 2005, the Board reviewed and considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between TA IDEX Van Kampen Small Company Growth (the “Fund”) and Transamerica Fund Advisors, Inc. (“TFAI”), as well as the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement of the Fund between TFAI and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), to determine whether the agreements should be renewed for a one-year period. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, 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 the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed agreements. The Trustees also carefully considered the information that they had received throughout the year from TFAI and the Sub-Adviser (such as in-person presentations by 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”), independent providers of mutual fund performance, fee and expense information, and profitability data. In considering the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees evaluated a number of considerations that they believe, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by TA IDEX counsel and 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 service to be provided. The Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided by TFAI 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 TFAI 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, TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the funds they manage, including the Fund, and the experience, capability and integrity of TFAI’s senior management, the financial resources of TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, TFAI’s management oversight process, the professional qualifications and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team, and the Fund’s investment performance. The Trustees also concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Fund in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs, and that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s obligations will remain substantially the same.

The investment performance of the Fund. The Board examined the year-to-date (the Fund commenced operations on November 8, 2004) performance of the Fund, including relative performance against a benchmark securities index and a peer group of comparable mutual funds as prepared by Lipper, ended June 30, 2005. The Board favorably noted the competitive performance of the Fund and the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser generally had achieved superior investment performance, noting that the performance of the Fund has been above median relative to its peers and exceeded the benchmark index over this period. On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the nature, extent and quality of advisory services to be provided or procured by TFAI and the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees concluded that TFAI and the Sub-Adviser are capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies and competitive with many other investment companies, and also determined that TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s performance records indicate that their continued management is likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board reviewed profitability information regarding TFAI’s costs of procuring portfolio management services, as well as the costs of

213




 

provision of administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other services, to the Fund and to TA IDEX as a whole by TFAI and its affiliates. The Trustees reviewed data from Lipper that compared the Fund’s management fees (including management fees at various asset levels), other fees and expenses (including total expenses including and excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees) and portfolio turnover rate against a peer group of comparable mutual funds. Based on such information, the Trustees determined that the management fees and overall expense ratio of the Fund generally are consistent with industry averages. In addition, on the basis of the Board’s review of the management fees to be charged by TFAI for investment advisory and related services, TFAI profitability information (derived from TFAI’s audited financial statements), TFAI’s estimated management income resulting from its management of the Fund, the estimated margin of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the entirety of TFAI’s and its affiliates’ service relationship with TA IDEX, the Board concluded that the level of investment management fees and other service fees, as well as TFAI’s and the Sub-Adviser’s profitability, are appropriate in light of the services provided, the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund, TFAI and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser.

Whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. The Board concluded that the inclusion of asset-based breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule appropriately benefits investors by realizing economies of scale in the form of lower management fees as the level of assets grows. In addition, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fees appropriately reflect the Fund’s current size, the current economic environment for TFAI, the competitive nature of the investment company market, and TFAI’s pricing strategy. 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 TFAI and fees payable by TFAI to the Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Benefits (such as soft dollars) to TFAI, its affiliates, or the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by TFAI, its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, including “soft dollar” benefits (if any) in connection with brokerage transactions, sales charges and distribution/service fees (to the extent applicable) are reasonable and fair, and are consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that TFAI does not realize “soft dollar” benefits from its relationship with the Fund, and 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. In addition, the Trustees determined that the administration, transfer agency, fund accounting and other fees paid by the Fund to affiliates of TFAI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, the associated costs to these affiliates of providing the services, the impact of the costs of such services on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, and the necessity of the services for the Fund’s operations.

Other considerations. The Board determined that TFAI had made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintained 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 TFAI to enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and oversee the portfolio management activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees also determined that TFAI had made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, reflected by TFAI’s expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund, which may result in TFAI waiving advisory fees for the benefit of shareholders.
